Elite Playlist in Reach as Compensation

There is no denying it, the elite fanbase feels snubbed losing elites as playable characters in Halo 4. I propose as compensation that 343 give the elite players something we’ve always wanted, an elite only playlist but in Halo: Reach. Reach’s population is going to drop like a rock with Halo 4 but if they add this in then us elite players would go there simply for elite slayer and help keep the game alive. Its a win-win situation. If 343 really felt like making us happy they should tweak the playlist so it contains more than just elite slayer: King of the Hill, Capture the Flag, Elite Slayer, BTB, and Team Snipers (using focus rifle instead since human sniper is too easy vs elites) namely with possibly more. With the addition of this elite slayer maybe should be removed from other playlists where it will never get played anyways most likely.

I would appreciate all the support for this that I can get from the Elite Community should you approve of the ideas, additional ideas are welcome of course but lets stay realistic on what might actually get done. There is a similar thread for this on the Reach forum but I feel the Halo 4 forum is the place to go to gather real support.

343 is planning to streamline the playlist selection for Reach when Halo 4 not add more extraneous ones.

Streamline it by removing these gametypes from current playlists where they are currently useless. A gametype like this would actually Increase population in Reach due to all of us snubbed elite players

I don’t know where you think all this population increase will come from.

There’d be like 100 people playing it - get over it.

From anyone who feels like playing as an elite is where it would come from but by your last statement I can tell you would be better off trolling a thread more relevant to your beliefs or concerns

>Gives you the realist POV
>Must be trolling

Lol, okay

He isn’t trolling, it is the truth, most of the Elite fan base will deal with the lack of Elites in Halo 4 and buy the game and enjoy it, while constantly rallying for Elites in the next game, which is fine by me.

The amount of times the Community had demanded something in Halo: Reach gametype or playlist wise and how the population was poor.

Team Classic - Requested, added, poor population.
Zero Bloom Slayer - Requested, added, poor population.
Squad DLC - Requested, added, poor population.
Remove Jetpack from Arena - Requested, added, poor population.
Add Limited back to Firefight - Requested, added, nobody votes for it.
TU Team Slayer - Requested, added, poor population.

To predict the future…

Elite Playlists - Requested, added, poor population.

They are slimming down the number on playlists on Halo: Reach to ensure people can find games without stupidly long search times when Halo 4 is out, adding a playlist that so far as I can see, has only been requested by a small amount of people from 343i’s time in control, is not going to help that.
