Ooh, thank the Lord that Mythic is now becoming an optional for my favorite playlist, Social BTB. I'm glad that I finally have the chance to get some Sandtrap action in there. And Punishment looks interesting, to say the least. Good to see that Shishka's stepping up and including some new community content to the web.

If uninformative, I was expecting it anyway. Good attempt at keeping us updated at stuff we already know, guys. You all pull it off expertly.

I am the hand of fate!

BTW, next time I see punishment in the update sub-title (I believe that's where it was), I want to see either mass bannings, a video of Shishka forcefully interrogating someone, or... you know.

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

BTB Mythic in JUNE!!! Woohah!!!!

Wow. My gold membership expired on the 20th and you pull this on me Shishka! Time to go renew my membership.

I'm extremely happy that the Mythic Maps are being integrated into more playlists. Team Slayer and Team Objective will soon require Mythic? Can't wait! I'll try to see if I can play in the upcoming Team Control DEXP weekend. Hopefully it'll be a recurring DEXP weekend.

Utah Mambo looks really nice, and I can't wait to play on it and Punishment. Congrats to Cosmic Rick and DEATHPIMP72!

Also: BTB on Assembly FTW!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!

I didn't expect that Sandbox would be added to BTB. It actually looks a bit too small. It looks large enough for Squad battle though. Any plans to add Mythic maps there?

Question what about grifball is it going to be all mythic cuz that would be sweet.



Nice update. I like reading it before posting.


It will still be on foundry until roosterteeth put up a mythic version of grifball. roosterteeth own the rights to grifball (i think) so bungie cant change it.


Anything made in Halo 3 is owned by Microsoft(with possibly some controling intrest by Bungie as well:) ). I'm pretty sure they can do whatever they want as far as Grifball maps go.

ALL VEHICLE GRIFBALL!!! Sunday! Sunday! SUNDAY!!!!!! Okay, that won't happen.

I love how they add new maps into matchmaking.
But honestly, I also want to see some Foundry variants. I don't understand why there are so few Foundry maps.
Also, I love how some playlists will require Mythic some time.

drat, ya'll removed SWAT from Mythic. it was really fun too

  • 04.24.2009 6:18 PM PDT

Respect in this game has, unfortunately, been tea bagged after being no-scoped by an invisible guy from across the map - LittlePikle

i like the removal of swat from team mythic. this makes the playlist a little more appealing to the halo middle class. almost all of the dlc up to date has been woeful in its implementation. a very welcome change of dlc usage!

Hey, what's goin on?

Great update, but does anyone know why on Living dead this weekend says "Max Party Size: 13" but you can't have more than a party of 1.

Nice update, I can't wait to see some of those updates for matchmaking. Mythic Maps FTW!

Pretty good update!

We just need to instigate more elitism and Mythic shenanigans.

Atlas has been swamped with members who don't read the rules, and I think the updates have been to blame.

Publicity is great, and I think that the more members we have the better, but too many people are just run in hoping to be the next author to make a map for matchmaking, and are too excited to read the rules. This really bogs things down, and although Shishka keeps strict watch over Atlas, he is only one man, so the constant improper threads tend to clog up the forums with spam for a while.

I like that you mention Atlas, but it would be great if you could remind people to read the groups rules first.

If we don't find a way out of this soon, I'm going to lose it. Lose it. It means go crazy.
Nuts. Insane. Bonzo. No longer in possession of one's faculties. Three fries short of a Happy Meal. WACKO!
:-)

so, if I read the playlist update correctly, starting in June, I can only play Lone Wolves? I've posted repeatedly in the past year and a half, that I am willing to pay for every other map set, and so I will be waiting for them to all come out when I buy ODST on release day.

a sad state of affairs if you ask me...

I'm excited for the injection of Mythic maps come June. I'm turning on my Xbox to go check out Punishment.

Two thumbs way up on the playlist updates. Nice job!

Obviously you didn't read it right, you will still have 8 different playlists that you can play in.

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

Good Update, great to see more community maps being put into matchmaking.
