Where are the Map Pack playlists? I wish 343i would make a playlist for players who purchased all the map packs, or a playlist with only the Noble and Defiant maps. What do you guys think?

lol343 removed them. Good luck finding the maps in matchmaking, I've only seen Noble/Defiant maps around 3 times since December.

There used to be a Premium Battle playlist.

343i removed it.

That's why it's so -blam!- ridiculously hard to get the Defiant achievements that come with the Anniversary map pack. Condemned and Highlands never show up.

You know your a Halo fan when your first thought after hearing a flood warning is "where is my shotgun?"

You are genius. Sticky this thread please, I've always hated how Halo's DLC is handled. We have ten new maps and for some reason I still play Forge work maps. Screw the people to cheap to buy dlc, give them a throwback playlist with like two game types, let us paying customers have the full variety of Reach maps

Because 343 is stupid and claims that you'll match up with those with DLC more in other playlists to play the maps, but I've only played them 3 times over the past month. Noble and Defiant are nothing but money grabs now.

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

Should've combined the DLC with the anniversary and make them required for that playlist. Profit!

YES SERIOUSLY!!!

I was about to post a topic about this.

It is absolutely idiotic how the maps were handled. I want Premium Battle and Premium Slayer back. I spent money on those maps for what? I spent it to expand on the maps I would play in game.

Such a slap in the face to customers and a bull-blam!- money grab by a overly rich company.

Exactly! I honestly hate the way 343i is handling Halo's map selection.

Your argument does not make a whole lot of sense unfortunately...
You do realize those who play the default list actually had to purchase Reach to play the non-DLC maps in the first place?

I do agree that 343 could have handled this way better though. Do we actually know how well/bad these two map packs sold? As I recall pretty much nobody played them.

So you think Reach is an actual Halo game, huh? LOL
Jesus! There's a BoB in ma Falcon!

Why did 343 remove the Noble and Defiant DLC's from MM anyway?

  • 01.03.2012 1:03 PM PDT

Barely anyone played them. Which I don't understand as most default maps are really boring. Especially when compared to the Anniversary DLC.

I'm not too cheap to buy the maps I just know they will never show up in MM so I didn't waste my money. Besides, other than the anniversary maps there all terrible. Bungie never did figure this out and I don't expect 343 to either. I think they will have to change the way MM works to get them to come up consistently.

Playlist idea:

DLC required, no forge world maps at all
6v6, slayer to 75, and some objective mixed in
Play as Elite or Spartan (can have mix on each team)
Elite Loadout: NR, PP, 2 stickies, Evade
Spartan: DMR, Magnum, 2 Frags, Sprint

Book it. Either that or at least make Squad Slayer DLC required.
