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.


So agree. 343 have removed 3 of my favourite playlists and bungie removed what? 1 or 2 playlists that were limited time only, if grifball and invasion are removed it's bye bye reach.hello halo 3. still h3 action sack is still there :)

personally i like invasion the way it is but look. spartans with 3 shot kill pistols at 1st objective. 2 the dmr at obj 3 will dominate the banshee and will stop most elites getting near the core. the list goes on for a bit

Well, I was making tacos so, I'm not sure about the other guys.

Does anyone here have an updated list of game types and maps for each playlist? Ya' know, like Bungie used to provide us. I've searched Waypoint and can't find a thing.

Until then I'll reserve my final opinion on this update.

  • 08.15.2012 7:20 AM PDT

Oh I know what the ladies like

343 are too cool for details like that I guess.

Also, can I has a Headlong BTB playlist. Just headlong. Thx.

  • 08.15.2012 7:31 AM PDT

Demand refund for DLC with the threat of burning down 343 studios if they don't.

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

Lame. They actually took out action sack.

Thanks, but that hasn't been updated yet. At this point I'm assuming they deleted the previously mentioned playlists and did not alter the remaining ones.

  • 08.15.2012 9:22 AM PDT

We knew this was happening, but it does suck a bit more with it being done.

I'm not a hardcore player, but I have to say that I'm disappointed, because, as I understand, the extra map downloads we paid for are now useless.

More importantly, we could play 3 player on Anniversary BTB, and now, there is no BTB we can play more than just 2 on.

It's not like it takes extra support. I don't understand why they cut anything. Let alone, those 3 extra maps on Anniversary,

Someone fill me in if I am wrong. I never got Defiant or Noble packs to show up anyways.

They cut the playlists down to size because once Halo 4 hits, Halo Reach will have much less players.

BTB has a restriction of 2local players because split-screen causes frame-rate lag.

Immortality: A toy which people cry for, And on their knees apply for, Dispute, contend and lie for, And if allowed Would be right proud Eternally to die for.

Ugh, Why Firefight doubles? It's the only Firefight playlist I liked.

"Before you insult someone, try walking a mile in their shoes. This way, when you insult them, you are a mile away and have their shoes."

Well, out of all the possible things they could have done, they probably did everything wrong. I'm not so sure I want Halo 4 or any other 343 products if this is how they treat DLC, community content, and content updates.

Bro-Hoof Anyone?

Why in the heck did they get rid of squad dlc? Where are we supposed to play our DLC maps now?

  • 08.15.2012 2:20 PM PDT


Posted by: Chrisalex


They removed it because it didn't have a lot of players. Only about 50-500 Max.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

It's not their fault no one bought DLC. Bungie had the luxury of the ODST Mythic disc which allowed for everyone to play on DLC maps regardless.

If it weren't for that then Halo 3 would have had the same problem.

No, we played 3 players with no problem on lag, except the occasional network problem. And we've never had an issue finding players in any game type. Unlike Bond, where all you can play, really, is the team hunt. Most of the other games never get a group going.
