So what can you do if you DON'T have mythic? I live on a very small island nowhere near a game shop so I cant buy Microsoft Points to get them.

Which playlists don't require mythic.

Action Sack sounds awesome. Is this one step towards community custom gametypes? Run For Cover does seem like hobo-heights but with a clearer goal and scoring than "stay on the pallets" and "don't die".
oO! And Team Sumo!

Interesting. Though, it greatly saddens me that you're simply removing Team Objective rather than putting more gametypes into it...

And I believe that Action Sack is going to be nothing short of a waste as it was in Halo 2.

Bungie has been doing so well with keeping the game fresh and updated. Why the sudden change in clarity? These two actions are a step backwards, in my opinion. And I find it to be disappointing. Everything else sounds good, though.

I respect your decisions but I worked hard in Team Mythic and I am a commander grade 2 so all my time wasted. If you do get rid of Team Mythic let the rank from it be transfered to plz.

I'm very dissapointed with the June MM update. I wasust getting back into Team Objective! And Mythic to? Only good thing is that most of the playlists require Mythic now. But how am i supposed to play CTF if theres no playlist that has it.

  • 05.23.2009 7:22 AM PDT

Mothball ftw

I've got to admit Bungie, I'm really looking forward to the June update. I'm going to miss the Team Mythic playlist because it's a great warm-up playlist, but let's face it, we've still got things like Rumble Pit and Social Slayer. kthx.

And, as far as anyone here who knows about Watchmen, I HIGHLY doubt any of you took the time to read the graphic novel. You should do that, and you'll understand why they said for so many years that Watchmen should've never been a film. Truly, a work of art. So put down your 360 controllers, modded or not, take the time to read it, and appreciate true beauty far greater than any screenshot, film clip, killtacular you got while goofing around and dropped your jaw, or any other sort of random thing associated you hold in critical acclaim.

I'm sure Bungie would agree with me that the novel is worth the read. So do it, but make sure to get your gameplay in too.

Good luck everyone.

And great job this month Bungie. btw L> 3 ball sometime.

Will the action sack playlist count towards social games played as it does not give any exp? If so, I think this will be a great deterrant to many MLG players like myself as win % is one of the ways players instantly judge you so I'd like to keep mine as high as possible. I'd also like to play this 'muck about' playlist butif it will guarantee that my win/loss goes down then I guess I won't do it.

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.

Thanks for the BWU.

I've been waiting for Action Sack...

Wow this update is -blam!- retarded. Why remove objective, it takes a lot more skill than most other playlists and generally is fun.

Also the Dub exp weekends look -blam!-.
action sack looks good though.
You can tell that this game cant be dumbed down anymore...

You are the exact reason Bungie is making this playlist 0 exp. You have lost sight of what a game is.

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

So we now have a play list that is officially "just for fun." Go Actionsack!

But why retire Objective? I mean that's a core playlist....unless Squad Battle is going to be tweaked for just objective games it makes no sense....

  • 05.23.2009 1:02 PM PDT

This sounds like a crap load of fun!

  • 05.23.2009 2:20 PM PDT

go ninja, go ninja, go! go ninja, go ninja, go!

dude no objective I had my highest skill in that

Retiring Team Objective is a terrible idea. Should've made it all BR starts (like people have been asking for forever) and that would've increased the population.
