Not entirely sure what your point is. Mine is that people are just reacting to what info and screens they have, not what they may or may not have at some point in the future.
My immediate response to this is rather harsh on 343, whom I admire those that I know of.
... no, I really don't think so. Unless people are that uncomfortable with certain opinions.
Yep. And even if unlocks are balanced in the sense that no unlock becomes THE go to weapon or item in comparison to others, its still an advantage. And its an advantage given to players who have already spent more time in-game which just compounds that advantage.
That's essentially my outlook on it. Unlike some other games (where people might have things you can't get yet), at least in Reach you know that if someone is kickin' your ass using camo, that you have the choice go choose it too to take them on with what they're using. There's been a bunch of matches where I'll say ¨Fuck it, I'm using jetpack too then¨. I get that people dislike the rock, paper, scissors element of the gameplay though. I never found it off-putting, but that's just my opinion
How do you know Camo or Jetpack isn't unlocked later on?That's essentially my outlook on it.

I'm down with this. Obviously tight gun-play and physics are included. Other than that, I don't know what else would define Halo unless we start talking about campaign. I think Halo had a system, and armor abilities broke that system. If Halo had been on its last leg, perhaps a change could be justified. But it again comes down to developers wanting to change the game simply for the sake of changing the game, which I'll never agree with, ever.
Oh I was only referring to Reach. I'm not sure how stuff will work in 4 yet (obviously)
I think "pretty good" balance is the best you could hope for, but I still think any aspect of the shooter repertoire unlocked is still an advantage. At the very least it gives the higher level more player more options to tune their loadout to their style whereas lower level players just have to make due.
I'd like to turn this around and get you to answer this question actually.
Every time I see footage of that map I have the feeling the lighting is going to be really annoying. On pretty much every screenshot it looks like the sky is filled with hundreds of BF3 flashlights.
This. So much of this.
I don't really get that from the direct footage.
No need to get defensive, I was genuinely curious about how active he might've been in online Halo, his most played playlists, etc.
One unlockable armor ability will be sunglasses.
Yeah, I can't really disagree with any of that. You make a good point
I guess I just don't mind altering my play style when I feel I need to. I generally try to switch it up based on what way the other team is playing. Although I almost always pick hologram on Countdown, shit's hilarious you may joke but bf3 needed this so bad

This map reminds me of Assembly, with Narrows' aesthetic except with more annoying lighting and places for nades to get stuck on.
But hey, it's still about 14 trillion times better than the other revealed map which was described by BS Angel like this
Good post, just wanted to hear you say it.
*shrug* No more credible than any other.
