Re: So. Default Reach Remains Default Frankie?

In Response To: Re: So. Default Reach Remains Default Frankie? (UnrealCh13f) : First, I'd like to mention that picture was hyperlinked to the thread I took : it from, you didn't need to really search for it. I figured that out eventually. DOH! : Okay off to the main post. : ________________ : I get what you mean. They didn't mention that they were keeping the Vanilla : playlists, and implied that you can still play private, custom Vanilla : gametypes. : Here's the thing though, we can both agree that matchmaking is currently the : biggest mode in Reach, right? Lets assume that, say in two months time, : there are no more Vanilla playlists in Reach and the only way to play : Vanilla is to go into a custom game. : I don't know about you, but when I see matchmaking playlists change to only : TU-enabled playlists, I no longer consider Reach as Vanilla/Default. : And odds are, people do not want to go switch into a custom game to only play : with a couple friends, over and over again. Why would they? Yes, I would agree with everything you just said. But 343 has definitely said more than once that there will always be some amount of Vanilla/Default Reach available. Whether that means one little 2v2 Slayer playlist or what, I don't know. But they said it would always be around. Frankly, I think that if 343 wants to keep Default around, they should be careful not to make it just two or three playlists. Instead of making people that like Vanilla learn to switch to TU, I think it will just make them more mad at how boxed in they are. I think we are approaching that tipping point now since there are only four Vanilla playlists. On the other hand, if 343's vision is the TU taking over as much of Reach as possible (which it certainly seems like the direction they're headed), then having duplicates of each playlist with both settings seems counter-productive. Either way, 343 has the official numbers and the official game plan. I trust them to figure it out. : Heck, I don't know. Maybe we (Those disapproving of the TU) are all suffering : from "WHY THE HELL DID YOU CHANGE THIS! CHANGE IT BACK!" : Syndrome or something (What people suffer from when sites like Facebook : does a redesign). And it really doesn't help when they are TU-ifiying only : 3-4 playlists per month. Actually, in my opinion, it probably would have : been easier for us if they changed all of the playlists to TU-enabled when : H: CEA released. I think it would have been better to just change all of Reach, but they thought those that hate the TU would appreciate having some playlists around. I guess some people can't be pleased.
