Castle Map Pack news abounds in the first section of the bulletin.<\/p>\n

“To make sure you are fully exposed to the Castle Map Pack before its April 8th release, we will be spreading our coverage out over the next four weeks. The week of 3\/18, our studio visitors will be releasing gameplay videos and flythroughs of each map. The weekend of 3\/22, the Castle Map Pack will be featured in a panel and playable on the floor at PAX East. The week of 4\/1, we will be featuring strategy videos, the full list of achievements and a special pre-launch live stream.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

One of the not so cryptic news points is about “great anvils.” Which of course must mean FORGE<\/strong>, right??? Let’s hope so!!<\/p>\n

Next is the Matchmaking Playlist Update.
\nMore gametypes to come within Action Sack starting March 25.
\nBravo (Andy Dudynsky) chimes in with some important matchmaking news.<\/p>\n

“In the coming weeks, you\u2019ll see some sizable updates to many of our existing playlists as we prepare to launch CSR next month. We are also in the process of finalizing the design of our FFA playlist and nailing down a plan on how to best bring objective game types to larger parties. There are a lot of decisions to be made for both of these, and they\u2019re both on the way. Additionally, as mentioned above, the Multiplayer team is investigating how to best improve the various playlists. If you aren\u2019t already doing so, now is absolutely the best time\u00a0to post in the War Games Feedback section<\/span><\/a><\/span>. While you\u2019re there, be on the lookout for new weapon-specific threads, where you\u2019ll be able to leave feedback on Halo 4\u2019s weapons and sandbox. These threads will be posted in the War Games Feedback section tomorrow. As always, we look forward to reviewing your constructive feedback.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After the release of the last TU, we acknowledged there was more balancing to be done and more issues to address, and that we were actively working with the Halo 4 game team to investigate the feasibility of additional fixes. We can now announce that various teams across the studio have indeed been hard at work on an additional title update.”<\/span><\/p>\n

As well he points out that the red “X<\/strong><\/span>” will be returning to matchmaking! HURRAY. One-Shot on my “X<\/strong>“<\/span> is BACK!!!<\/p>\n

Finally BS Angel is back with an all new gallery of user created screenshots. These glorifying the Sniper rifle. To see them as well as the FULL bulletin follow this LINK<\/a>.<\/p>\n
