Subject: So the December Update is awesome

Aside from the lack of an update to the Arena, 343 really hit it outta the park with this month's update. The new MLG is awesome, even if I did lose a bunch, Squad Slayer is great too. Here's hoping this sorta thing keeps up.

True, though considering a certain other company's track record with getting these sort of things implemented in a timely manner, it's certainly a step in the right direction.

I never praise MLG.

How I kill? Simple effective Head shots and Beat downs. My newest favorite saying? Bullet meet head, head meet bullet. I would love to say this to a current telemarketer. I now have come up with Operation Laser. Operation Laser is the basis of basic lasering. Spartan Lasers ftw!

They ruined Squad for me. I started to see signs of possible Bleedthrough. This isn't Halo 3. This is Reach.

Opinion. If he thinks it ruined squad, it ruined squad. If you think it takes more skill, that is also your opinion. But we could debate for hours about opinions.

While he has a point about opinions and such, let me explain my opinion real quick.

I liked Squad in its vanilla phases. Sure there was a skillgap that seemed somewhat small but it was casual. I like casual, laidback games. Going fast isn't always a good thing in my opinion.

Everything in Reach is casual really, there's no ranks or anything to put the pressure on.

I still feel that 343i is focusing too much on speeding up the more casual gametypes to make it more competitive though. Although considering how many people on this forum complain about bloom, I might be one of the few that embraces it.

Reach is casual, you still have a dozen Default Playlists.

It only takes a simple question to change everything.

What did they change?

>Zero Bloom gametypes added to the MLG playlist
Bueno.

I don't see why there would be gametypes without sprint though, a lot of the maps (like MLG's variant of The Pit) are wider than the original versions to properly accommodate Sprint. A serious redsign of the maps is necessary for NS to work properly, IMO.

Bloom reduction for Squad is all around awesome.

Squad and MT were my favorites though. I guess I'll have to find something else. If they -blam!- with BTB or Invasion though, I'm gonna be pretty mad.

Zero Bloom in MLG
Reduced bloom and other TU changes in Squad Slayer, Multi-Team, and...I forget what else.

Doesn't sound like much, but it makes a HUGE difference, especially in Squad.
