Do you think Halo the new game will have Headhunter as a playlist?

HC HALO 3 RECON is & will likely always be the biggest mystery of all on these here forums...

Does anyone think you will return to this thread?

^ I think the best thing about Halo is BTB objective games. Modes like Assault, Capture the Flag, stuff like that. Too bad 343 is to retarded to put in a new playlist.

I'm going to give matchmaking and multiplayer another chance today since it's the summer holidays for NZ/Australia. See if it's any better.

Your best bet if you are in New Zealand or Australia is the Team Slayer, Halo 3 and Halo 4 playlists. They keep adding playlists despite the population issues but I think that is mainly to cater to the US players who are having no issues finding games. Shouldn't
have any problems with lag at least as most of the games I manage to get here in Australia seem to be on dedicated servers now.

So I just have some random questions about Reach that have popped up. One, I read that Bungie doesn't control Halo anymore, is there any reason for this? Two, I was wondering what playlists to play if I wanted to get the Defiant achievements and the
rest of the Noble ones. I played BTB to try to get the Defiant ones, but stockpile never came up? Lastly, is there any news of a new map pack, because I really hope they come out with a new firefight map. I hope they put some kind of flying vehicle in it
if they do. Any answers would be appreciated.



Thanks

1. Bungie sold their rights to Halo back when they first signed on with Microsoft 10 or so years ago. Their contract expired back in 2007 as a Microsoft affiliate, and they wanted to make new games so they did not renew. They were still under contract for
3 more Halo games, so thus we got Halo 3, ODST, and Reach. However, since Microsoft owns the rights to Halo, they keep it. They created a brand new developer called 343 Industries for the sole purpose of carrying on Halo.

2. You don't have to play the DLC playlists to get those achievements. However, Stockpile was removed from almost every playlist. Occasionally, it will come up in SWAT, but no one ever votes for it. This makes it tough for people to get this achievement
now. You might have better luck with 343's first playlist update if they decide to re-include Stockpile in more playlists. Bungie used to have a page which showed which games were included in which playlists, but it seems that they have removed it.

3. We will be getting new maps with the release of Halo: CE Anniversary on November 15th. If you buy the game, you will immediately have access to 6 remade classic maps and 1 new Firefight map for Halo: Reach. If you choose not to buy the game, you will
be able to purchase the maps separately at a later date which has yet to be determined.

Hope this helped!
