Can we have the old Team classic back please, I mean Anniversary Classic is good and all but it just doesn’t have the same “feel” that the old playlist had. The biggest part of the playlist that I miss is the selection of maps, even though maybe they were all forge world created there was some of my favorite maps of all time in there such as Lockout, Midship and warlock.Not only was it the maps but also the gametypes were different and the gravity wasn’t crushing you.
I used to only come on Reach to play Team Classic and was and still is my favorite playlist and I hope that it can make a comeback regardless of the Classic community size.
Yeah, I wouldn’t mind a gametype exploring this idea or having AAs as pick up on the map. But the most vocal players are doing everything they can to turn the game into Halo 3 or are just copying and pasting what MLG said, so you’ll most likely get ignored.
It wasn’t dead could easily get a full game any time I would play it I don’t think that playlists should be allowed to be taken out still had a good 100 players playing 200 at a good time and the playlist was much better than any of the main playlist imo.
The first Classic playlist was great considering how it had to make the best of Vanilla Reach. While Anniversary Classic retains some of the aspects, there should be an improvement taking in the positives of both Team Classic and Anniversary Classic.
First, I would definitely want to add more of the maps from previous Halos, whether they are Forge World remakes or if they were ported over. Team Classic I had a few good maps that weren’t carried over: Derelict, Elongation, Warlock, Lockout and Midship. MLG uses a FW version of the Pit, which could be carried over. Better versions of Ascension/Pinnacle and Asylum/Sanctuary could also cut it. I would also like to see Guardian and Narrows in some way!
While the NR with 110% damage was the best for Team Classic in Vanilla Reach, it would be better to use the ZB DMR with improved settings. The CE Magnum could work, but I think it should have a tweaked bloom so it resets faster, has more range, at least two more bullets per clip and used exclusively (No DMRs or NRs if CE Magnum is used).
As much as I love the Grenade Launcher, it shouldn’t be in Classic. The only other weapons needed are the Sniper, Rocket, Shotgun, Sword and Plasma Pistol. The new OS in the Anniversary should be used as well as a modified camo, lasting at least 45 seconds.
While I understand that some playlists have to be available for those playing via CEA, there should be that one Classic playlist that offers the complete package. Forum discussion made the first Team Classic come about, let’s do it again!
anniversary needs some forge world maps such as pit, or even that midship remake from the original classic playlist. It would even be cool if they added some of the default reach maps, it’s not like it would ruin the gameplay.
the biggest problem with anniversary is that there are only like 4 maps in the 4v4 playlists.

Exactly. I also forgot to mention Reach maps, but only a few (Countdown/Zealot). The main thing is to have the full classic experience (No Bloom/No Sprint) without AAs.
While IMO CEA sucks outside of the maps, The old classic playlist was so broken that it made it very hard for most of the population to enjoy the good things about it. Sure players like you and I enjoyed it, but to anyone who didn’t find Reach unbelievably broken and stupid, it was difficult to see the good in the classic playlist.
Although, now with the TU settings, I find default to be much more fun and haven’t even thought about the classic playlist in the while. If you just miss the maps, I don’t know what to tell you bud, other than play some customs. There are the beautiful amazing new remakes that came with anniversary, that I still haven’t got to play in MM yet, but they sure look like they will be a joy to play.

Anniversary isn’t H3 or H2, it’s CE… Well actually it’s not CE at all, but’s closer to CE than it is to any other Halo game. The pit would play terribly on the settings, and Midship most likely wouldn’t play very well. CE maps differ vastly from any maps of previous Halo’s and were one of the reason the game was so well renowned (because they worked so well with the gameplay).
