[quote]Every two weeks we update Halo 4 Matchmaking with exciting new game types, playlist changes and more. You can see what we have planned in the months ahead by visiting the Matchmaking Playlist Calendar, but below you can get details on what's now available in today's Halo 4 Matchmaking Update.
Team DLC: Available until 2/3
Today kicks off the Team DLC Playlist! Expect a smattering of 4 vs. 4 action across Slayer, King of the Hill, Extraction, SWAT, Snipers, Ricochet, Regicide, and Oddball on the following maps:
• Skyline
• Monolith
• Landfall
• Daybreak
• Harvest
• Vertigo
• Pitfall
Action Sack:
We're filling up the Action Sack with a Warthog-load of new Halo 4 game types from the Community Cartographers. Here's what's on tap beginning today:
Paintball: With reduced jump height and one life per round, this game type from petetheduck is Plasma Pistolrific!
Husky Raid: This unique CTF variant from The Fated Fire sees each team spawning with random weapons on opposite sides of a single-lane valley. One way in, one way out.
Clang of the Hill: SNIPE 316's reimagining of 4 vs. 4 King of the Hill, with Energy Swords and Thruster Packs.
Team Doubles:
King of the Hill won with your Community Choice Poll votes! The map pool of KotH Doubles will include Haven, Abandon, Simplex, The Ark, Fallout, Pitfall, and Skyline.
Get in and make it happen, Spartans. We’ll see you on the virtual battlefield![/quote]

Paintball's pretty fun. I've played it in customs before.

1 ReplyI'm curious. How many of those 20,000 people actually own all the DLC for Halo 4? I can't imagine it's more than 2-3K current players.

30 RepliesAnd all five people that still play it rejoiced...

...A plasma pistol gametype? SOLD!

2 RepliesThere should be a CoD WaW style DLC integration. Where if a majority of the players in the lobby have DLC, then DLC appears as a voting option. If the DLC map gets selected, then the players without DLC get booted from the lobby. This would prevent the common scenario where a couple players in a lobby without DLC, ruin it for the majority with DLC.

Edited by NAStheMagiking: 1/21/2014 4:01:50 AMThe prompt showed up when I started the game, and was pleasantly surprised. Gonna be nice to have a playlist that can guarantee DLC maps. Also, Husky Raid is amazingly fun. Have yet to get a game of Paintball, or Clang of the hill.

3 RepliesObvious attempt of forcing DLC on players

Can we just focus on making a new, better game now?
-
Awesome! Hopefully I can get my last six achievements!
-
I played at least 6 maps today that I'd never seen before.
-
Husky Raid is awesome. Got a killimanjaro today.

There's no reason for 343 to refuse to implement a permanent DLC playlist. If you pay for it, you should [i]always[/i] have a definite way of playing it in matchmaking.
-
Only until 2/3? :/ Might give it a go if I have time. In my opinion I enjoyed the DLC maps much more than the base maps.

The Paintball gametype is good fun
