I believe IGN accidentally posted several videos ahead of time a week or two ago, and people were quick to watch and repost it everywhere. In fact, I believe Complex, Adrift, and Meltdown were all given out early. IGN has since asked for everyone to take them down.

From what I’ve heard, people manipulated the url of another map walkthrough to get the meltdown video. That wasn’t supposed to happen, so IGN kindly asked everyone to take videos of it down until today, when it was actually released.

Exactly. Like how Longbow is for 4v4. I like this better than Reach’s campy maps like Sword Base and Countdown…

ya but it looks like so far most maps can contain a BTB slayer or objective game without huge cluster -Yoinks!- like H2’s foundation or Lockout games. Dont get me wrong they were fun but just a cluster -Yoink-
