All that I am, all that will be of me, is the blood on my hands, the memories of my fallen enemies and my respected comrades.

I have one thing to say...
I HATE KOTH SO MUCH IN EVERY GAME, GUFLAUGIN!!!
And just so everyone knows that last word was purposely nonsensical.

Lawls I also emailed the webmaster saying I want the gametypes that are on bungie favorites to have there own playlist or at least have a community map and gametype everyday. but I didn't see anything about it in this report so I assume it's a no go. But damn wouldn't that be awesome!?

"Carwa says:
I wub my Ryan. :3"

Me n' Fizz!

I have a question regarding the merging of DLC FFA and Rumble Pit. What of the EXP ranking in both of the playlists? Will they merge as well, will one replace the other, or will we have to start from scratch because I don't have a very high EXP rank in DLC FFA anyway, being only 14, but it would be nice if I didn't have to go and regain those few games.

Im tempted to say that this is your best update yet.
No more DLC :)
Big Team Social! Valhalla!
Unranked Living Dead!

Only bad thing = Rumble pit is all DLC, but that doesnt matter cos i have all maps.

Reduced weighting lowers the chance of a gametype/map coming up.

QUESTION: Will xp transfer over or no?

Campiagn Kill Count :31,745. And growing.

The Revisionaries- One of the greatest screenshot groups on B.net. With 250 members and growing.

Hopefully this means we'll get to see Last Resort again in the Big Team Social playlist. Hopefully they bring back covie variants too.

And, if you're doing a FAQ thing next week Bungie, I have a question.

In the Halo 3 coding, there is a section in the skulls about there being an Assassin skull, with a description. It is, however, not unlockable as far the community knows. There are also two skulls with no effects in the campaign, and two possible slots for skulls in the skull menu thing.

Were these two remaining skulls and Assassin skull description just scrapped/unfinished ideas? Or is there something more to it the community should be looking for?

Agree completely, particularly on the failure that is, making social slayer 5 vs 5.

Superb playlist updates boomshakalakakakaka boom

  • 01.04.2009 7:43 PM PDT

Okay, I'm a little confused it sounds like only Lone Wolves and one Social playlist will not require DLC. That doesn't leave me much to play. I thought that Halo 3 matchmaking was smart enough to choose only maps all players had. Now that these playlists are integrated why require DLC? Why not just let the community decide what maps get played instead of Microsoft?

Reduced weighting just means that gametype/map won't appear as often.

  • 01.04.2009 11:27 PM PDT

i saw that the weighting of VIP was being reduced in multi team...and it made me wonder...will there ever be a return of VIP to the ranked playlists?

i think it would work pretty well in the squad battle playlist...just a suggestion

  • 01.05.2009 1:31 AM PDT

Real men invert.

Looks like some good changes. Not sure about the "all DLC" requirement for Rumble Pit though. I mean, RP is where most people will go when they first get the game. Seems a bit harsh to squeeze people for more money just so they can play some random FFA stuff. Maybe change it so that it requires all the free DLC? Bear in mind this is coming from someone that has bought all the maps at launch. ;) Keep up the good work, guys.

  • 01.05.2009 3:52 AM PDT

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Cool news. Too bad my console bricked last night. (sigh)

Awesome! Cool to see the new playlist changes. I can't wait for more on the new maps!

I highly doubt it.

Finally!!! PTT is only for games with over 6 players!

Yes they should definitely get rid of the Motion Sensor in Team Snipers.

Halo 2 had it right.
