Good news except for the Unranked Rumble Pit. I'm surprised since Rumble Pit is one of the more popular playlists. I can't imagine the reasoning behind that. Please explain?

Ranked Rumble pit is not popular.... that's why it was cut.

what time will it all happen?


Look about halfway down from the top of this page.... Learn to Read!!! Otherwise you look pretty -blam!- stupid when the answer to your question is on the same page above your post.


I'm sorry, nowhere does it say.. not in the story, nor in this topic, exactly WHEN we'll be able to play on these new maps. It says the rank reset will start around 12 pt, but nowhere does it mention that's when the maps will be available.


What time are you going to go to bed tonight?


Probably around midnight eastern due to work at 10 a.m


OK... so let me get this straight..... You don't even know "EXACTLY" what time you are going to bed tonight, but you expect Bungie to give you an "EXACT" time when they will be implementing an Update that is infinitely more complex than you "going to bed" ???

Sorry bud.... You Failed.




YEAHHHH cuz you're a failure if you don't know what time you are going to bed. Your argument is completely unjustified. why is it that when someone posts something on a forum a -blam!- like you has to come in and be exactly that a -blam!-. Go be a jerk to someone else. What do you live in a school bus out in the woods? Do you think you look cool trying to use an example on a -blam!- video game forum that makes no sense just to be a complete -blam!- to someone?
Sorry bud....YOU FAILED

What chart are you looking at? Bungie had a weekly update awhile back showing that was one of the top playlists. Anybody remember where to find that pie chart?

Finally, the Matchmaking Playlist and Ranks are being reset. Some of us have waited quite awhile for this to happen. I like the stats being reset like this because you can have the legit 50's on your side. Unless, you get unfortunate and they are on the other team!!! <(^.^<) ^(^.^)^ (>^.^)> Dancing monster!@!

Bungie aaahhah! I am extremely mad rumble is not ranked. that was my favorite game. i know some ppl say that it is moslty just cleaning up other kills or whatever, but thats what the game is killing anyone you can and just an all out free for all. not having this one ranked is a big mistake bungie, especially since it has been ranked since day 1. why go and change something good?

basically its gonna be 12am-4am (PDT pacific daylight time), 11pm- 3am (PST pacific standard time);
1am-5am (MDT mountain daylight time), 12 am-4 am (MST mountain standard time);
2am-6am (CDT central daylight time), 1am-5am (CST central standard time);
and finally 3 am-7am (EDT eastern daylight time), 2 am -6 am (EST eastern standard time)

depending on whether your area observes daylight savings time

if you do then use the daylight time
if you dont use standard time

currently most of the US is on daylight time, but it can very

I don't know whats more unsettling from bungie, the fact that someone suggested "Lets make rumble pit unranked!", or that someone else said "Yeah thats a good idea" and made it happen.

Here you go...

And guys, please remember the forums are not the most unbiased place to find data on who plays what. You may have noticed that people here tend to make wild claims with no support evidence quite often here, just to add some kind of data point to support whatever point they are trying to make. Do you really think if the statistics some of you pull out of your collective nether regions were true (as in Big Team Skirmish was as popular as you say) that we'd be condensing it? Same goes for Rumble Pit.

and this...
Posted by: Achronos
Two reasons:

1. It doesn't "shut people up." When we have posted the charts in the past they are either ignored, misinterpreted, or people demand to know why we are lying about usage.
2. It isn't a small effort to make charts from the data in an easily presentable form. Considering that it wouldn't change anything (people would still be pissed about the changes they don't like, and we'd still make them anyway), it is simply time we don't have. We are two days until Halo 3 becomes public for the first time, and a few days after that even more people see it. Nobody has half a day to make charts for you to explain something you're going to disagree with anyway. That is a bit harsh, but that is how it has been in the past when we have shown a few usage charts. Besides, I've said pretty much what those charts would tell you, and you and others have basically told me in no uncertain terms that we are interpreting things wrong and if only you had the data you could show me why.

This is a circular argument and it is pointless to continue. The changes will be made, and we'll let them stew a bit, and then make more changes based on the results. It is possible you'll get rank BTB then. It is also possible population will drop off radically and we'll have to remove more playlists. But I'm done arguing about these changes. We've both given our opinions - I'm not going to convince you and you aren't going to convince me. I thank you for keeping it civil (you and others too) - despite the complaints, I don't think many people made it personal and had to be banned. That means a lot to me. Hopefully whatever the next playlist changes are will be more to your liking.

Tonight is the night for the long awaited Halo 2 Xbox Live Matchmaking Playlist update and ranking reset. Tombstone and Desolation will be required for some of the playlists and if you purchased them before Monday, 5/7, you will need to download them again before you can play online. Both maps will become free in early July.

dont know if this has been answered. but we dont have to pay again do we?

There's this really really big, ginormous sign that already says "no, you don't have to purchase these ever again" when you re-download them.

I just got home from work and I try downloading the "fixed" maps but I keep getting the installation failed message. WTF is going on now? After being charged $4 for maps that I couldn't download, then waiting a 1 1/2 weeks to finally get a answer and able to download the maps...I go downloading the "fixed" maps only to get the "installation failed" message, this is becomming very draining seriously. Bungie and Xbox needs to get their s**t together.

Always with the complaining, you people. It never ends.

Anyway, I'm glad it's finally happening. Kiss your precious ranks goodbye, kiddos! >:D Also, I don't understand why people are still having trouble downloading the maps. I have the crappiest old Xbox and the most simple setup imaginable, and I downloaded (and redownloaded) them with no problem whatsoever. I'm not boasting, I'm just saying that there is not an across-the-board failure here. I even wonder if some (SOME) of these problems are due to user errors. Sigh.
