guys! calm down! like Bungie said, they need time for their servers to get used to everything. on top of that, 2) you should be HIGHLY THANKFUL you get to Finish the Fight! there will most likely be an update for Matchmaking. while you wait, 12) why dont you mess around in Forge or something???


1) Kill Yourself, Never Say That Again

2) We dont want to mess around in Forge because we are not turds. I did not spend $66 on halo3 so that i can move fusion cores wherever i want, i paid that money so i can play big Team Battle, now im actually thinking about selling my halo3 on ebay.

Then be a -blam!- and do that, no one is stopping you, sell it to someone who actually cares about all the hard work they have put into this and how greatful they will be to play something so amazing, all you stupid stuck up, whiney kids need to get over it! dont complain, do it in a more constructive manor to let bungie know how you feel...and then they may actually listen! You guys have no inclination of how hard those people worked on this! Give them a break and they will do their best to meet your expectations!!!

Thank you so much Bungie for this amazing game! Im sure you guys did a great job and I cant wait

Did noone read that it say Typical game types include, meaning that games not listed and gametypes not listen will be available too?

Hmmm......I didn't see Snipers or Swat. I think that those 2 game variants were the best out of the lot of them. I hope they get them in there soon.

Honestly, there are probably a bunch of noobs working for bungie, as you can tell by the playlist.

Asymmetrical maps / game types?
5 people in FFA?
No focus on competitive play?

Wow bungie, you went from awesome to straight out -blam!-.

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


338,000+ Halo 2 players in the last 24 hours....you have an interesting definition of the word die...and by the way, if you're taking marketing...you really should check your spelling. Anybody who knows about marketing or business in general knows that details (like spelling) make all the difference. BTB will be ranked if there's enough people playing it. Bungie has nothing to gain from withholding a playlist from people who want to play that playlist. Ranked BTB was removed in Halo 2 because there weren't enough players to keep it as a functioning playlist, meaning that people could actually find a game in that playlist. If a playlist isn't being used, the few players that want to use it will have a very difficult time finding a fair, fun game, and that's what matchmaking is all about. Most of the people in here that are complaining are presenting no good evidence to support their claims other than something to the effect of "...this is stupid...Bungie sucks...what the blam are they thinking..." If you guys want Bungie to take you seriously, then this is not the way to get it done. They have much better things to do than listen to pointless whining, and I don't mean to offend anyone, but that's what all this stuff amounts to, by and large. The reality is the people who have made this game, and Halo 2, know what they're doing, and there's over a quarter of a million unique players in the last day alone in Halo 2 to prove that. Also, the majority of the Halo 2 players don't post in these forums, and Bungie's job is to keep as many people happy as possibe, not just those of us who post in the forums. We may care more, yes, but that doesn't mean we're the only votes that count. The number of people still playing speaks to the fact that Bungie knows how to do Matchmaking. I wonder about the new matchmaking system too, but I'm not gonna knock it until I've tried it.

you have a good point. I personally really want BTB to be ranked but i also remember trying to find a decent game when it was ranked in H2. Not only that but you pretty much needed a full party to enjoy it when you could get a game

For all those that couldn't figure this out, of course there isn't going to be a team hardcore, because team hardcore focused on the competitive MLG community, but is no competitive community for Halo 3. Heck, for all you know, MLG will decide to use the default Assault Rifle for first spawn weapon, or maybe the carbine. I'm sure a hardcore playlist is on the way, but Bungie and MLG need to find out what the hardcore matches will be.

Fact is, bungie knows what they are doing. They stated they needed time to get used to the networking w-e in BTB unranked. I agree with this guy completely, if you don't like it, sell you're -blam!- copy on ebay and let the rest of us play the game without having to hear your dumb ass on live complaining how you would rather be playing ranked big team. It's scum like you that us that still play H2 everyday just as much as we did when it first came out try to avoid. The only complaint I have about the new playlists is no Snipers, which I don't care, I'll probably be having more fun in Team Tactics/slayer, Lone wolves and multi team (oh and forge which you obviously haven't looked into, wtg) to care about straight up snipers.

And the guy that mentioned earlier that people left because of BTB becoming unranked in H2, there are still dedicated players out there, no one cares if you leave, that's one less idiot I have to play against

im disappointed that you can't trash talk no more on ranked, i loved getting the other team riled up. but man i can't wait to play multi-team again!!! they never should have taken it off halo 2

My GT: ShadowzKiller
Check out my website for guides, lessons, and account leveling.
100% Legit Five Star General. No boosting, no cheating, just determination and skill. F/A for GB 09' and MLG '09.
Level 50 in LW, TS, TO, TD, RBTB, SQUAD, SWAT, MLG, Snipers, Legendary Brawl, Mythic Brawl & VDay. 48 in H2H and Living Dead.

Everything looks awesome! But, I don't like how ranked rumble pit is only five. That is far to little on most maps, because most of the time, if someone will gain the lead by 3+, it is quite hard to come back (not in a fun way), because you spend so much time searching, rather than fighting. As a somewhat of veteran of Halo 2, I know how FFA is somewhat still a "kill-steal" fest, I still think that 5 is just way to little. Social rumble pit should be 8. Don't flame me, just because I criticize one thing. I sure hope I am not the only one who feels this way, then again, I LOVE FFA.

  • 09.22.2007 9:41 PM PDT

Because I never had time for a quote.

The question is... what role will guests play in all this? I know that there shouldnt be guests in the "Ranked" lists, but what about the social ones, shouldn't there be some sort of third game set list for people who have guests, because after all, players with guests can bring a lot of disadvantages to their team. They usually have a smaller screen, and some of them tend not to care about winning or losing, while I understand that if you truly care about winning, you could go into ranked games, what if you wanted to have fun while not being betrayed by your teammates?
Are guests even allowed onto xbox live at all? Thats just a question that's on my mind.

PERFECT!!! I LOVE the variety of Social Playlists. In H2 I was always frustrated when I would want to just play straight-up slayer but would go into training and get some CTF game.

Thank you BUNGIE!
