Subject: OPinions on the objective playlist in Halo Reach (obviously)?

~:O>~~

The playlist only has between 200-400 players on it, but when I went on from a quick diversion from my typical Arena/MLG/Doubles/BTB/Classic/Sniper playlists I think I've personally discovered one of Halo Reach's biggest strengths in one of it's most under-utilized playlists.

The map, armor abilities, and everything about the game I think was intended to be played with an objective in mind, cause if you think about it- when your playing as a team and you have the availability of the AA's to choose from- it feels a lot like playing World of Warcraft (although I haven't layed in 2 years), in that every teammate had a particular purpose and was relied upon in a unique and discerning way. This is expemplified when everyone has a particular goal or purpose that everyone is working and moving towards. It amazed me on how focused and purposeful everything in the game felt once there was a goal in place (because I mainly focused on Slayer or some variant of that gametype)...

so after playing Team Objective it feels like a whole entirely new game altogether, one that is more enjoyeable, cohesive and less frustrating.

Walk by faith. Dude. Not by sight.

Team Objective is very fun, especially with a full team of friends.

Actually yeah... there hasn't been a game where at least one or two player aren't using their mics, as opposed to almost every other playlist where there's a bunch of mutes. It's definitely more vocal in that playlist regardless of having less players in it...

I used to play it with friends all the time, then it got boring.
I think it's a mixture of the same gametypes and maps, and the lack of good competition.
Finding a game against a good TO5 is always good though

Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

Team Objective has always been a great play list, except it has always had a small population.

This was true for Halo 2 and Halo 3.

I have always enjoyed Objective and is one reason I play BTB mostly.

REACH has way too many playlist, by reducing to about 8-10 you would get more people into the other play list.

As REACH does not have a Ranking system, you probably only need 6 play list.

BTB/Invasion to be 1 play list with 12-16 players.
Team Slayer
Team Objectives
Rumble Pit
Hardcore - This would be SWAT & Snipers
MLG

And weekends could have an extra play list for Griefball and Infection which could rotate week to week..

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

I've always really enjoyed Team Objective and agree that many aspects of the game were designed with an objective based game in mind.

Great game types, great fun!
