Please clear this up for me. Is SWAT coming for just a weekend? Or, is it just double exp for the weekend. I am confused. I can deal with SWAT not being ranked, but please dont tell me it is only in MM for a weekend.

SWAT and Grifball in social? Makes me feel like a 4 year old again. Oops I leaked my pants.

Awesome job guys!

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!! Im so glad you brought swat back!!!!! I really don't care if its ranked or not :\ Im really excited about the grifball hopper as well! I need to practice grifball. The Dlc remake is great too. I bet their will be more people playing it now because of the update.

Today I also noticed that the closed green container on LastResort has been replaced by an open one to prevent players from blocking their flag with it in CTF.

Nice!

whats the difference between "team dual" and "team duals", mentioned in the new DLC playlist update? ... and... Is "territories" being replaced by "king of the hill"?

  • 03.05.2008 2:58 PM PDT

You'd probably shoot back if i wasn't T-bagging your dead body.

I was waiting for them to divide up the DLC playlist... yay, no more territories for me

what exactly are the "fixes to exploits on the maps"?

  • 03.05.2008 3:02 PM PDT

I'm confused.

In Ranked matchmaking the Trueskill system rates games of mixed skill levels as "low quality" and the experience points awarded for a win are reduced accordingly. As I understand it, Bungie tweaked these parameters somehow to enhance the negative impact of attempting to "boost" your skill level by teaming up with players of much higher skill. So, mixed parties result in a slowing of skill level advancement to discourage this skill boosting.

With the mixed party restrictions turned off in Team Slayer and Ranked BTB, does this mean that this anti-boosting mechanism is also disabled or can we still count on ranking slowly, or not at all, if we go in with a mixed team?

I need to know because I would like to go into Ranked BTB with friends that I previously could not play with, due to the differances in our skill level...while at the same time I don't want to do this if it means that my skill level advancement in that playlist will effectively halt.
