TornadoFlame Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I'm not sure if this is here but ill go ahead and post it. https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postst182645_Upcoming-Competitive-Playlist.aspx As we first told you in the 12.12.12 Halo Bulletin, ( http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2012/12/12/The-Halo-Bulletin-121212.aspx ) we have been hard at work on a competitive playlist featuring heavily modified versions of Slayer, CTF, Extraction and King of the Hill. This playlist will launch before CSR (mid-February) and we envision it as both the go-to place for competitive play and the premier playlist to get your 50 in. We’ve been paying close attention to the competitive community’s settings while building this playlist, and will continue to do so both pre- and post-playlist launch. We will share the first outline of the settings next week to collect community feedback and perfect the competitive playlist before going live. The name of this playlist is still TBD - please feel free to give us suggestions. Some early details on this playlist: 4 vs 4Pre-set game loadoutsForced respawn timersNo instant respawnOrdnance on re-supply timersJoin-in-progress offNo split-screen playFriendly fire onMax party size 4 with big party matching enforcedNo guests allowed We’ll be keeping a close eye on AGL this weekend and the settings they are using at this tournament. Please continue to provide feedback as it helps us fine-tune and perfect your Matchmaking experience, and thank you, as always, for your continued support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iиversiσn Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 YES 343i. Finally, probably the smartest move you have made with Halo 4, an ultimate next step to improving the game would be implementing a visible trueskill system. Anyways, I love how they actually hear the community and aren't "corporate blockheads/walls" like other people may say they are. They even went to the extent of watching AGL to find out what works and what's better. Great job! -Inversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoFlame Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 yes this is one big step into the right direction now if we can just get the ranking system veiwable in game i think Ill beable to enjoy countless hours of halo again.

SatanicBagels Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Once this is released this will be the ONLY playlist that I ever play in Halo 4 xD Sounds like they have figured out what is needed to improve the gameplay and provide a base of operations for the countless disappointed fans. This playlist has a chance at being a very popular one. I also imagine that the population for this playlist would likely dwarf the infinity slayer population and send a very big message to 343i about what the community wants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatanicBagels Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Finally a playlist to get away from the boltshot... Hopefully. I can't imagine a fixed loadout with the boltshot in it. So I'd say you're probably right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WonderWombat Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 *343 adds new competitive playlist* People raise their expectations to unprecedented amounts. *Complaints fill the forums* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FleshBack Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 What about the Radar? God help me if Radar is on. If it is it should at least be dropped to 25m. And is it BR start or will there be a choice between BR and DMR like on some of the competitive settings being played? If so, why would anyone pick a BR over a DMR besides tryhards looking for bragging rights? All these questionsnand no answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these questionsnand no answers. they said they were gonna watch the agl tournament to get a idea of all this basically mlgV1 settings were used Lets hope its Br start and dmr on the map. My issue is JIP i think if you dc you should beable to rejoin the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FleshBack Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 DMR should definitely be a pickup weapon. I just don't see a reason for it not to be.!If you want a DMR, learn where it spawns and fight for it like people do for the sticky detonator or sniper. It would be cool if they allowed custom skins on the BR and magnum if you have them unlocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final Sentence Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 What about the Radar? God help me if Radar is on. It says competitive gameplay and I have the exact same thought process as you. This game will still be trash if rader/motion tracker is left on. Look at how sad 343 is, their forums have been down for almost a week, a freaking week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l Xenoes l Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 If it's a competitive playlist then I doubt Radar will be on. And if they look at the loud outs for MLG then the Bolt Shot WILL be in there and the DMR will be a start weapon for a loud out as well as the BR. I'll be very glad once this playlist is added. The Pro playlist wasn't around long enough for me to get into it so it'll be nice to get into some games where randoms will actually be as good as me.

TornadoFlame Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 they said they would look at the agl settings at the tournament that was a few days ago it had BR start only. Dmr boltshot on pick up. It went so smooth this way. radar will be off they said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cuz they are playing in a competitive playlist doesn't mean they will be on the same skill level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBO5s Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 They should increase the jumping height to something similar to halo 3 with the new update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
