Today, developers 343 Industries have introduced a major update to Halo 4’s matchmaking playlists, one that’s been in the works for quite some time now.

Heading into Halo 4’s playlists, you’ll notice a number of important alterations, including tweaks to some of the most popular weapons, an increase in movement speed, and a change in ordinance drop locations.

343i’s Andy “Bravo” Dudynsky and multiplayer designer Quinn DelHoyo go through a few of the new updates, most of which have been inspired by community feedback and that have been in testing for weeks now, in this video presentation below.
