I think when it comes to the competitive community, I think a lot of people on these forums have numerous misconceptions about us. I’m here to alleviate some of those, and give you a feel of what we really want. Hear me out.
First of all, we don’t play video games for fun. Nor have we ever. We play them in the hopes that one day we’ll be making cash off of them. We know everything there is to know about gameplay, and this is where I’m confused.
You guys don’t know anything about Halo, so why are you suggesting ideas? Why are you even here?
What has to be done with the playlists in H4 is, no more casual-fests. Anything that works for competitive players works for casuals. BR starts, rockets, and snipers are the only weapons that take skill, and/or are power weapons worth going for. Crappy BS weapons like the AR and shotgun should just die along with Reach, as they took no skill to use. And playlists like Living Dead, and Swat? Gone. They take no skill at all.
Halo 4 only needs 4 playlists.
-4v4 Team Slayer (BR starts, 50 kill limit, one grenade off spawn)
-Free-for-all (BR starts, no kill limit)
-2v2 Double Team (BR starts, 25 kill limit, one grenade off spawn)
-MLG (BR starts, 50 kill limit/objective gametypes, one grenade off spawn)
Playlists like Living Dead/Swat/Big Team Battle take virtually no skill whatsoever, and are ruining Halo.
So, to reiterate my points. We don’t play this game for fun. We play to win. These casual-playlists that take no skill are annoying, and should be removed.**[/spoiler]

I stopped reading there. I play competitively and I enjoy it. In fact, the only reason why I play competitive is because normal games aren’t fun for me any-more.
> We play them in the hopes that one day we’ll be making cash off of them. We know everything there is to know about gameplay, and this is where I’m confused.
If you treat gaming as a job, it’s going to start feeling like a job. You’re going to want to stop and get away from it.
I sincerely hope this thread was written sarcastically. But in any case it wasn’t: the OP definitely doesn’t speak for the competitive community nor do none of his thoughts match with the goals of the comeptitive community as a whole.
Edit: how many people will read my post and aknowledge the obvious sarcasm is yet to be seen.

Wow well let me give you a hint I would HATE to be forced to be good at halo knowing that if i become bad I don’t get a paycheck so explain to me why they should only put in gametypes for people who want to play a game for a paycheck? If you want to play gametypes revolved around winning for the sake of wining go play MLG while I enjoy my BTB</mark>
> <mark>EDIT: PS just cause you play a game for winning does not mean you know “EVERYTHING” about gameplay. that means you just know tactics on how to win and most players including me don’t play matches to see who’s the best at spawn camping.</mark>

I don’t think this is the way to go. I do think they should improve on what is available for competitive minded players. Arena is the only ranked playlist but it seems it got abandoned and MLG never has had any kind of reward for playing like other social playlists have had. <mark>They need to support competitive players more I agree with that.</mark> However, they shouldn’t leave the social stuff out in the cold.
> EDIT: I don’t mean MLG is social. I was just saying it never gets any love from the big jackpot type stuff not that I can remember anyway.

This is the dumbest I have ever read.
I am very competitive. I play to win. I have fun while doing that. I like fun gametypes like Grifball and Living Dead but they should be in weekend playlists like they used to be in Halo 3.
Also, you will never make cash off of Halo. Get a job.

Really? Really?
That’s your argument. That’s the story you’re gonna go with? Because really?
It’s terrible and pretty much invalidates your entire post.
That said, your whole post constitutes flamebait and, as such, will now be closed to further comments. (And because it’ll make my life a whole hell of a lot easier since I won’t be putting out fires all night.) Please do not make threads like this again, thanks.
