Title update has been confirmed for September 21st which lined up with their (Mid-late sept) expectations and the Beta Hopper playlist being implemented on October 4th.However they noted they will release custom settings on a fileshare so we WILL be able to test things out ON SEPTEMBER 21st(before the playlist)(OH JOYS), so essentially next week we can start testing the new settings before the beta hopper playlist is implemented, but of course it will be in custom matches.

Proof we might be able to experience no bloom as soon as Sept 21st.



Things to note about the playlist after skimming through. All gametypes are at 85% bloom(except the CE pistol) for the beta hopper playlist unless noted. All objective gametypes are DMR START.

"Time-line for Halo Reach"
Halo: Anniversary, which is coming bundled with Breakneck and six additional Multiplayer playspaces, will be on a store shelf near you November 15th. According to my extremely precise and detailed calculations, thats in roughly two months. Before that, though, on September 21st, youll be prompted to download a Title Update for Halo: Reach. Its important to note that you wont see any perceptible changes in Halo: Reach Matchmaking immediately after the download. In an effort to provide some much needed clarification, heres a brief timeline of what you can expect in regard to the upcoming Title Update and beta matchmaking playlist:

September 20th
On this day, you will play Halo: Reach. You will lose a few games, primarily because of the jerkface that took the sniper and sent the bullets whizzing by the heads of your enemies, instead of directly through them.

September 21st
On this day, when logging into Halo: Reach, you will be prompted to download the Title Update. Youll start playing, notice nothing seems different, and then recall that I said, in this here Bulletin as a matter of fact, You wont see any perceptible changes in Halo: Reach Matchmaking immediately after the download. The majority of players will only complete the first two steps, though. Curses.

October 3rd
Twas the night before the Beta Hopper, when all through the game, not a creature was stirring, even the Gta were tame. The AAs were hung on the selection screen with care, in hopes that the hopper soon would be there. The Spartans were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of zero bloom danced in their heads

October 4th
On this day, you will log into Halo: Reach and immediately noticeassuming youre the observant typea brand spankin new playlist. Changes will be isolated to that one particular area, so should you want some Vanilla Reach, you will simply access your regularly frequented playlists. Should you want a new flavor, though, I recommend diving directly into the beta matchmaking hopper. This 4v4 playlist will feature both Slayer and Objective gametypes, with DLC maps being optional. In an effort to provide an environment conducive to soliciting Title Update-specific feedback, all Objective gametypes will have DMR starts. Throughout the time this playlist is active, well be watching not only the decisions you make in Matchmaking, but also the thoughts and opinions you leave in our forum. And its with that data that well continue crafting the best possible playing experience for you and your Halo-loving buddies.
