Re: My Thoughts on the Halo Series

In Response To: Re: My Thoughts on the Halo Series (TalkingElmo)

: ** Where balance means no cheap exploits (like getting a lead and playing
: keep away for an hour, or getting both snipers on Zanzibar TS and setting
: up camp on the beach). Balance doesn't mean flattening the learning curve
: so that beginners can hang with seasoned vets. Basketball is a balanced
: game, even though Kobe and Shaq would own the players at the local gym 10
: times out of 10.

I realize you're making a point... but you're exaggerating a LOT.

I guarantee you that the Ogres and TSquared (the Kobes and Shaqs of the Halo world) would own levels 10s and 15s (the Halo equivalent of players at the local gym) 10 times out of 10.

Bungie.net says I'm a 24 - but in reality, I'm somewhere around a 18, I'd guess. (I play with people better than I am, and my rank gets pulled up accordingly.) I get owned 8 or 9 times out of 10 when I play with level 30s.

And that's the way it should be.

You're suggesting I've got a chance of winning 5 games against them (or against people better than them) - I don't. It's flatter than it was when the pistol ruled, yeah... but not NEARLY as flat as you're suggesting it is.
