Halo 4 Matchmaking Update: 5.6.13

[343iBot]

Today's Halo 4 Matchmaking update welcomes the addition of new maps into existing playlists, as well as some other fixes and optimization. The maps that have been added were originally showcased in our Community Forge Test and FFA Forge Test playlists, and have since been updated to provide new experiences across multiple game modes. Please note that this list slightly differs from the information provided in the Bulletin - we are working with the below Forgers to ensure that the correct versions of their maps are showcased.

The following maps have been:

Added to SWAT
Black Site by The Fated Fire
Plaza by Smexi Bilzo
Shutout by SaLoT and NLTROOO

Added to Rumble Pit
Black Site by The Fated Fire
Simplex by SaLoT

Team Snipers
Shutout has been updated with improved respawn points for Team Snipers.

We have decided to remove Shutout (a remake of Halo 2’s Lockout) from the Rumble Pit playlist due to how this version of the map flows in Halo 4. An updated version of Shutout will be placed into SWAT, Team Snipers and Infinity Slayer. Additionally, Simplex will be updated to the Team Throwdown version across all playlists with the exception of Action Sack, as Lightning Flag plays best on the prior version of Simplex due to lines of sight and other factors.

Other Matchmaking updates this week include removing the Grunt Birthday effect from Fiesta Classic in the Action Sack playlist, as well as fixing the suicide respawn point on the map Settler. Lastly, we’ve updated several of the Grifball settings to reflect the correct community settings in regards to Base Player Damage, Grif Damage Resistance, Grif Shield Multiplier and Suicide Penalty.

We hope you enjoy these new maps and updated game variants, and we'll see you on the virtual battlefield.
