I love TU’s reduced bloom, but super slayer isn’t as popular as team slayer which really bugs me. Is it really that difficult? Let us remember Reach as a staple in the franchise before Halo 4 comes out. Plus the Magnum is so inferior to the AR in standard.

So why on earth do you want to drag Team Slayer down to SS standards? SS is the exact same as TS only TU’d.
People are making it VERY clear which version they prefer and you want to take that from them because it bugs you that more people play TS than SS?

Exactly.
The greater community has spoken. A vocal minority on these forums is the only reason the TU exists.
We need Anniversary BTB, I miss the Headlong remake. Also the DLC playlists need to come back. I don’t understand why 343 made the changes they did.

Because those playlists had an extremely low population and even then, half the population in those DLC maps were playing to get achievements not for the sake of actually playing for fun

This is what I would want to come back to Reach more than anything else. I used to play a lot of Premium Slayer and Battle until they were taken down.

The bad kids have spoken indeed.

Excuse me? It has nothing to do with being “bad” or anything of the sort. There is absolutely NO disputing that Team Slayer is far, far more popular than Super Slayer ever was or will be.
The only difference I notice with TU is reduced bloom, AL, and no sword cancel. Other than that, it’s exactly the same as Reach settings without TU.
Why cant people who like the TU be satisfied with having their own playlist and the only BTB TUed?
> Why cant people who like the TU be satisfied with having their own playlist and the only BTB TUed?
Because it “bugs” them apparently. Or at least the OP.

This whole TU business has made me look forward to Halo 4 even more. Then hopefully we can have a less segregated population.

Actually, it has everything to do with being “bad”. There are more bad players than decent/good ones. They will obviously play the easier playlists. That’s the reason Team Slayer is more popular. That, and the fact that most people probably don’t even know the difference between the two.
Right. And it’s absolutely impossible to even think that people actually PREFER Vanilla Reach to TU, I suppose?
> Right. And it’s absolutely impossible to even think that people actually PREFER Vanilla Reach to TU, I suppose?
They PREFER it because they are bad.
> They PREFER it because they are bad.
Lets spin this around on its head, just for fun.
• Are TU players better because they couldn’t handle the original amount of bloom? They needed to have a TU reduce it to make spamming easier?
• Are TU players better because they get to be less patient when dealing with armor lock spammers? Instead of tactically waiting it out, they can more easily deal with it?
• Are TU players better because they can more easily sprint around with the sword? Instead of strategically using it only in key situations?
• Are TU players better because they no longer have to exercise patience when dealing with a cloaked camper? Now they don’t have to wait as long?
See how you feel after reading all that flawed logic? Yeah, that’s how the rest of us feel after reading your comments about TS players being “bad.”
If anything, the TU makes many aspects of the game easier, not harder. So the bad kids should theoretically flock to the easier playlist, right?

> We clearly could though. The only difference between the TU bloom and vanilla is that the Vanilla bloom has more randomness. I hope you can figure it out from there.
> • Are TU players better because they get to be less patient when dealing with armor lock spammers? Instead of tactically waiting it out, they can more easily deal with it? Armor Lock was OP and was fixed. It has nothing to do with skill. But since you bring it up, I will point out that the people “complaining” about armor lock are statistically better than the players who do use armor lock.

> It’s a power weapon…Sword block was a stupid addition and added nothing positive to gameplay. Again, nothing to do with skill.
> • Are TU players better because they no longer have to exercise patience when dealing with a cloaked camper? Now they don’t have to wait as long?
> The cloaked camper was abusing a broken game mechanic. He or she would never be able to do as well without being able to use camo.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but vanilla Reach is easier than the TU version. The changes made to Reach were done so to correct or remove unbalanced or broken mechanics. Mechanics that attributed to the pathetically small skill gap of Reach. To say that Reach takes more skill than the TU is ridiculous. By that logic, MLG also takes less skill because it does not incorporate the randomness of bloom, or the mistake fixer known as armor lock.
I know you were simply trying to make a point, but you’re simply wrong. This has been discussed thousands of times before, and it has been made very clear which side is correct. Maybe on here you can get away with this nonsense, but if you were to bring up such a laughable concept to players who actually know what they’re talking about, you would be mocked and ridiculed.

Suit yourself. Fortunately, you can easily continue embracing your skill with the rest of the (small) SS population, never having to disgrace yourself with us inferior TS players. I would encourage you to respect that most of the rest of us enjoy TS just the way it is. Call us bad if it helps you continue to feel superior.
A vocal minority, indeed.

Attention 343!
This is the type of customer you pandered to with the TU.
TS population=7282
Super Slayer=524
Shame on you.

Snickers asked, I answered. People always gravitate to the easiest playlists. That’s why living dead is so popular. I’m fully aware that you like the vanilla better. I’m merely saying that the reasoning behind this choice can be easily deduced.
