let me start by saying ive been a die hard halo fan from the first day. basically the only game i play on live. after halo 3 i lost my desire. wasnt a fan of the game, and i dont think many people welcomed the change. i still went and bought reach.
i usually dont play to much anymore these days… maybe hour or two per night, so i know im not your target demo anymore. but i cant for the life of me understand why you would take away the most ‘community’ based game type, action sack?
compare hockey or haloball X to any other game type. 9 out of 10 times, all 8 players would vote for these game types. people LOVED these style of games. how can you tell me that ‘nobody played these games’. at 12am PST i could get 8 people to play action sack with me. also guests! action sack is a game type that doesnt involve much thinking for guests. see ball, hit ball…
i know that the spirit of halo isnt to play ball games. and i do like the other parts of action sack… CTF, boom ball, etc… but this really leaves a bad taste in my mouth… by far some of the most fun games ive ever played have been from action sack.
i realize this is probably falling on deaf ears, since everyone is all about halo 4 now, but look at all these threads about action sack. its not to late to restore faith, and prove to your ‘community’ that you are listening.
just my two cents…
