Squad Slayer would still be among us.
Have we got a solid explanation as to why it's being removed? I really don't understand the idea that you can't appeal to people like us and the people who will just eat whatever shit up. Throw down some primo chow so we all get a bite, but when we notice it's dogshit we're just going to turn our backs while the same people who eat shit, will eat shit.
I wouldn't worry too much about that guy's input, a newcomer to Halo developing won't get that much power over gameplay decision making, plus we have Frank "one of the greatest fps games of all times" O'Connor, David "CEA mp pistol behavior carbon copy of CE pistol" Ellis and Chad "AR starts on Standoff" Armstrong there to make sure nothing goes wrong.
sometimes I feel like HaloGAF is just

I'd assume because of TS + TS TU playlists its too much slayer. So if you want to 5v5 go in Objective. Thats probably the (bad playlist management's) reasoning.
Something like that yeah. It makes no sense. They're removing a Slayer playlist with decent settings and maps and replacing it with a replica of a playlist with Armor Lock, AR starts and poop Forge maps.
What are we talking about? I thought all the extra bells and whistles you mentioned had nothing to do with the actual gameplay. Maybe I misread it 0.o

I never asked for armor abilities in Halo and it depresses me that there is not one damn playlist void of them. (Unless I'm forgetting something and no MLG doesn't count)

Anyone got spare Live Gold? Haven't touched Halo in weeks and forgot to renew.
Well MLG has armor abilities anyway...Does anniversary classic still exist?

So the only difference now between TU and Vanilla is 15% less bloom and tweaked AAs? Why aren't the tweaked AAs universal?
Yes, no AAs in Anniversary Classic.

Yes but you're not going to find it anywhere else. And anniversary is 3s pistol.
How about Halo 4 then?
I though the AL change was pushed through for all of them, but I guess not.

So how bout that Refuge map? Pretty neat huh.
And no sword block in TU. Just make the whole damn game TU already.
Well I'm hoping for some non-remake content to push up as well. And films.

Seriously. Is the casual playerbase really saying "keep vanilla, I want my gun to be as inaccurate and unrewarding as possible"?
Yea, with the removal of bleed through, there really is no reason to hold on to vanilla.

Like I said before, I think the removal of bleedthrough is the first step to making TU universal.

First step? What are the other steps? Just push the button, 343.

Well if you haven't noticed in the history of Halo playlist management, every change takes 5 months of delicate testing and examination before a final decision can be made.

LOL
Yep
Also, this is not important, but what's with the stupid 'Super Slayer' name? It's sounds silly, and it doesn't tell you what the playlist is. Should have just named it TU Team Slayer.
Goddamn AC3 sounds incredible!

The casual userbase is using ARs, so yes.

Yeah, but I just can't imagine what the any of the other steps leading up to actually making it happen would be. Let's have a two week voting process for all the playlists, lol.
Honestly, I wouldn't even be salty about this if Squad Slayer wasn't axed. It leaves me very few options for enjoyable Reach matches, TU or no. Feels bad, man.
Yep.

Haha, reminds me of when I go into the Anniversary playlists and see people still using the AR. You can give those folks a 3 shot pistol and unlimited rockets yet they'll still insist on using the AR.
I'll never understand it.
I'm sure they can tell the difference.

Much to my delight. It's a fun list when I'm the mood for mowin' down scrubs left and right, and not playing an actual competitive match.
That's exactly where I'm at now with Reach. I've just recently been getting into squad slayer. Soooo good, fixes most of my problems with Reach. I suppose now I'll give the new 5v5 Team Objective playlist a shot.
On a semi-related note, I agree with a lot of you, removing bleedthrough from TU settings is insane. 2 DMR shots + 1 melee should equal a kill, not just drained shields. What's the point of even keeping vanilla settings around, it and TU aren't all that different anyway, right?
So far I've got Infection, KotH, (Perf) Slayer and CTF.
That means I need Oddball, Stockpile, Headhunter, Assault and Territories. Preferably in 4v4.
It would be awesome if you could make record some games, I would greatly appreciate it.
The Firefight updates are going to be mindblowing when they finally roll through.

Scrubs in every playlist have been the cause of my Halo skills degeneration lately.
I can barely hold my own now in a competitive game. I used to be good in Halo 3 to the point where Therms and I just got up to a 40 in MLG, but now I can't even get 3 kills in an average MLG game in Reach.

Yeah our minds will be so blown it will seem like they didn't even do anything,

My reach disc broke. Really doubtful that I'm gonna replace it. I only have the cea disc and am stuck playing with the 3s pistol with its ridiculous spread.
Armor Lock heroes have feelings too. Can't just go making plasma grenade sticks kill them all of a sudden.

I know that feel. Hell it would happen in highschool when I played volleyball and badminton, playing down to the opponents level instead of always playing your a-game, then facing an opponent worth of you and you're barely able to keep up.
