It's full of quitters, griefers, a-holes, betrayers, etc. What was so wrong with Big Team Skirmish that they took it out? There are many of us objective based gametype players out there and this new BTB is mainly full of slayer variants. I mean c'mon, 8v8 duals on Midship? Are you serious? And why were the new maps not even included in BTB? I played a game of Team Skirmish the othere day and it was 4v4 land grab on Tombstone. The -blam!-? I haven't quit out of so many matches ever. Someone needs to fix BTB or at least bring back BTS.

Dude get this-

Last night me and some friends that played BTB a lot went and played it for old time's sake. It was Flag on Relic. We agreed to let the other team have a flag cap so they don't quit.

We didn't even have to try LOL. We literally had to give them instructions just to get the flag off, then we basically held their hand right to their base so they could cap it. It took them the entire round.

Then we got theirs down in 30 seconds next round.

Then we didn't let them get out of their base the following round....

Then they all quit so..........yeah. Great fun there.

BTB is a joke now. If you search with a party you're gauranteed a win. If you search alone you're gauranteed everyone on your team is going to quit.

You guys like jokes right?

No Matter the Size, Finish the Fight.

I have become tired of people who have ruined Big Team Battle too, not really that of the gametypes and levels, but that of the players. Many of the players tend to be uncooperative and bothersome. There have been many instances of betrayals, but not only does BTB have that, but the other gametypes as well. This is why I am going to post a new thread as soon as my 24 hour "New Topic Delay" is through. The Halo games are rated "M for Mature," as in BE MATURE OR DO NOT PLAY AT ALL! Trash talking has exceeded fun play in Halo 2 and for sure it spreads as it angers.

As long as nobody quits and as long as it ain't on lockout or midship, it's fun.

Rumble Pit is garbage now, it's not fun.

agreed, its hard too find a game that is fun to play, with all the idiots,a-holes that are now playing this , takeing the ranking away has opened up the door for all those people who think betraying,and f-up the game is funny or cool, at least bring some sort of big team back with ranking to keep the game worthwhile to play, now you cant even play a game with out some or all the above crap going on,yea there are other game types to play but alot of us enjoyed playing BTB,, the skirmish games and slayer but now only having one option all the the a-holes have only one place to go,not everybody is that way but no matter how good you are you still want to play an enjoyable game and have fun ,with players of the same skill level even better...

That's the thing, when there was a ranking system you could work your way out of the lower levels where people are jag-offs killing teammates and -blam!- around, now w/out ranking and BTB Skirmish Halo 2 online sucks monkey balls!!!!! Thanks Bungie for screwing up a perfectly good system.COCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1


LOL Well said! I'm happy people are also upset about the BTB Skirmish being unranked. It doesn't really make any sense. I do believe that Bungie will change it back, seeing how so many people are outraged. Keep up the complaining because Bungie needs to see how disappointed people are about it.

I think it's retarded that BTB is unranked too, but when we're being matched is it REALLY unranked? Or are rankings just hidden from us? It makes sense that games immediately following the update would be bad becasue everyone would have low ranks. Maybe they still follow our skill, but don't show it when we're matching since ranks could be anywhere from 1 to 50 to compensate for guests.

I saw a weekly update once that said "unranked games aren't ranked, but we do everything we can to ensure a good match."

Does anyone know how playres are choosen for unranked matches?

I think they took it out, beause almost everyone was playing BTB games and they wanted to spread traffic to other severs. Thanks for your worthless input FosTer.
