HALO: REACH PLAYLIST FEEDBACK MASTER THREAD
For playlist update details, visit the first reply here
Playlist specific feedback should be directed to the correct thread:
COMPETITIVE
CO-OPERATIVE
COMMUNITY
ANNIVERSARY
BETA
This thread looked better than mine, so I changed mine. 
I like all of the new fonts and whatnot we can use.
Anyway, hope to see some feedback on the playlists. Some of them need an overhaul.

I posted some feedback in the playlists 
and in your map threads.
I’ll probably have to play more to give better, more in depth feedback and in a larger variety of playlists like I did with the maps.
But yes some need an overhaul, some could be removed/combined into another. More could REQUIRE DLC and more could be RANKED.
To start off we need more DLC required playlists. I hate buying a map pack and barely playing it in the norm playlists. Another thing that would be nice is to see the return of Ranked/Social, like in halo 3. Even if you have to use the arena rank system for the playlists, it would be better than nothing.
A good format would be this:
Ranked:
Team Slayer
Lone Wolves(FFA)
Team Snipers
Team Doubles
Swat
MLG
Team Classic???
Social:
Squad/Social Slayer
BTB
Rumble Pit
Team Objective
Living Dead
DLC
Multi Team
Action Sack
Grifball
Invasion
I would also love to see the return of weekend playlists. Also instead of those credit jackpots, could we get “Double Credit Weekend” where you earn double the credits you would have.
And Forge maps should only be in social
Very helpful, gave you a “thank.” Way too many threads to go around looking for the specific one every time.

I would make Invasion and Team Objective ranked, considering arena is based on W/L, it’s a perfect fit for Objective type games.
I would also put Grifball into Action Sack, like it was in Halo 3, it also puts the K/D Boosting gametypes together…
And for DLC required lists:
Another change I would do, is to make Team Slayer/Arena be 5v5 without the AA’s and Squad could be 5v5 as well, but with all the AA’s.
Uh oh… you forgot cooperative campaign, I have some complains about it…
Also forgot about Team Classic when we get it back on the 15th. Just because it will be new DLC dedicated, doesn’t mean we can’t have some of the old classics that have been forged by the community as well. I know someone named nillapudding has made a small number of fantastic remakes I would love to see in there.
Weekend playlists should be brought back. A different playlist every weekend was great in Halo 3, and would allow some less popular gametypes to be played. They could also have the bonus jackpots on as well. There could be playlists like:
Rocket Race
Team Fiesta
BTB FFA
Flagstravaganza
Team Control
Rumble Armory
Multi Team (6 teams of 2)
Rumble Objective
BTB Invasion
3 Ball
Halo Sports
Team Elites
I’m incredibly keen on getting a Firefight Versus playlist up and running! It has the potential for so many good times!

We had one, but the settings were messed up so no one played and Jeremiah figured there was no need to fix it, so he dropped it…
As P.J.Fry would say:
“Fix it fix it fix it fix it fix it! Fix it fix it fix it!!”
i would rater they divide reach into
Vanilla reach with all reach playlists
all the playlists fixed and put into this group
excluding the coop group (campaign and Firefight)
which needs more playlists
classic halo with some classic halo 3 playlists and maybe invasion halo 3 style
team classic
Classic FFA
BTB classic (big team battle)
classic swat
classic invasion (with better spawns to balance lack of AA)
classic objective
classic team snipers
ETC. (all playing very similar to halo 3)
finally true arena with
halo - classic arena
halo - classic arena FFA
halo - classic arena BTB
halo reach - arena
halo reach - arena FFA
halo reach - arena BTB
all using some of the features of the reach TU
and good quality halo 1, halo 2, and halo 3 remakes with more community maps
Competitive (For working god, need Rankin 1-50)
MLG
Team Slayer (No need arena)
Rumble Pit (Its FFA)
Team Swat
Team Snipers
Team Objective
Double Team
Big Team Battle
Community or Social (Thats cool have rankin of Reach)
Squad Slayer
Living Dead
Grifball
Action Sack
Multi Team
Invasion
Score Attack
Firefight Doubles
Firefight Limited
Firefight Arcade
DLC
Premium Battle
Beta (when 434 need test some take)
Tu Beta
Ranked Playlist would be nice,
> Lone Wolves
> Double Team
> Team Slayer
> Team Objective
> MLG
Or merge Objective and Slayer, just have a Team Ranked set.
Those are the ones that need to be in, others could be
> SWAT
> Snipers
Social Playlist
> Rumble Pit
> Team Slayer
> Team Objective
> SWAT
> Snipers
> Living Dead
> Race
> Double Team
> Multi Team (6 Teams of 2)
> Multi Team (4 Teams of 3)
> Big Team Battle
Again merging Slayer and objective could be done. Possibly merge SWAT and Snipers into Slayer.
Others could be,
> Action Sack
> Elite Slayer
> DLC
These are playlists i can think of, there maybe others that can be added. The reason i say merge playlist into others is so that there aren’t lots of different ones, which will lower populations in them all.
The gametypes need to updated every month too, so that the gametypes not being picked are changed and fresh maps to replace ones that aren’t being picked.
More maps in general would be nice, I’ve left a post in the maps section about what i think would be a good idea for getting new maps. Rebirth and Kingdom were good maps to play, where are they now in the playlists? Treasury, is another that is quite good fun to play.
I still think AL is too OP, nerf it some more.
I’m glad that so many people agree with me that we need multiple ranked playlists. I’m just trying to feed that fire. 1-50 would be great if it’s possible to implement at this point. The biggest thing for me is that your arena division isn’t visible outside of arena unless you look deep into the service record. You should make it so that it’s right there on the name bar for everyone to see in all playlists. I think that would encourage people to play arena more. Since people that don’t have a division will feel left out.
Why is cliffhanger being removed! This is total crap, why would you remove a map just because some people dont like playing on it, while others love it. Why dont you just lower the rate it comes up and let players that dont like it not vote for it… Cliffhanger is the most fun for slayer or ctf that I have on any forge world map. You guys suck.
