Good games guys, i'm still online but i'm having weird issues... can't join parties, NAT open so i doubt it's my end but might be.
EDIT restarted Xbox, might be gone now. Or not. Can't restart my router though, at least not now, if it is the reason for issues.
EDIT alternatively, i cannot join Robbertser for some reason. Still having issues.
EDIT i'll get back online a bit later, write here if any of you still play Halo...

It was probably me, my nat type is moderate so I think that's the issue.

It's not like we've been getting anything decent from the latest Bulletins (except for the music one)

And we certainly won't get anything big right before E3

Seeing how parts of Lockout are in Forge... I'm surprised it hasn't been added to matchmaking.

Pit should also be in default reach playlists too.

Indeed. Considering it's not in matchmaking, I would have liked them to have made the pieces more general instead, because the Lockout structures are kind of hard to utilize.

Actually, those Hiding videos remind me...

For Halo 4 if there are community maps, 343i really needs to put effort into promoting them--have the creator produce a walkthrough or a map and put it in the update bulletin. I've been staying away from Slayer because that's where a lot of the custom maps are and even if some are pretty good I just don't want to have to work to learn a map that will appear maybe 1 match out of 20.

Also, rotate in and out maps in clusters, so we can have good maps get good weightings without affecting DLC and disc maps.

Kornman00 is reporting that Halo Wars leaderboards are broken

http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=1139767

If you try to "View Leaderboards" on HaloWars.com stats, you'll get an error page. And the Leaderboard results provided in-game are hella-old (ie, they're no longer getting updated). Which leads me to assume the the services for tracking the Leaderboards are either borked-borked-borked...or intentionally offline (remember when MS was going to pull the plug on Halo Wars stats?).

What do?

What we need is the ability to make a custom preview graphic for your map.

Lockout was in pre-Annidisc Team Classic

Dedicated playlist for community maps please. People who enjoy playing on maps made by fellow community members are a vocal minority at best.

Not putting 19 Forge maps into a playlist would help.
 
Its just the quality difference between a map that was made with a unique setting and setpieces, and just another forge world map. It just degrades MM overall by adding that crap into all the playlists randomly it doesn't actually make it better, add depth, or make it more interesting or competitive in any way.

You need to make a community playlist for those maps, and vocalize the updates/additions on 343 with a map and a weapon layout scheme.

MM in Reach right now with all the different maps and gametypes is like one big fucked up Frankenstein shitpile right now.

Fuck let me go in there and purify and cleanse that thing.
