This is a reblog from Halo Waypoint:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

By Bravo:<\/p>\n

For the past week, we\u2019ve been poring over your Halo 5 feedback across the entire game, tirelessly reviewing multiplayer data, and working on tuning tweaks as well as brand-new content. We talked a bit about just a few of the things that team is diving into and working on last week, and we\u2019ll talk about even more about what\u2019s to come in tomorrow\u2019s weekly update, but we\u2019re stopping by for a moment to talk about some playlist changes that will be made tomorrow morning pacific time. Let\u2019s dig into the details!<\/p>\n

WEEKEND SHOTTY SNIPERS\"h5_sniper_banner-ea387d37b495417f84912429b1aa62db\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

You voted in this week\u2019s weekend playlist poll, and Shotty Snipers was the clear, undisputed winner. This weekend playlist will be available starting tomorrow morning pacific time, and will run through early Monday morning pacific time. The playlist will offer increased XP rewards, and the game type will be available on all Arena maps (aside from the Breakout variants).<\/p>\n

Additionally, based on your feedback on map variety and rotations, we\u2019re making a few changes to existing playlists to improve variety. To start, we\u2019re removing Orion<\/span>, in its current form, from all playlists so that we can take some time to remove and patch map exploits as well as make additional improvements to the map before re-adding it where appropriate.<\/strong> <\/span>In parallel, we\u2019re also working on multiplayer spawns (and any exploits that arise) on existing maps as well, based on information from feedback and videos you\u2019ve submitted as well as internal playtests. Next, we\u2019re making some major additions to existing playlists by adding 15 additional map \/ game type combinations to the lineup. Here is a breakdown of the additions:<\/p>\n

New additions to each playlist are listed in bold.<\/strong><\/p>\n

TEAM ARENA<\/h2>\n

In Team Arena, we\u2019re adding Strongholds on Plaza, Capture the Flag on Empire, Slayer on Regret, and Breakout on Altitude. Here\u2019s a look at the new playlist layout:<\/p>\n
