Great Update I think this is the first set of maps that I'm actually gonna buy just for Blackout
What was that thing about getting killed with the sword in Grifball?
That just shows that you suck and should quit halo.

Thanks for the great update, it's just that me and my friends were thinking. Why did you put Living Dead in the play lists. The Zombies can't jump high or don't run as fast as other zombie games that some people play. I really hope you put Grif Ball or Team Swat on there instead of Living Dead.

P.S I really like the idea of making Team Swat a full time thing, Thanks again. A T34M

can I get some recon armor because i was hacked and the guy took my microsoft points that I was going to use to get the new maps. But getting recon would be the best i could show all my( virtul) friends. How Can i get recon? My friend SG mahone makes the craziest slayer and just random maps, maybe he cuold get it.

i hope team snipers does well as a double xp weekend, maybe we can see it in the ranked playlist soon enough. My only major gripe is that you judged Team SWAT's addition based on its popularity. I for one will not be getting the Legendary Map Pack until my GTAIV arrives with 1000points (love from HMV.co.uk) so surely not as many people will be registered playing Team Snipers because not everyone will have the maps to play.

otherwise HOORAY!

I think all the double exp weekend have been great. Games like grif ball and swap are great but i think would be great to add a stick grenade game to the play list for double exp weekend me and my friends play all the time on several maps we made through forge its always a fun time

Great update thanks Bungie!

Suggestion: For the issues implementing the DLC maps into playlists and matching with users not having them...

Not sure of how hard it would be to do, but why not essentially duplicate all of your current play lists into seperate communities, i.e. Non-DLC and DLC based. Only allow people with the DLC to go into the DLC-based playlists?

Just a thought. Aside from implementation challenges, this seems to be the most logical way to do things.

Anyhow, thanks again!

...Can't wait FOR NEW MAPS!
They look pretty nifty.
And the forging looks phenominal.

Team Swat and team Snipers in one update? it's too much goodness, it must not be real. I dont suppose Bungie will prohibit the use of elite armour permutation in swat, because it is such cheap and huge advantage, but i refuse to join the sellouts.

im really excited for all the new updates their gonna be exciting, but i'd really appreciate it if you made team control into a double xp weekend thing, cause i really like team control just for a warm up fun game, i like playing it w/ my group of friends so if you could do something liek that i'll be very happy along w/ alot of other people

thanks.

<<I’m afraid, though we’re looking at the best way to remedy it. In the meanwhile, we don’t want people downloading the Legendary map pack to feel alienated. As such, Team SWAT will be Legendary required, as will weekend hoppers (save Grifball).>>

I've been a Bungie fanboy since Pathways into Darkness, and really did think the world was coming to an end when Bungie was snapped up by Micro$oft. It ment they would be constrained as a business to maximize profits.

The Heroic hoppers were lame, so I can appreciate and understand what Bungie is trying to do here, but it's just the wrong approach in my opinion and just wreaks of MS greed. I could be wrong, but I'd guess they might increase sales of the map pack by around 20%-30% (maybe more, we'll never get to see the comparison between Heroic and Legendary sales), which at that volume is still great. However, they're going to piss a lot more people off, including much of that extra 30% who paid $10 for a playlist that should have been included in Sept 2007. SWAT was extremely popular in Halo 2, Bungie knew this and they've been sitting on it this entire time to maximize profit on it. The popularity of Halo is waning. It has stiff competition and only time will tell if this Legendary gamble will pay off or not.

The real solution for the DLC hopper problems would be to invisibly segregate the haves and the have-nots within the regular playlists. Simple in theory, difficult in execution or it probably would have been done by now. A possible easy fix to this, add a few regular playlists(with all of the maps) to the DLC playlist section that only those with the DLC content can join. Bingo!

Hey do you guys notice that the maps in the zombie games for the doubles exp last weekend sucked? I mean I can make maps that are better. Plus it's made so everything is like cardboard and breaks too easily. Help me answer why these maps suck I mean why cant Bungie put good Maps on? One more thing, I think they should take out zombies and put griffball back in.
