Subject: A Plea for Change

I don't play Reach, because well, I think it's straight garbage. Therefore I play Halo 3 still. Mostly I'm ok with this as I continue to have a good time with my favorite sport, however, all is not well. Halo hoppers have always been imperfect in my opinion but now with the added stress of a MUCH smaller player base, these flaws are painfully apparent.

The problem is a clear lack of map support to playlists that have no business excluding them. I don't know if anyone's tried playing the Team Mythic playlist recently, but let me tell you that it's basically dead. As I write this there are 54 players residing in mythic, compared to the 2200 in social slayer. Unfortunately, maps such as orbital, assembly, and citadel never show up in social which is such a shame.

I find it pretty terrible that despite having charged for these maps, Bungie only allows them to show up in niche playlists, severely hampering a player's ability to access them.

So my request to whoever may be listening, is that new maps like Orbital, Assembly, and Citadel get the treatment they deserve. In addition to that, I see no reason why Epitaph should be limited to hoppers like Team Doubles and Multiteam. If Guardian can work with 5v5 then Epitaph would have no problems at all.

What gives Bungie/343?

Epitaph is a crappy map.

They should just make the maps free.

I really don't understand all the hate against Epitaph. Snowbound is a crappy map. Isolation is a crappy map. But Epitaph is comparable to Guardian imo and always has been.

I do agree that the maps should all be free. However, free or not , that does not dictate what playlists it shows up in.

Epitaph is mediocre at best.

  • 09.16.2011 1:27 PM PDT

Still infinitely better than Snowbound and that garbage shows up every two seconds.

i've never understood how i can see the same map like last resort 10 times in a night but never the pit or construct.. the map selection has never made sense to me in halo 3

I agree. I wish Halo 3 had more map updates or a refresher of playlists. This alone would beat whatever reach has.

Try Team Slayer, there's always so much Pit and Construct.

Alright so I know the unlikeliness of any change happening unfortunately. However, does anyone think that with enough support 343i would motivate themselves to do this tiny little thing to support the loyal fan base of the last true Halo game? and if so, who wants to team up and try to do something? Heck even with a .00001% chance of success we could at least say we tried...

There not here or ever will be. JUST DEAL WITH IT DINO!

Dino will suck all the time. Jesus Christ on a pogo stick getting owned by a Master Sergeant.

Really how bad are you, getting carried almost every game in the last 5 games.

You could own me no doubt since I have not played since 6/15/2011 3:45:12 PM. If your not doing good don't play slayer go into sack or something that you can chill.


BTW play the maps you hate more! Or Get a New copy of ODST!

Troll I'm not complaining about losing. I know I have bad games. I also have frigging awesome games so who cares. The point is about the maps bub. Variety is the spice of life and quite frankly Halo 3 could do with a little more and it wouldn't be a hard change to do.
