Is it coming along with the ball modes??? Is it coming to Halo 5 at all???
I don’t believe it was mentioned in Friday’s update.

Supposedly it would be possible with forge and gametype options to make all the previous ball-based modes.

Cool but matchmaking?

If they ever do Action Sack or more Community playlists, then it’s quite possible.
I think they’re leaving the tools in the hands of the community so we can make what we want to see in the game. We gotta show them there’s a demand for Ricochet in Matchmaking by making maps and/or gametypes for it and showing them off to 343 through things like this forum, Reddit, NeoGAF, Twitter, etc…
It’ll be creatable in Custom Games at least. Whether or not next months update will include a 343 official version is another question.
Given that they seem to focus on Assault and Grifball, we’ll probably see Assault added to Team Arena and BTB, while Grifball gets its own playlist, probably for a couple weeks until Infection drops.
The new settings for ball mode make it possible for oddball, ricochet, and king of the hill along with the possibility of brand new game modes as well.
As as far as putting those into matchmaking I do not know.
I don’t believe ricochet will be arriving with the other ball game modes unfortunately. However, you can probably make it yourself with the new forge elements.
I understand griffball hype, but Ricochet was literally the best thing to come out of Halo 4.
If anyone wants to play some Ricochet once the new update comes up, please keep me posted. My team and I are experienced in forge for Ricochet. We are looking for players / teams so that once it is ready, we can have people to rotate.
I thought ricochet was 343i baby. It was the best new thing in h4, not sure how it hasn’t been mentioned for H5 mm.

Where do I sign up, Richochet was the best thing in halo 4.
I haven’t heard anything about it but it would be nice if they brought it back. I really liked that game type.
It’ll probably show up later.
Ricochet should be possible with the new Assault type that is being developed - the idea was to have 1 mode that could be utilised to create any number of ball/bomb based varients, including Assault, Griffball, Oddball and Ricochet. What types of playlists will be dropping I don’t know, but from the customization options on offer (which are sounding huuuuge), Although it doesn’t specifically mention it, the latest blog post about the next update gives some great info on what’s coming. Ricochet should be pretty easy to set up and possibly make even better than Halo 4 
Has the update launch date been announced?

Not yet, we may get more details this week though. I imagine this Friday we’ll get details of a live stream on the 19th, then the update dropping the week after. Just a guess though based on previous releases
Ricochet. Oddball and king of the hill all need to be in matchmaking
And all 3 need to come before things like race and infectionh
