Yes i am aware that these start with E, but "the five E's" doesn't quite have that ring.

OP i think the website your looking for is here: www.bungie.net

No no no no no and NO

The age of empires 3 expansion pack implemented this gametype, with 10, 20, 30, and 40 minute versions of no expanding within a certain radius of your base.  I tried it a couple times, and in my opinion, ruined the game.  It took strategy out of the game.  Instead, it was, "Lets start fighting with full upgrades and 500000 resources to spend!"  That's what deathmatch is for.  Those games usually turned into accidental WWI simulations-- Move up 10 feet and lose 300 musketeers, then get pushed back 20 feet and lose 100 more.

Let's try to keep it at a faster paced, rush oriented game

FlawlessChris:

Ok to be fair I wouldn't say you SUCK, more like you haven't figured out the right strat. yet. Play around and things will become much easier. As far as your idea for 10 min wait, I have friends that when we play skermish ask me to do this all the time. I tell them no, and they don't complain. It's just simple strat vs strat. I think if they were to do this, because there are enough people out there that would enjoy this gametype a little better there would have to be limitations.

1. Start with fewer supply (initial and on map. This would make boosting your base/units a little slower at start.)

2. Only for 1v1s. (If this went to 2v2 or 3v3 then it would mess the game up all together.)

3 Must be played on a 2v2 or 3v3 map. (The reason I say this it because I think there should be a good amount of bases for each player. I will explain with the next rule.)

4. Unit size will be similar to Deathmatch. Each base equals 15 units. (With this and rule three one would have to spend their money on bases. While yes they would be able to have more units this way it would take them a little longer to get things set up, and for the players that are bad at the game they would be able to have a chance at a come back with more than 2 bases. Also all bases should have Resistance at them so they don't just boost their supply and take free stuff, and no extra reactors or forerunner bases.)

5. This one is majority vote here. Tech levels will only be upgradable based on time.

Example of rule 5

0:01-2:30 ( Players can only purchase up to Tech 1 things )

2:31-7:00 (  Players can only purchase up to Tech 2 things )

7:01-10:00 ( Players can purchase any Tech level they like )

This would help keep things a little more difficult for players until closer to time. Maybe a little tweaking would be needed, but just an idea. Don't make fun of people because they would like to be different from you, just laugh at them in your head. No but really there are quite a few people that enjoy this gametype and play it with their friends in private games. Not these rules, but the 10 min thing.

lol all you need for an arbiter rush is lvl 1 tech

i dont think in the 4 matches ive played i went past one, maybe two

Are those similar to the 4 D's of dodge ball?

Sorry guys, its my first RTS. And you dont gotta say "YOU SUCK" blah blah blah....c'mon, im not horrible & I do counter the rush sometimes. Maybe that would be a bad idea, but hey im just trying to think of some good ideas to improve the game....guess this one wasnt that good.

PappyPwnerton:Your a total noob. Those of us that have been playing RTS since I say 1995 and original Command and Conquer know how to deal with a rush. Figure it out or go play Call of duty.

 

okay i have to ask..you say youve been playing RTS since 1995...thats 12 years ago..so how old were you then? 15? i hope you were a lot younger then 15..because that would make you 29 years old this year..which would make you pretty old and lame for calling someone a noob..leave it to the mid/highschoolers..and if you were 8..then your 20 this year..and your still wack.

 

and and btw i hate the rush complainers too..i just hate the complainers about the rush complainers..its irony and hypocritical almost.

People will always complain about something when they lose, or if they can't do it themselves.  Don't you remember how many "I hate the arbiter he is too good wah wah wah" threads were created after the game release?

smartkidbk5:I think there should be an update that no one can cross the middle until a certain time. (Ex. 10:00). It may be a tactic and beatable, but it makes the game not fun. Anyone else think this?

Well, eh NO, you have to deal with the fact that some people rush and some people dont. In order to win you must do the 5 A's of Strategy games
