Halo 2 - Matchmaking update & stat reset

We've all been—hopefully—more than satisfied with the four new Halo 2 maps Bungie dumped on us several weeks ago, but it's about time the new entries made their ways into the matchmaking circuit. Yesterday, Bungie initiated that update and also reset the stats (sigh).

Players will notice that the playlists have been updated with new variants that are heavily weighted towards the new maps. "Double Team", a two vs. two option, is an exciting addition, especially when considering how claustrophobic Sanctuary and Warlock can be. "Team Preview" will allow paying-gamers to play Turf and Sanctuary in matchmaking.

Also of note in the update, is the removal of "Sudden Death" from all Assault variants.

Head over to Bungie.net for more details.
