Reach Question

Is there anyway to back out of a lobby when people are voting, like they are clearly going to vote for a match type you don't want?

Nope. Have to either turn the console off or Y to dashboard.

Or you could just stick through it and not screw your team over just because theres a game type or map you may not like.vashkey

Yeah.....that's kinda the idea. That you can't quit out of matches just because it's the map or gametype you didn't want. Back out and join a new group of players if you're consistently getting matches you don't want.

Or you could just stick through it and not screw your team over just because theres a game type or map you may not like.vashkey

Or Bungie could get smart and realize people don't want to play SWAT or Snipers when they sign up for Slayer.

Just a thought.

but luckily, bungie is still a step ahead of you and there is a SWAT playlis coming, probably a snipers one as well

dont you find that comment slightly ironic? i mean if its getting chosen a lot then it would generally suggest that people do want to play it...?chaoscougar1

It doesn't get chosen every time, but enough to make it annoying.

I didn't think this was even debatable, but when you have a game type that says Slayer, most people coming from Halo 3 aren't expecting SWAT to be thrown in there. Some people obviously like the one hit one kill type of play. I don't. I'm not perfect, I don't like being punished because my aim was off on my first shot. That's why I don't snipe. So how is it fair that people who obviously have an advantage can hijack the entire playlist?

lol hijack the playlist? i dont think this is a conspiracy against those who want regular slayer. and anways, its good practice, if your shot isnt dead on first shot, it soon will be ;)chaoscougar1

Just because something is hijacked doesn't mean there is a conspiracy. I'm going to chalk it up to a lot of people enjoying the hardcore styles of the modern shooters and want to play that in Reach. Which is fine, just don't force me to play it as well.

Good practice though it may be, I don't want to play it. Simple as that.

Anyway, my point is, no one should be complaining about players leaving when they pick a playlist that some people find unpopular. I leave every single Snipers playlist, unless it's BTB Snipers. This is a Bungie screw-up that was brought up during the beta and they still haven't fixed it. Just like they haven't made the reticles darker against lighter backgrounds. Big thumbs down, Bungie.

hahahahaha are you joking? so you are saying, if you dont get what you want then quit? that has to be one of the sillyest comments i have ever heard for a few reasons. 1: People dont chose a gametype based on what OTHER people like, 2: there is rarely a gametype which every player likes and is very good at 3: Just because you dont like it, doesnt give you a legitimate reason to leave.

Its not a Bungie screw up, its a player mentality screw up ;)

chaoscougar1

First off, why are you making statements(1 and 2) that are quite obvious?

Secondly, why should I play a game-type I neither like nor am I good at? That's a legitimate reason to leave.

Now that doesn't have to happen if Bungie makes playlists just for SWAT(which they're doing) and for Snipers.

There isn't anything wrong with my mentality. I know what I'm not good at and I stay away from it. On the flip-side, I don't want to subjected to it when all I want to do is play some good ol' Slayer.

Or you could just stick through it and not screw your team over just because theres a game type or map you may not like.vashkey

Ding Ding Ding.

Why bother going to the Slayer playlist then if you're just going to abandon your team? It pisses a lot of people off that they're a man short.

Sure you may not like what gametype it is, I hear that all the time, but never have I seen someone back out. This isnt COD where people can jump in and out.

No he has a point, it's a game played to have fun, whether you choose to accept that or not, and people shouldn't be forced to repeatedly play a gametype they don't like. Happened to me the other night in rumble pit, every fricken match ended up being infection. Don't get me wrong, I like infection. but sometimes I just want a good old free for all. I didn't quit any of the matches mind you, but I didn't enjoy the last few either, and ended up cutting my halo playing short due to not wanting to deal with it anymore. Separate play-lists could never hurt

I used to enjoy every playlist voted but that has worn off on me. I never quit but I lose interest in playing snipers and SWAT multiple times in a row. Stockpile was popular in the BETA...now its hardly played which saddens me

i also have a question related to reach but dont wanna make a whole topic about it...how much can i get trading it in to gamestop?

so many fun elements in it. headshots reward you with skulls, killing someone before they reach goal and reaching the goal while being shot at is like scoring a touchdown, lol

yes if they are carrying one. I have shot people and no skull pops out. this happen to anyone else?

well dangit. all this time I been going for head shots, lol

I don't like Stockpile, blame me for choosing anything over that:P, even Snipers, which I don't like either is what I prefer to that.

Hobbsey07

Because I want to shoot people with my assault rifle? Grab the sword and assassinate someone? Go on a shotgun spree cackling like a maniac while everyone curses my name? I can't do that in Snipers or SWAT.

You've never seen someone back-out? I don't believe that for a second. Who has been saying it's Call of Duty? Not me. I know people can't join back in on Reach. That's my team-mate's problem for picking a game-type I don't want to play. Sorry. :)

Clearly, you do not find them that obvious

And there is something wrong with your mentality, to be quite honest, its quite childish. I didnt get what i wanted, thus i dont care about anyone else and am going to quit

chaoscougar1

CLearly I do because I just said they were obvious.

I don't care about anyone else when I'm playing Halo. Doesn't mean I'm going to TK people. Doesn't mean I'm not going to help my team-mates out when they're in a bind.

People need to realize that selecting the same game-type EVERY SINGLE TIME has consequences.

You can think it's childish all you want to. Until Bungie changes it I will continue to leave game-types I don't like.

chaoscougar1

Nothing happens if you quit to dashboard before the game loads. So I'm going to keep doing it until Bungie throws in that patch to remove SWAT from Slayer.

Why do you lol and then type hahahahahaha? Don't they mean the same thing? :P

How am I not understanding? Please elaborate. Because I think I understand quite well: If they pick SWAT, I leave. I understand that the majority has chosen to play SWAT, but I don't want to, so I leave.

They are fixing it, in case you forgot. So I'm not alone with feeling this way about the game types. :)

Because I decided to remove what? What are you talking about?

I really don't care if my leaving screws over the team. In the long run, I'm playing this game for me. I can't change how people are going to vote, but I sure as hell can leave a lobby if it's a game-type I hate. If you don't like it, tough. :)
