Does Sanctum lag?

I remember seeing some scrims with Neighbor and friends on that map in the early days. I thought it was going to be in the final game.

I'd say put Sanc from MLG in, but I kinda like having the grass.
All flat terrain is kinda an MLG thing.

Bungie created the host-selection system.

And you know this how?


LOL, Mains kids

I've never had a problem with lag on it. It's basically a better Asylum. Or a Sanctuary with grass.

Download it and try it for yourself.

It's pretty awesome. I think the spawns might be dynamic, but I might have had teams off.

  • 02.13.2012 5:02 PM PDT

Arena should be removed.
























And replaced by ranked MLG. It'd be a perfect compromise to the problems of both lists.

Anyone who claims the AR takes skill ought to shoot himself in the head. Preferably with the AR because they'll most likely miss with any other weapon.

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.


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.


100% agreed.

Hi.

You could make Arena the most orgasmic -blam!- ever and it wouldn't get past a population of 1,000. That'd be a completely stupid effort to waste, imo.

Competitive Reach is -blam!- ed. MLG is pretty damn good (despite its small as hell population), but they're not going to waste their time and I don't blame them.

MLG's population has always been small. Even back in Halo 3 it pretty much peaked at about 1100 any given day. The only highly populated ranked lists were Team Slayer/Doubles and even then it's only because it was regular Matchmaking settings.

Separating the ranked list from the others and placing it under a strange name (Arena, as opposed to Slayer) took away from the casual crowd that would have played it and gotten hooked. Now only true tryhards actually go into the list.

Already have em, but they are WAY too tight to wear on this forum. I'd get banned. That's why I just wear my 'vicious sarcasm hat' instead. Monster.

Yeah, but this is all irrelevant because neither Bungie nor 343 has ever controlled the MLG playlist.Posted by: An average gamer

Solution: Make default MM settings actually compatible with competitive play once again.

The only people that still play Arena are flat out cheaters. If that's what it takes to be a true tryhard, so be it.

tbh I'm not even sure what I'm arguing right now. ^_^ Too tired.

It should say something to you that the only people who play the only ranked playlist in Halo: Reach are cheaters. Not very many people care about competitive Reach. Even when competitive Reach works really well (Ex: MLG) not many people play it.

What it needs to succeed is more... hype. It works well as is in MLG (although I think no-bleedthrough should be brought back to make it the most competitive, but that's another can of worms), but nobody cares about playing Reach competitively so nobody does. Call of Duty, for example, gets lots of hype, as does Starcraft, so competitive settings are well followed. It's not the same in Halo.

  • 02.13.2012 5:53 PM PDT

They try to fix or change what is popular. Arena is probably the least popular playlist.

Because they left it to die for months and months.

There are so many variables - just a ridiculous amount - to where I think it's just a guessing game trying to figure out exactly why something like this is the way it is. All that happens is people push a view that enforces their own values and beliefs about Halo, and no one is ever proven wrong. :/

I guess.

They're finally fixing Living Dead???

Finally. Sheesh, I've been having to hide in MLG for the longest time.

  • 02.13.2012 6:12 PM PDT

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

Infection always has a high population, that means it's a "popular" playlist in the eyes of 343. This is the reason why Premium Battle was taken down; low pop. They seem to not care about Arena just because hardly anyone plays it anymore.

Well they let Team Classic die before CEA came out. Maybe they're just killing the Arena so they can bring ranks back? lol
