Its been revealed by Gamespot that the second hidden big part of the Ghosts of Meridian update is officially an non remix Arena map called Tyrant.
So once again we are playing the wait for more permanent modes game ;(

Can you edit the title to say “game” not “gom”?

No?..Because GoM = Ghosts of Meridian not Game
Couldn’t fit the full name into the title
Edit: I went with a new title to be more clear
That makes more sense as this board capitalizes every letter in topic headers.
I would wait for confirmation from 343i not some game journalist site. They only report what 343i allows them to report.

You’re right but since this was announced its confirmed its the hidden spot on the update sheet
No possible section for a game mode reveal now everything is always on the sheets besides small stuff
Yeah I’m pretty bummed out. New maps are cool in all, but I was really hoping infection would come out.
That’s so sad
this is the lighest update of all of them and it was delayed?? For -Yoinking!- e sports

Almost 6 months and counting…

I’m pretty excited about the new map, based on the photos it looks pretty cool.
I’m disappointed there are no gametypes. Not a fan of Infection, but I’ll welcome it. I want KoTH and Oddball. One Bomb/flag for BTB.
Oddball is the only real competitive gametype missing and thats easy as a playlist setup with the settings in the game rather than a content update.
Infection is the only missing “fun” custom type and meh, as far as i can tell its only a vocal minority on waypoint that cry for it. I dont know a single player in game that gives a monkey about it.
KotH has too much overlap with strongholds.
2 Maps this update is pretty awesome, people fall too easily on the entitled bandwagon train now. It’s been 5 months since release and we’ll have had 2 new warzone maps and 4 arena maps (yes remixes count), assault, forge and the possibility for oddball. A slow stream of great community maps. Yes Halo was barebones on release, it’s not anymore.
Really need King of the hill to come in custom to make some cool map variants!

Its still barebones…
No Snipers, Doubles, Oddball infection and KOTH as you said, 1 flag ctf, headhunter, multi bomb for BTB, Race, VIP
Also no Action Sack with fun modes like Husky Raid, sumo, that sword/sniper mode Assassins I think?
Also where tf is Ricochet or an MLG-ish playlist?
I’m sure I missed a lot…
Pulled this from the Gamestop lore
“The facility known as Site C by human explorers is one of a handful of intact Forerunner structures remaining in the Zeta Hydronis Secundus system, a grim reminder that even godlike artifice can be undone by the minds and hands of mad tyrants. At the height of Forerunner power these planetoids hosted thriving colonies and seemingly impregnable fortresses, but the war against the Flood saw hard light walls collapse and planetoids shatter under the parasite’s relentless assault, cracks in the Forerunner defenses into which the Gravemind poured billions of combat forms, each walking corpse cackling with mad laughter that drowned out screams and shouts of defiance.”
That suggests infection in lore. Not bad.

Probably for Spring holiday as well. There were multiple factors causing a delay, unfortunately.
But seriously… you would’ve think Infection got priority by now. oh well, new Warzone map looks cool I guess.
No game modes 
Skirmish at dark star 
AI controlled UNSC vehicles
controllable gates
lots of cover for infantry with more options to get from a to b

I’m hoping that the reason this update seems smaller than the past ones is because there are two updates in April, and the second one will be a major update. Perhaps they moved infection to the next update to make sure they get it polished up?

Agreed. They won’t tell us until it is guaranteed to happen. They may not be sure if it’ll be ready yet
