Subject: Hold on just one second!

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

One more reason I'm glad I never really got into Arena, Bungie didn't even bother to attempt to fix it, and 343i doesn't bother trying as well. It just a cycle of neglect.

I'm about as slightly above average as you can get.

Arena should use MLG maps.

Arena is my favorite playlist! I'm not very good at it but, its the playlist with less bs! At the low level that I play at Jetpack is not much of a problem but, I can see how it would be a pain in the ass at high levels!

I absolutely can't stand 343 or there forums! They are casual and the Idiots that are the mods are casual also! I'm competitive and love a ranking system and love to kick ass! Halo was not mean't to be "yea we won maybe you'll do better next time!" It was mean't to be " you suck get your ass off my Halo game!"

WHenever I play LD (which is quite rare) I feel like I'm playing with myself in forge mode.

Arena needed correcting at launch and what they did was basically moot.

The real problem came from it being too exclusive to competitive players running 4 deep IMO. The low numbers render the "ranking" system invalid. And the only way to boost the numbers would be to bring in the casual, single, random player. Yeah it's team slayer but the average player is not running 4 deep. It needed to be fun for the random while making it beneficial to run with a team.

Arena is going bye bye if I may prognosticate a bit for Halo4, replaced by a ranked playlist with some sort of visible ranking system.

I feel like I'm in the minority here but, If halo 4 doesn't pull more to the competitive players and have a 1-50 ranking system I'm pretty much not gonna be Interested in it!

I think a lot of people who have left Halo feel this way.

I mean Reach is good in the casual since that I think Bungie Intended! (that's just my opinion can't speak for Bungie)

Me myself I absolutely hate credits for ranking up! I hate the noob weapons and the loadout's that make bad players think they're good at a Halo game!

I want to beat a better player than myself to rank up...I get more satisfaction beating better players makes me feel like I have accomplished something and gives me reason to play the game!

"Before you insult someone, try walking a mile in their shoes. This way, when you insult them, you are a mile away and have their shoes."

Arena Population: 10 (TU fans)
Infection Population: > 10000 (Pre-TU)

That shows why.

Your best bet is MLG or Halo 3 (possibly both). Surprisingly, it is still pretty easy to find a game in most playlists 50 high.

Out of curiosity what do you consider bad maps? SB, Uncaged? Second i agree with you but you can't expect any results if you're not posting on 343's forum

There have been a few big threads on their forums with Arena players asking for things to be changed, but nothing has been done yet.

To be honest, though, I'd rather they just focus full time on making H4's MM the best it can be instead of taking time to worry about "fixing" Reach.

remove arena and replace it with MLG that way people can actually have a ranked mlg playlist even if it is the horrible arena rankings

Well you put time in to the mass not the minority.

Frank O'Connor said he doesn't think the Halo series needs to be taken in a radical new direction... it just needs to go "deeper"

"Ultimately the core game mechanic and strength of the universe doesn't need to be changed, it just needs to be taken deeper. We want to make Halo games - we don't want to make Call of Duty or Ridge Racer. We want to make Halo games because we understand what's special about Halo."

Even if Infection get the TU, It will hace more players than Arena :P

Killer Whale you should know by now they don't care about the competitive community. We can only hope Halo 4 has more of a competitive edge in it.

I don't blame 343 though, they weren't the ones to make an all social game with no ranked playlists. I'd rather them focus on Halo 4 and make it right than try and fix a lost cause known as reach.

Changes to Arena probably won't happen. At all. They gave you 85% bloom,which makes JP even more annoying. Regardless, they are concerned on more populated playlists. It makes sense in a way, though I know nothing about how updating playlists can work. 85% went through pretty seamless. Removing some maps and altering some parts of it doesn't sound too tasking.

I still don't understand why there was a LD playlist in the first place. It belongs in action sack.
