As proof that Bungie never fails to mix things up for Spartans online, matchmaking playlist changes for Halo 3 on the Microsoft Xbox 360 are now live. Gone is the exploitable Social Doubles, as Rocket Race Hopper enters the list of available game modes. Other changes should improve your chances of getting desirable matches, like the reduced frequency of VIP gametypes in Multi-team and the appearance of Swords in Lone Wolves.
Here's the changelog:
Multi-team:
Hammerzeit game variant has been added
The frequency of VIP gametypes has been reduced
Swords gametypes will now be to 25 kills, rather than 50
Lone Wolves:
