343 will be launching the playlist “with several medium-sized maps – slightly modified versions of Haven, Abandon and some Forge favorites will be available,” according to an update on the Halo Bulletin.
In addition, 343 will also be launching Team Objective which “will group together 4 vs. 4 Team Regicide, Oddball and King of the Hill (she’s back!). The biggest changes you’ll see to these game types are that Complex Oddball has been removed, and instant respawn has been disabled for both KoTH and Oddball.”
Of course, brand new Spartan Ops content will be making its way to Halo 4 this monday alongside the new playlist update, so be sure to keep an eye out for that.
Are you excited to get back in the arena, sniper rifle in hand? Or, are you going to be getting your game on in the objective playlist?
