"I'm a 40 in Team Spelling, but I have the most worstest time leveling up in Team Superlatives."

You'll need to redownload the maps....they mixed a couple of problems on them. Don't worry, you won't be cahraged again.

Hi, I've just created my own Live account and I have a question that's kinda on the same topic. I've played using my friends account while he was on holiday and really enjoyed playing BTB Slayer. Now I've got myself a 360 and an account I find that BTB Slayer is gone! That's bascially the only reason I bought the 360 and signed up. Does anyone know if this is a permanent thing or just temporary while they mess with the playlists??
I've downloaded all the maps this weekend and I don't get any errors so that can't be the reason. I've read this site but can't find anything that definitively answers my question.
I'm a little sad because I really did enjoy playing BTB Slayer, I've tried Team Slayer on for size but found myself somewhat out of my depth! It's just not as fun.
I also tried Big Team Battle but didn't like some of the game formats so gave up on that. I really hope is temporary because I'd hate to have my beautiful 360 going to waste!
Thanks in advance
Newbie!!! xxxxxx

Regina,

Unfortunately, you're screwed, unless Bungie listens to the massive complaints and brings BTB slayer back in a later update. This doesn't happen often, but it has in the past. (Team SWAT, for example was brought back due to popularity).

While BTB Slayer was fun, I don't think it had the kind of support that SWAT did/does.

People that come on to the forums here is only a small percentage of the Halo 2 playing population. If more players came here to request BTB Slayer back, perhaps that would do the trick. It might not. Since they reduced the game types to make it easier to find matches, they wouldn't want to add more. Halo 3 will suck a huge percentage of players from Halo 2.

Thanks for the reply, although it wasn't quite the answer I wanted!
I'm seriously disappointed in that, if I'd have known they'd removed it then I reallt wouldn't have signed up until Halo 3 was out. Is there anywhere or anyone I can contact to cancel my subscription?

You can cancel it at any time, but you won't get your money back. Your best bet is to practice on a game type you tolerate the most and get used to the game play. Halo 3 will be similar. That would give you practice and you wouldn't be wasting your money, since you will be using your account. There are other things you can do on the marketplace, too, if that is interesting.

Personally, I'd keep the account and play Team SWAT, Slayer, Snipers, whatever to get practice in. If it is only a 3 month account, then don't renew it. If it is a year, keep it so it is active when Halo 3 is out...

BRAINS......BRAINS! Sorry to be off topic. I figured that I'd help the new person out.

About the new maps and you not getting them to work. If you delete them and redownload them, it SHOULD work...theoretically. Bungie/Microsoft will have a record of you purchasing them, so there is no loss, other than download times.

I have the new maps, I downloaded them the same day as release. They gave me some trouble at first, but I finally downloaded them, I played a custom match with some friends online, so it worked fine. I quit playing until the dashboard update and wanted to play knowing levels were reset and that the new maps were added. I get on to play and it tells me I need the new maps, I got to play them in split screen real quick because I heard something about the cache, I played them both for a two minute minimum, one time a piece and than went back to play matchmaking and it still says I need the maps.

Sorry if this has been answered, etc. I'm not much of an online person and don't read a lot. I just would really like the help I need to play again. Thanks in advance.
