CE was a fantastic game for many reasons

Being able to spawn kill a 15 point lead isn't one of them

 

Hey, if people get stuck in a spawn trap that's their fault for not breaking it lol

 

I wasn't specifically refering to spawn traps, but I can see how I put it would infer that.

Just spawning out in the open and being almost guaranteed a death is punishing the respawning player for something almost outwith his control, which is something I am not a fan of.

If the spawning was placed in such a way that avoided that more than CE does (on specific maps, some maps are worse for it than others) would be an improvement I believe

While I think CEs spawning was in theory the best spawn system, punishing a player for something outwith their control because of spawns placed in the open was a flaw with that game that could be avoided without hurting the teamplay that spawn system provides

 

Well you're only spawning in the open if your teammate lets you spawn there.

 

You can't break out of something if you can't take 3 steps without getting sniped, blasted, or 3-shot 15 times in a row.

Unless you either:

A: Duel your way out, which is hard because 90% of the time they have a height advantage.

Or B: You are quick enough to give your teamate a random, that is if you spawn near one.

 

With your line of logic Multi, I'd be surprised if you weren't a social darwinist to boot.

 

Once again. If you continue to spawn in a bad spot that's no one's fault but your partners.

 

I am not criticising the complete partner control of the spawn system, I think that is good.

I am criticising punishing a player who hasn't got any control over the situation by respawning them into an almost guaranteed death due to the individual placement of a spawn point

Having your team control your spawning is what I like about CEs spawning

Being able to spawn out in the open on a map like Hang Em High or Derelict and be cannon fodder I feel is a slight flaw, but for the most part a preventable one.

If the spawns were placed in such a way to avoid that issue, with map design to compliment it, it could be mitigated.

There are maps in CE that don't really have this "flaw", as they mitigate it very well already

I am simply saying that situations like these punish the respawning player, and could and should be mitigated.

 

halo 5 is decent, and will be good after the next update

 

Classic BR > H2 BR

 

Doomguy is a better character than Master Chief

 

Woah, take it easy there...

 

The Spartan laser isn't actually a well designed weapon for btb and would play better in 4's or 2's

Scripting in the MCC was more reliable than in Halo 5

 

Sword base was actually a decent map and with a few small modifications it would have been great.

Lockout is a mediocre map

Halo 3 had the best BR

I would be shocked if Halo 6 wasn't a hero shooter

 

you get an unpopular opinion, and you get an unpopular opinion everyone gets an unpopular opinion!

--- Double Post Merged, Dec 1, 2016 ---

I can't tell if that's an unpopular opinion, wishful thinking or both

 

Doesn't say a single word and still has better characterization than chief.

 

Might as well get these Reach opinions off my chest...

- Uncaged is a good map
- v7 Reach is better than v8 H3
- The community's sleek, even, pattern-like forging in most 1s, 2s, and 4s maps on HR is the best aesthetic I've seen so far
- I like Reach's gritty, military-like theme a lot and indeed fits in Halo

 

The Halo Reach campaign was not interesting, the encounters were anti-climactic, and the members of noble team lacked personality.

Overall it's a coin toss vs Halo 4 for worst game of the series

 

Flips coin, lands on edge....

 

Wind blows it over to Halo 4, we can watch the killcam to make sure.
