As a reminder.
Halo at its worst it’s still better than 90% of other shooters.
I stand by that statement even though I put reach at the bottom for multiplayer.

CE is the best because playing LAN games in the high school library was the best

No worries. A lot of people mistake the US FGC connecting everything as it meaning that people weren’t playing fighting games in other places. It just wasn’t the interconnected web of different communities across the whole planet that it is now.
The term “FGC” (which I hate because its a terrible descriptor even more so now that games are getting their independent tournaments) starts with the US scene doing multigame tournaments. Then you can track that through Evo and people connecting to SRK and a bunch of other websites for single games. As people start connecting through tournaments getting bigger etc, a lot more communities are being created/ start growing/ start connecting with each other until you get what you have today.
Whether or for good or bad, everybody got connected through Evo in one way or another.
The flip side of that local scene like yours, basically have zero press worldwide and the internet doesn’t have good documentation on any of them. We know a bunch of the important people for the US, but who are the people that made your scene run, best players, who was teaching people, what eras in terms of players and games did you go through? There’s a lot of history of local places that we don’t have.
Which is why I said that we’ve had some people flip out at that. It isn’t that we don’t care, we just don’t know. The information isn’t there and nobody is collecting it.
So what’s up with Pakistan, how did Tekken get so big over there?
CE multiplayer is super good, but it’s let down by having the worst maps in the series and awful weapon balance.
Thankfully, with its few useful weapons and few good maps, it’s still a complete blast.
Count me in too, it’s my least favorite entry of the series (not counting the earliest versions of the other entries)
We only ever played Sidewinder and Blood Gulch so that may be true
I only ever used the rocket, pistol, fuel rod, and sniper. Don’t remember how good the needler was
It’s always interesting asking Halo players to rate all the titles. The answers you get are so varied.
Really hope Halo infinite does the series justice and blows up.
Halo’s… okay. I recall the series doing a bunch of smart design choices to make FPS controls work properly on consoles, I just never liked neither those design choices at all, nor do I enjoy playing an FPS on consoles.
Co-op can be really fun, granted.
How did Tekken get so big in Pak?
Horny people. Loud music. Explosions when you hit the opponent.

Actually I want to again clarify.
I don’t really like or play BTB, so my rankings are biased against BTB. For example, I fully admit H5 BTB maps are not great… but I don’t care.
But yeah, H1 is very narrow. But the core gunplay is so good it doesn’t sink it.
That’s my issue with H3, it’s the only halo game to mess with the gunplay, and since that doesn’t work as well no amount of excellent maps can make up for it.
Reach is just broken.
Multiplayer FPS ratings:
Halo at its best
Modern warfare 2
Halo at its worst
All others shooters
this is so fucking sig worthy it hurts.
We need a new forum software that lets us have signatures back. The amount of godlike quotes we are not saving is a detriment to the culture.

I’m happy there’s no documentation of locals.
Pakistanis are tough and tolerant and I’m sure the international community would ostracise them, especially the US.
The customs and culture is different and I’m sure that if I repeated here what is said there, I’d be banned.
based and yes I’m a gold mine
It’s because they are all good, and they are all good at different things. If you love single player and BTB, H3 is great. If 4v4 is your favorite, 2 & 5 are untouchable. If you eat glue, you probably like reach (disclaimer: reach campaign mode is aces).
It’s why I didn’t do a tier list. Putting all the games in just two tiers wouldn’t say much.

I’ve actually never really played COD. I played whichever one had zombies when I was at someone’s house a few years ago but that’s it.
Not a fan of the “real life aesthetic” shooters
Ahh didn’t even consider BTB vs 4v4. 
I definitely prefer BTB so that influenced my ratings.

CoD is actually really good.
However it’s really formulaic, and I burned out on it a long time ago.
Halo is still better.
CoD is OD
Please play all of them from 2012 backwards.
My ratings are definitely biased in the other direction, as I like 4v4 the most.
I also really like the single player & coop modes.
