|  Team Hardcore coming to H3 matchmaking.
Quote: Playlists and Optimatch Forum
There’s been significantly more policing happening in the Optimatch forum lately, in part because we still want that forum to act as a resource for us and in part because the white noise and knuckle-dragging is getting a bit unruly. Do keep posting there, but make sure you check out the forum rules before you do. The bans are both pretty harsh and semi-immediate as Ninjas are constantly circling in the briny deep and there is chum everywhere.
Tyson Green, the multiplayer design lead, has taken a pretty active role in that forum checking in and answering questions somewhere between occasionally and regularly. That's certainly a dialogue we hope to continue.
We had a meeting this week about changes coming to the Matchmaking playlists. Even though the most recent group of changes just went live, Tyson and Test are already at work managing the spec for the next updates as well -- the first isdue around the time that DLC is set to arrive withan expanded update the following week. Without showing too much of the hand for the Double Stuff of Playlist changes, there will be considerable adjustments coming to the Matchmaking hoppers – including one particular change that hyper-competitive jerks like me will enjoy.
Team Hardcore is a playlist that members of the community crave like a pregnant woman craves pickles and peanut butter. And sooner than later, it will be making its way back to Halo 3. Exactly what "Team Hardcore" means, we're still sorting out, but it will likely resemble the Team Hardcore that folks became pretty familiar with in Halo 2 with some tweaks made for the Halo 3 environment. There's a handy thread where we're checking out your thoughts on what makes something Hardcore, here.
In addition to being excited for Hardcore, the other changes coming to the Playlists in that DLC timeframe have me pretty stoked to continue my desperate quest for Level 45. But per Tyson's request -- mum is the word and tight are the lips, for now.

They made a thread in Halo 2 asking for the community to offer advice for Hardcore, but they went with MLG's settings anyway. | |

It won't do any good until they fix the things they fucked up on. | |

Team Hardcore in Halo 2 was nearly exactly MLG settings, with a few very minor changes to make it acceptable for MatchMaking. it evolved slightly as MLG changed it's rules and it's maps, but wasn't quite MLG. there were still King of the Hill gametypes and other outdated gametypes on there, to keep variety.
I expect this will probably be what Team Hardcore will be again, as the MLG community will be quite bitchy if it's not MLG settings.....despite the fact that it's "Team Hardcore" not "Team MLG". what I'm more curious about, is if it will contain MLG's Forged-up versions of the maps, and how both Bungie and the community look upon putting Forged maps into MatchMaking for once playlist, opposed to default maps for the rest. | |

Sounds cool, new playlists are never a bad thing... I'm just waiting on a ranked BTB.

Ranked BTB in H2 was awful. If they're gonna do that again, then they need to eliminate the unranked crap. God I hate Big Team Lag.
