Bravo writes this week’s bulletin. A little talk about cupcakes then on to the Halo stuff.<\/p>\n

Community Playdate<\/span><\/strong>
\n\"platdate
\n<\/a>This coming Monday, the 343 team will be hopping into Matchmaking. Normally, we enter as a team, and this results in a mix of wins, losses, and good times. This month\u2019s community playdate, however, will be slightly different. We\u2019ll be heading into the Big Rumble playlist, which means we\u2019ll be split up and playing against each other as well as many of you on Monday night from 6-8pm PST. This will likely result in interoffice arguments, bragging, and emailing one another screenshots of Post Game Carnage Reports on Tuesday, which means it\u2019ll really just be like any other Tuesday. Unsurprisingly, bs angel is already telling me how badly she\u2019ll be beating everyone come Monday.<\/p>\n

We hope you\u2019ll join us in Matchmaking on Monday evening! Look for the following gamertags:<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

On Monday, Big Rumble premiered in Matchmaking, with the Community Choice Poll-winning Quick Draw available in the voting options. The playlist features 12-player Free-for-All for the first time in Halo 4 Matchmaking, and will be around until March 3rd. Next week, we\u2019ll have some details about Medal Madness (coming 3\/3) but today, we\u2019ve got another opportunity for you to vote on which game type you\u2019d like to see added to Halo 4 Matchmaking in our next update.<\/p>\n

Community Choice: Rumble Pit Game Types\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For this week\u2019s Community Choice Poll, we\u2019re asking which throwback Rumble Pit game type you\u2019d like to see added to Halo 4\u2019s playlist. We\u2019ve got three options that may take you down Matchmaking memory lane, so let the nostalgia kick in and vote for your favorite in the forums.<\/p>\n

\"community
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Rumble Snipers\u00a0<\/span>
\nPlayers are equipped with UNSC Sniper Rifles, Magnums, and dreams of headshots and Snapshots.<\/p>\n

Rumble Swords<\/span>
\nBe quick, nimble, and for goodness sake, watch your back.<\/p>\n

Rumble Rockets<\/span>
\nExplosions. Explosions everywhere.<\/p>\n

Head here to vote on the Waypoint forums\u00a0<\/a>where voting will be open for approximately four days. Next week we\u2019ll announce the Community Choice winner along with the Matchmaking Update!<\/p>\n

HFFL:<\/strong> I’m torn here. I’m not one for sniping. Rockets are too powerful, yet might be fun. There’s already an all sword game in Action Sack called “Clang of the Hill.” So I think I’m going to pick Rockets just for the ‘SPLOSIONS!<\/span><\/p>\n
