probably the majorty of them, but basic slayer is a given.
I will be playing a lot of no bloom in the customs, but i will try out 85 percent bloom and see what i think about it.
Read the article again…it clearly states that only a single gametype will be available for download, and it won’t be out the day of the TU.
why dont you read the article again dude i know they seem to only be releasing one gametype
“We still have some tuning and testing to do before the beta hopper is rolled out, but in the interim, our not-yet-uploaded custom game file should give you a hint of how some of those beta features will feel. Shortly after the Title Update releases on September 21st, you will be able to download, share and play this gametype in custom games, taking advantage of the variety of options offered in the Title Update”
what i am asking is what are they releasing to download (oh and btw it does say it will be available to download when the TU drops)
i’m guessing 85% bloom reset, i’m really hoping they decide to give us a zero bloom gametype though

Will 343 make a couple of custom gametypes featuring the TU changes available for download on the day the TU is released so we don’t have to wait till October to try out the changes? - SketchyBR
Will we make a couple? No. Will we make one? Yes. Will it be available the day the TU is released? No. Will it be available shortly thereafter? Yes. Did I just ask four questions and answer them myself to illustrate a point?
^Taken from the article you didn’t re-read.
P.S. in your first post it very much sounds like you expect several gametypes.
> i’m guessing 85% bloom reset, i’m really hoping they decide to give us a zero bloom gametype though
You pretty much answered your own question, 85% bloom seems to be the thing 343i is bragging about, it’s supposed to make Reach play like a charm when put to the test.
Personally, I don’t want the Zero Bloom Gametype to come out instantly, every custom game I join will be that with a DMR & Needle Rifle, I want to play different things first before jumping into zero bloom.

“I want to play different things.”
For those people that will be running those custom games that feature zero bloom, to them… that is different. We’ve been playing this game with bloom for over a year now. We want zero bloom.
I honestly think the gametype that will be available to DL will feature zero bloom.

Not everyone wants zero bloom, I personally thought it would be a stupid idea, even on some playlists Anniversary or not, 85% bloom seems to be the one, once again that 343i is bragging about and has been for a while, they claim Reach plays perfect like this, put it this way though, the Zero Bloom gametype will be able to play on October 4th when the Beta Hoppers come out, you can always save them from your Recent Game History and grab the gametype and test in Custom Games, either way it’s only a week and a bit until you get to see it.
They should release everything day of TU. I don’t know why they have to pussyfoot around the whole thing, they’re acting like teasing little schoolgirls in my opinion. (Enough with the hype).
I’d like zero bloom because then I’d go find my Reach disc.
i would atleast like to hear their reason for not releasing them
> i would atleast like to hear their reason for not releasing them
Completely agreed dude.

Sign me up for agreeing with that too.
I’d imagine that 343 already has copies of Reach with the TU, so it would be a simple matter of just making a couple of gametypes then putting them on one employees file share the day of the TU.
I’m not sure how long it would take to make the special custom gametypes, given that they use a different method other than just messing with in-game settings…but they already have most of these gametypes created (because they said they’ve tested the settings, and we’ve seen some in action), and it doesn’t take more than 10 minutes to go through your files and upload them to your file share.
So why not just throw them online for download right away?
I’ve been waiting to play this game without bloom for a year. Please gives us the no bloom gametype before the beta hoppers. I want to play a 100% better version of reach, not 15% better.
We’ve had a year of bloom and all the complaints that come along with it so I’d very much like to see the no bloom gametype released prior to the Beta hoppers.
A smaller lemon is still a lemon and is just as sour, I want a nice sweet apple.
I just really hope there’s a 0% bloom gametype before mid October, since my live runs out then. Not logging in for a 15% bloom change, nor am I renewing my live to check whether the 0% bloom even plays well (if it comes out after mid October), to possibly find it doesn’t and I wasted even more money.
