if you're going to make BTB unranked, at least take out the objective games, nobody is going to take them seriously.

Nice to see Big Team Battle ranked again.

Posted by: shanksterr
Did you even read the update? It clearly says Big Team Battle

I hope BTB becomes rank in time.

wow bungie blows, im just going to sell my preorder ticket. No BTB is so dumb, you guys suck

BTB is unranked only... yet these people want it ranked as well. Perhaps this is a sign for bungie...

BTB Ranked, anyone?

Nice sarcasm, ArmedWolf001.

Being on-topic is not my style. I prefer to be around the topic, beside it, or all up in the topics grill.

I love all of it an I'm glad to see Multi-Team back. I loved Multi-Team. It was possibly the best playlist in Halo 2 EVER.

-- Objective BTB matches are where the REAL fun is. Anyone who playe it for the slayer was lame!

8v8 CTF FTW!

nooooooooo why isnt btb ranked? i love BTB... but the rest is good

  • 09.22.2007 5:10 PM PDT

Hey baby, its all Kool and the Gang.

I'm assuming voice chat will be enabled for teams even though its a ranked match, right?

Awesomeness, I like the selection!

I actually like that BTB isn't ranked, because there would be too many "Moochers", you know the guys who are in last place but go up in rank anyways because the 7 other people on their team actually did something?

  • 09.22.2007 5:11 PM PDT

check out my halo armor!

Your joking right? I mean seriously.. BTB isnt going to be ranked? Do you guys actually want people to play the larger scaled maps that you worked so hard on or just have a few thousand idiots with guest roaming around on them not even playing...

Damn.. this is -blam!-.

Cant wait for the game but this is a huge letdown.

  • 09.22.2007 5:11 PM PDT

Ignorance leads to fear, fear lead to hate, and hate has ruined this world.

What the Hell Bungie? Seriously. You give more social playlists and more options out there to people who don't even have freaking Gold accounts. Meanwhile, those of us who purchased an Xbox Gold service get stuck with two mirror teams games, Tactical and Objective. They are the same freaking types. BUT, you decide to take out Hardcore, and Big Team Battle is STILL unranked, and now there isn't a snipers. Why the hell are you catering to people who are GUESTS?

They should get a team slayer, and an FFA. That's it. Otherwise, Team Snipers, Team Slayer, Multi-Team, BTB, Team Skirmish, FFA and maybe Team Tactical.

I hate you guys so much now.

Emergence 2006
"I have defied gods and demons."
"I am your shield, I am your SWORD."
"I know you, your past, your future."
"This is the way the world ends."

Can we get ranked btb. That was by far my favorite game type.

Let's mount our chairs on the wall.

BTB wasn't ranked because they would have even more people b*****ing about lag and people take ranked games seriously.

They should focus on making forge and community-made gametypes before anything else in the playlists...

  • 09.22.2007 5:13 PM PDT

Anyone else think it kind of sucks you can't hear the other team in ranked games? I like to listen to the other team especially in ranked because (if you're close enough) you can hear them spatting off their tactics and team's placement. Also, when someone is "sneaking" and they speak they become visable on the motion sensor. Are we no longer going to see that? That might make it suck a bit but I guess what will be, will be. Can't wait for the launch.

as an unranked playlist. Try lpaying BTb right now, i will tell you exactly what happens. You go in, get to step 2 and have all the little kids screaming their lungs out just to be little -blam!-s. Then step 4 comes anc then the game starts. Its going to be the worst host possible, you have atleast 4 elites on your team and 3 guests. The guests all start betraying yuo then they get booted making your game now 8v5, then the elite on your team betrays you for the sniper then quits out when he gets killed, making it 4v8, now you quit bvecause it is just a complete waste of time. Plus the fact Team Duals XTRA on Midship is NOT a BTB gametype

I find it funny how everything but BtB gets to basically be in Ranked and Social, usually unranked BTB ends up with a lot of leaving or betraying. Also I'm sorta disappointed that 1v1 isn't back into multiplayer, my fav to play. In my opinon these two were the most fun when they were ranked and took some teamwork and smarts to play. Hopefully they'll be changes in the end.

Otherwise dig the playlists Bungie. As always you cease to amaze in many ways. Should get Microsoft or someone to get ya some dedicated servers lol. Keep on doing what ya do.

i dunno if anyone payed attention to why BTB was dropped from ranked playlists in the first place.

It had an extremely low play count compared to the others, and was made unranked, just like rumble pit

Obviously if BTB unranked is played a bunch in H3, it will be put into matchmaking, so stop whining
