: But they also played those settings sitting down together in comfortable
: lans. The present day jackassary didn't occure with a smaller more
: intimate player base. If we were all forced onto the same battlefield on
: halo 1, and I, a lover of default settings was forced to play with you and
: your Human pistol starts would we come to the same impasse today?

Yes, there would be a problem for you. You would complain, just as the two Halo 2 groups are complaining now. But in Halo CE, the majority of gameplay was a AR/Pistol start, and the majority liked it. But if you didn't like the pistol, you had a CHOICE to play with others that liked what you liked. Only one group of Halo 2 players have a choice to play what they enjoy, matchmaking. Custom games are possible for the other group, but are not equal to matchmaking in ease of use, speed, or overall enjoyment. It's not fair nor fun to play with the same 5 or 10 people every game. Especcially in a competitive enviroment.

: Both games have flaws, Halo 2's get magnified thanks to the widespread
: playtime it gets.

: Char

Most of Halo 2's flaws are pointed out by the hardcore players. The same hardcore players of Halo CE. If the fanbase stayed the same from Halo CE to Halo 2, those same hardcore players would still be complaining just as much as they are now.

Most of the problems affect the hardcore players, most of the problems are the exact reversal of something that was seen in Halo CE.
