Why does everyone like the TU? It takes zero skill. With bloom you had to pace your shots, but now everyone can spam the trigger and 5-shot you every time. No TU in Team Slayer or Invasion.
Yes, because randomness is good.

PSR = (((K+A)/D)*Win%)*120
The average player's PSR = 100

MatchMaking Update:
Team Slayer changes. Make your voice heard!

We are in the process of deciding if the Team Slayer playlist will be updated to TU settings. This continues to be one of the most popular playlists, so we are not taking this decision lightly. In an effort to get player feedback that's as accurate as possible, we are going to pull voting data over a two-week period.


Ah this is what I like to call: The revenge of the armor locking grenade spamming noob.

So does this mean once we choose nameplate we will never be able to change it again?


I sure hope not!

I couldn't agree more. I can barely put into words how frustrating it is.

Why, may I ask? It's not like they're important.


I earned some of them, like playing the beta.

That's the thing about randomness; you're likely to get either result.

So a vanilla game that plays the same every time and is "consistent" is better than one that forces you to pace your shots? With the new TU I can spam the trigger and every shot hits, even at a distance. Stop trying to make the DMR a BR.

Snipers and Shotties

Not bad.
Is it (or will it be) possible to view your Halo 3 armor and ODST character on Halo Waypoint?

Does flaming people on forums count as an esport?

How should you know anything about a DMR when your tool of destruction is melee. Consistency is good, and that's why the hitscan weapons are good. With bloom, if my reticule is on you and I squeeze the trigger, my shot will hit. With bloom, it may or may not. TU is 85% bloom, not much more than Vanilla Reach. I personally like the TU better than Vanilla or ZB Reach.

In an effort to get player feedback that's as accurate as possible, we are going to pull voting data over a two-week period.


To do that, we're removing one of the voting choices. That will leave you with one vanilla choice and one TU choice. We realize that ties default to the highest voting option, so in order to balance the results, vanilla will be the top selection for the first week, and TU will be the top selection for the second week. Once the results are in, we'll analyze the data and make an informed decision.
Well, I know I'll be searching TS with a team and voting TU every game.

Anyone else?
Same here, can't wait until TS is finally playable.


Don't you guys already have... 10 playlists catered to you?

TU is hitting Team Slayer?

I'd almost consider hitting that playlist up if it weren't plagued with retarded maps that I'd be dashboarding out of 75% of the time. lol, Lift Base and Campdown.

Also, considering the amount of dudes who used to 2's trick their way to Onyx and boost, I have no idea why 343 would touch Arena. Between the Jetpackers and Onyx kids searching with Iron kids the playlist is both broken and abused by Reach's lovely community. There's no fixing it.

The TU will undoubtedly make the playlist better, but nothing will change the fact that in any given match half of the players will use AL or camo. And if that wasn't bad enough then there's the maps, like Myth said, with gems like swordbase and eden prime it just isn't worth it.

Every single pummel I have is unboosted.
I play GGL. (Grifball)
I hit inheritor 14/1/12. 16 months after release. I have a life fellas.
Every single killionaire I have is unboosted. 22 from grifball, 4 from LD.

Banshee being replaced on Breakneck? Seriously?

With a Revenant, and there is a sniper on Breakneck and they haven't fixed the Revenant snipe glitch. Breakneck I'm pretty sure is half the size of both Renegade and Hemorrhage, so quit crying.

SwordBase is getting removed from Infection is a bunch of BS

Hell no. Sword base was they very bane of my existence of Living Dead. Get good at Uncaged or get out.

Congrats 343 you just catered to the nerdraging kids of Halo. Hows it feel to be worse then Bungie now...

Your like screaming kid in a soundproof room. Nobody can hear you.
I know many people through Grifball that work their asses off to keep that site up, and the community too, and the good thing is, nobody has a little pick at anything and there being several hundred threads on the particular topic.
Here, tell somebody who cares here.

Need players for TS(tu), cant keep a win streak for -blam!- as a lonewolf.

Voting TU out every chance I get. Less skill = Less fun.

And what the hell are you thinking not giving an option to vote in rumble pit. Your ruining the game with TU it makes me think you don't realize what you had to begin with and listen to these stupid forum posts way to much. Have a nice day.
