I didn't get an answer when I posted this question in the March Playlist thread. Anyways, here I go: with the system changes to Ranked BTB and the reduction from 8 to 6 players and yes I understand that this "does not affect the total amount of players in a given game", but does this "reduction" mean we'll eventually get to see High Ground, Standoff, and other maps where 12 players would work in the BTB playlists?

Couldn't you just double click "Y" to stop the PP from firing? :P Nice update.

Yay bungie is forcing people to download the maps.. that wasn't the strategy I was hoping for, but at least people who can get them, but refuse to because of 'principle' will now do it.

Try making the maps cheaper ffs. Whats the bet you guys actually made less money because of the ridiculous cost. You need to change your accountants because they must be utterly retarded.

800 points for 3 maps.. loooool

Hey Bungie-

Using chan memes and passing them off as your own isn't cool. They already hate you enough.

“The More You Know: Plasma Pistol

Did you know… that when you charge up your Plasma Pistol (for that noob combo you’re workin’ on) you can actually let off the analog trigger very gently and slowly – and the Plasma charge is extinguished safely. This doesn’t have many practical applications, but it does mean that you don’t have to give away your position to everyone in the map with an unwanted Plasma burst. Adrian Perez implemented this feature during the Beta on the request of Swah and Jaime Griesemer. The most interesting thing of all is practicing it – it’s a lot harder to pull off than it sounds. Give it a try next time you play.



OR if you have another weapon at hand, you can just switch to that and no charge goes off or anything.

The Cotton Balls was hilarious. More Double XP weekends. New maps. Admiral Ackbar. "Spoiled we are," Drunk Yoda says. Something that the Bungie WSU fans will agree on, tomorrows game against U of W. If the Cougs win that makes it seven victories in a row against the Huskies. XP Well I don't know if you guys watch college basketball or not.

Somewhere out there... in an alternate reality... Marty decided to stay in the ad jingle business, bringing about an age of amazingly orchestrated Pampers commercials.

Each week (beginning late next week and continuing through March) here on Bungie.net we’ll have new information, images and details from the rest of the Legendary Map pack.

Awesome!

Pretty good update, but I misread the beginning, so that kind of put a damper on it. =p

Yeah, that punk William Shakespeare totally ripped it off of Iron Maiden, and then predated his work Julius Cesar to try and slip it by us, but it totally didn't work.

Are Bungie's lips sealed on this one or is just not going to happen? I would like to see more maps in BTB playlist; I'm not bashing the BTB playlist. As much as I love Last Resort, Valhalla, Rat's Nest, and Sandtrap, four maps can get pretty tedious after a while.
