Bungie Removing Shield Doors ?

[SpyShadow]

I've listen to Bungie's most recent pod cast and it sound's like they made a game variant that will replace the shield doors on Snowbound and Epitapth. Below is the link to there pod cast. Download it and listen to it and tell me what you guys think. This might open new opportunities for modding but you never know.

Link to Download Bungie's Pod Cast

*Boneless - Snowbound - Some Shield Doors are removed.
*Epilog - epitapth - No Shield Doors
*Sandtarp - Sandtrap - Removed the Elepthants

*Bungie says to save the maps is by the Recent List in Custom Games. Not sure if it is a map varaint or a game variant.
*Autoupdate + Matchmaking update will happen at the same time.

We have known about this for a while, i dont think its a gametype though, i will probley be a map varient.

Well, I this check bungie this now so I had no idea about it. So I this though to point it out to you guys.

It would be interesting if it was a gametype.
Very interesting indeed.

But it would most likely be a usermap.
Hopefully we could pull some more research off of this later.

It is a usermap considering they said a special Forge edition had to be produced to make this possible in usermaps.

[Holy Ownage]

So where would Forge get the tags and stuff from then?
Would it not have to include a .map file if there was a difference between the one with and without shield doors?

I'm pretty sure all they did was change the coordinates of the shield doors to like 50000000000, 5000000000000, 50000000000 so that nobody can see them anymore...

It'd be funny if they used sandbox to do it

And the shields doors are stored in usermaps, right?

i bet it coincides with AU2, they probably will make it possible in there. And technically placement blocks for them are in the usermaps :/
