This Is BullShnizz, I've loaded up six games since the "new maps" have been released and I haven't gotten one new map yet! I keep playing unranked and F@$king beaver creek pulls up twice, gemini once, sanctuary etc. what the He77? what did I pay money for? come on now! at least make the new maps much more frequent until the Beta comes out and only the hardcore losers who can't afford a 360 will be playing Halo2 then change it back to the old "new" maps but increase the frequency of the phantom new maps N O W ! ! ! !

Well its about freaking time. and what the hell is this about rumble pit being unranked?!?!? I love it, but there's hardly a point to playing it now that it's unranked. Why can't we keep rumble training and keep rumble pit ranked?? i mean WTF!

Quarem,

Good post, rational, logical and implementable. We're not all 11 year old Americans playing on Daddy's credit card - You have affected a broad customer base with this implementation and in future I suggest a little bit of risk/swot analysis before pushing live. What I don't understand is this: given all the problems didnt Bungie have a failsafe scheme? Surely a simple 'rollback' to the previous matchmaking would have solved this entire debacle till problems with the new maps were ironed out in a preproduction environment.

Beats me, should have just folded Bungie instead of just blindly raising into the pot with no hand.

Good luck in the future.

I totally agree with you on this. The new playlist is the worst I've seen since Halo 2 went Xbox Live. Someone needs to do something about this. Now I don't even feel excited about playing rumble pit. I hope everyone that doesn't like the new playlist sends Bungie feedback on this and tell them to bring back ranked rumble pit.

Now why did you go and remove btb Skirmish, now its just Big team Battle unranked and people freaken quit constantly, there was no point in these updates I would say, if you just reseted the ranks and made the playlists require the maps and blah blah I think there would not be so much complaining among this topic and halo players. Now there are less games to play and halo 3 is so far away and I can't even pre-order it because its out of stock and its not even in stock yet. This is going to make halo2 less fun and I think thats the point to make more people "buy" halo 3. IMO

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Wow. Need to swing the banhammer a bit around here.

The -blam!-ing in this thread it more than on Major's Blog. Jees.

Pesonally, the fact that they'll be made free in JULY is fantastic news! Previously there was no word of them EVER being free, much less than them being free in 2 months. Much quicker turn around than the last map pack to being free (i suppose it has to be with the decreasing player count) and Halo 2 remains the example that other games should follow in this regard.

Which means the matchmaking community will be segregated for only a short while, much less time than Gear's september free release for their map pack.

I thank yee Bungie.

Personally, and i think i speak for a large demographic here, I'm tired of having to, for lack of a better word, suffer from Bungie's mistakes. I had to wait 4 weeks until i even had the opportunity to get the new maps, which i was charged for twice, then not refunded for one. we had to download them again today, and this among other incidents all in a service we already pay for, and then some. I understand things malfunction but when you pay someone and monitor and are getting money for these things i just don't think every month is acceptable, if nothing else these maps should've been free as consolation. Thats all that should have happened i don't think that seven million unique users should have to retrieve their ranks back. Which for some, have taken months to fairly acquire. all of that wiped away from a service they paid for and an additional feature which we also paid for, and in many cases paid for multiple times

There is no reason to eliminate BTB Battle (ranked). There are many people who play this mode only. I would not be surprised to see your total games a day or online players drop since this update.

Personally, I dont not mind resetting the stats, but I would not have changed the playist. You dont fix something that is not broken.

↨↨↨Im the TedyBearOfDeath you should be scared.↨↨↨

bengals fan04 for one u didnt have to tripple post and two dont be stupid just because u dont have a credit card doesnt mean u cant pay for the maps maps you can go to a bank and get a bank card because we dont deserve the maps free anyways so stop whining like ur 5 years old and grow up

personlly i think the update is awsome and out of the 2 times i played team swat on tombstone was crazy fun for me... maybe not for the other team but for me it was : - P i havent played desolation yet and hope to soon

i also think the rank reset(its about time) along with the new banhammer system(or wut ever they did to make it better) is sweet i love getting my levels up with my friends and not having to worry about modders
