In addition to the Playlist changes, we’re also introducing two new Forge Map Variants with this update, Cliffhanger and Atom. Atom will be on display in the Team Slayer, Team Snipers, Team Objective, Multi Team, and Big Team Battle Playlists. Cliffhanger will be found in Rumble Pit, Team Slayer, Team SWAT, and Team Objective.

Only played 1 game on Atom, and can't stand it. Don't know why, but I absolutely hated the layout and way it played.

Atom looks unconventional

idk what that is in the video Kalyx posted but it is not Atom. Played it in a matchmaking game and it looks nothing like that.

That's the vid Bungie put up. Perhaps they made changes?

Okay Atom, the new Forge variant in multiplayer, is fucking awesome. The jetpack is actually worth a damn there.

Here's a super early peak at my Infection map, "Zombie Street":

There will be four structures total. What you see is just the house so far. The end of each street will have a vehicle enabled teleporter so you can continue driving. There will be a color filter.

Also, this week's clip shows me looking all heroic and badass:

Slick vid Kalyx, that sniper sucks.

Well the other team won because he at least tried while our sniper was... nonexistent.

Not sure if this has been posted, but saw this on Youtube

Kalyx do you ever use Waypoint? Just wondering as the latest Inside Halo vid (I think it's ep 5 or something) shows a forge map with 2 airborne bases, looked fairly similar to yours - assuming it isn't though.

Had 1 game on Atom the other night and my team basically won by camping in our own base while the others were jetpacking around all over the place. Tried to have a look at it in Forge to find out where everything is but it didn't seem to be available for some reason :?:

Haven't checked out Waypoint in a bit, I'll take a look at the vid. I'm not the only guy doing 'sky bases', though, there's some impressive maps of that concept going around.

Did you download Atom from your temporary history? It wouldn't just upload in your memory automatically. If you just played it you can find it.

No I didn't, hadn't thought of it like that :y:

Quite liked Cliffhanger, yet to play Atom.

Crucial detail of my Invasion gametype may force me to make some bigger changes. Kinda pissed. Going to Bungie about it.

Nov 30 new maps...saw the trailer and its only 3 maps that look like its for invasion and big team.

Wish I knew some people who play custom games...

Having now played Cliffhanger and Atom a few times I like them both a lot. Went nuts with the focus rifle on Atom in a normal TS game yesterday, ended up like +15

Yeah, gotta find those types.

Rank cap raised, new armor available. I discovered my Gold ran out so I can't shoot people anymore but I'll keep Forging!

I just bought two more years of Live at the offer price of $84. I don't know if they planned on hiking it with the roll out of this new dashboard, but I can swing the money now so I figured I might as well save. That 2 years doesn't even start ticking until July of 2011, so I'm square through 2013. Shit man.

Apparently it takes me two hours to beat a stage on Legendary by myself. Did two today, both took 2hrs. Died a millions times. This game is fucking hard, I love it.

Kat's ass is like whoa.

It would seem Kat's ass is something of a meme within the Halo community.

I wanna put you guys in there so let's make memories when we join up!

That last clip is so epic...

Already sick of COD, noble map pack please

Photo shoot with Khuntry and my cousin. When you guys are happy enough with your armor, perhaps we can shoot a set as well. Here's some shots:

Like my new shoulders? Got it at Ross.

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/Sc...87&size=medium
Khuntry about to carve his name into history. Or something.

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/Sc...22&size=medium
Get it steady will ya...

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/Sc...40&size=medium
Me, Khuntry, and my cousin looking heavy metal.

Anyone get the new maps?any good?I was going to get it but the BC2 maps came out....for free.

Anways i bought this day one but played very little of it until last week.Ive gone from a warrant officer 2 two weeks ago to a captain 2 today.

BC2 doesn't get new maps, it unlocks variations of maps on disk. The illusion is getting something for free.

The new maps are well built. But bangs for my aren't yours, ya know. I'd hate for you to get the maps and not like them, I'd feel like owing you 10$.

on topic

iam going to have to wait for the halo maps since iam STILL getting used to the original maps.

I'm gonna complete creed first before I get them

Oh fuck, nice! Not a fan of Team Snipers but still.

Usually me and my buddy just play snipes all night. I'm glad we have cause I used to be terrible with a sniper, but as we can clearly see: I figured my shit out lol

Perfect?goddamn i was so close to one my first week of halo reach,whent like 17-0 before my teammate threw a sticky bomb at me:mad: then when i respawned 10 seconds later the enemy stickys me then its game over:mad:

Rumor is that the new reach maps will only be 400 points sometime this week.
