I cant wait for the new zombie playlist. I have one infection spree hoping to get more. I hope the people wont be able to spam the dmr.

Squad DLC should be awesome ^_^

race playlist please

Squad DLC just slayer?? need 1 flag at the defiant maps for last achieve. please!

The only improvements I would like to see in reach right now would be the return of community slayer and possibly more map selection in invasion =)

Thanks for bringing a DLC playlist back.  It's impossible to get those achievements without it, and the whole community shouldn't suffer losing it just because people are to lazy to download the inexpensive maps.

NOOOO No no no a thousand times no get that TU cancer out of BIG team

nig team was fine the way it was take the tu crap out. it was fine the way it was it did not need to be fixed or changed. because of all these changes i know a big chunk of people that are going to quit play halo reach.

Probationary status? Better hurry for my achievements.

So that's what that playlist was. I was taken by surprise at first. Thought maybe it had corrupted

Squad DLC, eh? I'm gonna havta get on that.

can you make the tu update playlist seperate from regular matchmaking its really annoying  

As much as I liked Halo 3, TU gametypes are annoying as hell once you're used to Reach. You shouldn't be putting it everywhere. I'm guessing the only thing it isn't in now is Invasion? Shield bleedthrough is way too annoying once you've played reach for so long.

Haha, look like I'm coming back to Halo

When I saw the update when I turned on halo reach to play, it said something about a 16,343 credit jackpot... Details about that anyone?

All I can say is thank god Tu is getting around. It was too much to switch back and forth from Arena to TU... As for everyone complaining, i suggest you get used to playing TU, 343 already basically called bungie out wrecking MP with Reach. I was worried when 343 took over, as i love bungie, but after everything they've done to restore Halo, I can't wait for 4, where they will have had a clean slate and not something they had to fix.

343 is ruining the greatest game in the world. just saying when something is perfect, dont mess with it.

@ Constell4tion: Lol Opinion.


I might actually play Arena now that the 100 percent bloom is gone. Takes forever to find a match though ;(.

While your at it 343 making BTB worst why don't you do something about noobs quitting out of every game I'm in, Like give them a month long ban for being pussies worried about their already crappy kds. Get rid of the TU crap in BTB, stop making maps worse with every update (abridged). Just leave it the way Bungie left and go screw up Halo 4 with the TU crap so you lose a couple thousnd consumers to COD. >

Please. . . No more Title Update in our playlists. . .

why oh why has neither 343 or bungie done ANYTHING with invasion? D:

Living Dead update? Oh heck YES. The only thing that bugged me about Reach Living Dead was that H3 had all of the cool forge maps and Reach usually degenerated into a boring Sword Base campfest. Variety is good!

Hey, can someone please tell me what was the Griffball early win behavior?

My thoughts exactly MXLive720.  It'd be nice to get an explanation of what was fixed in grifball

I'm really happy with most of these updates! Good job. I was really excited about the Squad DLC playlist, until I found out it was default slayer and not TU slayer. Why make a new playlist with new maps with an old gametype?

Don't incorporate TU into the playlists! It was fine to make it a separate playlist, give the game a little variation. But don't go out and start messing with stuff that people have had over a year to get used to. And as a side note, bleed-through damage?! there was no bleed through in halo CE back in the day of health. The only reason you guys are even making these changes like armour lock, bleed through damage, reticle bloom, etc, is because you've got people out there having a cry fest just because they can't play the game. suck it up princesses!
And you do need to do something with invasion, make a custom invasion map and put it out there.

DLC playlist needs more than just Slayer. Slayer is boring, I want objective games in there two. I've boughten these new maps, and I have yet to play any matchmaking on them aside from this playlist. Why aren't there TU games here (Unless I haven't seen them), where is the objective games, where is Invasion?

Also, why am I seeing Anniversary maps? They already have their own playlist, I want to enjoy the few maps that never come up.

Halo is slowly starting to look like Halo again.

Also:

@Death Blackout - There is bleed through in CE. Don't talk about something of which you know nothing.

@Everyone else complaining about TU changes: ADAPT.

Thanks 343!  You have successfully ruined OUR (your) playlists with your absolute JANK F'n GARBAGE "TU" CRAP!!!  I enjoyed playing BTB (among other maps) that you guys have now corrupted.  Looks like I will be joining my son, and abandoning my HALO REACH disc and attempt to find another game worth playing.  It's sad that someone else had to take over what was once an epic online gaming experience and turn it into a piece of trash.

The only thing that gets me is the lack of objective gametypes in Squad DLC. The amount of times Anchor 9's Unanchored variant pops up can be turned down too. That map is this Sword Base of the DLC maps.

In this thread : whiners

Please 343 get rid of TU in Big Team!  Put TU in it's own playlist separate from Vanilla Reach, we were told somewhere a long time ago that you would always offer Vanilla Reach, I feel like you are going back on that statement.  Why did you listen to all those complainers, there were thousands of other people who liked Reach the way it was and therefore did not complain, what about those customers like me.  I bought the Legendary Editon of the game and loved Reach the way it was.  I played Halo 3 on Live for 2 years and I love the changes to MP that Bungie made to Reach, I didn't like the BR killing you so easy or the sheild bleed through.  I even had to buy a second disc of Reach because the black case in the Legendary editon ruined my first disc and now my favorite playlist is ruined by the TU.  I am tiered of hearing how Reach was "random", and these people think that TU brings "skill" back.  It takes LESS skill to spam the trigger of a DMR and to shoot someone with a couple Assult

A lot of bitches here whining about the TU Update. It leveled the playing field. If you sucked at DMR and Pistol, now you have a better chance of getting more rounds to connect. If you own at the DMR and Pistol, trust me, it will make you look even better.


Now let me quote Deathalize, "@Everyone else complaining about TU changes: ADAPT."

To be honest I wasn't to keen on 343 changing everything, and I have seen a lot of comments about this TU update. But to be really honest the title update isn't all that bad, get used to it and its enjoyable. Good Job 343 and I am already enjoying the Living Dead updates.

I love Reach and I love the TU update so far ... keep up the good work.  Everyone else on both sides of the fence needs to take your psychotropic medication now.  Lets get those emotions under control
