Halo 4 - Infinity Weekly Update #5 *PRE-CRIMSON DLC SPECIAL*

There’s only one thing to say after last week’s Matchmaking
playlist update: We got a new King! Since Team Regicide has performed
spectacularly (TWtQS), it’s sticking around for another week. So is
SWAT, of course. Unfortunately that means one playlist has to say
goodbye. Actually, it just has to say “See you later” because it will
undoubtedly be back. Leaving temporarily is King of the Hill (wipes away
a single tear) and taking its place is Crimson DLC. Before we dip into
the specifics of that particular playlist, let’s go over the rather
short list of other things included in last Monday’s update.

• Fixed exploit locations on Haven

• Fixed exploit locations on Adrift

• Introduced Ordnance drop issues on Haven (oops)


Please note that the map fixes only affect playlists and not
on-disc custom game map variants, and we will fix the Ordnance drop
issues in the next playlist update.


If you find yourself wondering why this change list is shorter
than previous ones, it’s because we’ve been hard at work on a Title
Update, which is slated to release soon. You’ll know it’s out when
you’re prompted to download an update upon logging into Halo 4. We will
detail the contents of the TU after it’s out (as it contains exploit
fixes we don’t want abused any more than they already are while they’re
live). We can tell you right now that this particular TU tackles actual
game and gameplay issues, not sandbox tweaks and balances. We have
another TU in the works and will continue working on the timing and
content of the next one. We will update everyone when we have additional
information. One TU at a time, as they say.

Now, back to the
Crimson maps! The 12.10 Matchmaking update will include a brand new
Crimson DLC playlist, and it will also integrate the Crimson maps into
existing playlists. Let’s tackle the Crimson DLC playlist first. It will
be 6 vs. 6 and include the following map and game type combinations:

• Infinity Slayer – Shatter

• Capture the Flag – Shatter

• Extraction – Shatter

• King of the Hill – Shatter

• Infinity Slayer – Wreckage

• Capture the Flag – Wreckage

• King of the Hill – Wreckage

• Oddball – Wreckage

• Infinity Slayer – Harvest

• Capture the Flag – Harvest

• King of the Hill – Harvest


The following Crimson maps will be added into these existing playlists:

• Infinity Slayer – Harvest

• Big Team Infinity Slayer – Wreckage and Shatter

• Dominion – Shatter

• Capture the Flag – Harvest and Wreckage

• SWAT – Harvest

• Team Slayer Pro – Harvest


The Matchmaking algorithm is weighted to match players who have
DLC with other players who have DLC so if you have the Crimson Map Pack
and you enter a regular playlist, you should see the new maps on a
regular basis. This is something we can adjust, so if the new maps aren’t appearing as often as we’d like, we’ll continue to tweak the formula.


The second half of Spartan Ops Season 1 will resume later in
January with brand new episodes, chapters, locations and maps (as
discussed in our recent Spartan Ops developer interview).
