"In Halo 3 not all 50's were good players, but all good players were 50's."

Your opinion is invalid.

They are fixing infection? Are you -blam!- kidding me?

The playlist that casuals play and then forget what happened in the previous game as soon as the next one starts? The playlist designed to make you hide on Reach's awful default maps while spartans roll around like idiots with shiny knives?

But, they aren't fixing Arena?

THEY AREN'T FIXING ARENA?

They removed betrayals and two awful maps THAT ARE STILL IN ARENA! I have never once seen someone complain about how unfair Living Dead is. It's just sooooooooo unbalanced. Simply unplayable. My brain hurts from the stupidity.

And then we have Arena. The playlist that hundreds of people have wanted fixed since Bungie was in charge. Why don't the bad maps in that playlist get removed? The playlist I gave up on after my thread for a quick fix got dozens of replies about how good the idea was, and 343 did nothing.

Welcome to Halo Reach where we balance the casual playlists and the competitive players can go -blam!- themselves.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

MLG is better anyway.

Cause infection is where it's at apparently.

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

LD population > Arena population

I haven't seen very many threads about the Arena lately. Forum kids are all focused on TS vote. Maybe if it was discussed more they would pay more attention.

I was one of the main advocates for an Arena fix and even I gave up after Bungie and 343 completely ignored the pleas of hundreds of members. All they had to do was remove jet pack and the bad maps and a huge number of players would have returned to Arena.

By now I've given up and moved on to MLG and lots of players I used to play with have just stopped playing Halo.

Arena's population is so low because 99% of the competitive crowd left it because of the awful maps and settings. Yet it gets no attention from 343.

LD's population is so high because it doesn't need changing. Which makes me wonder what 343 is smoking in their development room. Little kids will play it no matter what the settings.

343 seems to be guessing as to what the community wants. From what we saw on bungie day, the developers rarely play their own game and have no idea what competitive gaming is.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

343 doesn't know how to manage playlists. They work on the ones that have the higher populations, and ignore or remove the ones that have lower populations.

It should be the opposite: they should work on the playlists with low populations to try to bring them up, and leave the heavily-populated playlists alone.

Lieutenant in the ArchAngels clan. Contact tidalrider for information regarding joining.

I don't see why you care about Living Dead and Arena that much, I mean, Arena pretty much is MLG Jr. You, Educable, Throttle and Jeremy wrecked me and Sniper stupid this match anyways, I think you're MLG material.

MLG and Arena are quite different.

^ This, 100%. Fixing Arena would have been a lot more beneficial than pitting the casual population against the competitive population for control of Team Slayer.

Why fix ranked slayer when we can just cram the entire population into social? That's what the competitive players want - random recruits. And cat memes.

i played halo 2

as i see it 343 is negotiating negotiations in a sense. lets take armour lock for example. You can still be INVINCIBLE for however long but theres ways to shortened the length down of armor lock and when you get stuck by a plasma you cant bounce that off.

but theres still one thing..... YOUR STILL INVINCIBLE BY HOLDING DOWN A BUTTON. I dont think people understand, you cant die while in armor lock end of story. unless one of the reasons i stated above. This game caters to the casuals and people who love the color grey..

now b4 you reply saying stuff about avoiding armour lock i already know how, its just that im too lazy to type it all out.

oh yea why the -blam!- is hog race in multi team, put that in action sack or some trash!

Please...stop getting butthurt when I noscope you from the passenger seat of the vehicle I'm riding in :D

The "bad" maps that you're referrig to didn't get removed because some of us despise the maps you like, like that garbage map called Asylum. I'm so sick of that map.

They should put in a version of Asylum that has a good frame-rate.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

So what maps should they keep in the Arena? Are there any community made maps that might be acceptable for the Arena?

They need to get rid of Reflection, Uncaged, and Swordbase at the very least. Fixing Asylum should be done as well.

We like maps that play well.

Asylum plays well without jetpack (which needs to be removed).

Sword Base, Reflection, Uncaged all play like sh­it.

Idgaf if you like a bad map. It's still a bad map.

I'd say put Sanctum in instead. It plays so well.
