Did they announce it in the bulletin?
Is there like a blog post somewhere that outlines everything thats being added to matchmaking tomorrow? CSR and the new maps are probably the big ticket items but I wonder what else is being changed/ added? I think multi team is going in right? I did look on Waypoint but that site does not archive or convey information well.

I'd be game but I don't really have any prizes to offer save for maybe a free bonus track made in your honor on Believe Vol. 1 or a doodle of your avatar or something.

This probably isn't a full list (they occasionally make changes that don't get mentioned), but here goes:
- CSR added.
- Castle maps released, are integrated into various playlists.
- Castle Team DLC goes up, 6v6.
- Multi-Team goes up, 6 teams of 2.
- Rumble Pit replaces Community Forge FFA.
- Team Objective transitions to 6v6, the world wonders how these decisions get made.
- Extraction is cut and moved into Team Objective.

Awesome thanks man, its always nice to know what's new/ changed in order to know what to try out. I didn't even know about Rumble Pit, hopefully that's just Slayer and doesn't include Regicide.

Why? Good console shooters get ignored and now we have to watch this shit. No thanks, just watch PC eSports, at least those games have competitive merit and global appeal.
No problem. Rumble Pit is just Infinity Rumble and Rumble Pro (both Slayer), so no Regicide to worry about.
I guess I could make a refreshing symmetrical map. Normally I tend to avoid them like the plague because they mostly look so ugly in forge and players get confused with orientation. Are all weapons in forge maps still ordnance drops or do forgers place weapons and grenades on maps now?
Are you still making that symmetrical BTB map? I wouldn't want to have you splitting your work time on two solid maps, so maybe symmetrical BTB map should be the goal of the contest. It would be great for you, goat, kiwi, and possibly fyre to take part in this or even just get their input. I'll come up with a prize, and I atleast have a 14-day gold trial and some other downloadables from the LE H4.
Because DMR, and that map in the video is just ugly. I'm sure he/she has a ways to go since there isn't even trees on the map yet.
We all miss Shadowrun.

Fighting games are something worth supporting, but CoD is donkey doodoo. I mean the reason why Halo gained traction was not having a PC version, but CoD doesn't have that excuse.Fariko vs EnVyUs coming up for the CoD Finals, 600k on the line presented by Xbox.

I'm at the gym but I should be free in like two hours at the latest.
Yeah, since 343's so bent on 6v6 we could try and have a large objective map contest. Bare minimum I could buy the winner Murder Miners.
My goal is hobo rat.
I'm trying to imagine a Hobo Rat and failing.
Well we laugh but this would probably happen.
Because it doesn't work with the modern sandbox and settings, it was bad in Reach and it would be in Halo 4
Why the hell do you take your cellphone to the gym?
Gym is time for pain! Cellphones? Ain't nobody got time for that!
Well I consider you pretty much a rat, so that look would be good for you.
Probably best if you don't

And Halo 1. Man that teamwork.. How can people hate Hang 'Em High? I can understand the remakes because of the subpar Halo games, but H1 HEH?!
So much strategy and advanced tech going on in that video.
Really? I wonder if people still play that.

This so much.
Yep, Tsquared is also there side casting. Ogre 2 team also was there but got knocked out early.
Cosigned, eventhough I'm not really into Dota or LoL.
I don't know, something just isn't right with CoD streams. I feel bored watching them. I didn't had that feel, when watching MLG Halo 3.

Anyone heared the story about Siglemic? He tried to do a 24h stream, after somebody donated over 1000US$ and hw fell asleep ~4 hours ago. Now 4000 people are just watching the stream, that says "be back pretty soon", until he comes back. :lol

I'm on. I'm too cool to watch the CoD finals.
Same, I'm not even on a Shadowrun tilt as per usual. I enjoyed watching MLG Halo 3, I didn't like the game, but I loved watching it. It was still good Halo action to watch, CoD is just dumb and boring, I don't feel any drama or interest in plays, matchups, or the game in general, it's just dull.
Shadowrun is still played daily by a dedicated and active small community. You can always find games at any time of the day, you might get roflstomped by most of the regulars, but there are always noobs playing it too. If you are gonna play it, it's best to play with a friend or two, playing solo can be frustrating if you can't carry your team or rely on anyone to carry you.UNKNOWN iXi said:

Remember when when the SIII use more traditional armors than the SII because the armors was really expensive? SIV says fuck you we will use robot armor no matter the cost.
But it's just a forge map. And if that's the case we should stop making BTB maps period.

That reminds me.
Has 343 explained the S-IV's in any of the books other than just a mention? I remember all the backstory we got for the S-III's when they were introduced (from books and pre-Reach vids) is why I'm asking.

You look bigger.
you aren't a kid.
Which is even more ridiculous considering that humanity was almost extinct at the end of Halo 3. Reach, humanity's military might was destroyed, Earth's home fleets destroyed and the planet occupied and yet humanity is ten times better off after just 5 years.
Why would they need to? Halo 4 is non-canonical.
lol
Also CoD tourney is making me snore.
You have a nice beard though.
I have the beard of a stalker, which isn't necessarily bad. But kids with no beard? Don't try to grow that shie, mang.

They are mentioned in The Thursday War, they were living only on Infinity. They are friendly and "Hot" (wtf), very human like instead of soldiers .
Most of their design looks more Hi Tech armor and other designs looks organic insect feels, they even made a jiralhane and elite armors that doesnt look like a Jiralhane and Elite armors (???).
Now they have manufacturing companies that made their armors like if it were Cars or something. Makes me worried if humans can use their armors, Spartans civil war or something.

Beyond the basic background the S-IV Program remains slightly clouded. We know that it follows a more ORION-like conscription because adult servicemen can now receive the augmentations, we know there are roughly 300-1000 Spartans on the Infinity, and we know they use privatized armor variants more often than not because the UNSC is in dire straits financially speaking. I also have heard that all Spartan generations are now their own branch of the UNSCDF instead of a sub-group of the Navy, with their own independent handling. The augmentation process doesn't seem to have the significant drawbacks to sex-drives that the S-II augmentations had, either. Considering they are all primarily veterans instead of being forged directly for the purpose of being a super-soldier, their behaviors err more toward the human norm as opposed to the slightly sociopathic tendencies of S-IIs and S-IIIs.
Spartan-IVs themselves were apparently first fielded in small numbers before the end of the Human-Covenant War. Yeah.
The technology jump from Halo 3 to 4 feels more like decades of rejuvenation and advancement, not five years. I feel that they wrote all of this stuff supporting the notion that Halo 4 would have been later in the timeline (perhaps around the time of the Reach eulogy or in the years leading to it), but Cortana's pesky lifespan kept them from moving it that far down. Considering how sloppy and convoluted a lot of the the Halo material is now, it wouldn't surprise me if 343 did write it like that and restructured it during development.
I have to shave every day otherwise I look like Wolverine
