Subject: What Happened To BTB?

Big Team Battle has gone down the drain now that its unranked!

Before in BTB it was great my favorite MM type. You had 8 on 8 teams big maps and it would be like CTF and 3 people get in a warthog drive to the other base get the flag or get blown up trying!

Now you start a game CTF i rush and get in the warthog driver spot...no one else gets in i back up and honk the guest players just sit there and shoot me..
Then i finally get someone in we head to base (Of course he isn't shooting anyone) we get there i hop out he gets out also. I grap flag and he folows me.
We get to warthog and i tell him to drive...what does he do? shoot me...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before in BTB it was nice the other team scores and we keep on fighting then we eventually get a flag score too. they still may end up winning but we had fun. (Besides of the semi-rare de levlers)

Now in BTB the other team scores and then im pretty sure the guest gets mad and wants to be on a winning team so tells there friend "lets quit".
And they either quit or kill own team mates!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I could keep going on and on telling about this but of course i would need 3 days to type all that.
What i am saying is BTB Sucks, you cant even enjoy a fun game unless you are one that enjoys killing you team mates.

I would do alot of things to get BTB ranked again.

I just started playing Halo2 online like 2 months ago and I really enjoy BTB. Since the update I don't mind the people who quit right away because sometimes you just hate the game type. But the people who give up the instant the game becomes challenging irk me. If the other team scores or is actually putting up a fight they quit. What is the point in playing if all you want is to win without working for it.
Anyways you can add me as a friend if you'd like, I'm a noob but I wont shoot you and I really want to learn some new strategies.

I don't understand how come bungie does not see that the majority of players want BTB SKIRMISH to be the same as it was before and don't do anything about it, from what i see these forums are good for nothing !!!
THERE IS NO POINT IN KEEPING THESE FORUMS RUNNING !!!
i thought the forums were a place where all the user would gather and put out some ideas and complaints and ask for help to other users this way bungie could keep the online gaming a good experience but from what i see they just don't give a fawk !!!!

They merged BTB Slayer and Skirmish because of the drop in Halo2 players. They did it with us in mind. Bungie didn't want players waiting a long time for matchs. I don't know why they made it unranked but that doesn't really bother me.
Bungie does what they can with the resources Mirosoft gives them. You should be thankful that there is a community here that you can complain to.

The problem with merging them is that half the people who play like Slayer and the other half like Objective. So no matter what playlist comes up, half the people will quit or just goof off.

I personally could care less if they were ranked. But BTB Skirmish is not for me. I don't see the point of CTF and if some dude is barking out instructions to me like he thinks he's Bobby Knight, I have no choice but to kill him.

Here is another vote to separate.

I see what you mean about being told what to do and im not a winning whore but the only way to win in to co-operate usually. i also hate when they yell comands. i mean just ask nicely.
