Sounds great. I enjoy a game of invasion here and there, but with only 2 maps it gets boring fast..


yeah, this map i feel would be a great edition.

To be honest, even though the idea is good, I think that coming up with knew and fresh ideas is the best route for Bungie.

I know i've had a hell of a lot more fun on Sandtrap than most of the "new" maps Bungie has made for Reach. Hemorrage is fun but is not "new", Pinnacle is fun but not "new". There are some good new maps but Reach's new maps are not as good as some old maps.

quite honestly i think the community maps are better than most of bungies maps in reach... all except sword base which happens to be my utmost favorite map. and it is quite original with its unique design...

Meh, I like Coundown aswell, basic playing space and it's one of the only maps I enjoy slayer on (No longer a slayer fan, Objective FTW!)


thats a good one too, although i feel as though armor lock completely broke the close quarters combat feel to it...

One problem is, I bought the Noble map pack but unless I go on the DLC playlist and wait for it to be voted, and during the wait possible not enjoy myself, I don't get to play on Breakpoint. In the Invasion playlist it should have a DLC Invasion where it only matches you with people who have the DLC or some sort of Prefer DLC player option.

Meh to AL, if you play Elite Slayer on Countdown then there is not as much AL anymore due to the changes, there's certainly less AL on E Slayer than S Slayer.

yeah good idea, but the tough thing is that they need to make more map packs first in order to give variation in the playlist... breakpoint 24/7 would get old very fast. but then again they could just throw in the non-DLC variants... just make the playlist something that only DLC owners can access...

No, no, that's what I meant, just didn't explain that part. You should get matched with otheer DLC owners so you can enjoy your DLC along with the normal stuff.

There is just something epic about pistols.

I really, really like this idea. Sandtrap just completely captured the BTB feeling. Vehicles dominated the open areas, Elephants, Infantry could duke it out indoors, beautiful sand, ship wreckage, giant towers...
