August update a disaster

Bring back FireFight Doubles!!! The new options are horrible!!! This August update was a total disaster in my opinion.

We need the entire august update gone.

I sometimes know friends that like doubles, I miss my btb big team, I hate this update. I have been playing reach since the release, this the first time been annoyed at 343i since I thought they would think Bungie’s mess but instead they alienated the people who bought the dlc.

They removed underpopulated playlists, if these playlists had enough players playing them in the first place, they wouldn’t have been removed.

Here’s a better idea add all dlc playlists into one playlist, btb big team was not unpopular.

Action Sack and BTB Anniversary had more people in them than MLG.

Try again.

Well, the update is here. I’m not to effected by it, but the one thing I’ll miss most of all is Firefight Doubles. I really liked 2x Score Attack. But, it’s here, and so I’m going to get used to it.

I’m looking at MLG right now, over a thousand players, Action Sack never had that, even at peak times.

As for Anniversary BTB, I can understand people complaining about it, but it was TU & Anniversary settings on three maps, the population was good, but a three map BTB playlist?

Said it once before = dlc only playlist (defiant+noble+cea map packs)

Squad DLC comes to mind, it was once again, underpopulated, when Squad DLC first launched, it had Anniversary required, it was later removed and made optional due to people complaining they couldn’t play it and it had a low population, even after, the population still sucked.

They really need dlc playlist back in some form. If they make it in the normal playlist I wish I could demand complete removal of forge maps to make room for higher chance of dlc maps to show up.
I’m trying to be polite to avoid demanding but I paid for the flipping dlc.

Plus removing these maps will make it impossible for others to get certain achievements, find it annoying the way there handling the servers.

Super Slayer, Team Objective, and Arena are under a thousand. I can see reasons to keep Arena around, Super Slayer, not so much, when everything is Slayer in Team Objective anyway.

Edit : Co-op Campaign and Anni Firefight as well could have been given the axe. No other Halo game has had Campaign in matchmaking, and it’s often too laggy to even play. 302 current players? Yeah, glad that stuck around :confused:

Edit the second : Just saying, if they were <mark>only</mark> using population as the reasoning for this consolidation, they could have made some better choices which make more sense. Much like Anni BTBs 3 map playlist, Anni Firefight was a single map, and honestly I’ve seen Installation 04 and Unearthed come up in Firefight more often then DLC in other lists, why they kept that one instead of Doubles baffles me.

The update was not necessary, Why fix what’s not broken.

Why take away all those wonderful gametypes etc… WHY!!!

Oh, really? They removed it?! Because of low population?! Well I don’t give a rat’s -Yoink-! They may have not promised exclusive playlist to dlc, because it’s normal to inculde it, then do you buy it, to play alone in custom games? Well, if they removed the playlists, which some were horrible and plain stupid btw, then they can give back my MS points and have their maps back.

I loved firefight doubles aswell. been playing it loads because 4 player firefight lags too much and now they have removed it!. Now im not going to be playing firefight again thanks to this stupid update that nobody likes.

Me and my sister and everyone else on the forums is dissapointed with this update as far as ive seen. I really hope they bring back FF doubles. The only thing i played was that =/. I had faith at first but now it looks like they are removing all these playlists and destroying peoples enjoyment just because halo 4 is coming out soon. Just because of halo 4 doesn’t mean they have to ruin Reach which ive loved and enjoyed since release until now where im not enjoying at all because of this update!

Also remember when you bought the map pack and it said no refunds, me too.

I don’t remember, didn’t even knew that to be honest… well, that’s it, no more halo for me. At least for now… And one more thing, why are you supporting them? Or did I got the wrong impression?

I believe he/she is supporting the removal of the playlist(s). Im fustrated with this, just bought the maps today hoping to get in on the BTB annnnnnd… its gone. No point in doing this, what can they gain from removing it? only a loss in profits from people thinking of buying the maps. regret getting the maps now.
