Or at the very least, heavily decrease it’s frequency. Seriously, it isn’t fun and I could think of a multitude of better games that could be in Action Sack. Every time I play, the only things that come up are Team Hotshot, Power Slayer, and Haloball. All of which, IMO, suck. Where is Shotgun Assault? Also, I rarely get Splockets (one of my personal favorites.)
Does anyone recall how much more awesome Action Sack was in Halo 2 and 3?
P.S. I realize it’s Action Sack but it should honestly be treated with the same respect as any other social playlist. It should also always belong to the community.
Action Sack just needs more gametypes and map combinations, less repeats and more seeing new things.
There’s plenty more to add, and I don’t even think the Defiant or Anniversary maps are present in the playlist.
I’d say it needs more gametypes, because I love Halo 3’s Action Sack and there are quite a few gametypes from it that I would love to see in Reach.
I personally love Hotshot, but it could maybe use a reduction in weighting, because it comes up a lot!
I love playing team hotshot, but I also realise that it needs to be removed. This gametype is a prime example of the snowball effect in action. One team will get power weapons use them to get three heat. Eventually what happens is one team has four assault rifle monsters at three heat, while the other team can just cower in fear.
It’s the only gametype i can honestly say the AR is useful. Burst firing and all.
The focus rifle is insane with 3 heat, 2 second burst and you shred anyone. I like the variant but there should be a larger downside to having heat than decreased movement. It gets a little unfair when you have 3 heat and they have none lol
Team Hotshot is great! Makes you care about the other weapons instead of focusing solely on the DMR. But it still needs some tweaks.
We should design maps around the gametypes. Also, look into the options, see what we can play with. Maybe make it that killing a player rewards you with their “hot points”. So if you kill someone at 3/3 you’re rewarded with 4 points. Or maybe just killing the person in the lead rewards you with 5 points. There’s also an option so that the person in the lead has an arrow above their head. So you’ll always know where the other team is if you’re losing.
343 should get rid of hot shot or the other slayer thing and add
BLAMITE FIGHT
everyone starts with unlimited amo needler. (still has to reload) and it’s slayer with that.

I hate the Needler.
… And that sounds like an awesome idea.

That would be fun…
And the BLAMITE FIGHT thing, my brother came up with that after we did local FF with needlers/needle rifles.
