I think the spawn logic is fine, prevents spawn camping.

After playing a few games on classic I was reminded forge map spawns are bad. I don't really care if it's the logic or the placement, hopefully 343 come up with a good spawn system that is easy to use in forge 2.0.
Also barrow roll thanks for the update on Arena. I'll try it out later it seems like it can be my go to slayer playlist as well. I really think 5 shot suits the DMR perfectly and it would be amazing with recoil / fixed rate of fire instead of bloom.

So far team classic feels awesome. It is like a straight jacket has been taken off of me lol.

We've never been given an explanation for why they used that spawning system on certain maps and not others, but that is what I assumed however, I don't think spawn camping is a particular threat on the bigger maps where the variable spawn system has proved to be annoying.

Agreed. This is probably the single greatest playlist update Halo has seen. The number of fixes and gametypes added is amazing. Also really glad with the fast response on Highlands power weapons.
All this, and we still get Community BTB sometime this month.

I always assumed it was just to decrease exploits in spawn camping, it is not that big a deal in slayer games.
You can also argue that it gives teams a chance to be on both sides.

So does this mean no more red players spawning at blue base? If so, fantastic. This and all the rest of the changes came quick. Damn good job, 343i.
Holy shit. I can't believe I never noticed this while playing the game. Another Easter egg! Further props to 343i.

I don't think it should spawn you by enemy players either.
Shit I am so tired.
So far my enjoyment of the new playlists has been hindered by the idiots of Xbox Live. Also, Jeremiah was worried about frame rate dropping. Did he even look at the Damnation remake? My frustration with this game and all of it's two-left handed-players is almost to the tipping point where I put it in the case and never touch it again.

I've got so much work to do tonight. I haven't experienced the new playlists, and I might not be able to until tomorrow.
You guys should post as many videos as you can. For me. Because deep, deep down, you barely tolerate me.

Fuck Haloball, stupid idea.
That is all.
They lied, so far the Gears LE is the only real LE (the one with the lancer) that I'm aware of.
That is all.
Lazslo said:I finally caved and got a new Xbox Slim w/ Kinect- I was looking for just the regular Xbox Slim 250g without the Kinect bundle as I currently have the old 2007 12g Xbox and it's a nightmare to manage. I think MS is really pushing Kinect Hard to the 'core' gamers because I could not find one Xbox slim with 250g's without Kinect. I called around everywhere and nobody had it in stock. They only had the 4gig SKU (without kinect) I was going to buy that with a 16g thumb drive but by that point it was only $40 cheaper then the Kinect 250g Bundle. Might try and sell the Kinect if anyone is interested for cheap or give it away to charity as I'll never use it and I'm sure kids would enjoy it much more that I will.
-Also I was so close to buying this: That price tag reads $89.99- I remember reading in September the Legendary Sku would be very Limited unlike the Halo 3 Legendary but they had about 10 Halo: Reach Legendary SKU's in Stock at my local best buy.

I finally got the ITCTHMB achievement. I just wanted to come here to celebrate. Tip of the Spear, on heroic, leaping from the top of the shield tower, slowed enough by the jetpack to keep from dying halfway down. And my wife witnessed it, which means I'm getting laid tonight.
MrBig said:
lol, I see what he means, I can only imagine how much rage will ensue when I get donged on because I'm stuck with an AR, and the guy has a DMR. The real solution to this however is not to remove the DMRs, but just take out the AR gametypes, kthx.

Meh, I understand what he is saying. Power slayer, speedflag, and speedpile may be a joke to some people, but they are still clearly an FPS gametype. Although HaloBall is kind of cool, I don't think its something that should have a permanent home in matchmaking.
Its all people vote for in that playlist by the way. I played 11 games in there and didn't get to play speedflag, or speedpile outside of Hemorrhage (Why Hemorrhage is still in 4v4 playlists outside of snipers is beyond me).

More proof that the Halo community are fucking idiots.
Speedpile was fucking awesome though I must say. That is, when we weren't stuck with idlers.
Come to think of it, I think me and Barrow had idlers in every fucking game today.

Also I never realized how hard it would be to land melees consistently with 120% speed. Readjusting to the timing definitely takes some getting used to.

Oh yeah, whenever I enter a playlist by myself, I want to slap people silly for how they vote. Team Slayer is literally Team Sword Base if you are playing solo.
We had some mad quitting sprees on the group I was playing team classic with today. Although, we were doming scrubs pretty hard.

Seriously, what a load of crap, I see them at my local game stores like GameStop and Best Buy all the time, in stacks even. And this is around the Milwaukee area. Luckily, I was able to contain myself and not buy the LE this time around though. I did for Halo 3 and regretted it.kylej said:

I noticed a ton of quitters today in the classic playlist. I think people were just trying it out and quitting when they decided they didn't like it. So far I like classic. I'm not sure if it'll replace standard slayer playlists for me, but its a fun change nonetheless.
Oh, and I got a FF match on Unearthed. It plays really well with 4 people.

Also I just opened a can of redbull (staying up late, uni work) and i tasted Halo. Been a lot of late nights these past few years

You can download it to his hard drive. No worries.
- You have to be signed into XBL for that DLC to work on his Xbox.
- It won't affect the DLC on the Xbox you first bought it on.

Yup. If I dare say, I've had more fun playing this than most of Reach lately. Even had myself a few, run at each other blasting ARs and first one to melee wins encounters tonight.

At least you recognize the problem.
I look forward to your (343's) iteration of Halo.
