    Well here is what it basically was:
    New Sandtrap==="Sand Tarp": No elephants
    New Epitaph==="Epilgoue": No Shield Doors
    New Snowbound==="Boundless": Only 4 of the 9 shield doors remain

    NO MORE RANKED BTB
    NO MORE SOCIAL BTB
    NO MORE ROCKET RACE SEPERATE PLAYLIST, its now in multi team with a low weight
    NO MORE HEAD TO HEAD

    NEW BTB DLC
    NEW FFA DLC

    LONE WOLVES IS 8 PEOPLE


    And as you probably heard, no Forge AI. Ever
    Discussion???
    Oh and somebody needs to find a download link for the three new maps, they are variants, not DLC

    Hopefully BTB DLC is as good as SBTB was.

    I think epitaph and snowbound will play better, although the fun of sandtrap was the point when the elephants were right next to each other in CTF. I will really miss BTB. It was always so fun, and now lone wolves won't take any skill whatsoever but oh well.

    After weeks of lame ass updates, finally something interesting comes out.
    I like this update, I'm glad they're getting rid of that God-awful Head to Head, and I really never dwelt in BTB much, though it sounds fun on DLC. Cold Storage in Doubles is awesome. I'm really glad as well that they deleted the damn shield doors on Epitaph and Snowbound. it was about time they did something about them.

    Well this isn't the worst update ever because there is some cool news, but the map editor news is just plain depressing. =(

    Finally we have a shield-door free zone for Epitaph and (well mostly free) Snowbound. Shield doors were cool at first until people started to realize that they were just painstakingly annoying in 1v1 situations.

    The top middle ones, two on each base.

    The shield doors gone:
    Large back doors
    two on bottom leading to caves
    large door near power cores underground

    Here

    I was on Bungie.net looking at threads that the idiots post and Lukems gave them their destruction by saying, "There is NO map editor."

    I still want to believe there is because I want a reason to play Halo again. So as many others believe, as do I, they think Lukem's did a play on words. An editor would be editing an already made map. A map creator would allow you to create your own maps.

    This made me mad. I think I am going to start a group called GIVE US A FREAKING CUSTOM MAP PLAYLIST it will be just like Lower the guns. Its Bungie's loss with Farcry 2's map editor a lot of people will just leave Halo 3 because Bungie won't give us what me want! Gladiators Snipers and custom maps in RANKED matchmaking.

    When everybody leaves halo 3 bacause Bungie is screwing up the game. Bungie will go out of buisness and I will sit on the couch, have a beer and just laugh my head off :)
