- Bungie Update By:

The most recent weekly update from Bungie was huge. I’ll try to sum it all up as quickly as I can, or you can read it for yourself here. First thing they talked about MLG Meadowlands, not much news there other than the plug for the scrimmage on Blackout today. Next they talk about the Legendary maps, and their promotions for it. Which will include a link to 30 seconds of video of gameplay on Avalanche, as well as the news that any one that buys the maps and plays any game on the map, custom or match made, will get a 4 month subscription to Bungie pro for four months? Also and I quote “we are not currently aware of any plans to make these maps available for free.” I realize that’s probably just a clever ploy to get money. New may playlist updates will include a Team Snipes playlist for double exp, as well as recurring Griffbal, and “secret” gametypes. S.W.A.T. will be added to ranked playlist with MLG. They’re trying to deal with matchmaking clutter by getting rid of search options on BTB such as extending matches to search within 15 levels, instead of ten. Other clutter will be dealt with by getting rid of mixed party restrictions. Oh and the last bomb they dropped, once again a clever “Buy our maps or suffer the consequences” kick in the balls, was the fact that if you do not have them, there will be no S.W.A.T. for you, or any other double exp weekends, except for Griffball.
