Nice update. Are the added maps for all of Social or just Rumble Pit? I assume the bullets meant Rumble Pit, but I'm not sure...

Nice Update
The map Vindictive looks awesome
Cool pics

See you Monday BUNGIE

second page! no mythic codes??

Ok, here is my take on the April update.

All good except 1 thing. Removing grenades from Team Snipers. Why? They were the only way to kill those shotgun camping girls that shouldn't exist in the playlist...

Other then that, all good.

This update = awesome. I love that you guys have been showcasing the maps that will be soon be put into Matchmaking. I'm looking forward to be playing on those maps when April 9 comes around. Especially Plurality. That was supposed to be a remake of Solitude, a map cut from Halo 2, right?

And, what happened to Cube? I know the map was mentioned in this update, but that didn't get the showcase. Oh well. It doesn't matter anyways-I'll eventually play on the map.

I like the changes for the April playlist update. I'm happy to see the Rocket Launcher issue on Sandbox has been resolved, as I've seen some people complain about it. I've never been a fan for Flag gametypes on Smashed, seeing as the games always end in a stalemate, so I'm happy about that.

Sad face about Grenades being removed from Team Snipers. Now I can't flush out the campers. =(

I see that some of the maps showcased won't be available once the April playlist update comes out. I'd like to play on Vindictive and Wastelands. Will they be implented into Matchmaking at a later date?

EDIT: Yay! Team Mythic will still be there during April! That answered my soon-to-be question that would have been posted in Optimatch.

Oh noes, no more screenshot contests. I guess I read too much into the humiliating part of the contest description... must get ready to use 800 MSP then =).

Most of the playlist tweaks are making me happy!

Awesome!

I still dont understand the B.U.N.G.L.E why was taken off the news... anyone explain?

  • 04.03.2009 4:01 PM PDT

it would have been nice if they could have said if the bungle maps/variants would get their own doubleexp weekend. I mean so many people are asking for it.

B.U.N.G.L.E. was an April Fool's joke.

i lost!
You made me lose the game...

Anyway, nice pictures, and a good-looking map from the S man. Is there a specific tagging contest this weekend? I really feel like getting some friends together and having a stab at it.

Even if it doesn't yield any prizes (what could I possibly want? I already have the maps, so I'm set), but maybe the pictures could be shown in the next weekly update?

Just thinking aloud.

Thanks for choosing to whine over being a productive member of the community and possible element towards advancing Reach.

Well that's it. Now the waiting game for April 9th is real.

I've done just about everything I could to get in early (except buy Halo Wars: LCE obviously).

But..it'll be worth it. I know it will.

No it wont be. The maps nowhere near live up to the hype you have for them.

  • 04.03.2009 4:36 PM PDT

Vindictive looks great. Nice job.
