I can’t imagine armor lock being a problem in Super Slayer. Armor lock users are probably going to stick to regular slayer since it’s much, much stronger there. Even if they do try it, it’s pretty nerfed.

Too bad there’s no group out there making Arena changes for 343 since they aren’t managing it themselves…or Invasion, etc…

This isn’t hate, this is laughter at the JOKE of a monthly update this is.
And Living Dead Updates? Where does that come from? LivingDeadHub?
And Team Hotshot updates? Where does that come from? TeamHotShotHub?
Ultimately it comes down to 343. And they have royally screwed this one up. Though I’m not surprised.
Technically, the TU is noted in each playlist that includes it in the in-game interface. Anniv. Classic does not have this indicator.

Someone obviously can’t detect sarcasm…
I remember at Reach’s launch there was some complaints about a lack of developer maps. Bungie reassured us that forge maps were the equivalent of actual maps by using logical along the lines of “Trust us, forge world maps are indeed full maps. They’re full maps because we told you they are full maps. We think they are, and that’s all that matters.”
That’s kind of what I feel like I read in the bulletin.
Team Hotshot. This was good. It was really the only issue with the gametype.
BTB Heavy. This is awesome! I really like BTB Heavy and was sad that it wasn’t here to begin with. Glad it has been added.
Grifball. Don’t play it at all.
Living Dead. Good for them. Once again, don’t play it.
Squad Slayer Removal. Horrible decision. Now there is no place for me to go to play a game of slayer without AL. I would have rather had them reduce the teams to 4v4 instead of deleting that one.
Anniversary Squad. Sad to see it go. I liked Ann Classic more though.
Super Slayer. It has AL and all of the crappy, bland Forge maps. Since I only play the TU, I will most likely try it out, but I have serious doubts about this playlist.
Bleedthrough Removal. Worst decision of them all. Should never have been removed. It should have been fixed. Reducing melee to 75% would have been a much better decision. Also, how about 110%/110% damage/resist and 90% melee. That should provide enough protection against the double-derps, while also giving a slight buff to the automatics.

Fixed that for you bro.
This is probably the worst playlist update Halo has ever seen.

I can honestly agree with that, and the fact that they didn’t explain any of the decisions is un-soothing if you ask me.

Loving that this post by Poppin Curbs is everywhere lol. I wish it could be it’s own standalone thread but I see it’s already been locked twice because they’d rather funnel discontent into a corner so that it isn’t evident that people are annoyed about the lack of attention given to playlists that are in desperate need of updates…

I don’t really care about the bleedthrough -Yoink-. I just want Squad Slayer left untouched.

Yes. I don’t understand why they keep everyone in the dark. It doesn’t make sense. Chances are most players here could explain to them what they should be doing with Matchmaking more efficiently and properly than anyone on their Matchmaking Team can.
With the removal of Squad Slayer I now have no playlist to go to in Social that I will enjoy. Currently, whenever I play any other playlist that features Armour Lock or Active Camo after a few times of people duping me with it I just shut off my Xbox and leave…
It’s not fun, it doesn’t make you good (directed at those who use it), and it’s annoying. I love when my opponent has an in-game pause button for when they screw-up or when I can’t even see my opponent cause they refuse to actually ‘fight’ me. They’d rather hide in a corner while invisible then kill me@!!!

^^ QFT. I really did die inside a little bit yesterday. I’m pretty sure my inner halo nerd is curled up in the fetal position somewhere screaming, “Why, 343, Why?!?!?!?!”

;(
Through this whole transition the “Vanilla” kids still had “Vanilla” playlists to play.
Now us “TU” kids have NOTHING. WITH NO BLEEDTHROUGH THERE IS NO TU.
UPDATE ARENA!!! GOOD GOD!! ITS NOT THAT HARD!!!
Evade has been a much more useful AA than sprint for spartans. I don’t know why they took it out, I haven’t heard anyone complain about it.
Also heavies is probably going to be a fail, in Halo 3 once someone got the laser, it was game over.
> UPDATE ARENA!!! GOOD GOD!! ITS NOT THAT HARD!!!
How do you know it is not that hard? Do you know the process that 343 uses to update playlists?
I’m probably going to be playing Halo 3 more often thanks to this update.
I’m sorry 343, but unless a miricle happens and you take your “update” back, then i’m forever done with Reach and all your games after that.
