Halo at least requires team camping instead of LOL LONE WOLF OMA NOOB TUEBS HERP DERP SIT AT SPAWN TUEB KARACHI C POINT DERP NUKE.
Halo establishes teamwork, albeit not the pinnacle of team gaming (TF2 :eagle:), which is more than I can say for any other shooter.

This is even true for The Cage. Any good team will camp the ramp at the top of the man cannon. Sure, maybe that's what you're supposed to do. Call it "establishing top control" if you want. Any way you look at it, you have a team sitting in one area, not moving, and waiting for the other team to do something.

I'm not saying this is a broken game mechanic, and I'll probably get replies saying "that's how Halo's supposed top be played! you just don't understand it!" but all I'm trying to establish is that Halo can be a VERY campy and slow paced game. And anyone who says you can't camp in Halo, or even that it isn't the best strategy alot of the time, is delusional.



Pretty sure they spawn the sniper, a carbine, and the shotgun all on the lower half of the map. If you can't take the top with those, then the other team is just better than you.

Playlist Changes

* SWAT Playlist added (SWAT removed from Big Team Battle and Team Slayer)
* Campaign Matchmaking (live on 10/15 – You will be required to have earned the Grade “Corporal” to enter this Playlist)
* Team Slayer rebalanced to highlight default Slayer game variants and include new offerings
* Classic Slayer removed
* Removed “Pro” game variants from the Arena Playlist
* Removed Boardwalk from Arena Team Doubles Playlist
* Added “Return to Battlefield” volume to Space on Zealot in the Arena Playlist


Game Variants Additions

* King of the Hill (multiple Playlists, including Arena*)
* Rocket Race
* Juggernaut (Rumble Pit Playlist)
* *King of the Hill not included in Arena


General Housekeeping

* Sudden Death will be added to all Assault game variants, including Invasion
* Team Objective will now feature the map Powerhouse
* Replacing Drop Shield with Evade for King of the Hill, Territories, and Oddball
* Replacing Hologram with Evade in Oddball, Capture the Flag, Assault, and Stockpile
* Replacing the Scorpion on Hemorrhage with Wraiths (Hemorrhage Heavies variant, TBD)


It should be noted that these are some, and not all of the proposed changes we'll be making to the online experience in the weeks and months ahead. The items listed above are those of the inbound soon™ variety. We'll make some more noise about a potential second October update as soon as the details are set in stone. Suffice to say, we'll be adding some new "stuff" to keep it fresh and we've already begun to dig into some sweet user created content in search of future matchmaking hopefuls. More on that in updates to come. Stay Tuned.

Time for some housekeeping.

Halo just requires a lot more thought than most FPS's.

lol

Take Indy's arena scenario. Someone has top control and you gotta break the set up or your totally boned. You can for a power weapon to spawn, you can try and coordinate a rush there's a lot of things you can do. Send 2 guys up with Jetpacks as a distraction and have the other two come over lift with a shotgun.

Halo requires more thought because so much can be happening at once. In COD you don't have to think. (TF2 is an exception to most fps btw).

Halo's spawn system alone requires a lot of thought. You can often manipulate your whole teams spawns in halo. When you have good teams playing messing up just one of your teams spawns can cost you the game. I probably shouldn't expect anyone to know about competitive halo, but it's a lot more than just outskilling the other team. Competitive halo is 75% strategy and 25% execution.

Great changes. Addressed a ton of stuff I've complained about. I'll miss my tank on Hemorrhage though.

MLG Reach v1 Gametypes released. Nothing crazy, they're still playing it very conservative. I'd be down if you guys wanna try and run some customs at some point. Or like an MLG FFA.

1. I'm a beast at team snipers, ask Snyder and Hungry as my references.

2. Hungry is a bitch to play with. I should have known any game with friendly-fire is a game you don't want to play with Hungry.

3. Snyder's halo costume is nasty. Change that asap.
