No way dude, without armor lock none of these would be possible.

Dear Bungle:
Please fix the weighting in Team Slayer. Why is Sword Base, Forge World and Boardwalk so heavily favored? I swear to god, I never see Countdown, Zealot or Reflection. It's infuriating playing Sword Base over and over again.
Love,
DJ

P.S.
At the very least - at least I don't get SWAT over and over again. Half way there. Now fix the map rotations. Is it that hard?
Edit:
Pinacle,
Boardwalk
and Swordbase
Just came up AGAIN. For fuck sake, thank god they all voted none of the above and got Zealot.

Where/when did they say this, and to what does this refer to in the context in which it was said?Neuromancer said:
Better yet: Bungie can address this in the weekly update today. Just a simple confirm/deny would do. Modders can try to pull a 'halo 3 IWHBYD discovery" later if need be.

I could see maybe forcing a break in the lock, so you can't just hold it till backup arrives, but otherwise, Armor lock is a pretty awesome ability. I Had two guys using it stupidly on zealot and I managed to pull a double because of it. As soon as they took a shot one would go into lock, so I had both down to no shields, sitting in armor lock pretty soon. one well timed nade was all it took.
I don't think any of the AA's are out of place when incorporated correctly. But a bubble shield in games about defending a specific objective (KotH, CTF), or a jet pack in a map crafted with a specific infantry flow in mind (such as Reflection) don't mix well. That's one of the reasons I settled on a relatively large, open map for my first Forge design: every surface is climbable without a jet pack, and it's open enough that sprinters won't be able to zip in and out of encounters.Letters said:Sprint is much worse, with everyone rushing around with swords and hammers, or running fast into cover as soon as they get hit with a bullet from far away.
Conceptually I'd like to see discretion applied to which AA's show up on which map; there doesn't need to be a base set of five available. Two or three with a mix of different weapons would result in a more controlled map and combat flow, unless the map is open enough to accomodate them.

I would agree to that too, if there wasn't so many power weapons on near instant respawns. Armor Lock saves you against rockets, and sword/hammer/shotgun sprinters time and time again.

And the mountain to the side of the bases, near the water. That's the new spot.
Also, another issue with hemmorage, the team that starts near the water is at a SEVERE disadvantage especially when it comes to snipers. The team inland gets the whole elevated ridge, and has elevated sides to snipe from and view the battle field, where as the team by the water has to expose itself to even see where to shoot.
There are so many issues with that map, unless I'm playing with friends I'll just snap up the shotgun and camp the flag when I'm by the water, and grab the sniper and shit on people when I'm at the top base from now on.

ROFLMAO. That's just too funny. I needed a laugh.
I'd say three things need to get in place. First, they need a good selection of well crafted community maps. Invastion maps in particular are very hard to design correctly but I'm starting to see some good candidates pop up in the Forge thread, for instance. Second, they need a way to flag the best and pull them into the pipline (that's in the works), and then test them. I think we're somewhere between the first and second stages right now.Alienshogun said:

Where are the awesome, rock-solid, play-tested community Invasion maps?
Hmm maybe we should have an official contest to spur interest and focus the creative efforts of the community and reward them with fancy prizes... maybe...
Bungie.net update is live. Some of the requested topics were addressed. I suspect next week will result in a lot more satisfaction though. Between the growing 10/19 playlist update and other things potentially happening next week, should be a good scene for Urk to return and walk into for a meaty update.

I wish the game would group the players at the start according to mic usage. Lately while playing BTB, I keep getting put on the team filled with people either with no mic, or in party chat, while the other team has 5 or 6 mic'd up players. If you don't have a mic or whatever, that is fine. But you should be grouped with the other players who also don't want to talk, while the people who DO want to communicate should be grouped.

Ram, remember when I said you were top 5% of the playerbase, at least?
Yeah, it's probably higher than that. You just never see the other dudes.

Bungie managed to successfully convey the Legendary AI as being "smarter" by only scaling up their damage, health, and projectile velocity?

I would like to see a chart like this for Arena Season 1. Any chance of that, Brian?

The maps are honestly the biggest problem right now, and they're one of the most important elements in an FPS (or any game). It feels like Bungie didn't actually think about how the maps would function in multiplayer, and instead focused on aesthetics. And I still have NO clue as to why they decided to limit themselves by only borrowing from campaign levels. Creative/unique maps with function as a top priority would've been leagues better imo. Knowing the dev's imaginations, we could have been given maps in sewers, forests, deserts, mazes, more snow, oceans, etc. Some of the best maps in other games(other halos, CS, and so on) were random and off-the-wall ideas that became awesome out of nowhere.
I guess we'll see when the first DLC rolls around if they're gonna go all out, or if we'll get more lame cities.
Edit: And also, the quitting will never go away without individual/persistent ranks in the playlists sadly.

That's like 5 people?
I can't believe I'm in the top ~3% as a captain grade 3. I dunno what to think about that :/
Also, the weekly update says you face four Hunters on Legendary Nightfall. This isn't true - you still only face 2.
Edit: Aren't both Blame Stosh videos from GAF?

The real problem is once they remove it those same people who are capped will probably reach whatever new cap they have. And so the cycle will repeat till that 1% percent of players get frustrated and stop playing.Trickster said:
It's only 1 percent so I doubt Bungie really cares.

Pretty cool to know it's always smart and just gets full advantage to use those smarts when it doesn't get killed so easily.Cuban Legend said:Bungie managed to successfully convey the Legendary AI as being "smarter" by only scaling up their damage, health, and projectile velocity?
Cool to see bobs's video in the update (the 2nd one for the unaware)
