Drink til she's cute!

I read a moderator said they have given reasons why they cut BTB, i want to know why, i havent read about it anywhere. I never come on here until lately.

Can someone please explain it to me so i can be content with it and know there was a valid reason.

Since when did they cut BTB? I was sure they merged Big Team Skirmish and Big Team Slayer into BTB unranked...


Edit: Markup mistake, must be getting late..

the slayer you know what i mean. And low usage thats crap i always got a game, i might had to wait a minute or two at most but i still got a game. Thats dumb they should have left it there and use people should be able to choose if we want to wait. Not a good reason.

Err ... way to just quote Bungie.

Like the other guy said, what's the harm in waiting a minute or two to find a game? Why does Bungie have this obsession of getting rid of the lesser-played playlists? Why not just get rid of everything except Team Slayer and save us all the hassle of waiting the extra 60 seconds it would take us to find a game we actually -- get this -- WANT to play.

I'm still bitter and confused about the removal of Multi-Team. I played that playlist religiously and it never took more than a minute to find a game at any time of day on any day of the week.

What Bungie isn't realizing is that people have one list they like more than most, and so they tend to stick to that list. If the same people are most always playing that list, it's unlikely there will ever be much of a problem finding a game.

So, rather than consider our preferences, they do everything they can to save us the horrendous, unbearable, unthinkable, unspeakable wait of > 60 seconds. We should thank them so much! That extra minute we're saving by being force-fed playlists that we don't even like is going to be so useful down the line. I mean, gee, if we play 12 games that we don't like, it's like we get the 13th one free! What an awesomely incredible deal!

Thanks, Bungie. You guys are the bestest, and I love you for making the game so much funnerer!
