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

That involves factors from Halo 2. Also when Bungie made BTB unranked, it's population lowered further.

Come On Bungie!! Look at all these replies, you have got to re-consider the BTB being unranked.I hope Bungie does say something and let the people decide about BTb because 90% atleast wants it ranked, come on now

no. 8v8 is BTB. It being unranked robs it of its Dignity. BTb is only exclusive to halo and is the sole reason for the big maps to be made, and now bungie shows how much they dont care about us by unranking it

So Basically Bungie , Infection was made for custom's only ? Seriously SWAT and Snipers should be back , unranked (social ?) . And More gametypes in ranked games , why can't we occasionally play Rocket in 4 v 4 slayer , why can't we occasionally play Tower 0 Power in BTB , is against your rules to play doubles , with CTF ? You guys have room for 2 FFA's but not SWAT ?

BTB will possibly remain unranked until their networking systems can figure out what hosts are better than others so they can work properly; as what was stated in lukems update. They will then increase the team numbers up to 8v8 instead of 6v6. Let go of Halo 2... Halo 3 is the new supremacy of awesomess. Quit your whining or don't play.

lukems, where's the banning-o-randomness? People are still throwing in the "ever so intellectual" phrase of (first)... Show them the attention they splirt to deserve.

When are WE gonna get to play matchamking bungie?

  • 09.22.2007 5:45 PM PDT

First off, wasn't there a newbie playlist where people above a certain level can't get into? It might be a good idea to put that in because best buy is offering free XBL Sept 25th-27(?)th and lots of new people will be in game ( Too bad I have work on the 26th and 27th :( ) . You want the new people's impressions to be good, and you don't want them getting owned the first game and never coming back.

Anyway, the playlists seem pretty good off-launch, but I have to agree with everyone else. BTB should be ranked, it's more fun that way. But then I guess Bungie wants to see how much people play BTB first, and then make it ranked later on. And where did Team Hardcore and Team Snipers go? Just wondering... Good update nonetheless though :)

Well that's my 2 cents.

WTF? Why isnt BTB ranked? The population is going to be huge so games shouldnt be an issue. Wow, now I am actually not pleased with something in Halo 3...

Ok i doubt you are going to take the time to read this but i am going to outline the flaws in your matchmaking.
1.Team Slayer-when you want to play team slayer it means you want to play slayer and thats it not shotguns and snipes or rockets thats stupid i gaurentee you will get many complaints about this. just a warning though
2.There is no hardcore. what the f*k were you thinking???????
3.FFA should be only slayer not oddball what is that?
4. You should add a 1v1 to your rank since there no connection host?
p.s i havet plyed it yet but from the videos gurdian looks nothing like lockout and is geometricaly not as good. thats what people liked about lockout not what you tried to do. also it dosent look like you have any small maps they all look big. are there even any FFA maps for mlg or not? theu all look unblanced. you should highly consider making a midship remakebut a real one not like lockouts.

i feel ur pain they did a -blam!- job

  • 09.22.2007 5:55 PM PDT

Ok no one else said anything about this. Only 5 people in rumble pit? WTF? Why? that's less than the beta! And in the beta if even 2 guys quit you spent half the game trying to find each other! Or some jackass would grab the sniper and pick people off until time ran out. Bad idea.

thats true and on top of that the maps are -blam!- huge. wtf bungie

  • 09.22.2007 6:01 PM PDT

!blam!

didnt u read it? Team Shotty Snipers

  • 09.22.2007 6:01 PM PDT

why isnt BTB ranked is my question. i dont see a reason why it shouldnt be. can someone message me a good reason there shouldnt be BTB ranked? A lot of people are going to be upset and angry because of this so hopefully it will become ranked soon cause i know i am . and team snipes too. Hopefully this is just so Bungie can get things straight and test ideas and stuff and they'll add them in the future. and as for not being able to hear ememy talk, it was nice to have it, but then what's the point of talking with your teammates if your enemies can hear you sometimes?

im more mad about not being able to hear your enemies voice chatter in ranked matches, that actual was useful at times to sneak into a base and overhear their plans...im hurt by this.
