Good news. Would have been Great news had the infection playlist update got pushed through. Having everyone and their mom always choose it for Rumble pit made me want to quit playing Reach. It may be fun to some people, but after 5 games in a row, I just wanted to snap my game disc in half. Would have been more enjoyable than game after game of boring a55 infection.

Common Sense is Uncommon.

Today's update was all the "simple" stuff. Look for the level cap to be raised later in the month when the second half of the update comes online.

agreed. they just removed the most decent gametype and without any explanation. i hope there will be some sort of mlg playlist in the works.

I need a weapon.

Thank you.

im a very competative player and i do not like slayer pro being taken out of dubs and team slayer at all. I think bungie should put an MLG team slayer and a MLG doubles playlist because the jetpacks and invis are all just noobie things which just made this game worse. Bungie please put slayer pro back in or make MLG playlist. Also, why was swat put in before MLG. MLG is 10 times more popular.Please put a Snipers playlist also. I dont know what bungie is thinking but they need to be thinking more on the competitive side of reach not the noobie one. P.S. Sorry for any misspells.

Why would you take off Slayer Pro? Like you guys really just took off the only competitive mode in the game. Now all I can play is against rookies with jetpacks thinking they're cool. Bungie always ends up messing up a good game by adding stupid stuff like that. Especially with the overpowered grenades that everyone spams? Like cmon Bungie.. You can do a lot better. Put back Slayer Pro, so the "GOOD" players can destroy rookies that can't do anything without their little jetpacks.

The only thing I am not happy with is the fact there is still no Snipers playlist.

Still, can't have everything in life.

I was hoping to hear something about the AA/power weapon host migration problem. In Arena currently if one team fights hard for the power weapons and sets up, it was common for one of the opposing team to quit, triggering game restarts/host migration. When the game comes back all power weapons have respawned (nullifying your earlier push) and your armor ability would be defaulted to sprint until respawn, sometimes there would be no AA but instead a hologram looking "sprint" icon attached to everyones back until a death/respawn.

Fountain of mongooses eh?

Anyway, good to hear that the first update has been released.

  • 10.05.2010 12:44 PM PDT

I don't care what people say, replacing the tanks with wraiths sucks. Part of the appeal of Blood Gulch was the challenge of going up against an enemy tank and the satisfaction of finally killing it or stealing it and using it against the enemy. Now we get -blam!- wraiths that are more useless than a mongoose.

ZOMG Bungie you sure don't listin

you removed slayer pro!!! it is the only game type any gamer can play with out the foollish but funny jetpacks

but hopefully because you put (season two) this is just to switch it up or something

but i don't like it and needs come back

  • 10.05.2010 12:52 PM PDT

How did anyone think removing Pro from Arena was a good idea?!?!?! It seems like if anything you'd want to make it just Pro. Super bummed.

  • 10.05.2010 12:52 PM PDT

SIICK! I was already happy with most of the playlists, and from that update they suggested it gets better from here! THX BUNGIE!

  • 10.05.2010 12:55 PM PDT

Add Team snipers to like Team swat =)! It's so funny =)

as much as i love slayer pro over other game types. if your reason you want slayer pro back is so so called good players can kill rookies... your pretty sad kid

good players don't need no rookie to get a kill

I'm a 13th generation assassin

I suggest that a Team Snipers playlist be added in a month or 2. Anyone agree?

  • 10.05.2010 12:57 PM PDT

I've noticed Swat still appearing in the voting options in Team Slayer a couple of times since the update went live. Assuming it's just temporary?

When all hope seems lost, and the ground is littered with the bodies of our fallen comrades, wait for the thunderous crash of my rifle, and I shall lead us to salvation.

yeah this just turned me off to arena. the worst part of arena before this was radar. now its radar and not having slayer pro. this just made a lot of competitive gamers quite upset. lets pray that you are in the works to add an mlg arena list sometime soon to make up for it.


I didn't play Arena Season 1 (although I played the Beta Preseason) as I wanted to work with my team a bit and figured I'd start in Season 2 when I felt we were more prepared. Guess I'm waiting until another season now that Pro has been removed. Might as well just play Team Slayer at this point =(

  • 10.05.2010 1:05 PM PDT

yea. bungie better hurry up with mlg cuz team arena sucks right now

I only just came back to the forums a few days ago. Has there been a lot of complaints about Pro, or something? Seems as if something had to have happened that I missed if they're removing Pro from, you know, a ranked playlist.

Still wish we would have gotten some kind of information on the Level Cap. Many of us were expecting it to be lifted today.


I'd bet November 5th. Bungie will have reason to encourage players to hang around. :)

Yes finally. I've always wanted a infection playlist.


There's an infection playlist now? I didn't see that in the update. Can I get more specifics about this? I've got the batteries to my controller charging right now, so I can't exactly verify any of this for myself at the moment.
