From the 343 Industries Livestream at RTX 2013. “Pitfall”, a remake of the classic Halo 3 multplayer map “The Pit”. This is from the Champions Bundle and part of the Bullseye Pack!

This map needs no introduction. It’s a remake of the classic Halo 3 map “The Pit” with some minor changes. Such as a bigger-wider overshield tunnel with a gravity lift to the sword room, and a drop down hatch in the sword room. There will be a vanilla version for multiplayer matches though.

Is Halo 4 Dead? Population Numbers Continue To Decrease

Posted on by

As many of you are aware, the number of players online player Halo 4 has been on the decline. A popular image has been floating around the inter-webs demonstrating that there is in fact an elephant in the room… or lack there of.

Shown by this image, Halo Reach was pulling higher numbers this point in it’s video game life cycle than Halo 4. Which is a little disheartening and begs the question what does 343 Industries have to do for Halo 5 and beyond?

Here’s also a screenshot of the Halo 4 playlists and numbers shortly after the midnight release November 6th PST/PDT for comparison.

The Halo Bulletin: May 15th, 2013

Posted on by

This weeks Halo Bulletin covers multiple topics such as weapon balancing, matchmaking updates and more

Weapon Tuning Live Stream Event

Current State of Weapon Tuning

What 343 has been looking at recently. No final list yet.

We’ve mentioned that we’ve been looking at the overall state of game types with vehicular combat and attempting to find a balance with vehicle weapons that makes them the perfect mix of deadly, viable, and, of course, balanced. As of right now, both the Warthog and Mantis chain guns have received a 35% damage increase. In current testing, this increase provides a deadly method for objective play and Slayer domination for players who utilize vehicle play.

Matchmaking Update

Premiering this coming week is the Community Forge Island playlist, which brings with it 6 new community-made maps on Forge Island, and will be available until the June 3rd Matchmaking Playlist Update. If you haven’t yet downloaded the free Forge Island canvas, head here to download to your Xbox 360. The Community Cartographers have worked hard to select some of their favorite map and game type combinations:
