So there’s this game type that’s played by every single person on Halo: Reach. In it, you can only kill with assassinations. It may sound fun at first, but it’s terrible. Every single person is playing it for hours, yes, HOURS on end. They are doing nothing but playing this idiotic game type and I’m getting sick of it. In the game, the only people that win are the people with the laggy connections. That means that even an unborn child connecting the $5 modem to the Xbox with it’s umbilical cord can beat you. I wouldn’t even mind it if people would play something else for once! This is the only thing that people play, that means that when I get on reach and try to host a custom game, I will get one person in my lobby if I’m lucky. Meanwhile, I look at what my friends are playing and I see “Custom Game - In a Game” with 14+ in each game, all playing assassination! I can go do laundry, take a nap and go out for a nice steak dinner and still see the same amount of people, or more playing that same damn game! And guess what, it doesn’t stop there. When you join a game of assassination, you will see a giant tower, it might have two initials on it with a heart (I’ll explain that later) or just be blank. It goes above the map limit and that’s about it. You get a plasma pistol and a sword. In assassination, the plasma pistol means that you don’t want to fight and the sword means that you do want to fight. It’s completely stupid because you are SUPPOSED to kill and not killing holds up the long, 10 round game that requires 100 kills each round to get a game over. The game never ends! It’s such a stupid and boring concept that everyone loves! Nobody likes anything else. 343 should just make an entire matchmaking game type and let people submit their tower maps when forge comes out, that would definitely let them keep 80% of the population until the next game comes out. And now with their T rating, there will be even more desperate and lonely 12 year olds playing it! Everyone wins!
Now for the community, it’s full of “emo” 12 year olds that wander around the map shooting the ground, with service tags saying “SAD” for reasons unknown. They are an easy kill so just treat yourself and eliminate them. Next are the desperate ones. They roam around the map looking for the nearest person with the female avatar to crouch next to. It’s pathetic and lame. They will usually message the girl with an idiotic attempt to hook up with them BEFORE they even send the friend request! If they are successful, it’s usually some immature 9 year old girl who knows nothing about love. This means that there are dudes over the age of 16 (yes, I have seen this before) with 9 year old girls. They get extremely angry when you come near their “girlfriend” and try to kill her, even though the point of the game is to kill! Don’t even shoot your weapons at them, even though they can’t damage you because they still get angry. I don’t understand why all these role playing elements are put into a game type with nothing to do but kill!
Can somebody tell me what makes this game type so enjoyable that is must be the only custom game played on Reach?
