Since we're doing weekly updates, they will be smaller in nature but happen on a more frequent basis. Some additional clarification below.

*SPECULATION*

 

From what I read in the bulletin, and past bulletins. We are due for a massive update mid January.

 

Let's look at a few of the "features" that will be added early 2013 according to 343i.

 

- *Speculation* The update will be paired with spartan ops season 2

 

 

Spartan Ops returns on January 21. It will be tied to a normal weekly Matchmaking update.

There is not a date associated with CSR yet.

- Playlists such as Team Doubles, Grifball, Optimized Slayer Pro, Possible MLG

 

 

We're targeting early 2013 for the first three. They won't be released at the same time, though.

Yup! In early 2013. Our first focus will be 4v4, then we'll look at 2v2.

No hard news on this at this time. Sorry.

Plus any other things they feel the need to add. I might have missed some of the features they said will be available by 2013.

 

Sorry for the sloppy post!!

 

Feel free to discuss.

 

 

Discussed!

If weapons arent balanced out then say goodbye to the rest of the population left on this game

This shows though that 343i is listening.

Only weapon out of balance on the game is having boltshot on loadout. 1 shot kill weapons and 2 shot kill weapons belong in drops. Every other weapon but that one is in the ordinance drops. Get that in place and it's done.

For all people posting threads about matchmaking gametypes they need to read this.

herp derp i call bs on this. xD

These things should have been implemented in Halo 4 from launch date to avoid playing this catch up game, but at least 343 is working on it.

[Twisted Oracle 289]

343 is and should be working on playlist and updates to the game

 

Then I feel they should worry about weapons

[l Xenoes l 102]

I'll be looking to Team Doubles and Griffball. I haven't been able to get anywhere with the Close quarters commendation. I'm almost done with the multi kill one but, griffball will help me complete that and the hammer kills quickly.

...really wish there was a date associated with the CSR...

[Chris Hansen 92]

Just make the boltshot ordanance and a placement drop on maps as well. 90% of my bitching will cease.

The boltshot will always be a 1 hit kill weapon and part of the loadout. That's what separates it from the plasma pistol. If anything, they'll just shorten the range on it, which honestly, would be just fine.

[Cynical Hysteric 2]

I hope they fix that BS gun... it's range blows my mind to bits. Metaphorically too!

 

But CSR and smaller maps? I couldn't thank 343i enough.

[TRF BaDInTentZs 96]

Only weapon I have issues with is Boltshot. It's a one shot kill weapon and should either be a map drop or ordinance drop. All of the other 1 shot kill weapons are.
