Population? Bull-blam!-! I've managed to find games even in -blam!- Anniversary Squad and the dumbasses over at 343 removed it for no reason, same with Squad Slayer. What kind of drug are they smoking?

And why FF Dubs? Seriously, why? I've started to get into Anniversary FFA and lol343 decides it was best to remove it. It was one of Reach's best playlists and BAM! It will disappear in a couple of days. I -blam!- lol'd at this update, seriously.

I doubt H4 will have action sack on launch.

Honestly, this is a good cover up for all the idiots who won't know its a cover up .

Running Reach into the ground so we'll have to buy H4 when it comes out.

REBEL!

So much of Reach's potential was lost due to piss-poor playlist organization, dreadful DLC integration, and an inexplicably bad and incomplete selection of community maps. What a depressing end to what could have been a much richer multiplayer experience.

This sums up my thoughts as well.

But I doubt any one will want tp put down Halo 4 just because it doesn't have Action Sack. It may have a custom game search???, but it will eventually be up. If Halo 4 blows, people will just give up on Halo, really. It's not like MOST will go back to Reach

You seem to be forgetting Halo 3.

I understand completely. What's also to blame is their awful kid-flooded community, where they are filled neck-deep with "i wanz livin deadz". It doesn't take a genius to figure out what certain FPS they are trying with every fiber of their company trying to copy.

RIP good playlists, rest in pieces.

  • 08.09.2012 6:14 PM PDT

Its kind of sad to hear bad things about Reach. As it is one of my favorite Halo games (Bungies last one too). The playlists at least, are more organized; but Action sack needs to stay. I love the odd gametypes after awhile and Dino blasters was a blast.

Its an "okay" update for sure.

The only one of those playlists I'll miss is annv BTB. Just because it was cool to jump in and play some Headlong every once in a while.

This would actually be a good thing. If they made Evolved all DLC required and took out the forge maps, that'd be the best thing to happen to Reach in a while.

Agreed.

I think it is complete bull-blam!- they are taking away Action Sack. Swat, Snipers, and Action Sack are the only things I can remotely stand in Reach's matchmaking. I also don't understand why they are removing Firefight Doubles. I was on it last night and there was nearly 3500 people in the playlist. My husband and I and love being able to play together without other people.

Anniversary BTB retired? I understand retiring Ann. FFA because that was often the lowest populated playlist on Reach. But BTB? Ridgeline, Breakneck, and Hang 'Em High are some of the best maps Reach has seen in its rough 2-year journey. I'm sad to see them go. What will happen to these maps? Will they behave like other DLC and only show up when the whole lobby of 16 has them, meaning once every 100 games?

They took away Action Sack? Now how the HELL are people supposed to play Splockets, Shotty Snipers, and Power Slayer?

I'm honestly very disaapointed.

Congrats 343, you really screwed the pooch this time. I give Reach 6 months before it becomes another Halo 3, only this time it will only have taken half the time it took 3.

Halo still isn't dead, but it's now more than on the table in need of resuscitation. It's in a motherf***ing coma.


Also, this post pretty much sums up the way I feel.

Don't worry Halo 4 will suffer the same fate.

You can still do that with Firefight arcade. All you have to do is turn on search restrictions.

What's really odd is when I went online yesterday to see what had been changed, none of what you guys have said had gone. All of the playlists were still there.

Aah right. Well it looks like I'm only going to go on Reach 4 days a week now then.

Someone clear this up for me PLEASE. Does this mean no more of certain achievements. Such as the headhunter one for anniversary because without FFA we can't do that one and a bunch others in other map packs.

You can still earn them after 14th but it will be harder to get a DLC map due to DLC being unpopular.

Still too many playlists...

If I like you enough, I'll mail you a Subway Sandwich. If I hate you, expect a -blam!- nuke.

Honestly, they are probably trying to keep the playlist with the most players so that this game has the basics when Halo 4 comes out.

The only people who stay on Reach, if any, would only play these playlists anyways.

Complaining about the achievements? How many months has it been since CEA's release and some of you still don't have them all? Not everyone has to have all of the achievo's but let's face it if you don't have them all by now and you care about it NOW that's your fault. When they all came out there was a plethora of people going around grouping together to help people with them, you should've cared then and it would've been an effortless endeavor.

If you got to x360achievements.org and search the achievement trading forums for Reach you could probably still find many people trying to help get them even now when the playlists are gone but of course it won't do much help this late in the game's time. You should've gone when CEA was released.

I find it funny how people continue to bash 343i as well when they are trying to finish Halo 4. Bungie did nothing and 343i tried to make this game fun for a lot of different types of people. It just isn't aging as well as the other Halo games. It really does feel like a cesspool but I have moved on to other games and Halo 4 is just a few months away.

A MAN CHOOSES, A SLAVE OBEYS.

Reach was in far better hands with bungie... They should strip out the TU from everything and bring back Reach to how it was when bungie was running the show.
