343i has posted the info on next playlist update. Dosent look good for Team Slayer so far, at least not for us that wants 100% TU settings. But 343i is planing on making us players decide the future for it to have 100% TU based on player voting data.

I love the effort that 343 is putting into Reach.

Hardly and a little bit too late.


Though I was surprised with the amount of changes this bulletin had. Nice fixes on things a number of players wanted.


Still no Arena changes though.

we need more of

~ alpha zombies board walk.
~ alpha zombies sword base.
~ alpha zombies the cage.


I'm surprised the old maps weren't completely replaced by the newer versions last month. Thank 343 for removing Sword Base.

I also saw friendly fire is being turned off, too many kids got mad after being betrayed.

Once again, I see no changes for Invasion. I wonder if there is any hope for that playlist.

Probably not for Reach, though Halo 4 might have something like Invasion.


And it might with Reach once a certain someone finishes his map. ;)

Not possible.

343 realizes Arena blows hot dick. Thankfully they're just letting it die.

Always up for REACH customs!

I like their "let the players decide" attitude about TU in Team Slayer. I hope more Matchmaking decisions are made that way.

Why TU isn't being applied to Squad DLC or Invasion though is a mystery.

Why they would replace the banshee in headlong with a revnant. Way to ruin BTB more than it is. Let me guess it was the same people who complained about the tanks on Hemmo or Banshee on Breakpoint. I'm done with the casual piece of trash and the casuals that play it.

They did not replace the Banshee on "Headlong" but on "Breakneck".

Did you not read? ;)

I did and it's stupid. Because Headlong is slayer only. Breakneck is mostly objective 1 bomb. Both teams had equal advantage for the banshee and it really was something you needed to help with map control. Hey let's just put the Revnant there. It is completely useless on that map since it is literally a huge map with lots of latitude.

"Angry Angels, Honour & Loyalty!"

Even going "against the tide", I have to say this:

One of the things that makes the multiplayer of Halo 3 still better than others is still good?

After all this time, the maps are the same!!

We can still get the BR or some nades in the very same spot, even with years of interval between games. There, I said it.

The more you mess with something, more chances you have to ruin it, even with good intentions.

Good old ppl from Bungi once said (decades ago): keep it simple!
That worked and everybody STILL loves CE, Halo 2 and 3...

Thats just me...
