I only have Halo installed on my Xbox. I have a nice PC so it is the quintessential Halo box.

Landfall is a solid map. Halo 4 had some pretty good DLC maps with Monolith, Landfall, Perdition, Shatter, Skyline and Outcast.

Req idea: Halo 3 BR and everytime you switch to it this soundbite plays.
Agreed.
Yep. Perdition is a map that would have benefited a lot more from assym. game types and could in fact be better as a remake than it was in the base game.
Still think Monolith is up there as one of my favorite Halo maps in the entire series. Another map that would probably play better now without load out DMRs.

How about a Monolith remake with an ancient Sanghelios aesthetic?

You may be right. But if their populations are so low it almost just doesn't seem worth having, and hope those players add to the pop count of Social Skirmish or something the rest of the population likes more. Or why not try something like double XP/RP weekly playlists for them to spark interest?
Avalanche remake will be even better soon. They made an actual forge piece for the spinning rings, and an axle piece to aid it's spin.

Social Skirmish (CTF, Slayer, Assault, Ricochet, KoTH)

Social Arena
Team Skirmish (Put in Breakout)
BTB
Action Sack (Put in Fiesta/Super Fiesta)

https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/monitor-s-bounty-warzone-update
God damn this update is massive! sounds like they are fixing allot of complaints we had with Warzone, W-Assault, and W-Firefight!
Can't wait to try the new difficulty Firefight modes. So from what I gather Legendary is the mode we have been playing with Heroic and Mythic being the new modes.

Any indication that this update will fix the framerate issues of BTB?

I enjoyed Halo 4's DLC, they added some really fun maps to the game that kept me playing. Also, despite its shortcomings, it had one of the best BTB experiences in the whole series thanks to that.

Yep. Every game had good DLC maps, it's just in Reach and 4 you barely got to play them outside the barely-populated DLC playlists.
This actually looks pretty good to me, though i wouldn't arbitrarily stick to 5 playlists per hopper.
Swat probably has a loyal enough following to justify a playlist. And I'm surprised theirs no social slayer playlist.
Any word on whether team skirmish will be 4v4 or 5v5?i hate 5v5

When is the update out?
Everytime Harvest comes up in the MCC Halo 4 non BTB playlist I die a little.

As the shooter market grows more saturated, I feel like map packs are going to start falling out of favor. That kind of business model just divides playerbases and results in massive dips in the population. This year alone, we've got Titanfall, Gears, Call of Duty, and Battlefield. Not to mention Halo 5 still holding strong after a year of post-launch support.
Maybe I'm just channeling my inner Michael Pachter, but Halo, Gears, and Titanfall abandoned paid map packs. Of those three games, the only one who really did poorly was Titanfall, and that's hardly because of its DLC model. Last I heard of Halo and Gears, turning to microtransactions was a significantly more profitable move than selling map packs.
Yep. I remember in Reach when they accidentally added DLC requirements to BTB, it went from 6,000 population to 1,500 in the next hour. Thankfully they fixed it real fast.
Hell, when we were submitting maps to Halo 4 for the CCs, we couldn't get Forge Island required for playlists because not enough people had downloaded it. A 100% free map. In a game that required you to own a hard drive to play it online.
We've still got Destiny which sort of has map packs, maps tied to paid DLC anyhow.
EDIT: Re-read and Destiny is not a traditional FPS so it doesn't count. Don't really play COD or Battlefield, but I assume they still use map packs.

Destiny gets a semi-pass because it's more of a heavily-instanced MMOFPS, and its expansions, not unlike World of Warcraft, add a lot of story content in addition to multiplayer stuff. There's some precedent for the pricetag.
Fuck Eververse, though. That stuff is so shitty.
And yes, BF1 and Infinite Warfare both have season passes with map packs and such.
Destiny also makes the previous maps free to everyone whenever the next expansion comes out.
Last few updates came out around 9:00AM - 10:00AM PST IIRC.
So, about 5-6 hours from now.
This gen really showed already how important free maps are imo but most of all support.
See Rainbow Six Siege for example. Just got a big boost again. I think we see season passes still with COD and BF because they still can get away with it because of the large playerbase. But hopefully they change soon also.

Thanks, trying to convince a friend, who absolutely thinks 343 ruined Halo and Bungie can do no wrong, to come play
I'm hoping the allure of Nathan Fillion is enough

Tell your friend 343 surpassed Bungie in terms of MP core gameplay. And you can also tell him that destiny MP is average at best.
Monolith, Landfall and Skyline were great maps, wouldn't mind remakes for 5.
Is there a way to force updates on the One? Not seeing it under Manage Game.
Pulling power to force reboot apparently. Trying now as I'd love to get this going before i leave for work so it's done when I get home
Hard Reset will usually force it. I did 2 and seems like it's not up yet.
Yeah, that's true. I was just wondering, because the PC update went live and thought it could be the case for Xbox One, too.

I'm surprised no trailer was released about this update! They always have a trailer with some bass dropping edits and cuts!
but this is a massive update. THANK YOU SO MUCH 343i. I know there is still a lot you all are (hopefully) working on, but the continued support, and the confirmation of 2017 updates is great.
THANK YOU!
Tell everyone in the Studio that the G0SU gives them the blessing and to eat some burritos today. thnx.

Black eye skull for 4/5 rounds in Warzone FF?
Really?
The one skull that completely changes the dynamics of Halo and turns it into a forced CQB game? Black eye skull made ODST FF a terrible chore against drones/buggers? Any other skull than that one would be fine.
Black eye is a terrible, terrible choice for Mythic WZ. It changes the mechanics and strategy way too much.
