Just stop...

Someone give this man a medal. Or two. Yeah, somehow I was expecting a response like this from you. Explains a lot.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

100% correct. It's just a game. People saying the original gunner was in the wrong...*shakes head*

Nobody does. /thread

Well you could always, oh I don't know, play for the fun of the game? You know, like players used to do in CE when that useless, pixelated badge didn't even exist? Seriously, play a few games, and then give it a rest. If you're hitting the XP limit on a consistent basis, that might be a good cue to put down the controller and take a step outside. Might even be why 343 instituted such a limit. Hmm... Alternatively, you could always come onto a fan-created forum and make an ego-inflating thread about how much you "don't care about xp bans, but clearly care enough to create a thread about them and how they affect you and your ability to boost commendations". Agree with Peanut. If it wasn't your intention to come on here and make a pretentious thread about how awesome you are, then all I can say is 'fail'. Sorry if that wounds, but seriously, bragging about guest-boosting commendations? Get a life. *shakes head*

Yeah, I did the same (haven't uploaded to my fileshare, tho). It's actually a really fun gametype, but I feel like it could be kinda dull without a bunch of players (but that's really true of any gametype).

You're not alone. I think we've all had days where, despite trying out best, we just consistently fall short. It happens...especially in Halo, it seems! lol

Adding in Multi-Team would be a welcome change. Had some pretty good times in that playlist during my Reach days. Like free-for-all (with the high-player count / # of hostile teams working against you), but with a pal or two to watch your back. This alone would make it a worthwhile update for me!

Wow, I'm actually a little touched! You really put a lot of thought into how this playlist could work, and your ideas all sound really fantastic. Thanks so much for the input!

Nobody cares, particularly when the PSA is simply a rant about how people are playing the game wrong, according to "you". Maybe instead of demeaning people who are trying to have fun, you could try rewording this as a diplomatic word of advice for novice players, to take or leave as they choose. tl;dr Don't be an a**.

And? So what if they do? Just sayin'.

Umm...but Slayer Pro lacks radar...hasn't that been a halo feature since the beginning? Hard to see Slayer Pro as more classic halo when a staple of the halo series is utterly missing from the playlist. Just my opinion. As for a Team Slayer playlist, completely agree. Would be a welcome addition.

This I can agree with. You make a very good point here; one that I cannot refute. Yeah, this is a really nice forum. I think a round of applause is in order for the folks who keep it up and operational. Btw, if you haven't downloaded the Forge Map Pack, I strongly recommend that you check it out. Very high quality forging, imo. I'd write the uploader's GT for his credit, but I'm not sure if that's a violation of the rules here.

Additionally, there really wouldn't be that many weapons banned in the playlist. Still more than CE had, and folks didn't complain about a lack of firepower choices in that game, right?

...yes there is -.- But that's neither here nor there. 343i will either fix it or not. As for the challenges you don't like, don't do them. Simple.

True, it is just an opinion...or educated guess, some might say. lol As for the lack of weapons, what about SWAT? A good number of people play that for hours with only the DMR and BR available. Two weapons.

No, I'd pretty much lable it an opinion. Here's why: Casual folks tend to gravitate towards the auto's, while try-hards choose the most OP weapons exclusively. They do not use any other weapons (like the "scrub" AR, ect), because only these OP weapons (almost always some sort of precision weapon) are somehow the only "skillful" weapons in the game. These people tend to gravitate to the Slayer Pro and MLG playlists, including the folks who think they're MLG material when they're really not, which is most of them. Since there are more casuals in Halo, or any game for that matter really, there will likely be more spray players. This forum is, like all forums, not truely representative of the game's population as a whole, since probably only 1-5% of the population even knows about it or cares enough to post. Thus, since the majority of this game is populated by casuals who either aren't "good enough" to use the "skillful" weapons or even know there is a such a distinction, most are using the "Spray and Pray" weapon set. Casuals drive this game, not the so called "pros". Trust me, put in a "Spray and Pray" playlist, and the population would soar, along with the number of complaint threads bashing Halo 4 for being "noon friendly" by the "pro" crowd, even though the playlist doesn't even indirectly affect them. A player after my own heart.

This affects you how, again?

Opinions and a**holes...well, you know the saying.

Um...no? I think there are more spray players than precision weapon players, so finding a community isn't that difficult. A custom game is a good alternative, and is likely what I'll propose to the members of this forum should this idea not garner enough attention. Action sack would be a nice fit too, but I really think an automatic weapon playlist would be just as popular as Slayer Pro or MLG.

It's fine, I figured it was a simple mistake. @Tornado: But, it's alright to waste a slot on MLG? Or Slayer Pro? Everyone has their own idea of fun. A waste of space to one person isn't so for another person. I think a lot of players who aren't worried about competativeness or their K/d (a large majority of the population I'd venture to say with confidence) would consider such a playlist a blessing.

What you suggest isn't unreasonable. I suppose the magnum could remain (it's true the little sucker isn't quite as lethal at mid-long range), I was just hoping to avoid folks trading the DMR for the pistol, but you're right, the magnum isn't quite as powerful and unbalancing in such a playlist. I would also love to see some forged arenas. I think someone posted a Forge Map Pack not too long ago that had some really awesome remakes in it, like The Pit and Turf. Maybe some of these? As for limiting the weapons further, idk. I didn't want to restrict it too much for fear of limiting choices and thus formenting boredom. I'm looking to recreate the CE feel, with the Halo 4 sandbox. Do you think people would be content with just the CE weapons for loadouts and ords? Btw, thanks so much for the warm welcome. This place is awesome (barring the influx of trolls after H4's release lol).

Now that's an idea! Even implemented alone, that change would make the DMR feel more like a long-ranged rifle. Excellent idea, Red.

I think you missed the part where the DMR would NOT be a part of this playlist. lol Unless you were just referencing the weapon and map in normal team slayer, which still doesn't apply here.
