Everyone start making you good maps know because good news Bungie is thinking about about making a matchmaking playlist of custom games and maps. It is In there weekly update found here: http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13233 This is the exact thing that bungie said: Hammered and Nailed With the vast volume of maps and gametypes being created by our Community, a natural evolution of Matchmaking Playlists would be to create a hopper dedicated to Forge creations – user maps like The Great Wall, Anvil and Cell Block 71 – and highlight Community-created gametypes on those maps, or on existing Bungie-built maps. The auto update will streamline and solidify the back end and allow us to pull Community-generated content into our Matchmaking Playlist. No, this doesn’t mean that Your Favorite Playlist is going to go away; in fact, it just means that in the foreseeable future there will be a playlist dedicated to your creations.
That may have been the most intriguing part of the update for me. Melee fix? New Maps? Forge Maps playlist? That'll definitely get some people playing alot more halo.
^^^^^^^^^^^ Yeah it may be underwhelming for some people on here. But I'm happy because I have no friends who will play customs, unless its 2v2 on high ground. Retard friends. Hopefully they will update it regularly with fresh maps.
prolly going to be all of the favorited maps, except the asthetic ones. maybe some good others, like Labryth or the Cellers or something...most others wont work, like it would be awesome to have Citadel in it, but it would be way too confusing for most people (including me lol)
I don't think they'd use the Cellers. Cellers can get really out-balanced sometimes if a member quits from a team (if the teams are small). Also they'd probably focus more on "full" maps. I think Depot would have a good chance.
From their news thing, it sounds like it will only be favorited maps, which most of them haven't been very good at all.
True. I bet storm the beach and stuff will be on there. I can also almost guarantee that most of the stuff from the forgehub best of 07 will be on there. Alot of featured stuff will make it.
Exactly what I was thinking. It will probably be the maps that everyone hates or dislikes which would be stupid. Bungie shouldn't pick the maps, the people should by having a vote or something.
But is storm the beach that balanced? wouldn't the people on the wall get way more kills than the ppl on the beach?
Yes but the scoring is based off of how many territories the teams capture. They switch off as the beach team and wall team each round.
qft... that means its gonna be a lot of old maps... and maps that arent that great at all and didnt deserve to be fav'd... (imo) and yea i agree with Wakko, the cellars would not work at all... its like comp minigame... not long enuf for mm
No, not like sword clashes. They just used the word clash. Honestly, I think the custom maps playlist is a terrible idea. Great, balanced maps, until someone quits, or just horrible maps. Hopefully bungie thought it through more than we are...
How would the forge playlist work? A lot of noobs would make sucky maps just to tick people off. SERECLY out of 50 maps how many are decent, balenced and organized?
I don't think you understand. Bungie would pick the maps that would be put onto the playlist, not whoever is in the match.
