Halo 3: Matchmaking Playlist Update 1
Posted by lukems at 10/9/2007 11:07 AM PDT

Halo 3's Matchmaking Playlists, just like Halo 2's, are dynamic and ever-changing entities. Even now in the perilous Bungie towers, we're looking at new hoppers, gametypes and modes to test for future iterations and changes of these playlists. Multiplayer Lead Tyson Green and test wunderkind David Gasca sent the following list of changes to us -- and these changes are live now:

* Big Team Battle matches are now 16-player affairs.
* In the Team Slayer playlist, the appearance of Shotty Snipers has been greatly reduced.
* Now, when players veto Shotty Snipers, the game that results from the veto will not be Shotty Snipers.
* In one-sided VIP matches, the attacking team will now see a waypoint for the VIP they are hunting.
* In Lone Wolves, Slayer gametypes will appear more frequently.

i don't like the thing they did with VIP though it was awesome not knowing where he was

yea, but that is outweighed by the reduction of shotty snipes. I think its really fun, but its kinda bs when you get team slayer like, never and shotty snipes every other game

yea 18/20 games being shotty snipes was getting pretty old, and hell i only played for like 2 hours

I'm sick of the mauler lol

J. · 10-11-2007, 08:38 PM

lol shostles i think their fun, but it is sorta like having too many shotty on the map (shostles=our code name shotty+pistol=shostle:D) we codename everything so we can be like you go get this and you go get this and idiots wont know what we talkin about so we further pwn them :D

okay...?

lol but seriously its just a dual weildable shotgun thats over crowded on the maps in my opinion. Just need to lower the power and it will be fine not even that much just so you can't one shot bash. Making it less available works as well for me.

or slightly lower the projectiles range so you have to be really close b4 itll really pack a major punch
