Subject: What did you think would happen before Christmas?

Harass the harassers.

Poll: What did you think would happen before Christmas?  [closed]
Reach would fall on the charts.:  52%
(15 Votes)
Reach would stay the same on the charts.:  31%
(9 Votes)
Reach would climb the charts.:  17%
(5 Votes)
Total Votes: 29

The one where a few select members foretold of a drop on the charts for Reach. I promised to return so that we could finish that discussion when the first numbers for the year were released. Here they are and if I remember correctly, this was predicted by some and doubted by others.

Wonder if they will show up to talk about it?

Do we really care?
Perhaps you dont, however there were several forum frequenters that did care and challenged me to show up here and post after the numbers were released. That is why I am here and I noticed you didnt vote, no opinion?

RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

Adding armor lock and dropshield to the Arena playlist is one of the single most retarded ideas I have ever heard in all my time on any Halo forum.


Maybe if the objective was to reduce the population of Arena to 50 players at peak hours, that would be a great idea, but doing that in no way helps the playlist.

Armor lock and dropshield just add more randomness to the barely skillful settings used in the Arena playlist. And adding those doesn't cancel out the automatic height advantage of the Jetpack.

Removing Jetpack is the only logical change when it comes to the Arena and AAs

Right, so making it just like the TS playlist but with rank, would only have 50 players in it.

Ironicly, sometimes when I play in the morning currently, I look at Arena's population and 50 is fairly close to the amount of players in that playlist.

I dont know what is in store for Arena, but if removing JP is the best idea you got for bringing players to the table, good luck with that =/

You forgot that the competitive players left BECAUSE it is default Reach.

Default Reach is horrible for competition. I doubt you will find any competitive played in the Team Slayer playlist.

Of course a lack of a permanent rank is also a deterrent.

But alas it it is too late to bring anyone back considering how many players immediately gave up on Halo when the Beta was released.

I'm just saying making Arena even worst than Team Slayer is worse than doing nothing at all.

Here is my vision, MLG=Arena ranking, home of the hardcore. Arena= pickup powered ranked play, basicly MLG with 85% bloom and radar, competitive playlist. TS=Arena ranking for Reach gameplay for semi casual players and casual.

Everybody=happy.

Real account.

Join me as we make new friends from different communities!

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

I didn't have a damn to give.

And then we get to the problem that Bungie's Arena ranking system made for itself.

The rating system, that requires players to play four games in day for five days before adding them to the list of players that ultimately decides a players rank, is fundamentally incompatible with Objective games.

It can't be turned off because it is used to measure the number of games a player invests in Arena and after the required amount, it then rates them. Without it it would not rank anyone.

This same system can't be used with Objective games because it was built from the ground up to only support slayer and if MLG were to get the Arena system, then it wouldn't be able to keep the objective games it currently has.

This another problem the Arena system caused. In Halo 2 and Halo 3 there were multiple ranked playlists.

With Halo: Reach there is only one and it is that way because of Bungie making the Arena system.

Plunderfuq posted that on in VVhale's fixing Arena thread. He said it would balance out the Jetpack advantage and fix Uncaged, Swordbase, and Reflection.

As long as I can find games, I don't care how low Reach's population gets.
