The WZA double XP is big here because it’s kinda dead right now hopefully can bring in some players. The weapon tuning playlist I really can’t stand because the br is just way off. BTB I enjoy but it won’t give much xp but might still play some

Double exp sounds alright. I think I might stick to Warzone Assault. Sounds like nearly all the games will be playable now but we’re only missing 1 Halo now…Spartan Strike. (The fact that’s it’s taking so long makes me wonder if the spin-off series sold poorly)

I believe you are forgetting Halo 2, and no one is talking about the H3 playlist really? How about that Community Playdate!?

I don’t know about y’all but I am looking forward and will playing in both.

Yes halo 2 would be awesome if it came backwards compatible it’s my favorite game. I think people aren’t talking about the h3 playlist because we don’t know if they will make it a true classic playlist ? The anniversary playlist comes to mind but guess we will see

Wish my Xbox one didn’t go haywire so I could play the H3 playlist.

I actually thought about posting something last night, but was too tired and have been super busy today. There are some important announcements I agree (mainly the backwards compatible information) but overall I found it to be a pretty tame update.

Glad BTB is getting the double XP treatment. Would much rather play BTB then that unbalanced, the rich get richer, garbage Warzone mode (minus firefight) that’s for sure.

One of Gh05tayame’s last projects before leaving 343 was working on the classic playlist that’s launching soon. It comes with a bunch of re-created maps from the forge community and specially tuned settings to mimic Halo 3’s gameplay - this means no abilities and no sprint.

Oh really ? Well if Gh05tayame worked on it then the settings should be really good. I’m looking forward to this now. Thanks for the info

They should use the BR’s weapon tuning playlist settings for the H3 classic playlist. That’s probably the closest we’ll get to the H3 BR.

No they shouldn’t that br is horrible, there should never be random spread in an fps. Even pros that competed in h3 commented on how the br was inconsistent in h3 especially online. That’s why when MLG took over they modified the damage to 110% to make it more consistent. The weapon tuning BR is a good idea but take out the random spread. The low rate of fire and low magnetism would be enough

I was only being semi-serious, but the default BR we have now isn’t a great starting weapon either.

Please, clearly he was kidding, and don’t highjack my thread to talk about the Tuning. Go to the tuning thread for that, thanks.

This sounds pretty hopeful. I am not a huge Halo 3 veteran. I have played it only sporadically and I terrible at it. It should be interesting how the playlist goes.

Wow, way to totally disregard what I posted. Come on dude…we know what you want already you don’t need to post it multiple times in the wrong thread.

Yea that’s true sorry if I wasn’t clear I would like a middle ground between the two. Keep the lower rate of fire, remove the random spread, lower red retical range and bullet magnetism

How can any one like my Xbox went haywire? Oh cause now you know you won’t have to play against me in match making… Hahaha :slightly_smiling_face:

Im really excited about H3 playlist can’t wait anymore to play it

Yes! BTB is now a featured playlist for the weekend. Hopefully I can find games there more quickly than usual.

A Halo 3 playlists coming in the coming weeks? Lets see if the playlist will try and mimic the gameplay of Halo 3 with some exceptions.

It’s hilarious how little of this sentence I understand
