Be strong, Own the world, Be the world

So I recently purchased the Noble and Defiant map packs and I don't see any premium slayer playlist like what they used to have. All the maps show up in custom games, but no where in online matchmaking. I've read many forums on Bungie.net and everyone says it's in premium battle... but guess what, I can't find that either. Other forums that are more recent say it's merged into TU beta, but I've played several games of TU beta and they only have regular slayer maps and forge world maps. Does anyone know what the heck is going on. I can play the Anniversary playlist, but I just want to play the Noble and Defiant map packs in matchmaking. Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

343i removed premium battle and made your search times longer. You now have to get really lucky and get matched up with other dlc players to get the maps to come up.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

343 took down the Premium playlists due to low population. Dumb move considering the DLC maps appear in other playlists 1% of the time.

Yeah it was pointless to remove premium battle. Even though it had less than 1k at a time they still should have kept it instead of screwing everyone who bought the dlc, if they removed playlists with under 1k 1/4 of the playlists would be gone.

Ahhh this is so frustrating because they are the best maps in reach, now I can only play them in custom games. Are you sure there's no way to play them competitively?

You could have the maps appear in other playlists, but it's like winning the lottery.

And so God called Moses to come forth but he came fifth and was therefore disqualified.

I really want "Premium Battle" and "Premium Slayer" back.

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

I'm hoping that they just add a new playlist with one of their game updates; maybe something with TU settings (or maybe 50% of voting options) on DLC and Anniversary maps.

Seriously... I want Bungie back. I want to play my newly paid for DLC maps... FML!!! I guess I'll be playing Skyrim, MW3, AC Revelations, and Gears 3 while I'm waiting for an update from 343.

You know what... I have an idea, how about we get a party together full of people who have the Halo reach DLC, and play matchmaking, and if none of the options show up than we can play them in custom games.

You can only get the first Defiant Achievements in customs...
