Halo 4 community playlist, new Spartan Ops and new Specializations
The "Community Forge Test" playlist is now online with six new maps created by Halo 4 community members in Forge which were then selected by 343 Industries. All six maps - Despair, Garrotte, Relay, Scythe, Shutout and Simplex - are small to medium-sized creations made for 4 vs 4 combat in Infinity Slayer, Capture the Flag, King of the Hill and SWAT.
Please take note that the "Test" qualifier in the playlist's name as this is 343 Industries' way of working out any bugs or issues with the maps before possibly adding them to regular multiplayer playlists.
For those waiting for the final five episodes of Spartan Ops, you will finally have your wish granted with the launch of Episode 6. The latest episode brings five more missions that pick up with the cliffhanger at the end of Episode 5 before the series took a break.
343 Industries is promising more variety in locations and missions with the final five episodes including the likelihood that the setting will "move off of Requiem."
Expect a ungodly 2.21 GB download from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for Spartan Ops Episodes 6-10 before you start playing.
Monday's update also unlocks two more armor Specializations for everyone that has reached Service Rank 50. These were previously only available to those that received unlock codes for playing the game early.
Pioneer: "Spartan optimization for deployment into uncharted, hostile territory (such as uncolonized worlds or Forerunner constructs like Requiem) for the purpose of gathering and relaying information. The Fast Track armor mod allows Spartans to gain more experiential data from each encounter, effectively ranking up more quickly during the process."
"Pathfinder: Spartan optimization for deep, unconventional deployment within unknown enemy territory and with little to no assistance from command. The Gunner armor mod decreases the time of weapon overheat when occupying a vehicle weapon position, and increases Spartan speed while carrying a detached turret."
Two more specializations will be unlocked on Monday 28th January (Next week) with the last two unlocking on February 4th.

THuNdErModsCoD I hate what they did with the Community Forge Test playlist. Reason for. Half the kids on there would be getting owned right now if the gametypes for the MLG maps that are in there have the MLG gametypes. I find I am going negative one or two because some kid decides ohh I am going to use assault rifles and kick peoples butts with it. While I am like oh this is an MLG map so I am going to use the standard class for it. I use the BR with explosives resupply and frags. Plus thruster and plasma pistol (plasma pistol I don't use) That's the standard GB class. I am upset that we can't use the proper gametype. I just wish they wouldn't have done that. Either way screw you 343 for not putting in the proper gametypes and not sticking MLG into this.
Default GB Class is BR only. Nothing more.
But I agree with you, they should have put the MLG settings with the maps, they are the MLG maps for a start.

DeadlyDasher Halo 2 (Because of XBL) > Halo CE > Halo 3 > Halo 4 > Halo Reach
Looks accurate, even though I didn't get to experience Halo 2 or Halo CE at their time.
