I am actually rolling on the floor laughing my -blam!- off!

They were a little cryptic, but they went and said Invasion wouldn't be TU-ified, which is great. Besides, apart from adding new (community) maps, what could they possibly be doing? DLC perhaps? *speculate*

It seems like they may have actually read Sarges posts on Waypoint.... :)

I doubt they would be doing more DLC at this point. I'm actually hoping for community maps...

343i's been too busy for DLC. Let's hope it's the integration of community maps and not more lame gametypes like Skirmish.

Think of it this way, If they weren't highly considering taking action, they wouldn't have made such a bold statement, so we can assume they will act. Question is, what will they do? To me, there are only a few different things they could be updating the playlist with:
  • DLC - Very unlikely, as they are working on Halo 4's maps.
  • Horrible Witty Megalo gametype, a la Skirmish - Let's hope not.
  • Changes to settings based on feedback - Unlikely, as there haven't been any balance issues or complaints.
  • Addition of TU - Ruled out by the post [:D]
  • Addition of community maps. -Yes pl0x.

With everything that has happened, it feels a little to coincidental to be addition of Troll Skirmish, where defenders spawn under a bridge with flamethrowers. So we may be getting what we want. I just can't shake the feeling that everything has progresses too quickly, and maybe they already had other plans (trolls under bridges).

Let's just hope for the best, and not get too optimistic about it.

I am unaware of your policies on double posting, but I assumed this info was worth the bump:

The Halo: Reach playlist designers have a set list of matchmaking-related tasks they’re hoping to accomplish over the next several months. Freshening up Invasion is one of those things. More news about that as the work begins on freshening it up.


Good to see they are confident enough to post about it. Sounds promising!

I really hope they plan on integrating community maps and don't add another lame gametype nobody wants to vote for.

Unless it's a really awesome gametype. Then I wont baaaaaa about it.
