Has anyone gotten an email about beta yet? NOOBS

Reach!

I haven't received an email about the Beta yet... but at least we know when we will be playing it. I am wondering how they consider it a beta when it's so limited. It's a demo, that they will be stress testing on. Still fun none the less!!

getting rid of BTB?
whats the point of even having a clan anymore then?

9 different team modes, one crappy big team mode, which is not even big, 12 players...
i don't see much of a reason to buy the new maps if the only choice i have now is 4 on 4 skirmish.

man, i was just getting ready to move back to halo 2

Wow this sucks...why the -blam!- is Rumble Pit going unranked??? And if they're going to stop most cheating, why not put Head to Head back in? Now there is no real non-team gametype...this really blows.

The master's back and looking for some bagels

I agree completely, I am in a clan with over 90 member and we all go together and play BTB Skirmish but now that it will be gone it will be hard to play together. They should keep BTB Skirmish and allow those people in big clans to play together or else they are useless. Fix this up BUNGIE, bring back btb skirmish for 8 players.

Subject: Update : achievement points

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.

Will the beta have unlockable achievement points?

I noticed in the vidoc that the animation seemed to be taken directly from Halo 2. Is the animation going to be improved/updated for the beta?

Unranking both Big Team and Rumble Pit gametypes is a very foolish decision. The player base may be shrinking, but why not remove Team Sniper, Skirmish, or Hardcore instead? There are already plenty of ranked 4v4 gametypes, and I see no reason to remove the 1 that offers large party support. Every game of BTB Skirmish fills up in less than a minute. Absolutely ridiculous.

Rumble Pit I'm not as upset about, but once again, it is the only ranked "by yourself" playlist. Team Snipers should either be unranked or destroyed and mixed in with Team Slayer, but definetly not the one gametype that offers a support not offered by any others.

I don't see any reason for this.

Men, we've led these dumb bugs out to the middle of nowhere to keep from getting their filthy claws on earth, but, we stumbled on to something that's so hot for them, that they're scrambling over each other to get it. Well, I don't care if it's God's own anti-son-of-a-b*tch machine, or a giant hola-hoop, we ain't gonna let them have it. What we will let them have, is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in!

Why is RP not ranked? =(

Again, boo no ranked RP

bro I LOVE you that long comment you posted said it all.... So listen up BUNGIE. You can change what ever you want. But when it screws up the very thing that we come on halo to do you have gone to far. First you took off clan matches, yeah I understood why you took it off, but BRING IT BACK.. we all want it back . My clan has been holding custom clan matches for almost a year now.. Everyone wants it back. and second BTB is the one and only ranked game every can play as a large group. And you are taking it away. why? Because when the beta comes out to many people are going to be playing that instead of halo2? what ever.. You keep taking off the matchmaking games every one loves why because you dont like them? sorry it might be YOUR GAME but it is the gamers that made it a hit NOT YOU.. The fact the we get on to play with are friend from all over. And use this game that we love should say somthing to you. But maybe you forgot to listen. I am sorry if I am coming off as a jerk . But you are killing the game that millions of us have come to love. And the game that thousands of us have been playing every week for 2 years now. Stop and think about what you are doing.. and yes BTB Skirmish means that much to me and all my friends..

you all complain too much... jeeze... so what if you have to pay 4 dollars... i think you can scrummage through some pocket change to get that. And so what if they done have the **ONE GAMETYPE YOU PLAY!!!** man do you guys sound like little girls. Would you rather them be focusing on the old or the new? I personally would rather see them working more on halo 3 and THOSE gametypes and matchmaking and all than doing alot of stuff with halo 2.... get over yourselves and just play the game.

it says nothing in the update about usage problems for btb skirm this is bs im on here 1 profile or another everyday or every other day and there is always 40 to 60 thousand people on mid afternoon and night. we always find btb games from levels 30 to 43 and these are legit players arranging mm games for comptition removing btb is horrible max players on a game is a reason many people buy xbl games to play and make friends with as many people with the same hobby they have. I love h2 like many others but to discriminate against 8v8 players and have the only ranked games be 4v4 is blam- retarded i dont get it. Can we have at the very least some reasoning for taking it off or some sign of hope for the playlist there is a ton of support for it with over a thousand posts and 10 - 15 threads it doesnt need a chance it needs to be refreshed or just left alone. try taking all the 4v4 gametypes and making 4 ranked 8v8 gametypes and you will get similar reactions. blam- 4v4

I agree. Quit whining like little -blam!-es. If you love halo so much, just play a different gametype, its a game not your life, and if its your life im sorry. No offense to anyone, actually offense to those whining.
