[Mister Negative]

My favorite part was spawning right into people's reticules.




I'm still waiting for test to get back to us on Cragmire Doubles.

There was one moment on the second match on Powerhouse where your entire team spawned behind me in Rock Garden.

SWAT spawns are kind of iffy in general, methinks.

Hoping it is related to these Halo 3 update rumours.

 

[Booties]

Didn't even see kyle's post and I'm online and in his party within 30 seconds. Philotic connection.

Halo 3 needs to literally get cut to about 4 playlists.

Team Slayer, Team Doubles & MLG
Social Slayer & Social Big Team

That would do me fine.

Refuge getting added to TO, confirmed.

Nah, Ram was talking about bad Forge maps.

Word.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Laughed at people thinking Reach would get MM updates. Not enough resources silly.

 

[Hydranockz]

Ok guys, Plywood, Cyren and the rest of your team and also Fyrewulff and Slightly Live, how does Saturday suit to play our match?

Saturday works for me

 

[a zoojoo]

What time?

 

[Steelyuhas]

Team Slayer, Team Doubles & MLG
Social Slayer & Social Big Team

That would do me fine.

I'd do similar:
Ranked
Team Slayer: Don't change this playlist
Team Doubles: Fine the way it is as well
MLG: Cut the MLG playlist. A ranked playlist in H3 will this little population is just not sustainable anymore.

Social
Social Slayer: Add some small weighting of a couple core objective gametypes in here, as well as SWAT and Snipers. These gametypes are skipped after veto.
Social Big Team: Don't change
Rumble Pit: Don't change

So 5 playlists like you suggested.

inb4 Fyre brings up that achievement requirements rip these both apart.

 

[Hydranockz]

What time?

Well Krow and I are on GMT so for us, we could probably manage anything after 6pm (preferrably later) until about 3am I'd say.

Sounds a lot more reasonable, just irritates me how the population counters on Halo 3 are broken and probably will be for months to come, so we can't truly see which playlists are, dead.

TS needs to go BR start.

I thought it already was?

Damn, poor decision on Bungie's part.

lol no. so much ARs in that playlist.

Missing a ranked FFA list, otherwise it'd work.

In theory, you can cut H3 down to 3 lists. Ranked FFA, Ranked 4v4, and one that resets it's EXP for 7 on the 7th.

I have all the requirements in this ancient post

I thought it already was?

Damn, poor decision on Bungie's part.

BR starts were slightly reduced in Halo 3 due to the voting data. So they were staying in line with what players were voting for..

 

[Havok]

TS needs to go BR start.

To be fair, so does every other playlist in that game.

something something something map movement

It essentially is. If you're ranked high enough, everyone vetoes for BR starts, and it's weighted more towards BR starts I think. You'll get BR games 95% of the time.

Then when it's paired with a bad map, you have to choose whether you want to play a crappy gametype or a crappy map because the system assumes that you're voting against both the gametype and map.

Am I right in thinking that if the first gametype is AR starts, after veto, the second gametype will ALWAYS be BR starts?

 

[cocamola]

RIP Squad Battle ;_;

You mean Host boot battle?

 

[Mister Negative]

I think it's by design, yeah.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Anyone want to play? Need a 4th.

That's 5% too much AR.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Well they only have millions of dollars. Don't know about 343, but Reach only made 200M on launch day. Expecting MM updates is sort of batshit crazy expectations, they are probably barely scraping by just to pay electricity in their building.

 

[Mister Negative]

Past 40, yeah, it got terrible.

But that run to 42 was some of the most fun I've ever had in Halo.

 

[The Real Napsta]

A future MM update is in the works if you ask me, the Objective maps competition on Waypoint, the Cartographers were looking for maps forged on the Anniversary Pack for the Anniversary playlists.

Oh great as long as the Craptographers are involved I'm sure itll be great! Hoping for some sweet Heavy updates.

That does suck when it happens, yeah, and the playlist should be BR starts. As is, though, I think it's a great playlist. It love it so much – I shouldn't have stopped playing it in Halo 3's heyday.

That's 5% too much AR.

Hush you.

 

[The Real Napsta]

Speaking of Anniversary maps, that longest remake on High noon works pretty well if you just delete that red light.

 

[Moa]

Oh great as long as the Craptographers are involved I'm sure itll be great! Hoping for some sweet Heavy updates.

Here's looking at you Asphalt & Cragmire!

 

[Overdoziz]

Hush you.

I'm dead serious. ARs have no place in any competitive playlist.

 

[Franklinator]

Here's looking at you Asphalt & Cragmire!

Asphalt's the only good Heavies map.

Spoiler

sorry fyrewulff

 

[Aggrotek]

Hai guise! Just saw Spidey. Was awesome. How goes the halo tonight?

I thought so to until I went flying into a wall every single game I played on it.

 

[The Real Napsta]

They really have no place in anything but customs. H3 AR starts are straight up garbage.

 

[Moa]

I know a certnain someone on Waypoint who would be practically punching you in the face for saying that.

Bless him.

 

[Mister Negative]

And then Bungie tried to make it better by adding pistols.

but boy oh boy was the Halo 3 pistol HORRIBLE.
