Subject: BTB is still 8v8.

I played the new BTB and it was still 8v8 when I remember Bungie saying they were making
it 6v6.

Did they decide not to change it?
Or is this a mistake from bungie?

It's says it's 6v6 but it's 8v8. Thank goodness, 6v6 isn't BTB.

Can somebody tell me how to make clickable links in a post. Please.

  • 05.11.2007 6:05 AM PDT

like this: [url*]www.whateverthesiteis.com[/url*]

just take out the asterisks ( the *'s ) and you got a clickable link.

If you want to make your link as a text sentence, you do this:

[url*=www.whateverthesiteis.com]type what you want as the link here. [/url*] once again, without asterisks.

brings back the high school days, when i took computer applications (or something) and we started doing this stuff. handy stuff to know how to do.

well hopefully if we complain enough, they'll bring back ranked btb as one big playlist.

You all must be on crack or something.

There is nothing worse than a room full of 11 idiots (usually at which 6 of which are screaming kids, and the other 5 don't move once the game starts) and your own party of 5 normal people.

I can't wait until they fix BTB so it's 6v6 like it's supposed to be. 8v8 sucks giant king kong nads. Everyone has called it BGB from the beginning.

It was royal suckage that it wasn't right last night.

BTB is the BEST! YOu have lag because your connection sucks, not because of the game. Get a job and get a cable modem.

I think they should have a 12v12! Now that would kick a$$!!

6v6 is stupid. We already have 4v4.

By the "6v6 is stupid. We already have 4v4." "logic" (notice that logic is also in its own quotes) ... I offer up the following supreme line of reasoning...

8v8 is stupid. We already have, or will soon have, 6v6.

Just to give myself a lil bit of chaffing downstairs, I'll do some math for you as well:

4v4 is 67% of the total number of people involved in a 6v6 (33% difference).
6v6 is 75% of the total number of people involved in a 8v8 (25% difference).

So 6v6 actually is more similar to 8v8 than it is to 4v4, which shows your "6v6 is stupid. We already have 4v4" line of "reasoning" to be even more incorrect than it already appears at first glance.

I could go on, but it's just too easy.

Silly kid. Since we already have 4v4, adding 4 more players isn't as good as adding 8. Simple addition.

Don't blame the game for your poor a$$ connection. Lag is a result of connection, not playlist.

Interesting. A much more elegant and sophisticated analysis than mine. BTW, if I'm a kid, what's that make you son?

I haven't mentioned lag as one of the issues, but you seem obsessed with it. It isn't that the 8v8 playlist is laggy, it's that it sucks because naturally, no one wants that many idiots in one room.

I like the 'more is better' analysis. That sort of thing is usually brought up by those who don't have enough (of whatever) in the first place. I have a feeling that a 'more is better' analysis probably wouldn't fare very well for you in more than a few areas.

Yes, Achronos mentioned this in a post in Optimatch, where this post should be.

  • 05.11.2007 12:46 PM PDT

Yup, I had an 8v8 on containment last night.

Wow imagine 5v5 gulch wars... *shudder*

Exactly! If I want that, I will just do Team Snipers. 8v8 is good enough.
