    From Bungie.com. Coming in October, it fixes stuff, adds stuff, and removes stuff. Check it! Also, DLC confirmed in one of the screenshots 
      
    Some highlights (just a FEW of the updates, this is not all of it): 
     
    • Pro mode removed from Arena playlists
    • SWAT turned into a separate playlist
    • Rocket Race added (yesssssss)
    • Classic Slayer removed (noooooooo)
     
    So, what do you think? Good update? Horrible update? Surely you don't think the latter.

    I don't think anyone will be sad to see Pro and SWAT gone from the current form.

    Good changes, glad to hear they are removing a lot of the slayer variants since their is very little difference between them and I look forward to seeing the new maps they add.

    SWAT getting it's own playlist is cool, but removing Slayer? That seems a bit strange.

    Ha, I haven't even played SWAT yet (and I've played, uh, like, 30-ish games).  What's so bad about it?  I have no idea what it is. 
     
     
    EDIT: Too bad about losing classic Slayer.  The more Slayer types, the better, in my opinion.  Also, the less often there is a stupid radar, the better.

    Glad about the SWAT thing,Absolutely hate SWAT. I'd really like it if  Rocketfight was  made it's own thing in Firefight matchmaking, it's all anyone chooses when theres a challenge to get so many kills that day. Four people spamming rockets from up high using jetpacks is fun the first time but boring as hell  any time after that.

    Is classic slayer the one with none of the Reach stuff in it? If it is, it should probably just get a different playlist rather than be removed.

    They messed up. Arena should have nothing but PRO variant, cuz thats all people vote for. They need to make it such that it has no radar.

    Swat in its own playlist = Yup 
    Rocket Race = FUCK YUP 
    Pro Mode from Arena = who gives a shit I don't play arena >:(( 
    Classic slayer removed = entirely or just from specific playlists? Not that it matters, the perks are a high point of the game so I don't want to play with them turned off.

    King of the hill = Great
    Juggernaut = AWESOME 
    Replacing drop shield with evade in objective games = brilliant
    Replacing the scorpion = AWESOME
    Swat has its own playlist = Expected, as such, awesome
     
    Its a shame they havnt fixed infection on zealot. Its a real shame that the spartans can camp the top ledge stopping the infected from getting up since they have to use the slow pipe things and remain vulnerable for like, 3 seconds (and not be able to attack cause they are out of range).

    @schizogony: SWAT is a game mode in which everyone uses DMRs (BRs in Halo 3). There are no shields, no radars, and it's basically headshots only. Think of it as "You got Call of Duty in my Halo". You die really fast.

    I personally would rather see all single-shot gameplay types (Slayer DMR, SWAT, Slayer Pro) put into its own playlist, but SWAT as a separate playlist seems okay.  It'll skew the fuck out of stats, though. 
     
    Removing Classic Slayer is fucked personally.  Some of us want to just run around and kill without worrying about jetpacks and shit.  Oh well. 
     
    Other than that, I haven't played any Arenas yet, and I haven't played any Races yet.  Sooooo...eh.

    I love how they decide to explain again how the no-bleed mechanic works, as though it were some mystery that players couldn't wrap their minds around. The problem isn't that people lack the skill to deal with the no-bleed, but rather that it's a completely asinine game mechanic. I really hope they remove it with a patch some time down the road.

    @jakob187: There is a regular Slayer game mode, right? Silly for me to be asking because I've been playing Reach MP nonstop but all I seem to remember doing in Team Slayer is either Slayer DMRs, Slayer Pro, or Classic Slayer. The first two are single shot weapons only. I seem to remember a normal Slayer playlist but I dunno..... 
     
    I ask this because I prefer the assault rifle over the DMR in most situations, as crazy as that may sound.

    • Pro mode removed from Arena playlists ( sure why not? I never liked pro and this seems alright)
    • SWAT turned into a separate playlist ( THANKFUL I am disappointed no word of Snipers getting moved.)
    • Rocket Race added (honestly never played much of this game type, but adding is always more options so sure.
    • Classic Slayer removed (I agree this will be missed I'm surprised its going away, I dont mind a classic slayer but since swat is removed from slayer options this doesn't sound that bad.

    Good that swat has its seperate playlist and that classic slayer removed, Pro mode was better than DMRs...don't want radar in my Arena. 
    Also want a MLG playlist cause they do hardcore-type settings right when I feel like getting my hardcore on, but it'll come eventually.

    Darn, was hoping for harsher punishment for people that leave at the beginning or halfway though a game, Tired of 4/2 or 8/4 maps where kids get pissed that they didn't get their map choice.  
     
    Glade Swat is on its own section, was hoping for a Griffball verity though, oh well,

    So do I, but when I want to play SWAT, I'd rather play a SWAT playlist (as it was in Halo 3) then have to rely on people picking it.

    If they remove pro mode from arena then won't it be DRM slayer all the time?  That would be shitty...
