Subject: Playlist removal, combination and modification information.

The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.

In a Bungie update not so long ago Bungie announced:

"MLG FFA's removal is the first step in preparing Halo 3 for Reach's release. Between now and the day Reach is in your trembling hands we're going to actively downsize and concatenate Halo 3's matchmaking lineup. What does this mean?

1. Playlists are going to be combined, modified, or removed, based on how we predict they will perform once Reach is released. Ultimately the number of playlists will be reduced from its current number.
2. No new playlists will be added from this point onward.
3. Playlists will progressively become DLC required, leaving Social Slayer and Lone Wolves as the only DLC-optional playlists once again.
4. Double EXP weekends will come to an end on 9/13. But not before we throw them a little going away party.
5. 7 on 7th will live on, but beyond the release of Reach no further updates are planned for Halo 3 Matchmaking."

So if you're curious as to why any of the playlists you love have suddenly disappeared, this will be the reason.

Hope this helps, and will save many other people trying to find the update where this is from.

P.S. Feel free to add comments, that way it'll help it stay on the front page until next weekend which is the last Double Exp Weekend for Halo 3.

Ah right, I didn't see it anywhere. Otherwise I wouldn't have posted it. Only trying to help I guess.

Help is welcomed. That text there has not been repeated in full. But the plenty of summarized messages have.

Yeah I just looked and no one has copied and pasted that text I found. Hopefully (I know it won't but I can hope, haha) people might look at this before creating an, "OMG Wtf haz Dub EXP gon?!?!?!?" thread.
