Are the ricochet maps everything you dreamed of?

No but there are some good ones for sure.

Man, those enemy designs are awful. I still can't believe someone approved them.

Looks like the competitive community is switching to Halo 3 for AGL 10 Indy.

Tashi, are you working on/testing Ricochet specific maps? Like the maps were designed to be played with Ricochet?

Sounds good. I might have to plug in my Xbox again if that's the case.

Yes. It's for a Ricochet specific playlist. The gametype is the normal MM one so there won't be anything crazy.

Some maps were made specifically for the playlist while many others were old maps made Ricochet compatible. Some work, some don't, some are great, most are not. Just like with anything else haha

I figured since ViewtifulJC is an ex-halogaf veteran, it'd only be fair that I carried the mundane MK mantle by also doing Sub-Zero.

I debated Noob Saibot but it didn't roll off the tongue as well.

Oh the memories of MK in the arcade and SNES.

Yep, Halo's still dead.

The DLC requirement for Team Slayer is removed. What was the pop. effect when they turned it on?

 

[CyReN]

Major Nelson would lie.

Shocking, the DLC requirement for Slayer is removed. What was the pop. effect when they turned it on?

Not sure of the actual numbers but it was pretty huge.

So much for a Halo 3 revival. I wish they would elaborate on these "limitations" as I'm sure it would be of great interest to many of us.

 

[Madness]

LOL, it went from like close to Big Team Battle in that it was easily pulling in like 5-6k to like barely 600 people. I was wondering why Team Slayer nosedived. Seems like it was the mandatory DLC requirement. I wonder how this will affect making DLC mandatory in the future.

 

[Tashi]

Damn Frank I didn't know you were gonna be in NY for NYCC. I would have bought a pass for tomorrow to come say whats up.

 

[User 73706]

Considering how much 343 can't do due to bandwidth, it's a great thing we've made leaps and bounds in terms of technical limitations with Xbox One's cloud setup! These newfangled advancements mean we won't be running into problems like this in the future and it definitely means 343's not pouring more research into these problems because they're too busy making sure Halo 5 is a good game, right?

Right?

 

[PNut]

It went from 4,000 to like 600. The DLC maps suck anyway so no surprise there. Every forge map is better anyway.

Legendary BR's on maps like Simplex, Onyx, Haven, Shutdown, Opus and even Adrift are actually fun to play.

 

[zap]

Wait, Halo 3 won't have a playlist update?

Can someone please explain how changing around some playlists is so much of an effort?

I'm not going to say I told you so, but it was 100% clear Nelson was full of shit.

edit: they've put Mythic 2 on sale for 5$, according to their FAQ.

Cool, I guess. Legendary was like $2 last I checked and Mythic 1 was $5 I think.

They should all be free but lol microsoft.

Gonna be the cheapest time to get it, probably, if you want to switch from using the Mythic disc to using the GonD + DLC.

wahrer was already a zero

now he is even less

rejoice!

I can't wait until Halo 3 becomes free. I mean sure, they aren't updating playlists... But it's been too damn long since someone has called me "dirty Colonel trash". I've almost forgotten what it's like.

So when I'm salty, I'm now double negative, meaning I'm in the positives?

I knew this was the right choice

 

[Barrow Roll]

TEMPTED TO BUY MYTHIC 2

so i'll never have to choose between campaign and mythic disc ever again

for a game that came out in 2007

i don't even have XBL gold anymore

LOL NOPE. TOO HARD.

It's mother fucking Halo 3. Parachute resources at the problem..

I'm disappointed.

 

[Twin Tails]

at least add griffball or something

 

[kittens]

No Halo 3 update is disappointing.

Looking forward to that PS4 launch tho.

 

[FyreWulff]

Also saw no mention of a DLC requirement when they were talking about the rotational Oddball playlist, so it looks like the rotational playlists should fare better now.

Yeah I would really like to hear how they are going to handle the playlists

Also, soon....

So, what ever happened to that Halo 3 playlist consolidation update?
