See below for all the changes coming “on or around” October 4th.
Beta Matchmaking Playlist added: This hopper
will
showcase the Title Update by introducing settings that you,
the
collective community, can check out and provide feedback on. It
features
a mix of Slayer and Objective (with DLC maps being optional),
including
the already released Zero Bloom Slayer DMRs gametype. Please refer to the
9.14 edition of the Halo Bulletin for additional
gametype and map information.
• Team Classic Playlist removed:
While we’re removing the
Team Classic playlist, we’re not forsaking the
classic community. We’ll be
reintroducing the classic experience when
Anniversary drops in November, and
even giving the players a defining
trait of Combat Evolved Multiplayer by
putting the three shot pistol
back into your hands, right where it belongs.
Speaking of which, is that
a Magnum in your pocket, or are you just happy to
hear this news?
• Premium/DLC Playlists condensed into one list:
Both DLC
lists are being combined into one playlist. We’ll be keeping
this list at the
larger of the two team sizes so that teams of six can
enjoy both Slayer and
Objective gametypes as well as Invasion.
• Bro Slayer removed from Team Slayer:
Spawning concerns
and feedback regarding this gametype indicated that
we will need to look at
additional choices for spawning locations if we
are going to reintroduce it
to Reach Matchmaking in the future.
Meanwhile, you’ll have to find some other
way to spawn on your bro.
• Atom removed from Team Slayer:
As part of our process
of cycling through community content, older maps
will occasionally be taken
out of Reach Matchmaking. Don’t take it
personally though, Atom. It’s not
you, it’s me. Ok, so maybe it’s you.
But whatever.
• Stockpile added back into Team Objective:
The addition
of Stockpile back into Team Objective will ensure that the
Stockpile-based
achievements are supported and attainable. Bleep bloop!
• Matchmaking updated to allow Co-Op Campaign and Firefight play with
no HDD:
Can I get a whoop whoop? Or maybe a what what? No? Ok, moving
on.
