From best to worst updates, here is my opinion:
Hammer Storm:
Hammer Storm brought in much needed new game modes, including Grifball, Assualt, Fiesta, and Oddball. Not only that it included the Halo: CE Pistol and some not worthy armor. It included the Gravity Hammer and to solid Storm Rifle variants. Sadly, the new map was the only weak spot.
Cartographer’s Gift:
Forge made a triumphant return with this update. Battle of Noctus, Overgrowth, and BTB where all great additions to the update. Not to mention my favorite weapon skins, Gold Standard, was also included. The only downfall to this update was the not so great armors or emblems (never cared about new emblems anyway.)
Ghost of Meridian:
New maps are always welcome especially a new Warzone Map. I have to say both new maps are good. The new Hannibal Vehicles are fun to use. Finally, the Gravity Hammers are very strong and useful as well as the new Suppressors. Loads of new Forge additions and Sandbox balancing conclude this update as an icing on the top.
Infinity’s Armory:
Halo 2 BR, the new map Riptide, and the Carbine variants are the only real highlights in this update. This update lacks in useful content and pales in comparison to the updates above.
Battle of Shadow & Light:
Essentially the items that barely didn’t make the hard copy of the game. Only really contains new UNSC vehicle skins that act as simple replacements to the Urban variant of the vehicles. Hardly an update at all.
So what is the best update? And what is the worst?
