Thank you Bungie, for all of your pain-eye blistering-dedication to bringing this experience to our living rooms. This high caliber of matchmaking will keep all of us occupied and happy for years to come from a studio who loves it's fans. Of all this coverage and community leading, the new bar from good enough to best to infinite is well on it's way on September 25th, and will reach.

Thank you & nice read
- Fritzster

I can't wait for the first Community inspired hopper. Fun times ahead. Though, I've still got work on and perfect my Overlord Territories variant first. Thank you Bungie for the Forge; It's like Gary's Mod all over again. :)

Why are people saying they already hate this, hate that, and a little on the side?

We have the right to discuss this selected topic.

Stating Facts is another thing, when we have not played Halo 3 matchmaking yet. So don't.

ok let me clear some things up here. yes, snipers is missing and swat is missing. im quite ashmaed about that, but, bungie said themselves. their servers need time to get used to all of the playlists,matchmaking,players,etc..., and i dont feel you need to single out a game(yeah youre still hyped about it like the rest of us) just because of something like that. does anyone here play the game somewhat not only for multiplayer but also for the campaign? to end the god of a trilogy that has been "The Halo"? i sure has hell didnt pre-order/buy halo 3 just for the multiplayer goodness. i did it so that i could mend an incomplete path in my life. and that would be the halo storyline. when i get halo 3 at 12:00a.m. on the 25th i will be sacrificing $11.50 an hour for 5 days(i work sat.) just for this moment. and it wont be to play multiplayer, it will be to "Finish The Fight" then mash it up on multiplayer. im done now. go on my children, go on

I love the tactical playlist, sounds sweet. I think there is one thing missing though... BTB Skrimish. Cmon Bungie, it only had low ratings in Halo 2 because of the lag and people only went in when they had 8 people in their party (which rarely happens). Give it another shot, there's gonna be thousands more players playing Halo 3 than have ever played Halo 2. Another thing is that Team Snipers is missing. I like the shotty snipers idea, but Team Snipes deserves its own playlist. It was a very succesful playlist that should be put into Halo 3. Although this is just my opinion, i hope you integrate playlists that everyone can enjoy.

Edit: One more thing i missed, no BR starts? c'mon Bungie you just completely took out all of the competiton from Halo 3. I don't feel like talking much about this, but just know that removing Hardcore was a terrible decision.

Hopefully the playlist will change once they "figure out who the good hosts are".

Did anyone else notice this?

The focus is on round based asymmetric gametypes, like One Flag CTF and Territories.

What happened to Symmetric gametypes, like CTF Classic, or Neutral Flag? Are there not going to be any ranked versions of those games anymore?

5. Quitting: Only in moderation
There are plenty of totally valid reasons to quit. For example, if you're on fire. Or, if your mother is on fire. Or, even if your dog is setting your mother on fire. However, these things come with statutes of limitations. For quitting, if you do it so often that we recognize it as bad behavior, you're risking the wrath of the Banhammer. - Shishka

guys! calm down! like Bungie said, they need time for their servers to get used to everything. on top of that, you should be HIGHLY THANKFUL you get to Finish the Fight! there will most likely be an update for Matchmaking. while you wait, why dont you mess around in Forge or something???

Where is Team Snipers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sure Bungie will put it up some time after matchmaking takes off. I hope...I like to snipe too...Whether I'm good at it or not.

In addition, enemy player voice is disabled in game in Ranked Playlists. This is because these playlists are about the contest, and not about being Chatty Mc Chatterson. Some people love the art of trash talking above all else—there is a home for you, but it isn’t a Ranked Playlist. The scoreboard does all of the trash talking here.

Matchmaking just became a lot more appealing.
Hopefully this means I'll have a much more pleasant experience while trying to unlock the armor permutations (since I'll be forced to even touch matchmaking for those). Matchmaking was the bane of my Halo 2 existence. Maybe now things will be much different in Halo 3.

Can't wait for Halo 3, but damn they ruined BTB, I hate this new "BTB" I miss the old one, big maps, objective play, big teams... None of this unranked slayer bull crap like we have on Halo 2 now.

after all the -blam!- i went thru in the past 4 days BTB BETTER be ranked soon or on September 25th. bungie is terrible at customer service, its obvious but they could atleast fix their mistakes to look better because gith now h3 is looking just like h2, and they are going to let it die like they did to halo2
