Wow! That's hilarious!
Anyways, this was one heck of an update. The playlist changes look sweet. I was just thinking to myself about why Head to Head wasn't in MM when there is Slayer Duel now. Hopefully, it helps eliminate some of the camping issues from H2's Head to Head playlist. Of course, one could still camp, and the would be attacker would still have to be able to take him out.
The reduction in weight for BR starts doesn't matter to me, as once you start moving up the ranks users will veto to get BR starts anyways. And usually there's always someone on the other team that hates the map that was chosen and gives you that fifth needed vote in the lower ranks. At least in my experience.
Rockets seems a bit, well eh, for a Double XP thing but I can't say I haven't had some fun times in Rocket matches. I'm really looking forward to 3 Ball though. 4 teams of 4? It's like Big Multi Team. Sounds like loads of fun!
RBTB being Double XP was a good move. Maybe now it will see some much needed boosts in population, though I still favor dropping it. Social BTB is good enough, games where you have that many friends coming along are more for the sheer fun rather than the "I must have a 50 in this" attitude.
I'm kind of baffled why Oddball Guardian was removed from the MLG playlist. According to thier website, Oddball Guardian is still valid.
I was a bit let down by some of the update. I was looking forward to the arena map Purple Reign but now it seems like a very vertical map sort of like Construct. How I loathe those, but no matter I can't really knock it until I've tried it.
It's also a let down to to hear that you guys won't be able to add DLC Armor Permutations to Halo 3. I was keeping my fingers crossed hoping you'd find a way to make it work. But, what about a Recon DLC pack? A DLC pack that unlocks Recon? You could sell it for perhaps 0 MS Points? :)
