I adapted to this game a long time ago.
I should not have to adapt to MOST of these things, (Camo/sprint at the same time)

People who thought of themselves, or think of themselves as GOOD PLAYERS are narcissistic. They act like everyone around them is beneath them. It’s annoying.

> Narcissism? They make mute buttons for stuff like that and that’s not a good enough reason to make an almost all competitive game become an almost all casual game.

And what makes you think that any game developer should cater to a “competitive” crowd? Aren’t video games with multiplayers inherently competitive enough? Reach can be competitive, you guys are just looking for the worthless self gratification of seeing a numerical representation of how good you are next to your name. And even then, it won’t accurately measure a player such as yourself. Like I said before, your a really good player, so why should a system stop at 50? But that’s what you guys want. And then you guys will flood all of matchmaking with your sigs, and your screenshots, and you will talk down to people on forums, and rub in your magical rank in their faces, effortlessly trolling for the sake of adding to your narcissistic tendancies.

No, I think the direction 343 is going is good. And I don’t think a game that isn’t out yet can actually cater to “casuals”, because the game isn’t out yet. It’s not in a finished state, therefore, it only caters to the developers needs.
Your counting your chickens before they are hatched bro. You and a lot of other people are letting some kind of mistaken fear, and allowing it to overcome your statements and thought process. It’s really annoying how “competitive” players who can think and strategise with such cunning can become completely deluded by false pretenses.

And what if Halo doesn’t conform to your preconceived notions of how it should be? what then? Will you “quit” halo and go play CoD? The overwhelming amount of whiners on this forum talk so negatively about other titles, yet if they were faced with a Halo that doesn’t live up to their standards, would they go off and play the titles that they so vehemently admonish in public, and become raging narcissistic hypocrites?

The answer is no. You will buy the game. You will perform like you have for the last ten years in Halo, and nothing, not armor abilities, not loadouts, not instant respawns, not random power weapon drops, NOTHING, will change that.

The pro’s will remain pro’s, casuals will still crack some beers with their friends on the weekend and have a good time regardless of whether they win or not, and the uber competitive players who are out to prove something will continue to try and prove something.

Nothing will change. Halo 4 will sell like crazy. The series will live on.

I rest my case.

ADAPT!

Agreed, if you don’t want to adapt, don’t buy the game, 343i is making the game for everyone, not for just one damn person/group. But hey, like I said, if you’re too damn lazy to adapt, then don’t buy the game. Skilled players adapt, thus, you “competitive” players should adapt or you’re nothing but players of habit.

Change is good, nobody wants the exact same thing year after year. BUT I still want to play a game worthy of the same title, I still want to play a game that is worthy of the name Halo. That means make changes, make additions and adjustments, but it should still have the same feel. Halo 4 looks like its being re-imagined with an all new gameplay style, but its not a new gameplay style, in fact its the most commonly used gameplay style most popularized by COD so everyone’s always comparing it to COD as a symbol for the basic generic shooter. A lot of people play Halo because its different, and more enjoyable then the other generic shooters, that probably wont be the case any more. There is no real adapting, you’ve already seen this stuff. Halo1-3 all had changes, they had added features that made the original feel better, they didn’t completely change the game, they made it better. Halo4 being the first of a new trilogy, I can understand why they’d make more changes then usual, but this seems like its just to much. These changes aren’t new, they come straight from the other more generic titles.

And what, preytel, is it that sets you apart from everyone else? And how can you have adapted to a game that is still months away? Your no more special than anyone else, we all have to adapt to the new games, your no different.

68

Honestly There is not much adapting to do if it has elements from all the games even reach. The “random” weapon spawns and the instant re spawns are the real change. Who knows if Jetty got nerfed or if you can actually exploit the new maps with it? I have to see the gameplay with the jetpack to know if it can break maps. Dont tell me to look at reach because I know what it does to those terrible maps.

By “this” game i meant Reach, lol.

> Or you could simply… adapt.

Starters I like A LOT of what I’m hearing about Halo 4. It has me excited.

But like many of the people on here, I’m tired of hearing people complain about the changes. What bothers me even worse, the lame comeback that is WAAAAY OVERUSED. The infamous, “just adapt”.

I’m tired of hearing that lame statement.

Let me explain why it is dumb. “Just adapt”

Ok, what if the game is no longer fun and ruined. Recent example, Battlefield 3. The update ruined that game and I played it tons. All they had to do was patch the 2 god guns in that game or just flat out remove them and all been great. Nope. They tinkered and changed way too much.

Reach the title update I think is fail also. Just needed to fix armor lock to take decent amount of damage and would have been good. I was one of the people that did not mind bloom at all. I could live with it. Once again, update tinkered with too much and not as fun.

How can you “just adapt” to something that is no longer fun? I have not played BF3 since update and came back to Reach just to have a shooter to play.

I left Reach for something else cause the Title Update was fail, at least for me. Others would argue much better game. I’m ok with that. But obvious when looking at game population where people are playing.

So people try to think of something better then “just adapt”. Its lame and honestly just as pointless as the negative posts about Halo 4.

Ok. My long rant is done. If not like reading it, well … “just adapt” lol :slight_smile:

Lol I honestly think that the jetpack alone will break any map.

If your going to attempt a legitimate argument please be specific, otherwise your just blatantly trolling

Well if you must know i go out of my way not to comment on what you post because you’re so wrong on so many levels.

74

I love how the large majority of this forum hates those who make negative judgements before the game is released, but simultaneously makes their own positive judgements before the game is released.

Are they not essentially the same? Both “sides” judge without substantial evidence, but only one is told not to formulate an opinion on what they have seen so far.

Oh so then there is something that sets you apart from the rest of the community? Please share, we’re all dying to bask in your greatness oh special one. Seriously mans, you and the rest of the competitive community need to get over yourselves

Seriously? Reported for voicing his opinions? I realize that you all feel fed up and annoyed with the current situation on the forums, but you could certainly do it in a more mature manner. Everyone that’s ‘fed up’ is suddenly becoming far more immature than the very people there bashing. Learn to adapt to the new forum without breaking the rules, or I would be deeply appreciative if you would refrain from speaking… Those are your opinions, the blind hate that you’re currently spewing is neither productive or informed and the majority of the community would appreciate it if you took your maturity elsewhere. I speak for myself, but I’m sure others would agree.

This for example.
You’re telling me to adapt and learn to play by “new” rules and it’s silly because:
I will adapt much faster then you at Halo 4
I have adapted much faster then you at Halo Reach
I’m a lot better then you at Halo in general so you telling me to adapt is just silly
And i know all of this just by what you post, i don’t even have to see you play.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that, too. It’s very hypocritical.

I’ve brought this up before. The responses are all the same.
