Oh, wait.

Because everyone with a different opinion should be banned /waypoint logic
What is this whole argument about, anyways?
By this same logic, if the populace wanted Halo 1 multiplayer again, Anniversary Classic would be clowning Team Slayer in population right now.
tawppy, you just responded to him. you lost the game.
and it's not about differing opinions, it's about you being a bag of douche.
your avatar sucks
edit: is my post ironic enough? i don't know.
anyways yeah, basically, reverence, you won't know until you play it or they reveal more, so just sit on your hands and deal with it like the rest of us. There's no point in saying "wow i don't know what i'm talking about so therefore a/b/c is gonna be x/y/z" because literally everyone will just be like
if this isn't the case
then why is it the case???
man, maybe people are just fucking sick of halo, and they think it's shit compared to whatever other games they're playing. shit happens, people's tastes change. I know mine sure have. the only thing that the evidence shows is that halo is not as popular as it used to be. it doesn't say that halo is less popular because they added jetpacks, it doesn't say it's less popular because they added the DMR or bloom. it's just less popular.

Trends do change.
They don't change to the point where a yearly sports title is played more than Halo.
I just don't get it.
The evidence clearly shows people don't want change so why does everyone continue to act like halo needs to change?
And I realized my mistake. I was about to post something else in retaliation but I posted the ignore thing instead.
It kind of slingshotted around a few of the usual arguments but his major beef seems to be with -- in his opinion of course -- a lack of initiative on 343's part to properly address the high tier players in the meta.
...Have you read any posts here other than your own? There are so, so many people here that are skeptical of Halo 4, myself included. Many of us are worried about how these new changes may reduce the "skill gap", thus affecting the integrity of the game.
The difference is that these people present their concerns in a logical manner, not solely for the purpose of soliciting a reaction. God, even kyle, probably the most vocal critic of what he's seen of Halo 4 makes some good points. All your posts have been "here's my opinion, no point in arguing. I've been around the block with my mad Halo skills."
Also, I figure I should stop shitting up the thread as well with posts like these. I'll take Tawp's advice and put you on ignore, I guess.

Last I checked, anniversary settings are nothing like Halo:CE.
No, a 3sk pistol =/= Halo:CE.
Every country that has the money in the world has a soccer team. Why wouldn't FIFA be up there?
This is the same shit I ran into on Optimatch. "Well, your playlist is there" "BU BU IT'S NOT ACTUALLY IT"
Anniversary Classic is 3SK pistol with CE-style walk speed, jump height, damage, and bleed through. I don't know how more Halo 1 you can get.

didnt it start because he wanted1 more bullet in the dmr?
don't wanna throw the forum OT, so if anyone wants to talk about new muse right now... http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=477247&page=4
they could have just made halo 1 online, IDIOT. THAT'S how it could have been more Halo 1. DUH. DUMMY. CMON. THINK. GOSHHHHH
Not a fan of this song. /museclassic
But at least its the only dubstep song on the album.
Because it's a niche.
Yes TAG, that does seem to be the light for the fuse. Came out of nowhere.
Make it offline only. Preserve authenticity. The definitive Halo by the people who won't stop remaking Combat Evolved.

I JUST TEXTED YOU ABOUT IT I'M FREAKING OUT BECAUSE I LOVE IT AND I JUST WATCHED SIGLEMIC AND NOW I'M WATCHING THE NEWSROOM AND IT'S ALL JUST TOO MUCH
Then why do you seem to think a 4sk BR will bring back the glory days of Halo 3?

It isn't the case.
Reach is not Halo. It changed far too much and people stopped playing it.
Look at the early sales of Reach when people thought it was going to be a new Halo.
Other than the 3sk, the pistol behaves nothing like the one in CE. It's an inconsistent mess with a shallow clip.
Other than that, there's many important aspects of CE's gameplay that are absent in Anni Classic. The player spawn system, the weapon/item spawn system, the strafe, the momentum melees, plasma freeze, nades, etc. It's a completely different game.

Firefight Thursdays, oh how I missed thee. Its been too long.
It is certainly Halo.
Well obviously its not going to be the same its on a different game
Reach's online population actually trended upwards. So more people started playing it than before.
Reach wasn't a failure, financially or population wise.
But... it is Halo.
It says so right on the box.
In fact, that's why I bought it.
But in a serious response, Halo 3 was falling in the charts long before Reach was even announced (specifically the CoD4 and MW2, if I remember correctly). No one left because of Reach. They left because of Battlefield 3, Black Ops and FIFA. People have different tastes. Hell, there are different people. Just because your tastes haven't changed doesn't mean that no one elses have changed.

H A L O

R E A C H

There are more weapons in Halo:CE than just the pistol
Please do quote me.
Oh, wait, I never claimed that. Hell, I don't even want that. Apparently I'm the only one who wants balance and a 5sk BR is not balanced.
Look man I played Halo with some of the best players so I know what Halo is.
So you want a 4sk BR? Which is what his assertion of your assertion was which you assert you weren't asserting.
Perhaps not relative to prior Halo games, but you quite literally cannot say that about Halo 4 without knowing a lot more particulars.
5sk isn't inherently unbalanced.
we're in the middle of a junior meltdown. i'd happily welcome three of you any day.

and how the fuck do you know that?
How is it unbalanced? Explain. There's spread and firing rate to consider. For all you know, the BR will be 5 shot but kill in the same time as a 4 shot in 2 or 3.

What... haha
So you don't want a 4sk BR but 5sk BR isn't balanced? I think you're confusing yourself now.
You see this right here? This single sentence is why people don't like you. It's not because you have opinions. It's because you make assumptions about things you do not know and claim superiority over people who refuse to make the same leap in logic.
