Subject: Halo Updates

just looking for a quick update on what has changed about reach matchmaking over the past couple months. i found myself bored after reaching a high, pointless rank, especially with so many frustrating aspects about the game. i guess im wondering if the following aspects of the game has changed:

bloom

armor abilities

arena

movement speed

jump height

map updates

playlist updates

or anymore major things that have been adjusted to offer a more enjoyable halo experience. i appreciate any insight offered

Everything in reach has changed

There's always room for you, If you want to be my friend.

Bloom is only 85% in most playlists.

Evade has been taken out of most playlists.

Jetpack is (soon to be) out of arena.

Jump height remains the same.

Only the lol living dead and big team maps have been updated.

There is a new playlist called super slayer, it is 85% bloom team slayer.

Yeah, there is a ZB playlist other than MLG, but it still has armour abilities (other than evade).

You can also try Anniversary. Sometimes you'll get games that roughly resemble CE style game play.

Oh yeah also for squad DLC I believe you just need the noble and defiant map pack to play it

Reach is still bad. Continue playing CoD.

I'm not gonna start an argument, but CoD is most definitely worse. they just released a 6-map map back that im sure is worth $20. at least 343i is continuing to try and listen to the community. there are very few community driven organizations out there, i would hope bungie taught 343 a thing or two about that..
