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.
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
