Stop complaining people. They'll add things. They'll change things. It's like it's never enough for some of you....they go out and make the greatest game known to mankind and you still complain. There's so many features in Halo 3, you won't even have time to worry about BTB not being ranked until 2 months from now. Just chill and everything will work out for the best.

My only complaint is social slayer rockets, the btb unranked seems awesome, objectives will become more important in unranked games because of exp. points. I like that multi-team is back, but it sucks that it's not teams of 3. I also have a bad feeling that we may never get btb ranked, it NEVER surpassed the bottom 3 spots in H2 mm, dwindled on for 3 years(one of my personal favorites though and I would have played it in H3) we can hope, but don't hold your breath.

im sorry but you are wrong. I and my team already ahd plans for playing BTb as our team of 8 on September 25th but now bungie ruined that. Now its going to suck because no ranked BTB = boredom, because it removes an option for us. No Offense but Bungie is HORRIBLE at Marketing. It just so happens im taking a class on Marketing right now and veery time we talk about the negative side of marketing with businessed i think of bungie because they over hype their product, overprice their product, dont satisfy the customer and many more. I shoudl be in charge of halo3 god dammit

CAPTURE THE FLAG

No ranked Big Team again? This is the main reason that I quit H2 multiplayer. I fully understand why Bungie cut down the original BTB Skirmish/Slayer at the end of H2's life cycle, but why not resurrect it for H3? There's going to be something like a gazillion people playing matchmaking in Halo3, and I imagine that at least some of those people would be interested in a large, competitive playlist. My most favorite experiences have been in BTB Skirmish, and the original Big Team Battle before that...but hell, i won't bother with the details anymore. Check my other posts if you're interested in rant material.

Anyway, my point is I won't be among the millions of people out there playing Halo3 at launch without my ranked Big Team. I'll be picking up H3 used this time around.

Because some people got copies early, the press got early copies, and many people pirated it. Also this weekend Bungie is turning on the Halo 3 features of the site.

  • 09.22.2007 6:36 PM PDT

in halo 3 team hardcore would be pointless unless you want to play it with carbines
the br is no where close to what it was in h2. and that is for the better
i'v always wanted more games for guests, now me and my brother can play more than just team training or rumble training together(boring)

but no team snipers.... i hope this is a joke bungie

Dude, the Halo Matchmaking system is only the brillant in the video game world. You just pick a game type, Like Team Slayer and hit go. The system does the rest. It matches you with players who are of a similar skill level. Now the first couple of days will be a little rocky for even matching because there are some of us who have played halo since it's divine birth into our homes and our hearts, but after a few weeks its starts to get better and then a month later your rock'in heart pounding by the seat of your pants wins or losses and that my friend is the beauty of the Halo matchmaking system. Anyone claiming to be anything like Halo's system.... Not to name any names or anything **cough** (Shadowrun) **cough** does in no way compare. It is the man reason why I keep coming back to the game. Dont get me wrong the game is awsome, but I thought Gears was awsome to. I didn't however stick with that game because the matchmaking WAS LAME!!!!!!!!!!!!! and no fun at all. If Bungie has been able to improve matchmaking from a system that is was already perfect (except for cheaters but that is not thier fault) then lukems you will bow down to the halo gods and thank them for the matchmaking.

I have a question.

When I like CTF on High Ground with 8 vs 8 so much that I only want to play multiplayer matches off this type. Is it possible to search for your a custom game in a playermatch?

And is it now possible to join peoples there hosteds custom matches. Because in Halo 2 you had to invite your friends. And do you know how low the chance is that enough off your friends are online. The chance that they have Halo 3 (hmm kinda big) the chance they want to play that map. the chance they want to play that gametyp. The chance they want to play with those weapons/vehicles. And the chance thet are online. Thats kinda low. So it takes a lot of luck to get your game full.

So if you guys on bungie make something like this.

Multiplayer- ranked/player match

When you go player match you can select "search custom match", "search for matchmaking player match", "host custom match".

And when you chose "search custom match"

You can filter for
Map
Gametyp
Max and Min players
starting weapon
secondary weapon
primary light vehicle
secundaire light vehicle
primary havy vehicle
secundaire havy vehicle
granetes on/off
(connection quality/ping)

So in this way I can just play my favorit match with my friends as a guest.

Thank you Bungie!

I'm kindoff disapointed that BTB isnt ranked, but Team tactical and Team Objective seem to make up for it. At least I'll still be getting XP points in BTB, but I'm still going to miss that number next to my name...

Sounds good so far. I, personally, very pleased that htere will be no Team rockets, it fils me with glee! Its insane to think that in just this much time Halo 3 will finally be out and my life will be one step closer to being complete.

Maybe I didn't make this clear enough: I'm still very interested in Halo3. It has fantastic features and I know that it will be a great game. I mean, the saved films/Forge ViDoc made me soil myself just a little bit.

But you know what? This is called voting with my money. I didn't buy the last H2 map pack because they took away ranked Big Team. I played a few rounds in the other playlists, and I even played some Big Team Battle after the maps were released for free. I'm still dying to play Halo3, matchmaking and campaign! But I refuse to chip in to the launch profits with such an easily-implemented feature missing. H3's not going anywhere for a few years, what's a few months to wait for them to make multiplayer better?

Sorry to offend and I know that you are taking a marketing class and everything, but your and idiot do they teach you about the people your marketing to. Bungie knows what they have and they tell us a little bit at a time. The hype comes from us froathing at the mouth to get thier product. I am sorry but you can have an opinion about it when you market a multi-billion dollar product. Not just take a 101 course on it college it's called real world experience which they have and you don't. Also, I for one have heard the hype and been very excited about all that Halo has to offer and they have exceed my expectations every time, and when you see 90,000 players all playing Halo at the same time (not just in one day, but AT THE SAME TIME) then I would say there are pleny of people who would agree with me.

If its not on topic and it isn't nice, then just don't post it. * Anti-Flamer

We are definitely missing a snipers playlist
