In Response To: Re: Hey Wu...? (RC Master) : Mouse-over 'articles' at the top, then 'Halo's Gametype Design Issues/fixes' : - you should get a pop-out with liks to each sections. Weird. I could have sworn I did that this morning. Guess I didn't. : Huh? In Neutral Flag you bring the Flag in the centre of the map back to your
lol - oops; somehow I got confused. I thought you were suggesting that you bring it to the opposing score point. (I guess I must have thought at some point that we were talking about Neutral Bomb, a game I play much more often than Neutral Flag.) Sorry. : Some of the objective games yes, but that doesn't mean it's fun to sit doing
But I rarely find myself doing nothing when I'm holding an oddball. Usually, I'm trying to get myself into a position where I can smack an opponent in the face with the ball. : Well no, you were clearly the better team since you won the gametype,
Hmm. Here, I guess, we disagree. I would say in most of these cases that we were NOT the better team; we simply played the objective better. To me, those are very distinct. [oddball]
Because it doesn't come up that often, and even when it does, I'm often the only one voting for it. One of the disadvantages to going into playlists alone, I guess. : But it's just like, you've won posession of the ball, you're giving up
What if the point of the game was running a bomb into an insta-arm location, so you're guaranteed to die if you arm it? Oh, wait, that's Grifball. (I'm totally good with that. :) ) : It might be more pronounced in Speedpile... but sometimes you can literally
Again - never seen it happen like that. Can't really comment on it since i have zero experience with that sort of gameplay. : Not mis-matched teams in this case, but more even teams. The 'only capture
But you based your premise (that Reach matchmaking sucks) on the possibility. It's like saying "sex with condoms sucks because the condom can break." Well, yeah, it can. Occasionally, it even does. I would argue very, very strongly, however, that those occurrences do NOT make the entire enterprise, taken as a whole, a bad thing. : I've definitely seen not bothering to capture heads in Multi-Team and FFA.
In both multiteam and FFA, you're competing against multiple opponents, rather than a single team. I'm sure you're right that SOME people in an FFA game and SOME teams in a multi-team game are not playing the objective - but plenty of other people ARE, so it's sort of irrelevant. Looking forward to seeing the positive parts of your series. :)
