Why I can't stand Reach ANY MORE. (Worst game ever!)

Games Other Halo
1

I was playing BTB today, and the instant the game starts, some special jumps in the wraith and starts ramming everyone over. So I (And everyone else) starts shooting at them so we can get betrayed and boot them to stop them dragging the team down.

We get him booted, but then somebody else who was trying to defend him starts having a go, so he betrays and gets gooted too. Then another person is booted, and then two more quit.

Now there’s only me and two people left. One of them was AFC, but he would miraculously spring into action if we hit him. So we all hid in a cave the entire match, and, well… just see for yourself.

Also, as you may guess from the video, the sniper/revenant no-scoping can suck it. Hard.

Here’s the link…

P.S.

When I say ‘Worst game ever!’ I mean the game of BTB in the link. Reach is… can be enjoyable…

Games like these are commonplace. But they are not at all exclusive to Reach. Griefers plague all online multiplayer games.

However I do admit, the various gameplay issues with Reach do tend to exacerbate the problem and make it especially miserable.

Play some Action Sack, you’ll feel better. :slight_smile:

Thats just one reason why i left for over 6 months. I just played threegames today and one of them did have a teammate being a tool. Is this still a major issue in Reach?

5

People who betray, are AFC or are just bullet sponges for the other team are common. It is highly frustrating playing with randoms because I can never really be allowed to have a bad game.

RARELY am I on a team where we dominate the other team. Most of the time, I have to pull out a 15-20 kill game just to have a chance at winning. So when I do have a bad game, and we all do, you can guarantee that it will be a loss or we barely beat them.

Sucks but it is what it is.

Reach has been out for a good long while so im sure the numbers of players isnt as big as other games. I am really hoping that Halo 4 will have a compleatly differnt multiplayer set up.

7

I hate it when people do that. Why betray people? Its not fun its not enjoyable and it ticks everybody off.

8

That’s why I hate Hemmorhage, its to open, and if everybody doesn’t play, then your screwed. I perfer Boneyard or Spire because of all the cover and places to hid if things go bad.

Uhh, why not quit?

10

In this case its the people, not the game. But the booting system is flawed yes. I betray someone accidentally ONCE and i get booted. Someone betrays me TWO OR THREE times and i still dont get the option to boot.

But the boot system has never been perfect and it never will be. You can only make it a little less worse and unfair, you cant get away from griefers because sadly, they are a part of the gaming industry.

I’m not sure why you even stayed in that match. The moment hemorrhage gets voted I quit and find a better map.

Um…welcome to the world of social unranked gameplay???

The worst game ever is ET for the Atari. I own a working copy =)

Reach is one of the best games ever made.

social unranked?

if it was ranked it would be the same situation but they would be called derankers.

the problem is youre searching without a team.

Yes but theres several ways to fix derankers.

Allow a option to derank at will, in a menu or something.

Or

Make it to where amount of exp in the playlist doesnt effect Skill Level progression in it.

Or both.

You should always search with a team. That is obvious.

Derankers and griefers are two different things. As far as I see it there are much more griefers than there ever were derankers in ranked.

EXP had nothing to do with deranking in Halo 3.

It was simply a side effect.

That Halo LMFAO

true, you got me there.
griefers definately out number derankers, you dont need a lot of motivation to be a griefer.

And lets be honest. Griefing is a way to have fun that really has little to no consequence.

Both griefers and derankers are a holes.

But you are right just play on a team, makes both problems disappear.
