Ok for all you guys who love BTB skirmish here is your chance to show bungie how much you love it. BTB is really one of the best game types because it differers from all of the other 4v4 gametypes. Once they do away with BTB SKirmish (Ranked) and turn it into a 6v6 (non ranked game) it will turn into a gametype where guests play and people who just like to betray and mess around do there thing. The competiveness of the new game type will never be like the old BTB Skirmish. I ask everyone to post messages to show bunie how much BTB skirmish really means to us.

they should keep it ranked so people dont drop out and you can actually have good balanced games
but they should also drop it down to 6v6 to elminate the lag issues with BTB

The sole reason I play BTB is because it is 8v8. Remember, they had a 6v6, but they got rid of it.

You're asking people to state which non-released game they like better?

It's like asking a virgin whether they like being on top or on bottom.

I think they should keep it 8 Vs. 8. I don't really like BTB, but that's how I think it should be.

THis game is completely different as it relys on teamwork rather than raw skill. They should have an option for the games to start up as 6v6, 7v7, or 8v8. If lots of players are online then have the game host a 8v8 match. If it is taking a while to find a match just start up a 6v6. That might solve some issues. But, for all those who like BTB please post below to help show bungie how much we want BTB to stay ranked.

BTB is really the only game type that requires team cooperation, teamwork, chat, and team shooting. And the 8v8 just makes it so much more intense. Besides, where else can you get a killmanjaro?...

lol im not flaming but i do NOT have to be in BTB to get a killamanjaro. I can get my friends to stand in the middle of lockout in a line with no shields, i stand at the front, and shoot 8 Br bursts and BAM KILLAMANJARO! (or just do like i did on my old acc and own the -blam!- in team snipes, ahh the great feeling of a kid not playing and all his teamates keep spawning near him so i can get a killamanjaro just by standing and shooting.)

anyone who's played more than you has no life

anyone who's played less than you is a noob

No - they should combine Team Skirmish 4v4 with BTB Skirmish 8v8 for a ranked 6v6 skirmish.

Player numbers? UP
Ranked? YES
100% Skirmish? YES
