I hate how there is no more Rumble Training, thats the one I always played :( And BTB Slayer/ Skirmish (even though its one thing now.) :( But with the Matchmaking it sounds great, but I am dissapointed about the playlist. Owell. Can't wait for the new maps!!

"Take a look to the sky just before you die, it's the last time you will"

my main problem with this update is that they said they are getting rid of rumble training but they are really only getting rid of actuall rumble pit and changing it to training...and same w. btb...im giving up this game for graw 2 or forza 2 now because the only thing i still enjoy about this game is big big games of ranked btb

New Maps are NOT required for Team Hardcore???

Weren't these created with Hardcore players in mind a little more than the usual maps? The New Derelict is THE perfect map for hardcore, right up there with Midship and Warlock. Arena maps FTW.

I was going to purchase the new maps up until I read about Big Team Battle joining and being weighted in slayer more than objective games. :( Guess I'll wait for the Halo 3 beta.

Why make RumblePit unranked ?
I don't care all that much about the rank or not, but that idea makes very little sense to me.
There has to be a reason fo that I'm not following. Glad it's still there at least.

"I was born ready."

I'm not going to sell my copy of H2 or cancel my pre-order of H3 -- that's a bit extreme.

But, I too am sad about not being able to have 7-8 people in one party go into BTB games. I understand the whole population concerns, but with the new maps, many people will come back to playing Halo 2 and you'll have your large populations again (I'd think). So, if I'm online with 6-7 friends, we're going to be forced to play customs if we want to be on the same team.

I wish it could be 5-8 BTB and not so much weight on slayer.
BTB slayer (unranked) was WONDERFUL for bringing guests into a party.
BTB skirmish (ranked) was WONDERFUL for all of those who love big CTF and ASSAULT battles.

I feel like these will now be (partially) lost. :(

I KNEW IT

Although it would be completely sick....

For single player only though. I can just see it being ABUSED in Multi-player.

i so agree...rumble pit was awesome...and now you just going to be killing guests who are strafing right and looking at the sky. BTB skirm also was a blast and now its combined and unranked...this is all screwed up now...iv been a die hard h2 fan since the day it came out and this really pisses me off...

OK, yes, it is very true that I'm a dumb ass. I'm not denying that. However, isn't the whole point of a beta to increase the amount of users until you get someone dumb enough to try something you haven't anticipated.

rank should not mean that much to you, its just a number to make the games more fun, THAT IS ALL.

  • 04.13.2007 7:06 PM PDT

Wow this blows. Couldn't they have waited until Halo 3 comes out to get rid stuff like ranked Rumble and BTB Skirmish? I also noticed that the max players in BTB games is going to be 12! That sucks, cmon. Those of us that loved 8v8 Skirmish games didn't mind the wait.

sig goes where?

i live in NZ and no its not real, its placeholder until Bungie reveals the real box art
It's just for those who want to pre-order (like me)

If there's one thing I have learned in working with you, it's that there is always margin for error.
- RvB, Simmons to Griff.

Frankie,

Just wanted to clarify, Does the bubble shield go through floors? In the video (right before the sniper shot on the Gyrophobia looking map) there is an orange blob sticking through the ceiling that has the octagonal bubble shield type geometry look to it. Orange, why?
Personally I think it is a bad idea to have it go through floors like that, will it be like that in the beta/ final version.

One more thing: I don't want this to turn out to be a game that still has some bugs after it is released. I hope you guys would consider pushing back the release date to finalize/fix/ make everything fantastic.
