Re: I'm gonna rename you Chicken Little. | |

In Response To: Re: I'm gonna rename you Chicken Little. (Louis Wu) : What annoyed me about your post was the idea that beginners would start out : with ARs, and have to EARN their way to precision weapons. That particular : fear has been addressed DIRECTLY by Frank, Kiki, Josh Holmes, David Ellis, : and others. You will NOT be pitted against sniper-rifle-wielding experts : when you start playing Halo 4 - THAT'S what you suggested, and THAT'S what : I was telling you was ridiculous. Even so, the very idea of having to earn spartan points to unlock armor abilities and single player missions (which was explicitly stated as one of their uses), regardless of whether or not beginning players have a disadvantage or not, is still terrible game design and offensive to my sensibilities. The idea behind locking these things past arbitrary barriers, where the only way to pass them is to simply put in time, is bad because they are making the decision to waste your time, showing they have no respect for you, or for good game design. I fully believe that new players out the gate will be able to compete, but that is not the point. The point is the introduction of grinding mechanics.
