Says 4v4, does 3v3, not 2v2, then has max party of 2v2. WTF.
Maybe it means that 4v4 in addition to Ranking is coming soon.

I'd say the people that wanted the CE playlist the most and the people that have been dreaming of playing CE online for over a decade are very happy it's 2v2.
CE plays best in
2 v 2 and BTB Objective

3v3 CE is sooooooooo good.
And nicee, Objectives.

I'd rather they just have a Team Doubles playlist, but I understand that the majority of Halo CE MP was played 2v2 back in the day so it's nice to see 343i supporting that classic play style. That being said, I'd still prefer to play CE in 4v4 but that's just my personal opinion.

Dun care... it's a CE-specific playlist!
Obligatory...

Sweet. Keeps the CE diehards out of other playlists. Potentially less quitters when their game doesnt get picked.
Looking forward to getting some CE in as well

You're thinking of Halo 3 lol.
Looks like Josh Menke has left 343.
Finished designing Halo 5's system I assume?

A while ago my brother showed me a game where kill cams where activated in H2A. I haven't played it that much because of the state it's in, but I've never come across kill cams before. (except for some pre-release footage).
Are they on in a specific gamemode or did they just glitch their way back in? I wouldn't be surprised.

This far out? We are supposed to be testing it in the beta.

It worries me when I see people who work on games leave the company prior to the game's release.

3v3's in CE are awesome. I would have preferred it to have a 4v4 playlist that allowed for 3v3 and 2v2, then have a 2v2 playlist later because I usually play with more than one other person.

They probably tried to make him fix the MCC and was like "fuck that".

Yesterday I had all manner of in-game glitches across the three original titles, the worst of which was a sudden 'locking' of my aiming reticle in Halo CE. During two separate firefights the reticle either froze or started pulling in the other direction. Not sure if that's a one off, something that's present in Halo PC or something else. Hasn't happened before or since.

Cortana is the AI in charge of MM and after all these years she's going rampant. It's only logical.
Love your posts because the proof is in the pudding. Right there you're seeing just how many glitches and bugs still exist. And it's just one person, amplify it for the rest.
All those maps suck for 2v2. You could make an argument for Longest, but Chiron and Boarding Action are absolutely awful.

Yeah I agree with this but I'd like to see Longest in there too since it isn't in any playlist yet.
Also made an entire team quit halo 1 on my own XD. I love the pistol so much

I'm really enjoying the new found ability to stream haha.
Now CE's netcode has been tidied up H2C easily has the worst hit connection issues. I can't understand how so many seem to have a problem with the H3 BR, that game has been night and day from its original incarnation, connection-wise. I've had maybe two games where registration has been iffy whereas H2C has problems every game and CE was a joke up until the most recent patch.
Oh and put my vote up for Longest in the CE playlist too.
Seems like a promotion for him. His work will be at the forefront of all big name Activision Blizzard games again. Though I don't see how it's a positive that the guy who designed the ranking system, leaves a year before it's actually released into the wild. Pretty much guarantees future Call of Duty titles will have better ranking as well.

I can scientifically prove that Chiron and Boarding Action are the best maps in the history of Halo.
inb4 Destiny ranking
Eh I enjoyed playing all these maps on PC. More maps the better. I have yet to play those maps I mentioned as well as Danger Canyon and Death Island which never appear in BTB for me.
Please do.
Now I'm not saying that those maps are just god awful no matter what, I just think that they're pretty bad for 2v2.

Boarding Action better be in team snipers when they get that playlist up.
Mmm yeah. Rockets on Chiron is pretty good for a party gametype as well.

He doesn't seem to be leaving due to bad blood, seems like a genuine promotion/career opportunity. Not as worried.

Rat Race for Halo CE playlist
I don't think there was any bad blood and it seems somewhat quite normal these days for the industry, and while of course we shouldn't be worried, but I think maybe two pages back we were talking about 343 and Halo being used as a resume builder in a sense. High turnover rate of employees. Can't really build a studio or develop the series if a lot of the top key guys leave after every iteration.
I mean he comes in, designs a new ranking system, and leaves literally a month before it'll first be tested for the beta, and a year before it's actually in the wild. Sure he probably worked with key guys who understand it just as well, but still. What good is it to Halo if a lead level designer comes in, works on the game, and then leaves before the next one instead taking what worked and didn't work somewhere else.

You know...the fact that they were able to fix up Halo CE of all games with a few extra weeks of coding netcode really does prove that this game basically shipped unfinished
You mean the game not working a month+ after release wasn't enough of a hint?
