Infection, probably.

That would be my guess, it needs to be something relatively big to hold it back, but didn't they say it would be part of this update? Which is why they didn't show the full trailer?

Showstopper is the reason I have assassinations toggled off.

So, new arena map, or new Warzone? Looked like a Warzone map.

New Warzone map. You can tell by the copy-pasted base.
Hey the ONI version is awesome!
Was expecting Commander Shepherd to appear during that tease. ;P
Looked like Meridian to me
sad but true

Torque looks really promising. Glad we can test out Assault and the new map in a social mode.
There was a building with West Armoury written on the side. Defo a Warzone map.
I was really hoping to see either a super quick infection tease or race or anything game mode wise. Rail mantis is meh but we shall see what else is in store.

I have no idea what is going on in this game. I have consistently won +50% of matches every day. I haven't changed my play style today. Yet today:
In my 500+ games there is no streak like this. I have only two theories
1 - I have suffered a stroke and lost my ability to play
2 - 343 has changed something server side / matchmaking

Still copy pasta bases... Wtf. I kind of excused it early on based on making sure people knew the game mode and it's goals, and lack of time to build content, but come on. Oh well, warzone is kind of shit anyway. Not sure how much actual unique spaces would improve it.

New Warzone map with an armory on it. Well the rest of the map looks cool from what I saw. Like burial mounds Warzone.
Was expecting the suppressors since they had the storm rifle in this update. Railgun mantis looks cool. Hope we get another arena map in that update.
Also, clearly it's possible to have REQ weapons on arena maps. Tom French even mentioned that we get the base variants now in Forge but he hopes to include more later. I'm guessing they are worried people will buy less REQ packs if they can use all the unlocks in customs. Still, it would be awesome to have stuff like Dying Star and Void's Tear in custom games.

I just don't think that should be a worry. You can literally queue up Warzone in seconds, whereas setting up customs games takes a lot of time (in my experience).

Significantly less with at least a few boosts. And commons can come in Bronze packs, right?
1st Warzone Saturday brought me 70k in ~ 7 hours. And I ran out of boosts like 25% in. You can get a ton of REQ's in one day.
And yeah, Commons can be in Bronze packs, but they are not reliable. You are losing REQ points, if you get nothing 4 Bronze packs in.
I saw on reddit for everything in the update you have to get 185,000 REQ Points. If that's true.
Medium sized is like not just some skins.. but not a new map or anything crazy.. hmm.
10 new Arena maps, 4 Warzone maps and 3 new game modes confirmed :O
Lol if that's true I'm literally never going to get the shit I want haha, they'll add more faster than I can earn.
