Hey, be fair, I mentioned the Sniper as well. Which, honestly, if you can't stick/snipe a giant flying Spartan, perhaps you should stay out of Arena, hm? Taking out the AAs, slowly as they are doing it, is getting Reach closer to being a Halo game. If that isn't what you want, pick a different playlist.


We wanted jetpack out. I have never wanted to play with any AA(besides sprint in default). All of us just want fair and competitive games.

I fail to see how the game isn't getting closer to providing just that. I've never had a problem with a map giving an advantage to one side or the other, because any advantage is easily overcome with a good team and communication. Which actually would have proved the little Reflection 1v1 pointless. In a 1v1 situation, even I will concede that one person spawning with a power weapon over the other is broken, but in a 4v4, where you have a team backing you up, it's not much more than an annoyance.

None of the maps need be touched. The fix lies with the gametype we play. The addition of rounds to Arena would mean both sides have equal chances as the spawns would switch in the second.

Here's a link to my thread on Waypoint


This is actually the easiest fix, and a great one, but I have a feeling a lot of people won't like it simply due to it being different.

We are used to 1 round up to 50.

Rockets are the single most effective and easiest weapons to get a kill with, and you say "oh just use teamwork to kill him"

Um, what about the other team using teamwork? In an arena setting the teams are supposed to be matched evenly, so you have two even teams with one getting the biggest power weapon advantage in the game.

Your opinion is invalid.

If he's playing with Brightside and Full of Regret than it is him. It can't be Diet C0ke because he was also searching on his main at the same time.

Fax, can we play a game on reflection? I get red spawn. I want to see you win this game. No matter how long you try and run, I will still have rockets.


Ryan is right Fax, it's not like rockets just vanish if not shot fast enough, rush rockets, don't rush, hide, doesnt matter because you will get rocketed eventually.

  • 04.04.2012 2:52 PM PDT

Throttle, we should get on. I will be playing on TC so we can find games faster. Also, we need to find a 4th

ew Bloom
ew Horrible maps
ew Sprint

MLG is the only thing I don't rage at in Reach, and until that becomes ranked I will never play on a regular basis.

Hitscan is very tempting, though. Getting sick of host on H3.

Bloom is way better with 85%. I still prefer NB, but w/e.

The maps are soooooo much better without jet pack. SB, refleciton, and uncaged are the only 3 bad ones now. The rest play amazing.

Sprint isnt that bad.

SantasRevenge is bad

For me, because im australian, it doesn't load the team colours after the voting round has ended.
for example we are red team without knowing, we have the option of sword base or countdown. we cannot pick sowrdbase because we have no clue as to what team we are going to be because the teams load for us after the voting has ended, so we have to get r@ped by host orientated weapons on countdown.
just another problem for me and other overseas players that we have to deal with because of these -blam!- one sided maps... hopefully these team colour loading issue is fixed for Halo 4.

I will never vote for Swordbase, uncaged, or reflection unless the only maps we can pick are a combination of them. Idc who we play.

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

Oh jetpack how I miss ye.

Ever wonder what's up there?

...still complaining about Arena?

Sheesh.

And bleedthrough in Reach was retarded and inconsistent.

I agree, non symetrical maps arethe worst form of arena. The best arena maps now are

Synapse, kingdom, select, Asylum, Zealot, Enclosed.

In fact, those were the only good arena maps to begin with.

I still kinda hate it when in Halo 3 I get a guy one shot and he just AR pummels me in a single second.

"To me, a nice triple kill with the sniper is infinitely more impressive than any Living Dead Killionaire"

Does flaming people on forums count as an esport?

I'm a commendation/achievement/statistics freak.

-David (Drake)

So if Arena is to be at TU settings, based on W/L system, and no jetpack, I see these maps working for it:

Asylum
Synapse
Enclosed
Select
Powerhouse
Reflection (initial spawns altered)
Arena Zealot

Won't these get old though?
