um wut? so doing as asked and participating and voting is being vindictive and "stuffing the ballot box" ???

343 asked you to go grab a full party and grind more Team Slayer than you've ever played before, and then abandon the playlist on the 22nd? (That's who my post was directed at/about)

breathe life into this title
lol get real - at this point they should be focusing on keeping population. Maybe implement a social/competitive hopper, even if it's just the hopper names, to draw in some older players.

here's to hoping halo 4 will save us.
Here's hoping they don't -blam!- it up.

Here's the wonderful thing about casuals, if we changed everything in Reach, so that it caters to the more "hardcore" players. The casuals wouldn't even notice, they'd simply unknowingly adapt.

'Cause the casuals seem to love that word, ADAPT.

btw - my gt = inner ted

i'm awful. mediocre at best. certainly not MLG or anywhere close to it. my k/d is right at 1 or just below.

i am the definition of a causal player.

and i love the zero bloom / bleedthrough and reduction or removal of armor lock.

so why again does that make me a dick?

If you normally play Team Slayer I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to the recent massive influx from all the TU playlists.

I got nothing against players choosing to vote for TU. I have issue with players doing everything within their power to force the TU on TS without any intention of actually playing it once the change has been made.

Wacky why are you so butt hurt..

"Looks at Reach record"...
"Looks at halo 3. High Skill 18"

That explains everything. Why does it matter to you you still play bad Tu or no Tu. Casuals enjoy the game no matter what.

Halo CE and 2 were loved by both sides of the spectrum, and were the best titles in the series for competition. You're mad 343 isn't Bungie. Stop being a blinded Bungie fanboy.

H3 and H2 had health as well, and 'bleedthrough' (ugh, stupid misnomer) worked the same there as it does here, carries remainder damage from shields onto the health.

It doesn't fully regen for Reach Spartans (but it did in H2/3) and it's bugged, so health packs don't always technically refill your health. Sometimes it's just the bar on the HUD that gets changed. Or something like that.

This new "influx of TU players" isn't really that much, since I thought we were just the minority, anyway. They're the Infection kids playing for the jackpot, really.

I'm voting TU for TS so I can play my favorite playlist again, and not have to worry about the brokenness of Reach.

Reach has the capacity to be too. It just needs a social/competitive split. Team Slayer is widely regarded as the social playlist. Why would you want to get rid of that? You've got the TU in plenty of other playlists.

Because people don't like default Team Slayer. The maps in Reach are made for 4v4 not 5v5. You know simply put if people didn't enjoy TU and the "majority" Wanted default. Guess what, we would be playing default.

They certainly make themselves apparent on the forum. And actually yeah, the ones with low k/ds do seem to be infection kids. All voting for vanilla though, as far as I've seen.

Well that's fine. Just as long as you actually intend to play it. It's the asshats that are going right back to Arena when this vote is over that I'm pissed at.

The population indicates otherwise.

Not sure I follow...
You know simply put if people didn't enjoy TU and the "majority" Wanted default. Guess what, we would be playing default. I should be more clear. The majority of Team Slayer players. I figure that's about half the overall population. Now I imagine my point makes a little more sense.

It's social 4v4. Of course the population enjoys it the most. The maps are built for 4v4 and it works. It has nothing to do with bloom or pre-tu. Guaranteed the population will stay high you wait and see. The maps take- zealot. Are really small maps for 5v5. It's really hard to enjoy a map when you have 10 grenades flying at you and you really can't position much. The way I see it is more people wil play TU because it will be exactly like SS but better. SS will close bringing TS up to 20,000 at one time or more.

What's with the 5v5? Squad? Doesn't Arena have the TU yet?
I understand where you're coming from, but wouldn't drawing those players to Arena be just as effective? It's the ranked slayer. I just see a big population that didn't change to the TU in a position to be alienated in TS. The TU Beta had a terrible population. Why should a different title change that?

Except most players can agree the "Arena" has been a complete joke for many. It's not just arena players voting in TS to make it Tu. I would like TU put into TS and I play SS quite often. The TU beta had a terrible population because is had default settings with 0 bloom. It's not really our fault 343 is pants on head retarded when they decide to implement terrible settings. Look at DLC 100% bloom and coop campaign had a better population.

causals don't even notice a difference between 100% and 85% bloom

Seems to me you would want to improve the low population playlists like Arena (or remove them) before screwing around with one of the only ones that can maintain a reasonable head count.
I see - the 5v5 thing is because you like SS but want 4v4. Arena should be able to fulfill your desire. Arena is what should be fixed.
Are they changing the physics properly now in their TU implementation? After that beta I haven't had any desire to try it.
I don't hate the TU. I just feel it is incomplete, and that it's less popular than vanilla amongst the lower skilled players that make up a big juicy part of my 'victim' population. Not that I prefer easy games, but I don't mind carrying my team as much when the other team aren't pulling their individual weights completely either.

Indeed. The TU really got my attention back to Reach, much less BS than Vanilla Reach.

  • 02.09.2012 10:02 AM PDT

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

Just back from playing a few matches.

I dont mind 85% bloom. I just dont want ZB as default. Ive been voting against TU every match unless the only other option is elite slyer or a map i dont like.

  • 02.09.2012 10:35 AM PDT


Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.

We could, but we'd be overlooking all the playlists other than TS that already have the TU. If TS goes TU, it's customs or Invasion (with both of it's maps) from then on.
Vanilla players deserve a decent playlist. I don't see why Vanilla TS and TU TS can't coexist. Other than for the fact that it pisses people off that the Reach they hate still exists. Even though they have plenty of alternatives.
