PLAYLIST FEEDBACK: Action Sack

Please discuss the Action Sack playlist here.

More good maps can never hurt.

I don’t play it enough to give great feedback or know what needs fixing. Its a mess around playlist anyway.

Although, I think it might be nice if there was a “Laser Tag” playlist, which only had a Laser as a weapon. Depending on the map only Sprint, Jetpack, Hologram as AA’s. No Armor Lock. Maybe Evade.

Yeah theres “splockets” but everyone just uses jetpack rockets and no one ever uses laser besides me.

> Could maybe even add in “Team Swords”.

NO!!! they tried this with To The Death and it.was.awful. please don’t bring it back!!!

bring back Team Fiesta and more of the fun Action Sack games like Team Stickies! H3 had the best Action Sack games ever. :frowning: (and before i get told “go play that instead,” i do. that’s not the point.)

> More good maps can never hurt.
> Wasn’t there a Laser/Sniper gametype in Mythic Brawl or something in Halo 3 as well?

Yes, but everyone just used the Sniper anyways. The only people that used the Laser were those going for the Two for One achievement.

That was with stupid damage resistance and crap.

Fiesta would be nice and stickies were fun.

We’re having a Fiesta!!! God I loved Fiesta in 3…can we bring that back? I might play Action Sack more than to goof off. I actually couldn’t tell you the last time I played AS, or what gametypes are in there… hmm…

Shotty snipers in it’s own playlist would be nice. Sucks when I go in there for that and it takes at least 10 games of Halo Ball before I can get it.

Yeah, shotty snipers is really bad.

Add the Classics! Good memories <3

Team Sumo

Dodgeball

Stab-Out

Team Sticky

Zeus-Run for cover

If you have played Action sack from halo 3 You know what i mean :slight_smile:

Good lord Hog Potato needs some work.

Complaints: It has default weapon spawns on Hemorrhage. Meaning that there’s always some Yoink! who makes the game miserable by deciding to up his Sniper K/D ratio.

Ignoring even that: You have to take down a Hog with only ARs and default player traits. Instead give us faster movement speeds, Sprint/Evade Loadout chocies and Gravity Hammer/Concussion Rifles starts. Set all the Mongooses to respawn as fast as possible. Also: Indestructable vehicles.

Now we have something that’s worthy of Action Sac.

Needs more gametypes that say “Action Sack”. I dont exactly think Power Slayer, Shotty Snipers, Rocket CTF, Shotgun Assault, Speed Flag and a list of other things say that too well. Team Sumo, Dodgeball, Dino Blasters, Halo Ball, Splockets, Speedpile, Boom Ball, VIP, Avalanche, Flushing, Crash-Up-Derby and many others do say “Action Sack”. Just wish we could see more of those in there. It would actually make the playlist more enjoyable and more people would actually want to play in it.

I love the gametypes in H3’s Action Sack. Yes, a lot of Reach’s gametypes are fun (I personally LOVE HaloBall Xtreme), but H3 has some awesome ones!

In Halo 3, Action Sack was all the wacky gametypes that the custom game options could create. In Reach it has become all the gametypes that won’t fit anywhere else.

It needs the best from H3, like Team Fiesta and Team Sumo, with new gametypes that are now possible in Reach like Avalanche, so it can live up to its name.

I like action sack in reach, but i loved it more in halo 3. My main dislike in reach sack is that when you give people a heavy weapon the only thing there brains thinks is go crazy and kill. I talk of course about hockey and halo ball.when ever i play hockey only thing my team and the opposition dose is run around killing each other, and the same can be said about halo ball. Yes in halo 3 you were given heavy weapons, bun in halo 3 you were meant to kill with them like in zues. And why is shotty snipes in action sack?

I don’t care for Reach’s action sack. Its actually frustrating and not that fun. I haven’t played on that playlist in a while but the last time I did the only gametype that seemed genuinely action sack was dino blasters. Halo 3 had a better action sack. I remember punchout and all the other whymsical gametypes.

Bring back the VIP gametype.

Team swords would be great if it was like H3 swords. The “to the death” type was awfull because of all the overshields.

Pit Of Joy, FTW!

Hopefully in a little while here I will be able to compile a list of maps/gametypes (with provided links) of what I personally think would be the best maps/gametypes for the playlist to really make it what it should have been from the start.

And yes, there will be a V.I.P. type game in the bunch too.
