PAX East<\/strong><\/span>
\n\u2022 BS Angel announces the contest winners who get a ticket to an exclusive pre-PAX party.
\n\u2022 There will be a Halo 4 multiplayer panel: Past, Present, and Future<\/strong> that will take place Friday, 5-6PM.
\n\u2022 PAX East floor experience Friday-Sunday 10am-6pm.
\n-This allows folks to play on the soon to be released Castle map pack. The first several hundred people will receive some swag. T
\n-There will be a Majestic themed FFA competition. Last person standing will get a\u00a0\u00a0GAEMS Halo UNSC Vanguard Personal Gaming Environment<\/a>. (How cool is THAT!) There will actually be three given away, one each day.
\n-If you can’t make it to PAX, follow HaloWaypoint on\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Facebook<\/a>. They’ll be giving away a GAEMS case for their “Free Stuff Friday.”
\n-Along with that possibly posting vids on the official HaloWaypoint YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Matchmaking Playlist update<\/strong><\/span>
\nBravo let’s us know that the Majestic FFA playlist will be replaced by a temporary “Community Forge FFA” playlist. The maps featured are the finalists from the\u00a0Halo 4 Forge Contest<\/a>. They are as follows (which you can download early and check out for yourself!):<\/p>\n

Black Site<\/a>\u00a0by The Fated Fire
\nBloodthirst<\/a>\u00a0by iiHopp
\nEdifice<\/a>\u00a0by Redemption1272
\nMalice<\/a>\u00a0by AgentPaperCraft
\nOpus<\/a>\u00a0by SHIFTY time
\nPlaza<\/a>\u00a0by Smexi Bilzo
\nAssault<\/a>\u00a0by NLTROOO
\nSerenity<\/a>\u00a0by DG Intensity<\/p>\n

Be sure to\u00a0head to the War Games Feedback section<\/a>\u00a0to let 343 know how you feel about these maps.\u00a0After a short time this playlist will be replaced by another FFA playlist that will include regular maps, Majestic DLC and possibly one or more of the maps above.<\/p>\n

There is a large update for “Team Throwdown.” (Too much to repost so check the link at the end to the full bulletin for all the specific details.)<\/p>\n

Title Update<\/strong><\/span>
\nHere is a list given by Bravo of the updates:
\n\u2022 Enabled \u201cX-Markers\u201d on the HUD to designate when and where teammates are killed.
\n\u2022 Updated Active Camo to fully reveal players when they fire all weapons.
\n\u2022 Reduced the auto aim, magnetism and damage on the Gauss Warthog.
\n\u2022 Fixed an issue in which some players at SR-130 did not see their Specialization on their in-game Player Card.
\n\u2022 Fixed various issues with ordnance navigation markers.
\n\u2022 Fixed various join-in-progress issues with Flood.
\n\u2022 Added the ability to make weapon adjustments via backend tuning.<\/p>\n

(I’m VERY happy the “X” is making a comeback. This is SO vital when calling out tactics in-game.) Camo users get nerfed! YEAH! I’m glad they are fully revealed when shooting. It’s a pain in the arse being shot from who knows where and not having much of a chance to retaliate. Thanks for fixing that 343. The last bullet point, Bravo says will come in handy in the future, should 343 want to make subtle changes on the fly without having to have a full-on title update.<\/p>\n

Screenshot Spotlight<\/strong><\/span>
\nVarious fan made screen shots are given a chance to shine in the bulletin. Check out the link below to the full bulletin to see them all.<\/p>\n

With that, BS ANgel wraps things up and is headed to PAX East.<\/p>\n
