Slayer Pro is anything but

So Slayer Pro is supposed to be a more skilled version of Slayer… Excuse me while I laugh my spleen out. Slayer Pro is a noob’s paradise because all it entails is sprinting and double meleeing or sticking someone point blank and hoping they don’t take you with them (even though everyone else has sprint too). To make matters worse, they usually take place on broken Forge maps (so all of them). This game mode is a joke and is guilty of giving a loadout containing Stickies, only Sprint and encouraging games on terrible maps. Also false advertising but I’ll let the legal department sort that out :wink:

Slayer Pro is incredibly bad as this instructional video will demonstrate - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFDSiy2Arkc

The only problem is plasma nade starts

It took you that long to figure it out?

> It took you that long to figure it out?

I hardly ever play Slayer Pro. This was the first time in months (and last time I got people who actually used their DMR/NR. I know, weird right?)

Remove 1 frag and 1 sticky. Also making it have melee bleedthrough.

That will make it more pro.

In its current state, it should be called Slayer Throw. The plasma nade loadout ensures this gametype descends into the most gimmicky style of action sack gameplay. Just take the guns out and it would fit right into action sack (not that anyone ever uses them anyway).

All that needs to be done to fix it is to remove the plasma grenade in the NR loadout.
It really is that simple.

its pro compared to the other built in alternatives. all of which consist of everyone being forced into mind numbing radar camping and taking turns spraying each other down with ars. complete, of course, with free rampages for the 1-2 players who spawned closest to the instawin or the cant lose since nobody has anything to teamshot them with and radar buffs their cant lose from something that can lock down a room into something that locks down half the map.

it is regrettable that bungie lets noobs have sticky spawns in slayer pro, but honestly, at this point, what does it matter? reach was designed at the core to be as person friendly as possible. even if all the incredibly obviously stupid things were fixed, the game would be just as broken due to the secondary stupid things.

It’s not the playlists fault. It’s Reach’s.
