The Bore does what NeoGAF doesn't.

[Gigan]

All of this shit is so embarrassing.  Makes me wonder how I tolerated GAF for as long as I did.  Behind the scenes PMs to gang up to get people banned?  Jesus.  Made up stories about racist girlfriends to suck up to the BCT?  Pathetic.

People trying to get other people banned from GAF is some pathetic shit.

Get a life.

I agree. What I got involved in was stupid and a huge waste of energy. I dunno if he saw it, but I eventually apologized to Seanspeed for trying to bait him into getting perm'd. He had some weird posts but I really had to dig to get gaffers riled up against him when his biggest crime was somewhat questionable opinions that went against the status quo. I had my GAF account since '05 and liked being around the forum all that time, until late 2014 when I got fed up and got banned several times, then early 2015 when I did my little account suicide. I saw no point in continuing to act like a fool and didn't see it as a big loss to no longer have an account on a site that was going to shit and that I had helped turn to shit in a way.

Hardcore Dark Souls/Bloodborne fans are the most annoying thing currently going in gaming. They just can't believe anytime their game isn't goty.

They feel the compulsive need to insert themselves into any conversation about any other game.

Least Halo hardcores gave up the ghost when the game became CoD Lite.

[mormapope]

Halo was stagnant since Halo 3. Halo 3 multiplayer is awful, single player is great with a couple terrible levels throughout. Halo Reach has awful single player and awful multiplayer.   

Halo 4 felt fantastic to play, but the class shit was terrible, and the killstreak option of dropping in weapons or a buff was terrible. Halo 5 is seemingly great but not that many people care about Halo anymore.

Even if mistakes weren't made, Halo's popularity dwindling overtime was a given, with how each game doesn't change that much. Halo needed to become Battlefield, large scale battles, 32 vs. 32, more vehicle variety. Instead its been the same thing since Halo 1 when it comes to design.

Bungie's design philosophy is also fucking stupid, always has been after Halo 1. So much pussyfooting when it came to the game's speed, the damage weapons do and how they handle, vehicle damage and how vehicles handle. Their work on Halo was always a mish mash of ideas that either worked or were terrible.

I think Halo is simply less accessible than other shooters. That was fine when the market was less deep but it becomes a problem when there are more accessible shooters and the market is saturated.

That being said i think Halo 5 is the best mp halo game in a long time.

I think older Halo was actually more accessible, there wasn't a bunch of shit to factor in for encounters, weapons all on the map so you could get them and no AL.

Modern gamers don't want that. They want a bunch of unlocks. They want tons of weapons. They want ADS. etc. Basically pretty much everything COD does. Halo is still an off shoot of the arena shooter. And in this day and age on consoles more people want the type of game that COD is versus what Halo is. Doesn't make one better than the other. But its pretty clear where popular tastes lie.

You could make the best Halo game on the planet. And if it continues to play like traditional Halo its not going to be as popular as COD. COD is easier for the average person to pick up and have a decent game with. When you first pick up Halo, you will get wrecked if you are put against decent people.

Tastes change based on time and the evolution of the genre. Not that I always like where it evolves.

I mean that's a balance thing. You could rebalance it however you want but ultimately that's not going to move the needle imo. Halo is simply harder to pick up no matter how you slice it. Its based around headshots. And the most popular weapons and best weapons are not the full auto weapons. That alone places it beyond the average skill level of a cod player.

None of this is said to hate on COD. I love COD. But COD isn't about skillfull play on the same level as Halo. You can play most current console shooters post cod and pretty much be on the same level. The skills transfer. They don't transfer remotely as well to Halo because the game came out of a pre-cod evolutionary path.

True, you gotta know where weapons spawn, know maps, how to force spawns, bloom timing along with headshotting. CoD you can just run around like your ass is on fire and get something out of it.

Halo is inconsistent as fuck as a multiplayer series. Picking up and playing any Halo game means getting used to what works and what bullshit that'll get lobbed at you. Call of Duty has been a consistent series when it comes to that, with the outliers getting a ton of shit (CoD Ghost for example).

Not many competitive games are like that. Someone that played a ton of Counter Strike Source will be competent at Global Offensive. Someone that played a lot of Bad Company will be competent at Battlefield 4.

The accessibility isn't there, not because Halo dramatically changed all that much design wise, but nothing was ever consistent across the board.

Halo's sandbox kept changing as well as getting rid of stuff and bringing it back. Their biggest mistake was placement of weaponry on a map. In the older halos you gotta get in a vulnerable position to get a power weapon. Future Halo decision making scratched this, added in classes, ordinances, armor abilities and suddenly the game where you pick stuff up on the field was now something you access from the character select screen. I get why they did it but they were just throwing their fanbase to a game that does it better.

[mormapope]

Shit, a pistol from the first four Halo games is completely different in each of those games. Why? Either have a overpowered, fun gun from Halo 1. Or make it fast as fuck and a close range weapon like in Halo 2. The handgun in Halo 3 and Reach is useless.

Bungie is terrible at making decisions with their games. I'm playing Destiny right now, and a ton of shit is extremely questionable when it comes to PvP.

Should have kept the pistol from the first game tbh, great to spawn with and it forces people to actually be good with power weapons because you can fend them off to an extent. Future games it was just getting sniped/beamed from people who knew the map well and spawning with SMG on Burial Mounds trying to fend off long range weapons. Ugh, nightmares.

I just want to play something like Halo 2 again.

I just want no leveling or customizable loadouts. Spawn with set weapons and then try to control the pick up weapons on the map.

I also want actual big maps and I want to be able to just play what I want. If I just want to to play big team battle CTF then let me. The reason I drop most Halo's after two is not because they keep adding stupid things. It's because I simply can not play what I actually want with these games.

[Shadow Mod]

I loved Big Team because I could play however I wanted to and still assist the team.

Wanna snipe? Ok.
Some other douche got snipe? Okay go steal theirs.
Not successful with that get in ghost and run over flag or bomb carriers.

Dominicans' concept of race, racism, nationality and skin color is completely different from Americans too, which throws Americans for a loop when all our actions don't neatly fit into their preconceived American-centric notions and history. I tried explaining it to BCTers to no avail since they only understood shit from their POV.

something off about this thread, bet the gf was racist too but she's putting out so he just dealt with it 

There's a long history of wack black GAFers who put up with racist gfs. See: Jado, harSon. 

You're such a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow. You bring this up any chance you can for a cheap laugh which is fine, but you keep pushing the black guy with racist white girl narrative when you've been told and very well know I'm not black and my GF is not white. We're both Hispanic --always said so and even started the Hispanic OT, dunno why people have insisted otherwise-- and you even asked how hot she was as a hispanic girl.

And I never denied the situation, just that I overstated what happened for the sake of the BCT thread. "All the time" was two separate arguments during a rough patch where we both said really nasty things to each other and later apologized for how we both behaved and moved on. I told this to the neofagers, besada in pm, and an overemotional pack of former BCTers on Slaent. But I guess it's more fun to push the fabricated "lol whipped black gaffer desperate for white pussy" angle when it's actually two Hispanic people who have been together for 9 years.
