Yesterday, a brand new matchmaking update was pushed to all Halo 4 playlists, adding a slew of fan-made maps into a number of various game modes.

Team Snipers
- Shutout has been updated with improved respawn points for Team Snipers.
343 Industries writes, “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 included the removal of the Grunt Birthday effect from Fiesta Classic in the Action Sack playlist. Parents/roommates/significant others will be happy about this one. Also, some of the Grifball setting have been updated to “reflect the correct community settings in regards to Base Player Damage, Grif Damage Resistance, Grif Shield Multiplier and Suicide Penalty.”
In case you missed it, the brand new Halo 4 weapon tweaks go live early next month. Check out the details!
