Re: Hey Wu...?

In Response To: Re: Hey Wu...? (Louis Wu) : I read it. As a theoretical discussion, it was a fine set of suggestions - : but I can't see any way they'd be implemented at this stage in Reach's : lifecycle, so it's not really relevant in the context of my lack of : interest. ;) : I've only got a few dozen Invasion games on my Reach record - but it's been : enough to show me that the game plays out the same way most of the time. : There aren't many alternatives for each stage - I haven't seen (or heard : about) clever options for capture or defense at any level. On offense, you : rush and try to gain time, on defense you try to keep people from getting : to the objective spots. There aren't sneaky routes you can take, there : aren't a huge variety of choices when thinking about how to attack (or : defend). All the games seem to play out much the same. : I don't know WHY this is - I don't find this to be true of Flag games, or : Bomb games, or any other objective games, really - it just is. Clearly, : not everyone feels this way. : Yeah, there's this. I haven't gone into the Invasion list alone very often, : however; I've won 27 of 31 games in the regular list (a FAR greater win : percentage than ANY other gametype), and the only way this could be true : is if I'd usually been playing with a team. So for me, I guess, even going : in not-alone isn't enough. : I enjoyed the games we played - but more for the company than the games : themselves. I was pretty Invasioned-out by the end of that evening; I : could happily go another few months without another one. ;) : Winning/losing doesn't really play into it - it's more about the feeling that : I'm locked into a role when I play, that I don't have real choices. To each their own. I would like to see more phases or more multi-point objectives in invasion myself, because your right, it does seem kinda bland in the way you describe. As for going more than one route....well that depends on the person and team really. Your definition of sneaky is different than mine. New maps would help its appeal, but we're not going to see any for Reach. Tomorrow for MM night I plan to split the parties and go into Anniversary slayer and objective. We've done a few straight weeks (if not months) of Invasion and I'd like to play more on the new maps. Details tomorrow, attend if you wish.
