Jeremiah, AKA NinjaOnFire has been hard at work testing, tuning and tweaking the latest playlist changes. And now they're live on Xbox Live for you to check out yourself. There are significant changes this time around and perhaps the most significant of all, is the addition of the Rumble Hardcore playlist.
It's tough. Think big kill tallies, lots of rifles, few superweapons and lots and lots of emphasis on marksmanship. It is not for the faint of heart and it is certainly not for quitters.
