Fulfilling their promise that they made last week, the Bungie crew has outlined the changes coming to Halo 3 as part of the second title update we'll be seeing release in the near future. And even though there won't be any hugely noticeable changes (a lot of the update's feature have to do with invisible back-end and behind the scenes goodness) we'll be getting a new Halo 3 experience system. Fear not though, your current Halo 3 rank and experience point total will NOT be reset, instead Bungie is adding experience point tracking to each playlist. Then, using experience points and solely experience points, Bungie will award various military ranks per playlist. It's a tad bit confusing, so you may have to jump over to Bungie.net to read all the Halo 3 title update details.But, other than a new ranking system, the next H3 title update looks to be rather stale. So feel free to yawn, yawn, and yawn some more.

Where is the TEAM SNIPERS playlist? That's a big reason I don't play Halo 3 during my free time.

Amen, I remember the golden age when H3 just came out and almost all the games in some playlists were team snipers. No more. No. More.

It's now an occasional double XP playlist, same with living dead.
There are sniper variants in Lone Wolves, Rumble Pit, Double Team, Team Slayer... (sniper shotty, team snipers)
You can always start up a custom game too...

Ah yes finally! I have been waiting for a tracker to be put into matchmaking. Makes it much easier to see when you will be leveling up next.

i think this is a great idea. they aren't getting rid of something for this, but adding something new along with the old. i love how this will let you show how much you play playlists, even in social.
oh, and i can't help but be excited for "big changes" in matchmaking come september.

there aren't enough people playing nowadays for any update to this game to be of significance.
