[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TurtletronPrime Bungie why do you always do this. You take a good thing and fiddle with it until it's terrible. You want to know why people keep choosing Slayer Pro in arena? Probably because THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT TO PLAY. Armor abilities tone down the competitive atmosphere significantly, and assault rifles more so. Don't make arena as boring as the other gametypes, it's really the only reason I go into matchmaking. [/quote] I love you.

I disagree with people who say that unlike SWAT, snipers isn't chosen very often. Based on my game history last night, on BTB, Snipers was chosen more than SWAT. Snipers really needs a playlist. I've only driven the Falcon ONCE, out of playing BTB over and over and over and over and over. I love that vehicle, and it isn't put into enough maps, at least with the type of games that are always voted for in BTB. Also, the inevitable future MLG playlist needs to have sprint as the default armor ability.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Paladin52 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TurtletronPrime You want to know why people keep choosing Slayer Pro in arena? Probably because THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT TO PLAY.[/quote] I don't find people choosing Slayer Pro very often. Most people like the regular DMRs option more often. Also, I am sick of plasma grenade noobs in the Pro gametype. It seems I always play against people that choose the NR so they can get plasma grenades. And then I destroy them because they can't stick me very well.[/quote] So disagree with this. I have played very few Slayer DMR matches and for the first day or two everybody chose Slayer DRM's because they had no idea that Slayer Pro started with DMR's (honestly me and my friend yelled at at least 20 kids for arguing that Slayer Pro isnt DMR start). Granted I'm only one person. But if Pro really is getting removed from arena, ill play social until i get the last two achievements and quit this game, unless they happen to make a MLG playlist again, or do a Pro playlist.

Agreed.

AWSUM DUDEZ! I loved that update.

har har :F

The update looks good overall, and I'm glad to see some steps being taken to account for community concerns like the OP tank on Hemorrhage and the lack of a dedicated SWAT playlist. Unfortunately, I found myself very disappointed in the section addressing the credit system. I'm eager to see a Bungie employee's thoughts on the because system's inherent unfairness to players who play online at least once but usually play offline. I think a significant (if not enormous) portion of the community is affected by this, and given Bungie's usually excellent track record for listening to the community, I'm very hopeful for a reasonable method for primarily offline players to earn credits to be implemented in the future.

Sweet update. Can't wait for a new podcast now. Must play more Reach. It'd be nice to have a new podcast to listen to WHILE playing Reach. Even lacking a podcast though, update was super awesome.
-

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DHS O12 Tony Thank you Bungie for Halo: Reach's campaign, it was amazing I finished last Friday (haven't checked Bnet since 9/13). And thank you for the entire Halo series. [/quote] BTW the end of Long Night of Solace was awesome but sucked in its own way, Jorge was my favorite of Noble Team. P.S. what the hell happened to Jun? [Edited on 09.25.2010 8:37 AM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] The Shift Key The tank change on Hemorrhage cannot come soon enough.[/quote] Go play Halo: CE for PC (so you can experience it with other people) first, then complain about the tank. [Edited on 09.25.2010 8:38 AM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ClassicDanLies Clearly, many people on here love the tank on Hemorrhage, myself included. One of the best parts of the game is grabbing the tank, racing to destroy the opposing tank, and taking control of the middle. Even if you lose this opening power struggle, it's fun using various loadouts to approach the enemy tank and destroy it. There's nothing like boarding a Scorpion, planting a grenade in its rear and opening a path for your teammates to storm through. Who wants to give up such shades of fun? That said, Wraiths launching plasma projectiles across the map would be visually interesting, and add a 'hope I don't get randomly asploded' battleground feel to the game. Could be cool, but does it have to be at the Scorpion's expense? How about keeping the tank but adding 'Covies' as a voting option? Leave it up to the players to decide if they want Supreme Metallic Death Machines or Sexy Blue Fire Rain.[/quote] That was beautifully stated.

Awesome ^_^ Love the sounds of the playlist updates! Glad to see SWAT, now we just need Snipers, and Lone Wolves arena! =)

And AA's or AR's don't tone down competitiveness. In fact, the competitiveness results from a drive to win - regardless of weaponry or equipment.

Did you notice that when he is showing us how to save the game to the hard drive, there are 59 achievements for 1250 gamescore? oops, didnt carefully read the previous posts, sry [Edited on 09.25.2010 7:52 AM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Xx 3ndgegner xX 1. remove swat from normal slayer playlist cuz there is a SWAT playlist coming? seriously?[/quote] Well, yeah. You want to play SWAT, then go to the SWAT playlist. [quote] 2. where is a sniper playlist...?[/quote] Unlike SWAT, where everyone votes for it even when I want to play something else, that isn't always the case with Snipers. However, I am sure that, given enough demand, it will come eventually. [quote] 3. wtf who wants rocket race playlist??? rocket race is bull-blam!-![/quote] It didn't say they were making a full playlist for it. Likely, they will just add it to Multi Team. And some people enjoy it, and if you don't vote for something else. It isn't a problem to include it. [quote] 5. weapon balancing? the AR sucks so much... the DMR is just a -blam!- host weapon and the focus rifle... no words for it.american players shoot 2seconds at you and you die and we europeans can shoot like 5 secs and the enemy is still not dead...[/quote] Yeah, that lag sucks. Of course, that's the problem with playing [i]across an ocean[/i]. Suck it up, man. It isn't like Bungie can control lag across the entire internet. [quote] now all of you can blame me for my post. go for it!!! thats my opinion and idc what ur thinking about it. so go kids blame me.[/quote] "blame you"? Do you even understand English? Regardless, yeah, you can have an opinion. Doesn't stop it from being debatable, wrong, or even stupid, though.

Why was slayer pro removed from Arena? Also, why hasn't a soft kill zone been added to the top of the sniper towers on Asylum? With slayer pro out of the mix, the sniper tower is going to be abused...
