Subject: Halo: Reach October Playlist Update

I will defiantly never play arena again until they bring pro back. Turned a fun list into something dumb. If you are going to do this kind of a change why notjust make a dmr arena and let people who want to play pro can have theirs as well.

Looks like swat is the only game type worth playing anymore. Until snipers or mlg list comes out.

-blam!- you. -blam!- Microsoft. -blam!- Bungie.

I've played a few Big Team Battle matches today and I have to say that a lot less people are voting for Hemorrhage now. Why don't you take the Tank off Paradiso too to make it fair to all of the unskilled players who suck at destroying Scorpion Tanks.

Sketch, what about the level cap? when will that be lifted.... its boring staying at lt. colonel 3.

Wow. This is ridiculous. I understand how you tried to change Reach from the traditional Halo, but honestly you need to let those die hard halo fans, like myself, have a bit of fun. I have no fun and see no point in the game when you have people with specs running around that are quite honestly annoying.
Fairness. One word bungie. You can't have a fair game without equality. How can a game be equal with armor lock or jet packs, its just ridiculous. Halo 3 i believe had more people playing a year after it came out then reach is today. a low of 112 thousand people at one point. Halo 3 didnt reach that point for like 2 years.
If your going to change the game, at least make a play list for those who love halo, not a new game. Take off rador, take off specs, and enhance the speed a bit. In all honesty, GameBattles created far better maps and game types then bungie is doing. Love the game, hate the playlist.

Betrayal booting isn't any different. How can you compensate for a teammate walking in front of you as you are sniping? Or how about trying to kill a Gold Elite with a rocket to save a teammate who is trying futilely to take it down with a pistol? Guess there are still too many idiots out there with no situational awareness. Fix betrayal booting, don't "tweak" it. Thanks.

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.

JOE VS YOU
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



Woah dude. That Dear Music is perfectly right. Destroy rookies. Nothing is better then owning up some noobs. And honestly i doubt thats why he wants it, but just an example. Anyways a rookie should learn to not go into a competitive game type, unless he wants to get destroyed. Common sense right? you can't play a game and be the best off the start. However competitive is about destroying, if you lose by a great deal, you get destroyed therefore your'e a rookie to me.

But still a MLG game type needs to be put inside this stupid scrubby playlist system. I honestly dont want to play and don't try at all in arena. Kids that are rookies honestly play that. WELL WHERE ARE THE PROS? I WANT COMPETITION! This game is lame without competition. Insert a mlg list pronto.

Look at your halo 3 playlists bungie. They were great. Just some advice. Anyone disagree? With the exception of "new gametypes" such as invasion, firefight, etc.

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


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



OOOOh!!! now i see.. DARN! i thought they were gonna make it a little more efficient. end results less random.... ohwell... ill keep hoping

  • 10.05.2010 6:06 PM PDT

The soft-kill zone is the top level of zealot. Ok i agree with all the updates other than the removing slayer pro now in my opinion the arena is stupid without it now i always have to deal with the other armor ability's and that is one of the man reasons i play arena so i dont have to deal with it

  • 10.05.2010 6:10 PM PDT

I was going to leave flowers on your grave where I shot you in the head, but with so many headshots, I can't remember where your body was last seen.

Glad to see SWAT moved, but it is going to take moving Snipers to a seperate playlist to get me to return to multiplayer. Team Slayer should be just that. No elitist gametypes that CoD people vote for like it's 1999. I still say there should be an accuracy based playlist with SWAT and snipers. CoD fans will have their little playground and STFU perhaps. Heck, throw Slayer Pro into there, and they'll probably never complain again.

Also... Classic slayer was removed from Team Slayer? Um... It's a "slayer" gametype, WHY would you remove it? O.o?


Oh and changing the scorp to a wraith.
Blue team sends you this message...


YOU REMOVED SHEILA YOU TEAM KILLING F***TARDS!

These are really welcome changes! I like that SWAT is in its own playlist.

Can I make a suggestion, unrelated to the playlists though?

Can you guys move the "player killed player" text either higher or lower on the screen when in split screen multiplayer? When playing with 4 people on the same TV all that text shows up right in the middle of the screen! It blocks your cursor and your horizon and makes it incredibly difficult to see.

Thanks!

"Gonna' eat your brains and gain you're knowledge"

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.



Why is everyone so annoyed about Slayer Pro being removed from Arena? I'm more annoyed about the lack of maps to choose from than the actual game type.

The update's actually pretty good from what I can tell, still a bit rusty on a few terms though, ie. what is a "soft kill spot" (or whatever it's called) and "fountain of Mongooses".

The only improvement for me would be accessing other people's maps made in Forge. Managed to get a few (and they were rubbish by the way - not saying I could do any better though), but had to change so many settings to actually get into the map to play after downloading it. Mission.

"Gonna' eat your brains and gain you're knowledge"

OH and when me and my boyfriend were playing Rocket Race and our Mongoose fell of an edge it said I betrayed him and committed suicide when we were shot with a rocket so technically someone else killed BOTH of us.
Then when he was driving it said someone killed him but that I committed suicide (again!!)

Outrage.

  • 10.05.2010 7:14 PM PDT

The new update were pretty cool. Why did yall remove slayer pro from arena, and when are yall gonna add in a team sniper playlist?

South Australian Halo 3 Tournaments at www.streetgeek.com.au

Good but.... Oddball on Asylum was good. Why is it gone.
OMFG the one good BTB Snipers map Boneyard has been taken out. Let me guess the terrible hemorage is still there. FAIL.

So Swat is still in multi team? Thats a total joke its at its worst in multi team.

  • 10.05.2010 7:22 PM PDT

Still hoping for an official, full time Grifball playlist.

While I think it's fine that you took Slayer Pro from Doubles Arena, I'm not sure I like not being able to vote between two maps.

  • 10.05.2010 7:35 PM PDT

There needs to be a Team Snipers

  • 10.05.2010 7:48 PM PDT

bungie stated that like swat, team snipers would be a latter addition to the game

real gamertag: lastlifexx

I'm with you man. Along with more than half my friends list, it's not even worth playing Team Arena. It's identical to Team Slayer now. It's boring, annoying, and just not cool!

BUNGIE! Listen to the people that actually like the game for all it has to offer! PUT IN AN MLG PLAYLIST!

By making a large portion of the gamers happy, you've pissed off the rest of us who are actually really good at this game.

Thanks for the TERRIBLE update.

  • 10.05.2010 8:05 PM PDT

Honestly I think the Scorpion change was a horrible idea. Wrath's are terrible in my opinion. If Scorpions and Wraths are supposed to be equal why did you replace the scorpion? Any time you want to take it ou you just Plasma Pistol it. The whole cannon goes down unlike the Scorpion. Also you are only accurate with it for about 40 yards, otherwise is luck.. Another thing about it is when I jump on the back of one and beat it down I die... That also happens when i plant a grenade in it. The whole thing blows up and kills me. Make wraths more useful. So right now there are only scorpions in Paradiso? The map where you have to follow a certain path and you die in it soo fast... I really don't understand that choice Bungie... Hope it gets fixed...

Cool, glad to see the Scorpion off of Hemorrhage. I also had no idea that there was a landmine on the Red team's west cliff.

* Fountain of Mongeese should no longer be possible (don't ask)
Oh you know I want to ask...
