First off, NO ONE SAID INFECTION IS GETTING ITS OWN PLAYLIST. You can thank the trolls for that one.

Second off, i'm not pleased with the removal of the option to play Slayer Pro in Arena. With the whole voting system, I thought if people didn't want to play it, they wouldn't vote for it?

But I figure this is a result of everybody who took Pro for granted and whined about there being Radar in it. Now we've just got DMR's. Awesome.

Seriously bungie why would you take slayer pro out? You first say arena in meant to be a competitive play list then you go and take slayer PRO out. How does that make any sense? Then even before you took it out you left radar on, but why did you turn it off for slayer pro in team slayer? Its like the employees at bungie have no idea what they are doing.

  • 10.05.2010 9:31 PM PDT

Dear Bungie,

There are so many HUGE things that you guys have done to Reach to make it great, and so many little things that are holding it back from be amazing.

Versus Firefight would be stellar. Make it like a Team playlist. I played it for the first time the other day and now I don't want to stop playing it, even though I have kind of gotten bored with regular Firefight. (Rocketfight, Sniperfight, ugh. Just ZERO challenge.)

If you aren't going to give us Slayer Pro, then AT LEAST give us options on which map we want. I just played a few games in the arena and played Reflection back to back to back, and I was getting so bored. Or one step farther, MLG playlists in Arena.

Generator Defense in team Objective would be an amazing return. Playing Network Test 1 during the beta was my favorite thing to do. It was so much strategy, and there weren't tanks or anything to worry about.

Spawn points are terrible in SWAT. Playing SWAT on Boneyard, and being red team is an instant loss. Being green team on Multi Team SWAT on the Cage is instant loss as well. Please fix those spawn points, and I am sure they are not the only ones. Those are just the ones that made me terribly upset today.

Also, you need more maps for Invasion. I don't even play it anymore because it feels so redundant. I mean, c'mon, TWO MAPS?! That doesn't seem like you guys.

The picture of my Spartan has not updated since Day One of launching the Reach Stat Page.

I was in Forge for 4 hours and 45 minutes working on a map for Multi Team, and Big Team Battle, and I got 60 credits for it. Does that make sense?

I was so incredibly excited for this game. I held a midnight release for it at my Best Buy even though my GM said it would fail. I proved him wrong. We had our biggest midnight release to date with this title. I was living and breathing Reach in the months of it creeping around to September 14th, and I would hate to see what I love fall apart due to silly issues, and not being diverse enough for every person to enjoy.

MLG playlists, better spawning, Generator Defense in Objective, More Invasion maps, and Firefight variations.

Thank you,
Dillon

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.


1. It was all you MLG fans who couldn't stop whining about there being no radar, so I think you can all give yourselves a nice pat on the back for the new "DMR's Only" playlist that Arena has become.

2. "People that actually like the game for all it has to offer"? So you mean to tell me that a group of people that remove certain weapons and radar are enjoying the game for all it has to offer? Really?

  • 10.05.2010 9:37 PM PDT

PLEASE NOTE: all posts on any thread are not ME... my account was HACKED, it is now fixed. Anything that was said is a lie!!!

A while back I noticed a bug with infection. When you put lives to 1, and in-game you kill the zombie, the game doesn't end, nor the round. If anyone does read this, and know what I'm talking about, then perhaps next update that can be fixed?

  • 10.05.2010 9:49 PM PDT

Lovein' that SWAT is gonna be its own playlist and Infection also. ^_^
Why not do what Call of Duty does and just list every gametype as its own playlist? Not a complaint, just an observation.

Keep up the great work Bungie! :D

BUNGIE WHAT THE HELL!!! give us slayer pro. i dont want to playing little jetpack noobs for one whole month....sadly i guess ill just have to forge all month instead! but seriously this is crap...i thought it was bad enough that split votes made us play DMR's and was thinking that it should be random of which one was on top (DMR's or PRO) but know you take my PRO completely away....and then tell me what map im going to play...do you not trust us BUNGIE to pick a map i would enjoy?

I skimmed seven pages of this thread and apparently nobody who is replying can actually read...

Did Bungie NOT say that Slayer Pro WILL be put back? They are simply adding radar to it. That's all. They'll put it back next month. If that is too long, grow up. Seriously, a month won't kill you.

