agreed, arena is awful, why the -blam!- would you take away options and the ability to chose a map before the game starts. Do autistic people work at bungie?

Hmmm i dont see how effective adding new game types to Rumble Pit will be, until you remove Infection and Safe Havens. Both clearly dominate the Rumble Pit votes (Easily 80% of all rumble pit games). For me its quite frustrating as Rumble Pit is the only place i can really go for non stop all on all action. The Infection game types are essentially team based or just spawn fests if your a zombie vs a team of camping Spartans.

THANK YOU FOR UPDATES!!!!!!!


THANK YOU for doing something with the DMR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

..... i haven't tried it out yet but i've dreaded the bloom issue.... hopefully this will help.....


I also HOPE that you guys will concider bringing CLANS Back...



I know that clan matches in HALO2 only made up approx 1-2% of actual matchmaking... However clans played a huge role with so many and can do nothing but IMPROVE the games experience and longevity among gamers.

Again thank you for the update!

I think your misunderstanding. They didn't do anything to the DMR itself, just added the radar to the playlist.

I'm the Hero.

Hey Bungie, the playlist update is really nice. Me and my friends loved the new separate list for SWAT. We have one complaint about it though, and it has to do with the spawn points. For instance: We played on Arena and during the entire SWAT match we were spawning in their base while two or more of them were there and we would die almost instantly. Also, it seems that as you spawn, on almost any map during SWAT, you either get killed instantly or incredibly fast. Please bring at least some kind of attention to it because I'm sure even ya'll notice it. On a side note, you should also think about bringing down the damage a melee can do, or at least keep it from completely knocking out your shelids. In every game I've played since the games release, the majority of both teams tend to just spam the melee but as soon as the see an enemy, and don't fire either until they break their sheilds or are too far. This is especially bad in SWAT which should be mainly about using your guns to get head shots. Thanks for bringing your attention to my post and great job on Reach overall.

Halo Reach Academy-Now open to the public! If you find yourself in need of help this September, the HRA is the place for you. We offer in game training sessions, training videos, forum discussions and regular tournaments for Trainees. Join today!

Why was the Hologram been removed? I have been asking for two weeks now and been completely ignored. If something is being removed then we, the people who play the game should be told why. Arbitrary changes just for the sake of making changes is not the way to go.

Tank beats everything.

Thank you SOOO much for removing Classic and SWAT from Team Slayer. It's like you guys read my mind.

  • 10.05.2010 3:26 PM PDT

I thought removing slayer pro was a joke at first, worst decision. plus now there is nothing to vote for its just one option and that's it and i never understood why you couldn't change your vote in arena... on a side note spawning seems almost broken when I'm spawning with the other team half the time and they spawn next to me, and its horrid on Pinnacle.

Every other change seems good, but still hate the space zone of Zealot especially on 2v2.

  • 10.05.2010 3:27 PM PDT

now i understand removing swat because you made it its own playlist but other wise the changes you made to big team are were the reasons i liked big team. Why decrease the amount of times snipes comes up? if people don't want it they just don't vote for it, it doesn't have to come up less. the reason people vote for it but they don't like it is because the other choices come up every time flag or headhunter and most people are not going to chose them every time. Also changing the scorpions to wraiths ruins hemorrhage, yes they are op but if they only spawned once or twice a match or possibly after the first tanks spawn and die they will spawn wraiths for the rest of the match. By the way another big point i have is why in a regular Spartan match there are covenant weapons all over the place but in elite slayer there are not unsc weapons at all. Otherwise i love reach but do not completely like the new update.

Quick question for any Bungie employess:
Since the maps and gametypes have been tweaked, do we need to download them to our HDDs to have the updated files for custom games, editing, etc., or are they updated to the "locked" maps and gametypes?

  • 10.05.2010 3:37 PM PDT

How is removing Slayer Pro from Arena supposed to be a good idea? That's all me, or any of my friends, vote for in Arena.

I love the new additions sketch, I can't wait to play some of the new playlists!

Overall good updates but I HATE the fact you cant choose/veto maps in arena doubles, i don't know why you would even do that because it doesn't even give the player a chance to choose what map they want. It was working just fine and then you ruin it and not let us choose? I would honestly like too know why you would do that because im a HUGE doubles fan and i would like to see some changes regarding map selections, i think oddball and king of the kill should be added to arena and if not then PLEASE MAKE A DOUBLES OBJECTIVE, if you do that ill make a machinama thanking and praising Bungie for all they did for me. Thats a promise! Thank you for a great game and a great experience.

Well. My XBL subscription is up in 3 days. Looks like I won't be renewing it, and I'll be trading in Reach. You fail at making a proper playlist for us hardcore gamers. No MLG. No Slayer Pro. No ranked hardcore gametype. Just terrible. Truly terrible.

Juggernaut changes? will this include the customizable feature fix, where we can finally give our juggernaut different starting weapons.

  • 10.05.2010 4:30 PM PDT

Bring back slayer pro!!!!!!! What the hell where you thinking???

  • 10.05.2010 4:36 PM PDT

Bungie is stupid.... They took out Pro from Arena....Which was The only thing that was worth playing... Reach is a game for complete noobs now honestly... Where the hell is the MLG playlist? What the -blam!- is going on Bungie?!?

  • 10.05.2010 4:53 PM PDT

I've heard it repeated ad nauseum that with this update, the credits earned from Gruntpocalypse are/were going to be nerfed. I'm not seeing any change so far, so is that just speculation from those who are butthurt that someone can level up without having to deal with MP?
