Halo Reach: Updates-AGX

Halo Reach is the latest and currently last game in the Halo franchise, but just because the game is out doesn't mean that the developer Bungie is going to "Sit on its hands." Bungie has implemented some changes to their latest game.
1. On areana Zealot bungie has added a return to battle field  to fix a camping issue.
2. On the gametypes Oddball and Territories they have replaced the dropshield armor ability with the Evade ability for the reason check out this Inside Gaming.
3. SWAT (no shields, headshot=instant kill) playlist has been removed from the slayer playlist and has been given its own home.
4. Boardwalk has been removed from the gametype doubles areana.
5. There is no longer a Scorpion Tank on the map Hemorrage.

Now onto the major update. Bungie has announced its first bit of downloadable content. The Noble map pack will unlock three maps Tempes, Anchor 9, and Break Point. This pack will cost you 800 microsoft points and will be coming out november 30th (Ask for it at Christmas, Hannukah, or whatever holiday you celebrate.)

I think Bungie has done a great job with these changes especially the evade change. Bungie's tenacity to make a good quality game is always a pleasure to play and a good way to build with community. I can't wait to see what the Noble pack has in store and to see how the halo community responds. Halo has proven to be a game that stands the test of time and this one looks like it's going to last a while.
