In Response To: Re: Frankie's Back. With an update ;-) (ghost faction)


: Except in this scenario you're saying everyone gets to play football and
: baseball isn't given a chance.

How so?

The first scenario is an unmoderated free-for-all. Each individual chooses what to play individually, even though the predictable result for such a process may be that neither game has enough participants to be viable. This is roughly analogous to individual game servers the way traditional PC gaming worked, or to taking a single base of players, like fans of Halo, and giving them multiple incompatible choices for competitive multiplayer within the same release cycle-- like launching unique Halo Anniversary competitive multiplayer on XBL only one year after the release of Reach. They've never done that before. The other releases that came on a shorter release cycle (Halo Wars and ODST) were either completely different games in a different genre, or used the compatible competitive multiplayer from the existing Halo title (the way ODST MP was Halo 3 MP).

The latter scenario is the way it's been kept to date: Every 3 years a new Halo competitive MP release comes out, and the entire playerbase plays within it. They choose playlists where they cannot choose map and game variations, but are on a randomized selection.

Producing a separate, incompatible multiplayer title within a single year weakens the playlists of Reach by reducing the available player count, while providing a benefit only to a minority of players-- purists who want competitive H1 XBL multi.

Even though baseball paved the way for
: games like football to be made.

... what?
