| So I’m sure as everyone has heard, and probably discovered for yourselves, there are two play lists available that we have all been waiting for. The MLG play list replaced S.W.A.T. almost a week ago, and Grifball has returned. If you have not yet played Griffball it is a must, especially if you’re just looking to have some fun. Also its double experience, and who doesn’t like that? One other thing the Heroic maps are now free so if you have not yet downloaded those, be sure to do so. New maps will be available on the 15th of this month, check out the trailer for them here. | |||

actually, griffball replaced swat for the double XP weekend hopper playlist. the MLG playlist is a permanent playlist. you might want to edit that in your front page news.

actually no, mlg replaced swat because swat was taken off when mlg was added, and I did mention that griffball was up for the double exp weekend

actually yes. it’s not a permanent playlist yet. you would have found that out on bungie’s weekly update on the 28th. here’s an exerpt to prove it. cmon mr. news guy. i was only trying to help.
“Flip the Switch
As noted on the front page, and hopefully discovered by now, if you’ve logged into Halo 3 today – Team SWAT returns for a bonus weekend after last weekend’s version of the Double EXP fast-paced headshottapalooza turned off early. We identified the cause of the issue and it’s one we hope to not see again.
Team SWAT will be available until Monday morning at 2 a.m., where it will disappear and another long-clamored for playlist will appear in Halo 3: The MLG Playlist.
MLG (Major League Gaming), for unaware folks, is an organization dedicated to competitive gaming at the highest level. Using the Forge they’ve taken Halo 3’s maps and gametypes and distilled them down into a focused series matches requiring teamwork, accuracy and coordination. For a pretty detailed description of MLG’s gametypes and settings head over to their site and check out the changes and their reasoning for them: MLGPro.com/playlist.
We’ve found that the MLG style has a real flavor to it. A few games and you’ll start to detect that subtle but important rhythmic difference. It usually takes a couple of games to roll back into “regular” Halo’s more serene pace. The slight speed and damage changes really do take some getting used to. Even if you’re not a fan of the hyper-competitive gametypes, give it a try, you might find you like it better than you think. Certainly fans of Team hardcore, the list this one replaces, should find a lot to like.
As for SWAT’s long term future, don’t worry, this isn’t the last you’ll be seeing of it. Halo matchmaking is about to go into its predicted renaissance period, with lots of new maps, gametypes and even more energy and variety than before.”

wow, all I was saying is that it was taken off at the same time mlg was added, hence replaced, yes I realize that swat was temporary, and mlg is permanent, but since they were switched out at the exact same time, thats what I meant by replaced. your argument is unnecessary
