Chinner, and I think Total has, and I think both in DLC FFA. But yeah, finding an oddball game is REALLY hard.
Yup.

DLC FFA is the only real way to get it, although didnt a bungie member say the frequency will be upped?
 
I'm not a big fan of Squad Battle. It should be cool, but, especially on the smaller maps, it gets so hectic that nothing feels right. Shots and melees are constantly not registering, grenades are disappearing, in the most recent game I played I was crouching in the tunnel on high ground when all of a sudden the screen flicked black, then I was standing right in the open and the score had changed.

Furstrating, and not fun. Only Heavies is fun enough to help me forget all the bullshit that's going on.

Well, back to Team Slayer and Team Doubles for me.

Looks like we'll get a chance to see just how popular that list really is!

(For comparison, Legendary Brawl hovered around 15,000 for much of the weekend.)

Its only been up for a few hours and already has 23,000 playing right now on a Thursday afternoon.

That's 1,000 less than ranked Team Slayer and at least 3 times as many people as every other playlist with the exception of Social Slayer.

I guess GAF was right. Only elitists and MLG people want to play Team Snipes. Not a very popular playlist.

Team Snipers FTW
 
I'm disappointed with this weekend's playlist. I'd prefer Legendary Brawl or some wacky fresh playlist. How about some Juggernaut variants, Shiska? :D

BTW, if Team Action Sack returned I'd be soooooo happy. Ninja Assault (did I get the name wrong?) was the funnest gametype ever.

Yeah cause comparing a weekend hopper to a permanent playlist is a fair comparison. Shit, I think MLG and SWAT used to get those kind of numbers when they were weekend playlists.

Double EXP weekends always have high populations. I guess Legendary Brawl, Fiesta and Grifball should be permanent playlist too. Everybody wants them!

BRING BACK FIESTA
Look at it.

Fiesta
3 Balls
Team Snipers
Legendary Brawl

Which doesn't look like the other? :|

Also, the numbers on Team Snipers at this point is misleading. It's in the afternoon on a Thursday. Wait until Friday evening/night, and Saturday. 23,000 for right now is very good.

NOES TDG, DO YOU NOT SEE? THE COMBINATION OF THESE HIGH NUMBERS AND PEOPLE CONSTNATLY VETOING SNIPERS IN TEAM SLAYER PROVE THAT SNIPERS IS MORE HIGHLY DESIRED THAN A CURE TO AIDS ITSELF. SURELY THEY ARE VEOTING TO MAKE A STATEMENT! THEY ARE VETOING TO SAY THAT THEY WANT IT TO BE IN A SEPERATE PLAYLIST! IT WOULD BE PREPOSTEROUS TO SAY THAT HTEY ARE VETOING CAUSE THEY DONT WANT TO PLAY IT. THEN AGAIN *SNORTS TO SELF, DRINKS ICE TEA AND READS THE NEW YORKER*, THE COMMONERS DO PLAY HALO AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT US *EDUCATED* FOLK KNOW.

Yeah SWAT and MLG had really high populations when they were Double XP.

oh lol now they're permanent playlists.

Especially in comparison to Legendary Brawl which apparently averaged 15k the entire weekend. You can't really expect some of the people here to understand this, Striker.
 
kylej said:

...with drastically lower populations than they had when they were Double EXP weekends. Which I guess would mean that people liked 'em best when they could jump into them for a weekend here and there.

Huh.

Sometimes you try too hard.
 
Can we get Team Hardcore as a double EXP weekend sometime? It's so much better than MLG.

Also, I think Squad Battle has too many heavy variants and slayer. Needs higher weighting for objective games (especially on smaller maps), and it also needs more normal weapon sets with my maybe 2 additional power weapons per map.

Making a Halo movie rated R would be financial suicide. No movie studio in their right mind would do it.

No way, all the kids would beg for their mom and dads to take them anyways. I don't see how they could do a PG-13 Halo movie without fucking it up. Especially with the Flood.

That was kind of the point, but i will accept your critisim because my trolling does kind of stick out like a sore thumb. perhaps i will take it back to YCS or so.

Also, bungie update tomorrows.

Yeah. Unfortunately, I doubt we'll be getting any info on the new game until TGS.

Just don't do all caps.
ALL CAPS IS NO BETTER THAN ALL UNDERCASE

Forget the new game, I just want info on when the Legendary maps will be free and required, and what the new maps are and when we'll be seeing them.

I expect info on the new game first and information on the new maps later on.

Ugh, give us info on making the game that we can play now fun before giving us info on something else that we won't be playing for at lease a few months.

I'm just going off of what is already known: Microsoft plans to announce more information relating to the teaser trailer at the Tokyo Game Show. It's why I think info on the maps will come at a later date (don't want to spoil everything at once, I guess). But it definitely would be nice to get some details on the expansion on Thursday, and Friday we get information on the maps.
