What are your thoughts on the new update?

I have not played recently and I would like to see what you guys think. Has the game improved any?

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

I thought they were putting FFA as an independent gametype in the MLG playlist.

Safe to say, I was sad :(

Could you please elaborate?

I never really played arena before; it was just a jetpack orgy. I'm not that familiar with arena.

Pretty much.

The only good thing in a while was jetpack removal in Arena, but all that does is make red team have even more of an advantage. Either way Arena will never take off and will still have a bad pop.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

I don't think anything changed at all, other than Arena.

I don't even know what it is...

And I mostly want to know how it affects the game; a lot of the stuff they add/fix is living dead related anyway.

For those of you curious.

April Changelist:

- BTB Heavies score to win reduced to 150.

We noticed that this particular game type has been ending with the time limit the majority of the time. To help the score limit and time limit be more balanced, we reduced the winning score from 200 to 150.


- Big Team Battle updated.

Delta Facility and Cragmire, both user-created maps that host the Heavies game type, were removed from Big Team Battle. Their creators are updating them, and we will reintroduce both playspaces once they are ready for the masses.


- Super Slayer updated.

The following changes were made to the Super Slayer playlist: Elite Slayer and some user-created maps were removed, and big-party matching was enabled (teams of 3-4 will be matched with other teams of 3-4).


- Swat updated.

Uncaged and Pinnacle were removed from Swat.


- MLG updated.

MLG was updated to Version 7 for both maps and game types, which are currently being played this MLG season. The third voting option was also removed, per MLG's request.


- Arena updated.

The Jetpack loadout was removed from Arena. We will be watching Arenas population to help determine whether or not this will be a permanent change.


- Powerhouse updated.

Fusion cores were added to the Concrete Vents area. This may or may not be relevant to jetpacker's interests.

Yes, they have been implemented. The update was yesterday, April 3rd. I made this thread b/c I knew there was an update and I wanted to know what people thought about it and how it improved (hopefully) the game.
