I enjoyed rocket race as much as the next guy, but I wouldn't like a playlist dedicated to it. I would much rather prefer an action sack playlist that includes rocket race instead of putting it in multi-team. Contrary to popular belief, some people like to play multi-team slayer.
are we getting a bulletin this week? [br][/br]Edited by merge: well, what about a race playlist that incorporates rocket race?
are we getting a bulletin this week? [br][/br] I doubt it. Pax is this weekend and they will be revealing a new multiplayer map. So we will most definitely be getting some great content. Just not today
No I'm betting we will get a bulletin, mainly to talk about what will be at PAX, and hopefully we'll get some other goodies.
How about we have no Action Sack, Race, Grifball or Infection playlists? Go play custom games if you enjoy it that much. I'd rather keep matchmaking closer to the core gametypes.
Yeah, I'll just go play fun minigames with my large group of friends that are always playing halo and always join my games.
Look at the infection playlist population right now. That depresses me as much as it does anyone, but there are a lot of people who want to play it and it's going to be in MM, no question. I'd much rather have it out of the way in its own playlist than getting voted for every other game in FFA like it did after Reach's release.
Last time I checked, the brackets come out on Sunday. Forgot where though. I actually like infection. And Action Sack is already removed.
they just need to keep **** seperated, i hated how they mixed in mindless minigames in with everything all the time. or you know, they had elite slayer in slayer MM, so goddamn annoying. i'm glad that's one thing that wont be happening.
Cool. Barely qualifies as the 29th, but better late than never. Hopefully we'll receive a new weapons video
So for the new map at PAX what do you guys think it will be? What are you hoping for? Also didn't they say they were doing a remake? Any news on what they are doing yet?
I would just wonder how Valhalla would function with Sprint added. I feel like Avalanche would do it very well since there was a LOT of space and moving faster might transfer a lot of the action to each bottleneck rather than that tiny room between the two that everyone always crams themselves into as a stalemate goes on (as intense as it was). Sandtrap would also be fine space-wise.
I wish they never brought Infection back as a full playlist after Halo 3...it was a nice weekend playlist, but I don't think it should be full time. Let's go back to double XP weekends please? Those gametypes were fun and made more enjoyable by their novelty brought on by a limited time offer IMO. I'd like to see that again. As for the map, I don't think they would do Valhalla; that space on The Ravine looked almost designed for a Valhalla remake or re-imagining. The river and hills were in the right places. I'd like to see Sidewinder/Avalanche personally. Sandtrap was definitely fun and all, but I don't think it played as well as the other two as a legitimate BTB map. Heavies and customs were great on Sandtrap, but now Forge can cover that base a lot better than in Halo 3.
Well I believe that one of the reasons that Infection sucked (IMO) in Reach because it was a dull, unbalanced, non-community-driven gametype on default maps. When they let the forge maps out, they weren't very unique... Halo 3's wasn't ideal either, but it was closer to the fun custom games hosted by very good forgers back in the good ol' days.
Hockey was terrible. It might have been fun in customs, but it wasn't a good fit for MM. It ruined Action Sack for me. Any time anything cool came up, it was out-voted for Hockey. I think a more slayer oriented Action Sack would be better in MM. Halo 3 had some awesome action sack games - and although VIP drove a lot off that, it played a lot like slayer. Oh, and why didn't they throw a Fiesta game type in there? With random AAs too it would have been hilarious.
