> Next week’s Bulletin will have the full details of the next Matchmaking Update, but we are currently planning on updating the Flood playlist, changing Team Objective to Big Team Skirmish and possibly more on July 1. We look forward to bringing you all of the juicy details next week!
Well, what do you hope they announce?
I for one am very excited about Big Team Skirmish, it just screams Big Team Objective to me.
I’m not sure about Flood, however, I would like to see a classic Flood game-type, perhaps they could introduce community made maps into the mix as well? It would also be call to see some “linear” flood maps as well.
So what are we all hoping for in next weeks bulletin?
They really need to consolidate some of the objective playlists for Big Team Skirmish to be a success in my opinion.
Maybe they could look at merging it with Dominion as well as it’s population isn’t the greatest either.
A Big Team Objective playlist with a strong population would rock. I would play it all the time.
A consolidated Big Team Objective playlist (8v8 of course) and a classic Infection game type.
I really want some information or a status update on Legendary Slayer. They teased us with it a while ago and we haven’t heard a thing since.
I actually agree with all of the above so far, all of that would be fantastic.

Agreed, although CTF should be in Big Team Skirmish and it’s own playlist. It’s got a strong following, so I think it’s a good idea.
But what gametypes will be in Big Team Skirmish, since Halo 4 doesn’t have too many?
Capture the Flag
Infinity CTF
Extraction
Dominion?
Oddball?
King of the Hill?
Team Regicide?
Pro Gametypes?
CTF is a given, Infinity CTF is very likely, and Extraction has to be in, or else it wouldn’t be anywhere besides Throwdown and DLC playlists, but that leaves a few other gametypes that may or may not be in.
I WANTS LEGENDARY SLAYER!!! but seriously something about a classic playlist would be nice and also really good to hear about BigTeamSkirmish

Legendary Slayer is currently slated for a July release! 
Anyways, I’m really excited for Big Team Skirmish! I have been since launch!

BTB Objective should include CTF, and drop Oddball/Regicide. But we still need an Objective playlist for games like Oddball and Regicide. I propose this…
BTB Skirmish:
CTF
KOH
Extraction
Dominion
Team Objective: (4v4 again)
CTF
KOH
Oddball
Regicide
And a BIG YES if they bring back Infection.

That would be perfect!
Nah, don’t think regicide would be in Skirmish though.
CTF, Infinity, Xetraction and maybe KOTH might be in it.
Don’t think Domionion will though
Maybe they’ll go the same route as SWAT and put in Forerunner and Covenant Flood variants.
Forerunner:
Scattershot
Boltshot
Covenant: <— This would’ve been pretty fun in Reach with actual Elites
Concussion Rifle / Gravity Hammer
Plasma Pistol
Big Team Regicide would be interesting, but we all know it would be the guy in the tank…
Because tank beats everything!

No thanks, it works on SWAT because there isn’t that great of a range of weapons to begin with, if we did this with Skirmish it would get boring quickly.
(Oh yeah, whats the acronym for Big Team Skirmish? I was about to use BTS but that’s Big Team Slayer!)
I don’t think Regicide and Oddball would work well in Big Team Objective… Those two would have to be in a 4v4 Team Objective.

Oh…
Whoops
i really hope the update does something about Plasma weapons (Grenades and pistol) in loadouts
at this point, no other announcement can excite me.
Big Team skirmish just sounds like it’ll be another sticky-spam playlist…
…unless it dosen’t allow loadouts…and plays only “slayer ‘pro’”
if that’s so, i’ll play the hell out of that playlist

How about completely revamp Flood? As far as I know, very few players enjoy the Thruster Pack…
Oh, and let us have our individual colors
