You've removed scorps from blood gulch?! :'(

I like everything except for the scorpion being gone from hemmorrhage. It's just not the same blood gulch without the tank. It's not that hard to combat the tank with the new armor abilities now.

No heavies version being considered still?

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.

While I understand that people who are used to racking up absurd amounts of kills in the tank are upset, I do need to point out that a lone tank on Hemorrhage unopposed by another tank was truly fierce and game-altering to a somewhat ridiculous extent.

This is cool, by why is it going to take a few extra weeks for the infection playlist? I hope it doesn't become a once-a-year thing like 3's. :(

Overall a good update, but seriously? You didn't remove infection from rumble pit!

also, infection should not have its own playlist, or else it will just be the new gruntpocalypse.

I can't believe Bungie replaced of the Scorpion Tank with the Wraith on Hemmorrhage. The Wraith has a smaller blast radius, slower fire rate, can't shoot as far, and is harder to blow up than the Scorpion Tank.

  • 10.05.2010 1:28 PM PDT

Wow...thats horrible
The scorpion shouldn't be deleted from Hemmorahge. Its stupid that the bungie team did that.
Well, at least let the wraith have 2 DIFFRENT SHOTS, like the banshee. Anyway, what bungie team did, deleting the Scorpion, is all screwed up.

Since there is no tank on Hemmorrhage Paradiso is my favorite map, but it's not even that good. Are you guys going to remove the Tank from Paradiso too?!

Where's my damn Marathon emblem, Bungie? I noticed it's gone from the shields in the difficulty images too.

I like the update, but SWAT turned up in Team Slayer!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No one voted for it, because anyone that actually wants SWAT is in that playlist, but why did it turn up in Team Slayer!?!?

I'm assuming the "auto-placed on mongoose after 10 seconds of being on foot" means we can't just assassinate people in Rocket Race anymore, correct? If so, I'll definitely miss that. I know it's a complete jerk move and isn't at all the way the game was intended to be played, but the hilarity that resulted from it was simply invaluable.

  • 10.05.2010 1:50 PM PDT

lol spelling mistake sorta, instead of mongeese, it shoud be mongooses, that is the correct plural or mongoose, wiki it if you dont believe me!

Well, at least you still have 10 seconds. I suppose, with good timing, you could still assassinate somebody if you set it up right. Could prove to be even more comical, as I doubt anyone would really be expecting it.

What I think would be great:

Bring back Generator Defense for Objective!

More maps for Invasion

More Firefight variants

I love that you took off the Scorpion tank, because whichever team killed the other Scorpion first, won the game. Anyone will admit that the Scorpion tank is the reason one team wins over the other. When you take the focus off the tank, and put it into confrontation, you get a better game.

Powerhouse is a great map and should see more love.

Just more variation in general I suppose. Firefight just needs it.

  • 10.05.2010 1:55 PM PDT

All that stuff is great but what really matters is when can i level up again?Please put the new ranks out, I enjoy playing but have no reason to.When will the new ranks be up?

Thank you for this quick response to these game issues. It is greatly appreciated.

Dear Bungie,
Grats on making your first mistake on Reach. Taking out the choice of slayer pro in Doubles Arena eliminates a large group of people, myself included, who actually only really enjoy playing without armor abilities, besides sprint. It's the only true competitive gameplay. Either change it back or come out with MLG playlist already or you're going to lose people to the STILL bigger crowd playing Halo 3.

  • 10.05.2010 2:09 PM PDT

I don't want random messages (ie, Join my group, etc). I have begun blocking solicitations.

Fountain of Mongeese? Yes, I asked, I want to know what this is.

seriously what are you guys doing over at bungie headquarters >.< do you not realize that people who want to play arena are the competitive ones. since its basically the only ranked thing you have (2 ranked playlists really?) whyyyyy would you piss even more people off than they already are with taking out pro from arena?? it just doesnt make sense. no voting system in arena? radar? wheres our MLG???? instead you add swat... i guess you just want all those call of duty fans to keep playing reach instead of your long term fans that like the competitive aspect of halo.. i guess you have just conformed to COD standards.

all i can say is youre going to loose a lot of competitive halo players because of all these rather terrible changes youve made to Arena system.

I could go on for hours about how your arena system is broken... BUT maybe you should just go play a game or two in arena and listen to how much people complain about it and how pissed we are. mmmk bye
