Maybe I'm late on this, but it seems I missed out on this GameSpot Video Preview of the Mythic Maps. Despite my hate towards GameSpot after things they have done in the recent years, I got to say, this preview is pretty good. The map shown in the Sandbox skybubble looks great; is that one of the ones going into Matchmaking? If not, I hope it gets put up on Bungie's Favorites or something at the time of release.

Sweet. Will we get advanced notification of the variations across all the playlists? Or maybe I'm out of the loop?
I'm impressed this time around that you guys are pushing the variations alot more strongly. I think I read that you guys are making the push that Foundry should have got, so I hope this results in equally high quality user made variations being introduced in future, depending on of course, whether the community makes variations that are up to scratch.
Sandbox definitely allows more potential than Foundry did, but, if I recall, the biggest issue in user made variations wasn't the map layout or design, more to do with the spawning issues.
I hope that you can get this across for Sandbox, I'd hate to see many a map held up due to one main issue.

Pretty excellent list. I just wish they'd do them more often.

Played some Halo 3 for the first time in a few months...
- I'm not as rusty as I thought I was going to be. At first I couldn't figure out what the hell I was doing because I kept trying to pick up weapons with x instead of the right bumper. I had a lot of fun.
- I can't believe that Valhalla heavies is still in matchmaking. That thing is a total piece of shit. The way that map is designed means it's totally in favor of the blue team. Take it out.
- Why are there so many heavies games? What's wrong with the good old regular weapons? I think the only map that I can tolerate heavies on is Avalanche and that's mainly because Avalanche is the best.
- What's with people running to the enemy's side of the map when they're down? We were down by like 20 and these idiots kept running to the other side of the map like as if they were killing machines.
- Wouldn't Standoff be awesome without both the laser and the Warthog?
- More Avalanche please

It's probably because they got into the upper 20's and could no longer find matchesStriker said:
I know it isn't the reason, I just want to be able to play SB again.
And yeah, Heavies definitely needs work, and just because it's not vetoed all the time doesn't mean it isn't broken and especially doesn't mean there are a bunch of improvements that could be made.
Heavies got reduced, but the two I played recently (one on Valhalla and another on Sandtrap) weren't very fun in my view. Its weight should be lowest of any possible game variant for Squad Battle. Most should be, of course, Multi CTF and Slayer (on maps like Valhalla, Last Resort, Avalanche, Rat's Nest, etc.). I veto every chance or time Isolation or Construct come up during my play. Those are rarely fun for eve regular Team Slayer.

Anyone have any thoughts on Heavy Avalanche? I'm working on my Avalanche variant again and I'm looking for opinions.
All I know for sure is that it'll have Fuel Rod Cannons, a Gravity Hammer, and use every man cannon possible 'cause that's how I roll.

Could BTB really support it's population while only relying on 8v8, 7+1v7+1 etc. matchups? Sure not everyone enjoys steamrolling/getting steamrolled, but the alternative may be waiting a long long time.
