Re: Why is everyone killing this guy???

In Response To: Why is everyone killing this guy??? (cardo 8 atl)


: It's a GAME. Everyone in Halo starts out on even ground.

This is all, very, very true at the end of the day.

: This reminds me of people complaining that a rocket launcher is in the hands
: of a particular person throughout a game. Why in the hell would I let the
: rockets sit there for someone else to pick up and kill me with? That's not
: smart Halo.

Again, true, and I see where you are coming from with this.

: In his video, there is no exploitation. There is no modding. There is no
: manipulation.

This I flat out disagree with. There is exploitation, of the spawning system. There is manipulation, of the spawning system. By manipulating the game to push everyone into locked spawns, you are exploiting the other team into spawning in a cycle that they cannot hope to break, regardless of skill.

Again, shooting fish in a barrel.

: If there is anything that Eli is guilty of, it's not having a large enough
: pool of skill players to play against in BTB in Reach. He paid for the
: game just like we all did. Why should he play under his abilities?

That's not what most of us here have a problem with. You can argue that he is better skilled, but I will disagree every time. Without the support of his team in this situation, he can't spawn kill/trap them forever, so its not like he did it on his own. Secondly, once they are trapped, it does not take any skill to keep looping the banshee over and over and over, racking up kills, letting your teammates pick off any stragglers while you boost to safety when you've actually taken damage.

He's not better. That is not skill.

What I (and I will *guess*) most others have a problem with is the arrogance of it all. I don't come here to see someone I want to avoid in MM. Someone that plays to such bad, bad taste.

I don't come here to watch other people get shit on in a game that don't deserve it.

I don't come here to listen to people brag about the above, and then insult me(us) for having the common decency to maybe tone it back, and let others enjoy the game.

I love HBO, because of the members here. We play for fun, we don't grief anyone like this. We might mess with each other, but never to this scale. There will be games like this sometimes, but we don't advertise it if we steamroll someone like this. People like this, that have stats like this, do this over and over and over ON PURPOSE. They enjoy doing it. They like going in with a full party, getting matched with randoms, and voting for the same game type repeatedly so they can do the same thing the whole time they play.

You can loose and still have fun.

That's not what happened in that game.
That's not what he came here to show.
We aren't proud of being dicks in MM.
And that's not HBO.
