Subject: March Playlist Update - It's huge! Goes LIVE March 6th 2012!

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

It's quite clear that 343s target audience is 12 year old retards.


Well anyone older or higher IQ than typical Infection/Grifball player gets instantly banned.


-blam!- this, 343i can shove their "Super slayer" up their ass along with Renova and other retarded maps it comes with, I'm done with Reach now, we'll see if Halo 4 brings back the balanced competitive gaming, or continue catering to idiots. See you on Battlefield 3.

the update is a fail

Everything you know is wrong.

Why does evade get the boot when clearly AL and jet-pack are an atrocity?

  • 03.02.2012 6:44 AM PDT

~ Videogames are my favorite videogames ~

No more all-powerful Evade?
No more Bleed Through?
BTB and Team Objective getting some love?

I think I'm going to like this Update.

For The Lulz is a worthier cause than For The Win.

From the skies to the ground, I'm the one that'll reign destruction down on you from behind the wheel and the flight stick. Keep your eyes on the rear view mirror, or you may be eating exhaust aside the road, riddled with holes.

My sniper is hungry for souls.

If at first you fail, fail again so that you succeed by wrapping your fail around the continuum into the win zone.

I like how they give us absolutely no explanation why evade was removed from Spartan loadouts. It's not like it's everyone's favorite AA or anything...

I can't believe evade is gone. Bleedthrough being gone I can get. Reach wasn't built for bleedthrough, so the current bleedthrough system just felt awkward, random, and slapped-on. Hopefully they re-implement it so it actually feels right. Removed Squad Slayer? Okay, well, I don't play SS much, but, still, WTF? Why? Super Slayer...okay, whatever. It's TS with less retardation. I'm okay with that.

This is mostly a pile of meh and awful. The only thing I can really get behind in this update is BTB Heavies. I missed my Scorpions...so very much. I'll probably be playing a lot of that.

But, really, NO EVADE?!!

Ah, someone leaked. Now to find the leak and.... plug it.
With justice.

I use coup 5
Never Played halo 1 = Invalid opinion
Bloom isn't whats broken, its your idea of what good is and your opinion
Thats like saying uber nerf armor lock because like 20 percent of the community hates it. Oh wait..................

Tru7h. C4RN4GE. Bungie.

So excited for BTB Heavies!

I can't wait for the spawn-killing complaints. I predict they will be on the rise.

Lame

Killing squad = killing matchmaking, for me. It was my favorite playlist by far: good maps (without the plague of crappy forged maps that infected team slayer); good armor abilities (i.e. no armor lock); good game settings (I like playing to 75, it feels better than 50, which is over kind of quickly). Team slayer or super slayer is no substitute.

  • 03.02.2012 12:34 PM PDT

Squad Slayer is literally all I play. Huge disappointment.

1. They need to update MLG too.
They can't because it belongs to MLG Only. 343i will need their permission, first. Plus, MLG said that they didn't want to update to the new settings of Reach.

Ever wonder what's up there?

Because they've been working with zero bloom and bleedthrough since November. Of course they won't change the settings before the March circuit.

That doesn't mean they did like bleedthrough to begin with, having nades and melees even more OP now.

No Squad Slayer, no bleedthrough, and Heavies ruining BTB? Yep, I'm gonna be playing this game a lot less. And that was already barely at all.

I absolutely love how the AL scrubs are claiming that AL has basically been done away with due to the TU settings .... so those of us that played Squad, should be content with this new Team Slayer replica playlist.

So now after I've put 4 DMR shots in this AL'ing trash, I have to toss two or three grenades at his ankles while he's there blowing himself and praying for his boys to come rescue him, just to get him out of the -blam!- and into his respawn screen? How the -blam!- is it even remotely fair that I am dead in 5 shots but this scrub is dead in 4 shots and 3 grenades?

Why doesn't 343 just let these -blam!-heads spawn with a 3x overshield, or is that the plan for Halo 4 multiplayer?

Anybody, including those at 343, who can't understand how unfair and unbalanced even nerfed AL is, should be given a handicap sign to hang in their vehicle and parking privileges, because walking and thinking at the same time is obviously a difficult task for them.

Unless Squad is brought back, I'm either camped in FF and forcing kids in the Doubles playlist to play Limited with me, or I'll be in BTB in a wraith spawn killing the random scrubs that are responsible for this idiocy.

If you have to use labels like 'Retarded' to describe anyone who disagrees with you, Then your arguement has lost any weight it might of had, and I personally will assume you are just trying to get a rise out of people.

Also to those who think that having a high KDR means you're beast; just the fact that boosters exist is a prime reason that any thumbless noob can achieve it throwing the 'my high KDR validates my opinion" logic out the window.

Good riddance to evade and bleedthrough. Evade was just a cheap duck behind cover, and Bleedthrough was annoyingly unnecessary.

Every single pummel I have is unboosted.
I play GGL. (Grifball)
I hit inheritor 14/1/12. 16 months after release. I have a life fellas.
Every single killionaire I have is unboosted. 22 from grifball, 4 from LD.

I like everything besides two things on this update.
- Grifball updated.
Grifball was updated with 3 maps (2 Dash + 1 Blargball) and a new gametype known as Hand Egg. Hand Egg is just codes for "You can now get splats in Grifball."

Evade removed.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! My baby!

Man seriously I got 1,600 games in Squad, what the f'ck I'm gonna play now. Sure as hell though it isn't super slayer. Anyway ME3 is dropping next week so it really doesn't matter.

AL will always be an absolute abomination. There is no 'fixing' it or nerfing it. It's still an invincibility button. Honestly it has been made no less annoying with TU settings.