  • 10.05.2010 10:04 PM PDT

i agree wit this guy. arena was barely competitive to begin with. before the person who could steal kills and basically rush in and go kill for kill got the best score despite losing it for the time if they did. winning in arena isn't needed because it's all about stats. having no rank makes less competitive as it is and no slayer pro, i.e. radar every game, makes it really dumb. also not letting us pick a map is rather dumb as well. we had choices since the beginning of halo 3. y take that away? i for one hate all the original halo reach maps. sword base makes no sense as a real base. (no wonder so many spartans died) boardwalk is just dumb (snipe up top gives them first kills instantly in every game). plz give us back slayer pro. and take away armor lock and camo. they get multiple advantages such as emp with invulnerablity and invisible with radar jammer, respectively? WTF

Disrespect Your Surroundings

I like the new SWAT playlist but I think it should still come up once in a while in slayer. I love SWAT in general but people I normally play with will never play it in a different playlist...

lol it looks like your idea to remove slayer pro went over really well bungie haha. na but i like all the other updates but you should bring back some of the old halo 3 emblems fo sho. some people lost their iconic halo 3 emblems they were attached to. i know its not a big deal but still, i miss my rampancy emblem. but it looks like throwing down an mlg playlist would be the most benificial thing right now. haha but dont worry about all the bad reveiws theres just alot on here because mostly only really hardcore fans who play mlg get on here and check and reply to threads everyday. still was a pretty bad move though i gotta say. and all you tank blood gulch kids stop whining the wraith takes more skill. im sorry your super advatage machine has been turned to a lesser super advantage machine. haha get over it. cant wait for infection playlist. didn't really fit into rumble pit in my opinion. now when im looking for merkin all the kids the halo way or defending myself with all my friends and a shotgun i can choose. i like that. same thing with the swat. i like having more choice like that. having to play swat when i was in a slayer mood because of all the swat kids there always are wasnt fun. now youve made the swat kids happy and the non swat kids happy by not having to vote with the swat kids and getting swat 2/3 of the time. also someone brought up the four people on one screen kill update problem. thats huge i cant beleive thats not fixed yet. i dont wanna guess where my crosshair is within the jumble of words that overlap it because some buddies wanna play halo too. thats blammed up man. just some tips for the next update. also action sack was the bomb. absolutely loved it. it helped keep halo fresh and was fun to jump on after you felt like youve played too much halo. its also was a playlist that set halo from anything else and i know you guys are all for that. with blackops putting in new creative fun minigames like gungame and such i feel action sack is a big one up to that. or even instead of action sack mybe give custom games matchmaking support by giving the option to host a game and find people or just jump in other people's hosted custom games while getting no or lttle exp to prevent boosting. i feel like that would be a huge thing and definatly increase replayability immensely. i have too many custom maps and games that arent fun with my four person lan but would be way funner with the right amount of people and i dont like searching for a custom game community myself its hard. this option would also motivate people to forge and make new and fun game types to show off to people online. im an all around player and would definatly like to see a more pro playlist like mlg but also for kicks a more casual playlist like action sack. the more you accompany to players on both sides of casual and pro the happier everyone will be. and the happier everyone is the longer they play the game. the longer they play the game the more money and fame you make. so lets agree on a win win here and accompany a larger range of players here. casual gamers like variety and fun, and action sack or custom game matchmaking would hit the nail on the head and keep casual gamers playing for a long time. with custom games matchmaking the variety would never end. and the forge community would not only expand but probably wet theyre pants on the spot when if they saw custom games matchmaking. variety and customizables are what makes games so replayable to casual gamers. thats why super smash bros was huge. pro players on the other hand need a balanced skill based playlist and they will automatically keep playing because their drive to get better at a game that requires alot of skill and strategy rather than luck and op weopons. these kids love their mlg and slayer pro. bring that back maybe throw in some snipers and you've got a comunity of happy hooked pro kids. i would really appreciate a consideration of my propositions i didnt write this big ass paragraph for nothing. once again good job on the update haha i got carried away with ideas here lol.

Sword Base shouldn't be a map for Infection. The small corridor on the ground level that leads to the upvent is an overpowered defending spot for the uninfected players.

  • 10.06.2010 12:31 AM PDT

Wah wah wah they removed Slayer Pro waaaaah!

Thats all anyone ever seems to say. It was like they were married to that mode, im glad to see it go myself. Probably because im not a "super elite mlg competitive player" though.

Bring on the SWAT!

good first update - thanks Bungie.

You say you can't hijack the mongoose on rocket race but i was just playing half an hour ago and I did it to another team. Love the changes to rocket race, brilliant how you can die on foot.

  • 10.06.2010 1:11 AM PDT

I really would like to know when the new rankin updates are goin to be ?

  • 10.06.2010 1:40 AM PDT

Has it been stated why classic slayer was removed from Team Slayer? That was one of the best game types, going back to basics.

Learn to read. From the article on the front page:

"And for everyone out there who doesn't love Infection as much as the rest of the players, don't fret, we have plans to move Infection into its own "Living Dead" playlist later this month."

Slayer Pro removed - okay. But why dont replace the settings to No sensor settings and inject to Team Arena's playlist? I dont understand, i play 80 percent on Team Arena with Slayer Pro settings and i vote to it, now on Asylum all player going to top on both bases with Jet Pack... All maps with Jet Pack and camp on top. I hope on next update this settings in Team Arena was eliminated...
