What update could you possibly want? Nothing more they can add to this game will make it suck any less. I really don't care what they do to this game, I just want them to focus on Halo 4.


Some of us would like to return one day, and still have all the options available when we do.
I'd rather playlists and gametypes be merged than outright removed so we can have that.

(To discuss Halo 4.)

Why the hell did they take away Action Sack? It was its own playlist. It had tons of game types.

Why can't do what COD does and put people with DLC with others in similar situations, and then give the option for DLC maps.

Instead of 10 types of Slayer Playlists I would prefer to have Action Sack back.

Reach screwed up with the play list options. It was good in the first 2 months before Black Ops but then the population dropped by 1/3rd and it became a lot harder to find a game.

Halo 4 better fix this. I hope 343i have learned their lesson, Halo 4 seems to be lesson learned, Reach style. e.g. They nerfed a lot of things that were in Reach and put them in Halo 4.

Why Bungie, why would you do this?! - Halo Community

Gotta feel sorry for about the few people with just anniversary and not Reach. I'm still shocked they would touch BTB Anni, it was very popular.

Why on earth would they kill BTB Anni. and then leave something as utterly useless as Anni. Firefight (and its ONE map). Nobody who only owns just CEA wants to play that crap, at least over BTB.

343 if you were my girlfriend after showing me those pics you would be out the door. i mean the playlists left suck

They are removing a couple of playlists that are almost required for achievements. And I doubt many people will play Headlong and Timberland in Matchmaking ever again.

So they can't maintain game options b/c they are too busy with H4?

Don't remember Bungie doing something like this before Reach was released.

Perhaps a different set of priorities.


Bungie did do the samething before Reach came out. They removed many playlists. The only thing they kept up with was double xp weekends. Let's wait and see if that stupid cr jackpot stays up.

Reach wasn't theirs to begin with. Sadly, they probably don't care as much with their own baby right around the corner.

I still wish Bungie could've at least held onto Reach for these kinds of things.


So they would've kept everything default? I would've quit sooner.

Nooo, not action sack D:

Infection and invasion are standard playlists lol.

Standard is just vanilla Reach, Evolved is TU.

  • 08.09.2012 8:53 AM PDT

I'm hoping that Evolved playlists have some sort of DLC requirement.

It was one of my faves! Along with Anniversary BTB!

We should have a "Populate Action Sack Day" before the update goes live.
Who's with me?!

Bad memory then

Girfball exists, I'm happy with it.

I <3 Halo:Reach - amazingly fun and best campaign + amazing Soundtrack
I <3 Halo 3:ODST - best soundtrack + Firefight + Coastal Highway and Mombassa Streets, amazingly unique campaign.
I <3 Halo 3 - best multiplayer levels + Forge + best Custom Games + soundtrack
I <3 Halo 2 - amazing huge fun campaign + soundtrack + Fun multiplayer
I <3 Halo: CE - started it all

Seriously whats the point of removing these playlist :/

According to 343, you need 1000 people per playlist at any moment, or else that playlist is gone.

No. I don't feel spending more money on sub-par maps. Noble is garbage and Defiant has that Invasion map going for it, and nothing else too special. CE maps were the only ones I bought and the only ones I plan to ever buy.

I do understand your reasoning though, because Reach has such an awful DLC system and 343 can't make up their mind on a DLC playlist. (Till now, obviously). However, I don't want to be forced to play...Vanilla, bleh.

343 really just needs to grow a pair and put in a DLC playlist, they seem to chicken out on everything that might make the Waypoint kids angry. (*cough* ZB Bloom *cough* Bleedthrough *cough*)...or it doesn't have 1000+ people at a time, like NoWise pointed out.

And now that their next game is coming around, they are stabbing pure CEA'ers in the back, as expected.

The invasion map is part of Noble.

  • 08.09.2012 1:07 PM PDT

basically it boils down to if you own dlc forget ever playing on it again. No one even votes for dlc in regular playlists on the small chance it even shows up. When it does sword base still gets chosen -_-

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Posted by: huskyguy
My first thought was "Oh for -blam!-s sake".

My second thought "Where are the DLC playlists?".
Well then I guess we all have to hurry up and get the DLC achievements before Tuesday.
OT: Mixed emotions on it for the achievement reason, unless they don't delete the maps you can get them on.

So, they say that achievements are a factor in these decisions. Then they remove DLC focused playlists, so it's going to be harder to get the DLC achievements?

The actions aren't exactly backing up the words here.

You just have to put up with this for 2 months. I wish they would have put Evolved on top though

Well, when Halo 4 comes out, predict the Action Sack population? 100, 50? Reach's population will be a mere 2.5K-10K. Halo 4 will probably have it's own fun playlist
