... change the Arena's name to 'Team Slayer' and remove the current Team Slayer playlist. Ensure that banner of 3 noobs holding ARs (instead of Arena's playlist-picture) remains to maintain the illusion.

The social population that is Team Slayer has nowhere to go. They tried out Squad Slayer and didn't like it, they don't like Objective (just look at its population) and MLG is far too much for them.

Pros
- Ranked playlist with a massive population.
- AR nubs still get their AR in the DMR-AR starting loadout.
- The final nail in the AL coffin.
- 2s-tricking will almost be obsolete considering how difficult it will be to pull it off (monumentally greater population searching at any one time than the current Arena playlist.)

Cons
- Gold Divison will likely become lolgold again due to the massive population of social/casual/random players getting into lower divisions, effectively boosting the division of competitive players up a fair bit.



WIN-WIN

Edit: Oh and all AAs should be pickups, including sprint. (No moar getting away scot-free when you pushed up when you shouldn't have! :D )

Agree with all except the last point, because it's an unrealistic desire that the majority of TS players probably wouldn't like, thereby contradicting your initial reason for these changes.

Everybody wants some.

This could work, but most will probably gravitate to squad slayer if TS becomes ranked, like social slayer in H3. Ranked TS in H3 did have a good population too, but it was always less.

This Season's Arena population is so low you're going to find that a lot of above-average players that would previously get Onyx are going to be bumped down to Gold.

Good, too many bad kids get Onyx anyway.

I think of Onyx as a 50 and 1%'s as the best 50s, sadly it doesn't work that way.


They shouldn't even play this season, no one should.

Well from what I've heard, the only people left playing arena are the people who originally deserved gold in the early seasons. There aren't many good players left in it.

Make a booster and boost bad kids to single digits. Best season to do it, not many good players will play. Its their only chance to get high Onyx.

My intentions were not for boosting anyone I just want to piss people off. So far it's been fun going -29 every game. But maybe towards the middle of the season I'll help others get onyx.

Is that all he has to do? Make an Iron account and search with bad people so that when they lose the loss pretty much counts for nothing?

I seriously lol'd at this idea. It's so magical.


I KNOW RIGHT.

It would solve so many more problems than it could possibly cause.

Yes, its pretty much exactly like H3 boosting.

I wasn't being serious btw, but if he wants to boost an try to get money out of it, might as well try this season.

Why would you be sick of AR starts? ARs take so much more skill to use than DMR's silly.

Na not gonna boost Im just gonna make sure nobody gets onyx. With the population being low there is a good chance that I will get the same people on my team, poor poor suckers.

It still has the pistol starts but most players are too lazy to switch weapons so you see ARs less.

Most of the time, people pick DMR start.

AR and AL seem to go together.

I wonder if anyone would actually stop playing TS if 343i just simply removed AL. Grow some balls 343i. :(

  • 12.07.2011 12:16 AM PDT

AL is not really a problem for me in TS but I really hate it in rumble pit.

Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

Reach host ranking algorithm: (a*quit_percentage + b*isMexican + c*(1/KDR) + d*hasGuest) * 100
where a > b = d > c

I thought of this quite a long time ago. It's basically a great idea, so you can guarantee there's no chance of it happening.
