Bungie is reporting that our maps will be integrated into matchmaking later this evening, along with a playlist update. Make sure you download the updated version of Tombstone first, we made a few minor fixes to some issues that cropped up in the final build and that both we and Bungie’s test team overlooked. There will also be a complete reset of ranks to coincide with the matchmaking update. They’re also reporting that both maps will be available for free in early July. We think that’s awesome, especially given the difficulty so many people have had getting them to download properly.

I’m also happy to announce that we have a MySpace site. Why do we have a MySpace site? I have no idea. But here it is. Check out the pics from our Blastacular Map Pack launch party!

We’re thrilled to report on the creation of the first ever CA fan site! CertainAffinity.net is now online and promises to not only keep tabs on us, but also has some exclusive content coming soon that we’re sure you’ll enjoy!

In other news, Bungie is finally reporting that the map downloading problems have been fixed. Woohoo! Sorry we haven’t been able to keep you up to date, these sorts of things are out of our hands and unfortunately we’re not able to comment on them. Frankie hints at more news to come, we definitely recommend you check back soon!
