Oh wait better idea, finally make Halo 3 for PC packed with an improved Halo 2 PC version that DOESNT suck with KB+M.
Why would you want to play Halo with KB+M?

I may be remembering incorrectly, but I think Frankie said on here that BJ will be included in Anniversary.thee henery said:
For those who missed it:
The bold implies Classic game types will be folded into other playlists, or at least, to Team Objective.
The Classic population took a tumble when objectives were added to it, which Jeremiah had noted on the Cartographer's forum. So perhaps it's returning to a Slayer only format, with the objectives moved into TO as a Classic option.
Also, to everyone complaining about AR/Magnum starts in Flagstravaganza, rejoice.
This is all subject to change and does not reflect all changes, you know the drill.
* All gametypes in Premium Battle will use big team variants
* Removing Hot Potato from Premium Battle
* Slayer DMRs game variants will use the default vehicle set
* Updated Grifball maps and gametypes
* Team Objective gametypes will feature DMR/AR starts (except Classic and Pro)
* Integrating 3 Flag, 2 Flag Slayer and Speedflag into Team Objective

Ah. Well then!Tunavi said:
Objectives going into Classic weren't a reason for its population. Maybe if he weighted them properly, i.e. you only see Prophet, Noble Creek, and Prolonged show up the most because they're versatile in that they can play Slayer, CTF, Assault, King, and Oddball. Others like Rat Race, High Noon, Eclipse, and so on cannot.

I have to say I told everyone so about classic playlist. I said flat out the population would drop when they added objective gametypes to it. I was called crazy for that too and told that no the population would go up. Sure enough it did go down. The classic playlist was fun because it was slayer. It your as close as you could get to old school Halo slayer. And Bungie took that away when they added the objectives to it hence a lot of us quit playing it because if we had wanted to play objective gametypes we would have picked objective playlists.
Read my post above. The map-gametype combos are heavy toward three maps. And before Objectives got added, we had DMR starts in there. It was not as closely resembling classic Halo as a Needle Rifle start has been. Then we had simpletons complaining about that, "wah I don't want to shoot this pink gun!".PsychoRaven said:
"if I want to play objectives, I'll go play objectives..."
I hate that. I guess to this type of mind every playlist should be slayer-only except BTB and Team Skirmish/Objective. If you want to play a slayer only playlist, you got four of them right now, five if you include Snipers.

Don't forget to turn off your rumble :eyeroll.jpg
However bumper jumper is amazing, but not when you need to use jetpack... and that would be never... so yep, it can remain amazing.
I tried Classic for the first time last week and thoroughly enjoyed it, much more than I expected to. I think that had more to do with the maps than the gametypes. I missed the AA's though. The increased move speed really fucked with me, too. It made me dizzy and I had to stop playing after a few matches.
My partner in Arcadefight had map load issues, so he gets ejected at the loading screen and I get to play solo. 20 minutes later I get the daily Challenge and the 3,000 cR jackpot for a nearly 12k cR game in total. I'm okay with this.
Yeah, I suppose rumble does eat up batteries. But that's fine if you have recharable battery pack, so useful. I honestly wish the Wii would have simple rechargable sets like the 360.Bread said:
I made the mistake of having downloads going while playing doubles. Got seperated twice, that's fine though, more kills and more vehicle kills. But its nearly impossible to finish the three rounds if one gets seperated at the beginning of the game!GhaleonEB said:
He has learned since. He's just not good anymore.
I made a similar move going from Legacy thumbsticks to default a few years back during H3. Having to relearn how to walk and look was a son of a bitch. BRing came quick enough, but it wasn't until like last week that I regained my full sniping ability.

That seems like a huge stretch, plenty of games use rumble well, racing games... flight games, many other games.

I can understand the argument for competitive multiplayer, but I just don't agree with you else where. I think a little bit of rumble feedback to the player can be very helpful in a lot of different ways.
It seems psychologically effective.

You'd have to be at a very high level for rumble to impact the quality of your play in any meaningful way.

Went so far as to remove my rumble packs in my wired controller. so good!
that said, rumble is fine in racing games and stuff, but it just messes with my aim in shooters

that's what I thought too, but it just feels really nice. It doesn't feel like the cheap lightness of the PS3 controllersMrBig said:
