343iBot Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Today we’ve added some new items into Halo 4 Matchmaking. The first of these is the addition of Neutral Flag to the Capture the Flag playlist. If you haven't yet had a chance to play this game type throughout the Halo series, fear not. We've broken down the game type details and flag locations for each map below. Neutral Flag Neutral Flag uses the same map layouts as currently offered in the Capture the Flag playlist, but places a single flag in a neutral (central) position on the map, and either team is able to capture the flag by bringing it back to their own base. After a flag is captured, it is returned to the neutral position, so be sure to time when you capture the flag! Neutral Flag is available on the following maps. Check out each map’s image for the location of the neutral flag stand. Pitfall Monolith Skyline Ragnarok Exile Additionally, we’ve removed Abandon and Meltdown from the Capture the Flag playlist due to community feedback and gameplay flow, and reorganized the voting options to prominently feature Neutral Flag. We hope you enjoy this game type and look forward to hearing your feedback. Community Forge Ricochet The Halo 4 Ricochet Forge Contest presented by Certain Affinity and the Community Cartographers has come to a close, and the Community Forge Ricochet playlist is now available. The playlist contains the top six finalists from the contest, which are: Parallax by thefro3po Butter by Purely Fat Hekau by MrGreenWithAGun Breezeway by GrenadeGorilla8 Firestone by Boxing Beats Inheritor by Squally DaBeanz In addition to these six maps being playable in this playlist, Shotgun Ricochet is also available on all maps. This game type won our inaugural Community Choice poll, edging out Legendary Ricochet and Quickochet by just a small margin. Shotgun Ricochet In Shotgun Ricochet, players are equipped with Shotguns, Plasma Grenades, and Thruster Packs in Shotgun Ricochet. Tune in to next week’s Bulletin for the next Community Choice Poll, where you’ll have three new options to choose from. Discuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
