It turns every game into SWAT.
It's not a competitive strategy, it's an exploit. It doesn't take much to quickly press a few buttons and get results. The skill gap is more like a knowledge gap. You just have to find out how to do it pretty much. Commonly exploits that go unpunished are praised by the parts of the competitive community because it gives them a quick upper hand. It happens all the time in fighting game tournaments. The people who bother to show up to those things in person get praised for using the fastest and most boring methods that happen to be the most effective because they are usually exploits. It's broken. Also Halo isn't some sort of fighting game where we use button combos.
Yes everyone can do it, but it devolves the game into a shoot first instant kill match. Which is fun in it's own right when gone into intentionally, like a rockets only or snipers only match. Or for some reason if you like swat, that too.
Halo is not a fighting game. Keeping these exploits in just deprive it from it's pure form.

Edited by OptimusPrime 15: 7/8/2014 9:40:23 PMYou already know they're gonna patch it when enough people bitch about it after launch. BXR and superjumping probably won't work on the remade maps anyway.

Keep it enabled for Halo 2 custom matches at least
-
If I play H2 and find people using it, I'm reporting them for cheating.

There was nothing wrong with button combos. [quote]The skill gap is more like a knowledge gap.[/quote]That's literally the same thing.

If you were on the recieving end of a BXR more than once in a game, then you're a retard that deserves to get s.hit on. If you want a shooter with a laughable skill gap, continue playing that abomination called Halo 4.

I never mastered BXR or BXB, but I never had a problem with people who were capable of pulling it off. Not sure if that's because I tended to stay at range or because I stuck people who got close.

BxR just cancels the animation from a melee, it's not an instagib button.

[quote]The skill gap is more like a knowledge gap.[/quote] Well yeah, you kinda gotta know shit to get good at it and get better. You aren't supposed to be able to pick it up and be the best.

[quote]It's not a competitive strategy, it's an exploit[/quote]Not mutually exclusive. [quote]skill gap is more like a knowledge gap[/quote]Probably because skill is knowledge. [quote]Halo isn't some sort of fighting game where we use button combos.[/quote]Halo 2 is. Git gud or stay salt&vinegar.

"b-b-but muh glitches that halp me win" When I do eventually get the MCC, I'll never touch H2's broken MP.
-
keep it in, let the fanboys have thee original game, so they can realise how bad it is.
-
If H2A gets patched and receives a ranking system that isn't terrible, that would be amazing.

You can choose the playlist which combos and glitches, or patched and improved.
