If you haven’t noticed, most of the xp comes from completing games. Yes you get xp for your score but really, how much have you truly gotten, 300, 500 on a good game, need I say more. Game complete gives you 1700 to 3000.
Halo has taken a good turn. Yes there is team based strategy warfare (which is in every game, even COD) but mainly it is mindless fun, and frankly, I like it, most people like it. Winning is great but usually the teams are balanced enough for everyone to get 10-20 kills/150-350 points a match. I even betray sometimes for fun, have a good laugh.
So yeah, losing one match is ok because guess what, you then vote and start a new round.
Gasps from audience
EDIT: Another note: 343 won’t change the boltshot simply because no one uses it. I have found maybe 2 people who could effectively use it. In all my matches.
This is exactly why Halo is failing is because of community members like you. Online isn’t meant for JUST mindless fun just like it isn’t meant for JUST competetion, (Looks back at Halo 3’s Social and Competitive playlists). Yes sometimes its fun just to mess around, personally its not my thing to do it online (I prefer customs or single player) but Halo has also been about the best player winning and now with a progressive leveling system, perks, loadouts, killstreaks(oh sorry i meant ordinance. It’s starting to veer off the path that was once Halo. Yes COD is popular, but so was Halo! Before this game came out 343 talked about having the competitive community in mind and bringing Halo back to its roots, they lied. Halo has never been so non-Haloy (Hope that’s a word?). I actually enjoyed Reach. I said it. Halo 4 just overall sucks, 343 needs to do better on Halo 5 or risk losing their community. My rant is over now.
haha i can’t tell if OP is trolling or just the worst halo player ever.
> I even betray sometimes for fun, have a good laugh.
The person you betrayed isn’t laughing

You must have an awful trueskill and get matched against people that play with no thumbs because everyone in every 4v4 game that knows what they are doing uses a boltshot.
Or you could be trolling hard. I hope this is the case.
…the ‘real’ problem is when Bungie sold the rights to m$hit in the 1st place w/CE, it was destined for failure due to -Yoink!- priority of APPEALING to the MASSES…
> 343 needs to do better on Halo 5 or risk losing their community. My rant is over now.
Considering about 20,000 of the 100 K players are on the forums regularly (plus the forum is split between H4 followers and hardcore non-changing people like you) , I don’t think 343 will change much in H5. What you and your half don’t understand is that Halo is dead, it went out like Johnson with Reach but Halo is dead. 343 made Halo-o minus the -o, it is Halo at its core but isn’t halo. Your half can’t accept this, simple as that.
Ben to the JJ, interesting points, thanks for not being a halo 1/2/3 -Yoink-.
I care about winning. I care about entering a game as equals (or as much as you can get with loadouts).
I should have to join a game where my team is already down 12 kills. There is nothign fair about that. It would be one thing if it was just a “bonus round” and only counted for you if you did well but if did bad it just never got recorded.
But no. losing a game you entered when you were already down 12 kills is the same as a game you were in from start to finish.
> tired of 343? We as a community should of never drove off bungie. The blame is to be placed squarely on our shoulders.
…We never did drive off Bungie. They got tired of making Halo for 10 years, and wanted something new. If you check their homepage, they have concept art for what I think is their next game, and it looks sick.
JIP would work if they simply decreased the score differential that’s ‘acceptable’ to JIP, and implement harsher quit bans so people don’t leave in the first place. Granted, if you need to go in the middle of a game you would be fine, but for those who leave multiple games in a day.
Same goes for people whose networks drop, I’m sorry but you’re ruining it for everyone when you quit out and leave your team a man down. Plus, it really can’t be fun dropping out of multiple games a day, so hopefully you’ve already considered getting up and fixing it already.
> tired of 343? We as a community should of never drove off bungie. The blame is to be placed squarely on our shoulders.
Bungie was never driven off by the community. They were driven off by the other side of having a close relationship of microsoft. Microsoft wanted more from bungie than they wanted to do, which is the price you pay for having microsoft level resources at your fingertips. it has nothign to do with the community.
EIther way my love for bungie died when they released reach. Invincibility button? lottery bloom? 3 shots+melee= 1 melee? Yeh bungie needed to go…

So you call us “hardcore non-changing people”? What? When you were playing a match of CE 2 or 3 did you ever stop and say to yourself. Wow i wish I needed a perk to pick up the extra nades from the person I killed. Or did you wish people could spawn with shotguns? Or that weapon spawns were random so a team can camp better?
You see, every fan of ce 2 3 wants to see change. If we didnt we owuldnt buy sequels. But we just dont want changes to stuff that no one ever really had an issue with just for the sake of change.

I would buy you a White Russian at a bar if you were my friend in real life with that babe of a post. We need more posts like this atlest. 343i just doesn’t get it. Or they just don’t care where they are taking this game.
