why Halo CE-3 and SC2 successful?

Competitive Gameplay

Why can’t 343i understand this? why are they following Halo Reach’s footsteps?

Simple changes that will make this game 100 times better

1-50 ranking similar to halo 3 - It’s been 3 years since we started begging for this!
Make BR > or equal to DMR, Spread =/= bloom (random), make the skill-weapon superior/even
Remove the Bolt Shot - Seriously, who thought of this?
Thruster Packs - Buff this AA a little or just remove it completely
Join Game - Just what the hell did you do this game?
Spawn with plasma grenades 2x - 3x? Again with WTH?!?!

You want to be successful like CoD?

Don’t imitate it.

facepalm

I remember when people like you thought Reach was good. No wonder Halo is currently a laughing stock at competitive game play and FPS in general.

I probably wont respond anymore, it makes me sad that people rather play games that are too noob friendly and will be forgotten after a couple months.

Halo CE-3 and starcraft lasted a long time for a reason.

5

SC 2 isn’t successful. At this very moment, there are less than 10,000 people on SC2. By this community’s own overly competitive and hyperbolic standards, that means the game is a massive flop.

Makes you sad? A complainer is sad?

drips your tears into a jar and closes the top

Your disappointing ranting and whining sustains me. hmmm =]

7

Halo =/= SC

SC is terribad. I’ve played it, and it’s so repetitive. Not that Halo can’t be repetitive, but it’s not like you can expect to get away with the same plan forever.

Why are we talking about Soul Caliber 2? It was a great game but super old :stuck_out_tongue:

Your acceptance and encouragment of the decline of Halo disturbs me.

SC2 is not successful? puahhahaha

Who care’s, Starctaft 2 takes WAY more skill than any Halo game ever has.

Only can agree on ranking system which they are working on. The rest can go to hell, finally the automatics are not worthless.

13

Look at the population. If 90,000 means Halo is dying then SC2’s 9,000 means SC2 is a massive failure.

14

Spawning with Plasmas. The new noob combo. I already have three times as many From the Grave and Stuck medals than I did in Reach which I played for years.

15

Why do people want a Halo 3 clone? They add whatever they want to Halo 4 or 5 as long as they give you an option to play the old way and they have for the most part so whats the problem? You don’t have to fight the bolt shot, JiP(was in CE PC BTW)or have Ordance drops. Take your *** to slayer pro or get your buddies together and play custom games and play classic slayer.

16

thrusters packs are actually really underrated.

17

SC II is a success as an E-sports or competitive gaming title strictly from viewers or spectators. It is a colossal failure in terms of player population. No one plays the game because guess what, players don’t want to play against similarly skilled players all the time. The down right truth is that most people would rather pwn than be pwned having “competition” which is basically why SC II is dead in terms of population.

18

Oh look a typical “this game are not competitive!” post. Like we haven’t had those before.

You need a number next to your name? Pointless crap. All it is is for bragging. As far as I know there is a trueskill system at work ALREADY so you’ll be matched up with similarly skilled players. The visual marker is not necessary and I wouldn’t want 343 to divert resources from IMPORTANT things (you know, like balance issues, bug fixes, etc etc) to enable a silly little number/symbol system.

> Remove the Bolt Shot - Seriously, who thought of this?

Hey let’s just cut out a feature just because we don’t like it. That’s the way to fix things…the lazy–Yoink- way.

> Thruster Packs - Buff this AA a little

I’m actually going to agree with this one. Thrusters don’t seem to move you that much at all and the recharge time is pretty long. In comparison to other Armor Abilities it doesn’t have much going for it.

Removing it completely is the lazy–Yoink- way to fix it though.

> Join Game - Just what the hell did you do this game?

Either we have joining in progress or suffer when team members quit. I’d rather have joining in progress.

However there has to be more fine tuning done, a cap during a match to when JiP is active. Get to a certain time or score amount and it should not let others join or something like that.

> Spawn with plasma grenades 2x - 3x? Again with WTH?!?!

Only issue I can really see with that would be in a vehicle playlist…and okay, that would probably suck. Again it could be tweaked so that you only spawn with one plasma much like the pulse grenades.

> SC 2 isn’t successful. At this very moment, there are less than 10,000 people on SC2. By this community’s own overly competitive and hyperbolic standards, that means the game is a massive flop.

Indeed…

Personally I’d take a Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War game over a Starcraft game any day of the week, far superior in my opinion as well as more complex.

You should’ve compared it to LoL. It makes me so angry that they get that much dev support and we have to wait for a good TU to come. Seriously, it feels like 343 has a huge disconnect with the community.

I grew up on the original SC, it’s an awesome series… so long as you don’t play online. Blizzard’s obsession with competition has turned SC2 into a sci fi game of rock paper scissors. Frankly it’s boring.

I haven’t played Warhammer 40k, I’ve always been a C&C/Total Annihilation/Homeworld kind of guy
