Halo: Reach Discussion

[Pooky]

Since when is multilayer gaming about being the best? The only reason Halo has a "competitive" aura around it is because of MLG faggots that don't know how to play a game for fun. And what's wrong with everyone being as good as everyone else? The game is boring as fuck when you're severely outclassed by who you're playing against.

Whenever you go into a non cooperative multiplayer game, like it or not, you are competing with the other players. Whether you go into the game just trying to have fun, or determined to win, the experience is still fundamentally competitive.

If you're getting matched up against people who completely outclass you, the solution is to get better. The entire point of the matchmaking system is to prevent lopsided matches, but they're still going to happen regardless.

Right now, none of that matters. If you can camp with heavy weapons and double melee, you can win at small team infantry games on Reach. There's no incentive to improve, and so competitive multiplayer on these maps is largely pointless. Big team multiplayer does have much better gameplay, but it's still heavily flawed.
