I heard something about this before with updating playlists to include Mythic Map pack stuff, does anyone know when this is occuring and what it all entails?
I think that sometime soon matchmaking will be unaccessible without the mythic map pack. im not sure if its true but a bunch of guys were talking about it on gamefaqs
Bungie.net : Bungie Weekly Update: 04/24/09 : 4/24/2009 2:02 PM PDT not all playlist will require Mythic. Although, Mythic is incorporated into some of the playlist.
For May Mythic will be optional, but if you read the line above the category Softballin' it says that in June mythic optional playlists will be Mythic Required. So yes Mythic will soon be required for some matchmaking, just not in May.
