The changes in Team Objective are beyond unnecessary. To be blunt, the new changes made ruin the competitive spirit of the game type. While I am well aware of the Objective population being dangerously low, Team Objective has always been at its best in a 4 on 4 environment. The additional two players really destroys the objective environment that I’ve known and loved from Halo 2 until now. Also, if the population is so low, making the game player size larger seems irrational to me.
Beyond this, the removal of evade has eliminated any variety in Team Objective.
I genuinely feel this was part of the update that was made needlessly. I have no interest in playing Reach anymore unless this is fixed.
This is a pretty personal change too; nothing has felt more like halo to me than playing Objective with three other friends. That tight-knit group feeling of teamwork seems completely gone to me.
