Your statement of Every map requires a different set of abilities is not true. they use the same except in the case of chillout where at least 2 thirds of the map is used and the best players will use all of it.

The rules we add don't necessarily take away from the different skill sets required to be successful, it just accentuates them, the obvious and the secondary.

Take the 3 maps you singled out. (I'm going to assume you're lumping these into a pistoling category.) All three are very based in mid/long range pistoling, you'll get no argument from me on that, but all three also require different secondary skills. (The ones you should be using if you're at a ping or shooting disadvantage.)

Ratrace: Nades, pacing, nades, nades, and nading. If you have high ping the last place on the map you want to be is where all the shooting happens. Staying near the frag nades and wearing them down is the best strat. A RR game should never end because someone gets to 50, you're best bet is to keep it a low scoring game.

Derelict: Spawn points and sniper control. When the other team takes top the correct course of action is go get your teamate a spawn point out of harms way. (Should be practiced whether you have top or not, Der spawn points are some of the easiest to predict.) The best chance of taking the top is when both of you are alive. Isolate one of them into a 2v1 situation and grab or nade the sniper away, it'll make the map a whole lot easier.

Hangemhigh: Stealth. Regardless if you're playing pups or not, this map is based on being able to sneak up on or flank the people holding top. A distraction from your teamate or some well placed nades usually do the trick.

If you want to be technical, then yes you're right, you should use every skill on every map. But the point I was trying to make was that every map has a certain skill or two that are more useful because of the way the map is layed out. Halo is actually a great game to play competitively, there's a reason all the powerups and heavy weapons are low or in hard to reach places with little cover, they offset the shooting advantage of the top. Since we normally outlaw the use of them, there's nothing else to do except pistol each other. Don't blame the game for rules we've made that pretty much restrict all but basic strategy and accentuate shooting on every single map.

Bring back pups!

OK I dont understand this at all...... Why does invert post clips on here that a downsyndrome baby with leprecy and no hands could do. Its just retarted, its like you want us to give you an award or praise for just playing, when most people in halo could give a shit that you exist. Heres my thoughts, if you want to post a video that people WANT to see, post a video of you breaking your halo cd and you playing outside. That is a montage or clip I would give 5 stars to.

Halo is not a great competitive game no matter how much I wish it was. Ping/lag is a huge advantge as has been highlighted in mainy wowlag or how do i get smaller lead threads.
Yeah as you stated you pretty much agreed with me.
I can think of one powerup which is in a hard to reach place.
It made me lol when you said sniper control but nice try.

p.s The rules people have made have done nothing but increase the competitiveness of the game. rockets and frg in 2v2 are so overpowered its ridiculas.

Thats not what i meant but i could see how you got that impression.(shut up beany :P) Ping is a disadvantage to one team as in any game but it affects halo more than most making it harder for people with worse conections.

Neb said the rules we make make the game uncompeteive and gave his reaons why (those weapons are in hard to reach places.) However they are not imo and are very unbalanced.

I think we're looking at the game from two very different perspectives; shooting skill vs strategic skill. So we shall have to agree to disagree! B)

Sorry to be the big bad bear and bring on the bad news, but halo is not a 'good' game. There's a reason Halo has No major LAN tournaments, No big named sponsors backing it, No Media coverage, No Pay-to-Play leagues, etc etc.

Enjoying a game does not mean the game is good. Sorry bro. :(

[Don't get me wrong I enjoy Halo as much as everyone in this thread, but it's the truth whether you want to accept it or not.]

I cheat in every game I play, lie, deceive, boast, impersonate, and somehow that is a support for any argument I choose to make.

EDIT: Halo DID have big-name sponsors, then everyone moved to H2, then to H3. I know a lady who plays H2, H3, and Cod4 for Amazon, BestBuy, and the like.

In about the same amount of time it took for them to leave H1, they will leave H2, and so on.

EDIT 2: The other reason Halo isn't "big" is a developer decision. Valve CHOSE to continue support on its products and mods of its products. Microsoft or Bungie CHOSE not to. This has nothing to do with how "good" the game is, even though there are many things I would change in Halo to give it more depth.

Halo1 PC had about a years worth of good marketing. Believe it or not what makes a game popular is the pub noobs/spectators. These game creators could care less about us competitive players, as long as the majority of people who play 'for fun'/the people who keep up with gaming enjoy the game. Unfortunately, gaming fans didn't really pick up on HaloPC. If they did we'd have people like GotFrag and PwnageTV backing us, as well as competitive Leagues and LAN's.

And as far as sponsors: You're talking about Xbox, I'm talking about Halo1 for the PC - Just like Nebulous is.

This has nothing to do with how "good" the game is, even though there are many things I would change in Halo to give it more depth.

So you agree with me, but your too blindly arrogant to say to say it?

You're a nerd. Stop trying to be so booksmart and go out and have a social life.

No, you just see everything in black & white. Let's take a look:

"More" depth is relative. I would like to improve it, just as CS could be improved & deepened. Almost noone uses certain weapons; why not just toss them out after revision and make new, balanced ones?

There is some depth to H1, and there is some depth to CS & its progeny. If Halo didn't have any "depth", it wouldn't be "good". Therefore, according to your present logic, it wouldn't be a "pro" game.

----back to the other line----

You've continued to boast, lie, and deceive to this very day. If you want testimony, you probably know where to find it (or avoid it!). You even got yourself a temporary "PERMABAN" from HPT.

Then you came back to HPT, begged for yet another chance, even though I suspect you were all for Sod's permaban in KW. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thus, you, the "socialite", then have the gall to say this:

-For starters, define a "social life":
-is it "hanging out with ambitionless, maybe visionless, even negative people"?

Still nothing will change the fact halo pc was not built for the competitive scene and was always a money spiiner even when it took the jump to pc. It did however get luck in its failure with lead making it a much more skilled and suited for the more hard core games.

I've been arguing more for the Xbox version here...I neglected to mention that. Halo PC came out well after all the hype had died down and the only people that played it were the devoted gamers who didn't want to give up multiplayer as Xbox Halo died. (That's why I switched.) But I adamantly disagree that the original Halo was made to be a cash cow, PC probably, Halo 2 yes, Halo 3 yes.

Now a days, the only thing you need for a game to become popular is to make it easy to play. The learning curve in Halo 2 and 3 is so slight you can't even feel yourself get better. This leads to more people playing, more sales, more opportunities, etc etc. But they still owe they're popularity to us, the people that loved Halo when it came out and crammed it down our friends' throats until they loved it. We basically marketed for them, then, to reward all our hard work...they give us Halo 2...suffice it to say, that game is the worst FPS I've ever had the dissatisfaction of enduring. I'll stop here.

Anyways.....end offtopic rant!

the overall gameplay of halo 1 is not bad... if anything its great

halo1 xbox was a good competitive game despite how easy it is to aim even with the controller

i agree that leading added one more dimension to halo pc... but the advantage of having lower ping could really be game changing (although i know people who play better w/o 33 ping because its the lead they are most use to)

halo pc could have been just as good as halo 1 xbox if it was properly ported

the fact that the xbox version was limited due to the controller means that halo 1 could have gone even further competition wise on the pc.

i would agree that this pc game isnt a 'good' competitive game (but still is a good game in general). but only because of how much internet connection effects the results of matches

then again all competition should be done on lan so that doesnt even matter... so IM GOING TO HAVE TO ACTUALLY DISAGREE

It's the truth.

Mentally, definitely.

My reason: At home, you're used to your pc setup, your chair, your monitor, the lights in the room, etc. On LAN you have to adjust to a totally different setup, and that's what seperates good players from the pack.
