After the update? is it easier?

Korvanica

Has anyone else noticed that halo seems to be easier to win since the update? i keep getting matched against really bad people. its wierd, Maybe i just got amazingly better over night....

Also what ye all think of then update and new ranking system? I like it. plus snowbound is much better without the shield doors!

and the new forge map, so much fun!

I kinda enjoyed getting shotguns sprees behind those shield doors !

I find the update has improved things,havent noticed it getting easier but im guessing your a higher rank then me!!

Its made getting a new match much faster ,and its also great to have avalanche in the mix for the big team dlc,theres even a heavy variant for it!

Todays Halo 3 birthday i wonder what bungie are going to do ?

What new forge map? Boundless is brilliant though, completely changes the blend of the map. My favourite about the update is 8 player Lone Wolves...it's much much better imo.

I like the new ranking system too, it'l make me play different playlists more often.

As for Halo 3s birthday, theres a countdown on Bungie.net

My guess is Assembely today and mythic map pack around the live dashboard update. I doubt thy could release all the maps with zero notice.

neilk32

assembly is in the mythic map pack so i doubt that, could be so map outside the mappack. midship anyone :rolleyes: its probably just a countdown to there next project more than likely.

Midship would be awesome alright!God i loved that map!Doubt they'll do anything amazing for their birthday tbh. Unless they make the legendary maps free, which is no use to me whatsoever

Where'd you hear about the Mythic maps?

Korvanica

look at your achievement list on xbl,
Example:
… Get the Horns 25G
On a Mythic map, get a Bulltrue medal during any ranked or social match.

Can anyone tell me if there was any reason for the update? Good to see it got rid of all the blast doors and the ghost on Snowbound. Shame it got rid of the invisibility orb though.

Which map lost invis?? HC Snowbound only ever had 2 overshields. No invis.
Anyway they updates the ranking system and updates their ban hammer abilities etc. Someother stuff too behind the scenes so we wouldnt notice..

Ironically I got the Bulltrue medal on a Legendary map over the weekend. Any word on a release date? I reckon they might bundle the maps in with the expansion.

As far as I remember there was an Invisibility shield inside the little tunnel. Not the best description I know but its on the opposite side of the map to where the ghost was located and it was beside a respawn point.

Ah yea, origional snowbound. No that map version hasnt been around for a bit as it was rigged. One team started with beam rifle, overshield and brs. Other team only got laser and carbines.(and invis). Shotguns on that map too if i remember. Which was maddness with the shield doors. They put shotty back when they took away the doors didnt they? On boundless?

armour87

Yep, Boundless has Shotty back, each team with Beam (I like that) and no Splaser. Now a quality map.
