Founder of Team Reclaimer where we specialize in Big Team Battle and Invasion games. We are all about Communication, Dedication and Fun.
Waypoint: 343 said somewhere that those of us who liked Vanilla Reach would always have an option to play it. These changes that have been made and those which are coming are making it harder to find a good playlist with Vanilla reach settings. I will not play Reach anymore if TU is added to the rest of the playlist. I am still pissed off about BTB getting the TU settings. Now you are talking about putting TU in team slayer, which is about ruined because of the community maps that are prevalent in that playlist.
Also taking the Banshee away from yet another map, NERF NERF NERF that is all 343 can do! They are making this game what Halo 3 was, pandering to the try hard so called MLG players who only want to use the DMR, in Halo 3s case it was those who ONLY used the BR. Making it so every player has to adopt only one weapon. This game was created so that a diversity of weapons and game styles could be played. Bungie wanted to get away from the "one gun rules all" play type. I want to see Vanilla Reach playlist, or even the option to VOTE for Vanilla Reach in EACH playlist. I want Vanilla Big Team Battle, with new maps, such as heavy game type maps with lots of tanks and banshees and lasers and such. Quit removing the Banshee from so many maps, it was bad enough it was removed from Breakpoint. It is almost impossible to get a map with a Banshee unless you play Invasion, which is not getting any support, and therefor that play list is suffering. It needs new maps, you never get Breakpoint on Invasion anymore. There should be some community maps or new DLC for Invasion.
If this kind of stuff continues from 343 there is a large population that will not want to buy and play Halo 4. Especially if Halo 4 has the whole bleed through the shields thing like in the TU. That is the number one thing in the TU that kills game play, the stupid shield bleed through. Make it easy to die because some try hard so called MLG player wants shield bleed through and no bloom.
This is what you need to do 343:
Don't take the Banshee from Breakneck
Take TU from Big Team or give the option to vote for Vanilla Big Team
Give us some Heavy Big Team maps
Give Invasion some attention
Remove shield bleed trough from TU settings- this would be the #1 thing that would make the TU acceptable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Question: why are we stereotyped as MLG tryhards? I actually want a clear thoughtful response.
