I find it quite funny how some of you claim Halo 2 was "not a Halo" and that it's changes were bad. Halo 2 is was started off Halo into the profitable green-line that has lead us to a 7th installment of the game.
The needler in Halo 2 was just as annoying as it has been in every title. The rate of fire and tracking on the needler projectiles has never changed at all. Need to see the weapon data for the tags...I got that. As for the glitches about bounds glitching and super jumping, they were issues with the collision detection due to a not so 100% working modified Havok version 3.15. Those particular glitches were not easily detectable seeing as how they had no real beta process at the time. As for BXR or quad shooting, that was an issue with the codec used to play stored animations. By default animations using a #6 codec in Halo 2 should not have been able to have the animation sequence overidden. But because of a small 16 byte or so oversight, players could skipp it and what we got was the mess of a BR.
Seriously dude, read what you wrote. Do you think these types of code bugs are easily fixed? Do you really think core issues with code could ahve been fixed with a patch? If you know anything about the Blam! engine at all, or even bothered to watch the various VidOCS about halo 2, you would know that fixing those things would have required a completely new set of discs to be printed and shipped.
Now..on to the whole Halo Reach vs halo 4 aspect. Halo 4 was a failure in my eyes. Does that mean that i don't find a way to enjoy it...no. I have found various ways to enjoy the purchase I made. Does MM bother me at all with the playlists, loadouts, ordinance...not at all. In all the matches I have played, I have yet to be overpowered or spammed by ordinance or the Boltshot.
As for MLG catering, no. The loadouts and custom ability perks gives players 6 different ways to boost stats. Jet pack was not really nerfed at all. Yes, you may not be able to use it as long, but it is still effective for it's purpose.
Finally, for those who just like to spout off nonsense and call it facts, why don't you do yourself a favor and post up a video or something to prove your supposed facts? Oh that's right...most of you are too cool for school and don't have time to do it blah blah blah. Shut the **** up about things you have no clue about and only post **** that makes common sense or is fact. End rant.
