    So, if single payer were a thing in America, only tax paying citizens can use it? Fair enough.

    Most people who have a disability either get a lot of help or are completely government dependant. I work with an autistic kid who has such a bad memory that it's like his first day every day, and he still got the same job as me through a work coaching program.

    Even the people who live in the worst areas still have free will. Yes, unfortunately the odds are stacked against some people more than others, but it's still all decision based in a meritocracy like ours.

    That questionnaire was terrible. So many question really miss the point. I feel like it was written by them. But based on it. I am an extreme authoritarian who is neither left or right.

    You can actually tell how each question will effect the results they are so blatantly polarized.

    I know. If I felt more comfortable talking about it. I would probably say some stuff, but as I have said before. I don't want to get jumped by antifa.

    Why are you so afraid of getting Tumbler shamed by SJWs who mooch off their parents and "open carry" with Airsoft guns?

    No not those ones. I am talking about the ones that kick your teeth in and beat you near death or to death. Do a little more research my friend.

    They are a small game studio subsidized by an international corporation. Making money is important. But I have often felt that their need to place their stamp of "improvement" on the Halo title is far more important than making money.

    They essentially transformed Halo into CoD with H4, but then midway through began serious backtracking in many ways that were readily available to them. This began to give me hope they learned... but only a glimmer.

    H5 demonstrated to me they had no concern for the bottom line. They had no concern for their base. They had no concern to make money.

    If they truly cared about making money then H6 would be a classic experience, because after two flops they would've left with only one question, "what if...?"

    Oh, you mean the ones that dress in hand-me-down black clothes and punch you in the back of the head, and then run away like a little *****?

    Yeah the ones that dress up as ****'s and perform false flag attacks to push their narrative and if they have your name they go to every place that you might work and attempt to keep you out of a job.

    Didn't know this was a political forum too. Anyone working on an AntiFa vs Literal Nazis gametype or map (I don't mean infection)? If anyone's down, I think we can make something special happen. :^)

    I just have to jump in here because I hate myself.

    Everyone has opinions, but you do not have to respect them. There are almost always clear objective truths.
    When we're talking about something as isolated as game design, it is easy to understand what works and what doesn't. You establish what makes something good, and list reasoning to support your argument.

    Clamber. You are locking yourself in an animation when you could just as easily jump and keep your player model 100% capable. Since it is the same speed, if not slower, why do it? Cause you can reach higher ground than a jump, right? Well why not just make the jump height the correct value? Well, the new players seem to think that if your eyes can reach the floor you earned that spot. But did you? In classic play, you had to position yourself in the correct spot to scale the map. Vertical gameplay was dictated by the map design. In other words, you had to earn your positioning, and you were rewarded by getting to your destination. With clamber, you can just climb anything from anywhere, which instantly dumbs down the gameplay and removes depth. Why take the ramp when I can just climb? The actually geometry means exponentially less when you can just clamber up over anything. This means that I cannot punish people for their positioning themselves in a bad spot, because they can rely on their abilities as a safety net.

    Risk vs Reward is essentially making a bad play, and having it work out in your favor. I think that is stupid when you can ALWAYS have things work out in your favor by doing the RIGHT thing in any given situation. This applies to every single spartan ability.

    Halo doesn't need sprint whether you like it or not. Even if EVERYBODY liked it, it would still not have a place in the game. You click a button to move faster, but in return you can't shoot. Balanced, right? Well why the hell is it there in the first place? You are going to get a more interesting encounter 100% of the time if both players are moving at the same speed, and capable of shooting at the same time. This isn't an opinion, it is fact. There is nothing interesting about shooting a person who sprinted past a doorway, because at that point the encounter resets. The entire reason Halo has had fair start matches was because it put everyone on an equal playing field, and the better player would be victorious. That is why everyone hated Reach and H4, because it removed the equal playing field. Now how do we make sprint fair? Give it to everyone. Okay, but then people were just running away from encounters the second they started losing. Instead of removing it, 343 said let's make it so your shields don't recharge. The very fact that this band-aid fix was implemented meant that sprint wasn't balanced, and they attempted to nerf it. But then you have slide (which is meaningless in Halo) and spartan charge (which is an extended, more powerful melee) that directly buff sprinting, which incentives people to use it more often. Now just because you can't shoot while sprinting doesn't make it balanced, it is still inherently flawed. So what happens if EVERYBODY can sprint AND shoot at the same time?
    You have completely diminished the purpose of sprint in the first place, and the game would function the exact same if it had never been there at all, only now you don't have to mandatorily click a button after you spawn.

    SO, if sprint is inherently flawed, why spend time trying to balance it, when the game performs optimally without the mechanic in the first place!?

    This isn't opinionated. If you truly believe that sprinting belongs in the game, it means you are intentionally playing the game poorly. Not to mention level design has to accommodate abilities. This means you get stretched out scaling, and awkward pathing. If there is any example at all that proves that, it is H5 Truth. I mean, you don't even have to go to the towers anymore, you can just jump straight and clamber to top middle. That is awful level design.

    Also, stabilize is stupid, okay? suspending you in midair doesn't matter, because the second you get shot, you drop. Whats more competitive, jumping across a gap and snapshotting, or freezing your player in mid air to land the shot. And the second you get knocked out (if you do) you have a thruster to clear the rest of the gap anyway. You tell me which takes more skill.


    This is what separates the boys from the men. Now imagine if he had just jumped and stabilized, and how literally nobody would care at all. There are tons of examples like this for why abilities dumb down gameplay. They don't belong in the game no matter how you try to justify them. Make Halo classic again, and maybe HCS would be fun to watch.
