The boys at Bungie have just posted the Halo 3 update and boy, is it fat.
First, there will be two limited time game modes, including Grifball, which will be available from Thursday, March 6 at midnight until March 10 at midnight (all times Pacific Standard). The weekend of March 20 will feature Team SWAT, an old Halo 2 gametype where players have no shields, increased body health and do not have the luxury of radar.
They also note the following fixes and updates:
The Heroic DLC hopper has underwent some revisions as well. The hopper has been split into DLC Slayer (4v4) and DLC Objective (6v6) featuring a mix of various gametypes on the DLC maps. Slayer variants include Team Snipers, Team Rockets, Team BRs, Team Duel and Team Duals. Objective variants include Multi Flag CTF, Multi Flag BR, One Flag, Assault, Neutral Bomb Assault and Team King.
A number of other changes to maps and Matchmaking were included in today’s rollout:
- Fixed map exploit on The Pit
- Fixed map exploit on Construct
- Fixed map exploit on Epitaph
- Reduced Ranked Big Team Battle “Large party” size to six players and increased Big Team threshold to two*
- Fixed Spartan Laser falling through map
- Fixes to matchmaking to allow more even leveling for players

So, go ahead and dive into Halo 3 and enjoy the update right now.
