Simply because I can't play the maps in MM like I bought them for in the first place. I think in the past 2 weeks I've played Anchor 9 and Condemned maybe 4 or 5 times combined and that's only because I got lucky in SWAT. I can only dream of playing Breakpoint now because I can't access premium battle and the only reason I can't is because I lack the anniversary maps.

I mean, what the heck, 343?

Not everyone is going to get CEA or the anniversary maps like they seem to be thinking, and those with the Noble/Defiant map packs basically just wasted almost 2000 points since the maps almost never show up in MM outside of premium battle. Anniversary maps already have their own playlists; there is no need to go screwing up premium battle as well. They should have left premium battle the way it is and, if they wanted Noble/defiant maps so bad, included them in the anniversary playlists.

Anyone else feel this way? I just think it was a stupid move on their part >_>

For all we know, 343i could have done this for the profit. I'm not really sure if this is a smart move for 343i to make.

What's the deal with milk?

does the anniversary com with the noble and defiant map packs on it, like how ODST had the mythic map pack on it?

Nope.

THATS MY COOL MAN I CAN'T TAKE IT OFF!

Noble at least should be reduced price by now, if not free. Anyone who's gonna get that probably has by now.

343 just needs to require map packs for most of the playlists.



Well they have more work to do than that with MM but that's irrelevant ITT.

You can never succeed if you never try.

I'm in the same boat OP. Bought Noble and Defiant and now they never show up. I used to play Premium Battle quite a bit, but now I can't because I don't have CEA.

I hope they fix this. I'm not exactly thrilled that I wasted $20.

I feel the same way. I only got a map from a map pack once on Squad Slayer and I feel like I wasted MS points on them and should get DLC for ME2 instead.

And I still haven't bought CEA nor the map pack.

343i should make half the playlists DLC required just like they did in Halo 3.

Exactly, more people need to get the DLC.

My friend has the noble and defiant map pack but he cant play on the premium playlist(dlc maps)so i did a test with my account and it worked because i had the new anniversary maps.So he's pissed at the game because he just wasted $20 bucks on dlc that was good for a month

Okay, but which DLC? All of them? If so, then that would not solve OP's problem. He/she has two of the map packs, but not the Anniversary Map Pack, and so does not have all of them. This is one of the problematic issues with new DLC. Each time a new map pack is created, it affects all the playlists that require DLC, making people who purchased the previous ones, but not the new one, feel cheated. Separate playlists for each DLC is not the answer either, because of population concerns and the limited amount of maps that become available (making the playlists repetitive and boring).

I personally like having new DLC appear regularly, since I enjoy new maps, and would prefer playlists that require all of the DLC, but I understand the opposing viewpoints.

Of more interest to me is why people continue to post these kinds of complaints on Bungie's forums. Go to 343i's forums where the posts are more likely to have something result from them. Do people not comprehend that Bungie no longer has anything to do with correcting Halo Reach problems?

I agree. The few times I played Premium since the map pack came out, there were less than 200 players in it and it took around 5 minutes to search.

Couldn't agree more. At least do this for one of the map packs. It's been long enough.

Yeah, I wasted my money on the DLC. I've played the Defiant and Noble maps maybe 20 times total.

  • 11.29.2011 5:30 AM PDT

Well actually every one is gonna buy cea because 343i said its gonna be better than reach and people liked reach too much so obviously they gotta like cea better than reach

  • 11.29.2011 9:36 PM PDT
