***UPDATE: As of April 11th, CTF on Epicborough and Ricochet on all maps have been removed from HCS Preseason Cup 2 and Iron Games HCS Atlanta due to indicator and spawn issues. The map rotation below has been edited to reflect these changes.***



ORIGINAL ARTICLE:



Out of the six maps presented to the community last week, two came out on top: Epicborough and Eden. Alongside the new maps we’ll be seeing the introduction of ricochet, a gametype first introduced in Halo 4. The final decision on which maps and gametypes will be included in the regular season will be determined following the cup. Below is a list of the new maps/gametypes that will be joining the rotation this Sunday:



Epicborough: Capture the Flag | Neutral Bomb Assault | Ricochet
