So what's MLG's reaction to getting their favorite gun back, in addition to perks and everything else?
I would be surprised if it was anything other than still bitching that the multiplayer isn't going to be as "pure" as the holy glory of god perfection that is Halo 1 multiplayer.
I mean, to these people Reach was an abomination because it has equipment; 4 isn't doing away with that at all so if they're anything but furious then olol.
Sadly I doubt 343 will have the fortitude to tell them to piss off like Bungie did and make the game they think is best instead of some shit they think they can market to the "pro gaming" venues.
It’s been said that April showers bring May flowers. Considering the Matchmaking Systems Team was so busy this month they didn’t not have time for daily body cleansing, they’d like to offer you a matchmaking playlist update in place of the more traditional botanical gift. The details of their aromatic bestowal are outlined below.
• Firefight updated.
The Firefight Arcade playlist was changed to Firefight, and new Firefight Arcade game types were added (with the original Firefight Arcade game types remaining intact). The new game types have been suffixed with NEP, which stands for "New Enemy Progression." As indicated by the acronym, you will see a more diverse enemy offering in all three types of waves–initial, main, and boss. Making a triumphant return to the same playlist are Limited game types, in both their original form and with a new enemy progression.
Firefight Doubles was also updated, adding new enemy progressions alongside the original Firefight Doubles game types.
I believe there are only three things left to say. And that would be bip, bap, and bam!
• New 4v4 maps added to Arena, Super Slayer, and Team Slayer.
We know you’ve been waiting for new 4v4 playspaces, and with the help of the Community Cartographers, we were able to scour multiple submissions and implement a handful of the highlights. The new community-created maps added to Arena, Super Slayer, and Team Slayer were Ellul, Imago, Temple, Midas, Unconquered, and Pulse. All six were added to Super Slayer and Team Slayer, while Imago and Pulse were added to Arena (as we found them to be a good fit for the symmetrical, competitive spaces found in that particular playlist).
• Team Objective updated.
We’re always crunching numbers and looking at statistics to determine how we can improve your matchmaking experience. Reorganizing voting options is one of the results of that regular data mining. To ensure you get a diverse offering of map and game type selections, we updated the Team Objective voting options to have Capture the Flag in the first slot, Oddball or KOTH in the second slot, and one of the other available game types (Territories, Stockpile, Assault, etc.) in the third slot.
In addition to the voting reorganization, we’ve also implemented a credit stimulus based on win-scaling to spur the economy in this playlist. Basically, that’s a fancy way of saying victorious teams will receive double the normal win bonus. So cap those flags and arm those bombs already. Objective holders, I may or may not be looking at you….
• Speedflag updated to lower carrier speed.
In Speedflag, we noticed a trend of defending teams unable to catch up with flag carriers. While I suggested military physical training exercises as the fix, we opted to instead lower the carrier speed. Consider your Spartan officially off the hook. For now, anyway.
• ZB Slayer retired.
While the Zero Bloom Slayer playlist is being retired (gasp!), those game types are not disappearing from matchmaking (phew). Hop into the Super Slayer playlist to keep them in your regular rotation. Keep in mind the MLG playlist currently features Zero Bloom game types exclusively as well.
• Super Slayer voting options updated.
Super Slayer voting options were updated to have DMRs in the first voting slot, standard Slayer in the second slot, and the remaining game types (including the aforementioned Zero Bloom variants) in the third slot.
• User-created maps updated.
Updated versions of Select and Synapse were added to matchmaking, and updated Heavies variants Rasu, Delta Facility, Asphalt, and Cragmire were incorporated into the Big Team Battle playlist.
Look for these changes to go live on, near, or around next Tuesday.

Hey Fyre, can I get you (or someone else) to clean up the spawns on my Magik map and submit it for the next round of voting?

The funny thing is, I thought Reach felt closer to Halo 1 than any of the others, despite the additions. I guess I'm just too 'stupid' to tell the difference.
By the way guys, 343 wants us to look for Anniversary map variants now. Basically if you have an alternate version of an Anniversary map, I'd be interested in pushing it up for this current task.
I've got one in the oven for Prisoner named "Arrested" that you can check out if you want.
Grifball got me the 23 kills in one game challenge easily. I also just cleared the 150 kills with precision weapons challenge.
11 headshots and whatever the other one was will remain unfinished. I've had enough for the night.

Recycling posts is very green. If anyone here was submitting content for my 3000$ challenge, it now has an actual deadline so I can begin processing the entries
http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=1129739
Hey, I kind of left the entry period of the contest open - but now is the time to shut it down so I can begin to sort through the entries. I need your map variants in by the end of May 5th (Cinco De Mayo).
You can either reply to the original post, this post, or email your GAMERTAG and the map's name. If you submitted a map to me before with a Bungie.net file share link and have NOT deleted the map off your share since then, you do not need to resubmit the map to me, since I know how to get to it.
I mean, that was about as dickish of a way they could possibly show up another team, but I dunno; just because there are players out there way better than me doesn't mean I don't want to play games online anymore.

Because it always seems that I'm exclusively paired up with players that are much, much better than me, and it just sucks the fun out of the game when you swear that you pumped more bullets into that person than he did into you but yet you are at the receiving end of death anyway.

How dare they create their own challenge--and they totally taunted the other team about it, except for when they didn't. Even had the other team muted so they wouldn't hear their call-outs, classy gents

If you don't think killing yourself 55 times in order to come back and still win is taunting, I don't know what to tell you. That is the definition of taunting.
Make a challenge for yourself, sure; but do it with people you know. Doing it against some randoms proves nothing except that you are better than them. Beating them 50-0 would have still shown their skill without the fact that they went out of their way to come back from 55 down purely to humiliate the other team.

Personally it's just an excuse to have more time picking on the weaklings. It's abusive.
Normally a game against such easy opponents would be over in a matter of minutes, but instead, they drug it out. It's no different than those games of CTF where one team gets the first two flags in 45 seconds, and then sits on the 3rd cap while they rack up their kills. They're enjoying the easy kills, so they stretch it out as much as they can.

Except it is different. In your hypothetical, getting that third flag cap and the win isn't in question. The win in this scenario is, given the score difference. Sorry, the two situations are not analogous. I just love how better players are almost universally characterized as dickish when employing less than classical tactics. Winning by a massive amount gets old for me, so I will put my sensitivity up to 10, maybe no-scope while on top of a banshee, or give some other handicap.

It's a stupid waste of time for everyone involved. Especially for pros like you, Soup Du Jour. Beat the other team in 4 minutes, stop fucking with them, and move the fuck on.

Using the words "less than classical tactics" in a defense of dickheads is perfect. Thank you for the laugh.

If only he used classy. Which they aren't.
Maybe if you could come up with a flowchart or something so I can know when it's okay to have fun, or you could run a workshop so better players are more conscientiousness of how sensitive some players are.

If the game is so stale that you have to as Kor said earlier, "abuse other human beings", you should move on. And stop being a fucking goose.

Thanks for the firefight match on wednesday, Fyre. Sorry I didn't have a mic in.
Replayed the Storming the Beach or whatever. The one where Marines charge the fields with Mongeese or whatever. Great mission. Heroic with 4 is amazing. Really helps the flow, and to make you realize you're fighting on the opposite side of a huuuuuuuuge battle. Fun stuff.
