Things could be worse, they could have Team Action Sack, lol....

And I'm glad that BTB is still unranked people who play it never play it seriously and just screw around betraying during objective games/suck at slayer...

Some of us are trying to avoid those leaks so we can actually see the game we've waited almost three years to play through. So quiet you.

Why the hell do rumble pit and lone wolves only have 6 and 5 people. Those games are so boring because you can never find anyone. And where is team snipers? You're killing me bungie.

Aww. BTB is still unranked. Oh well.


True: NEED. RANKED. BIG TEAM.

I've been playing 4 on 4 in Gears for a year straight now. I'm ready for some bigger games.

On second thought, what is with these playlists? I mean, I'll be playing campaign for a while and messing around in forge but why do they make it seem like I only have 1 friend. There are 3 playlists emphasizing the 2 player team-1 ranked and 2 unranked. I will probably be playing with groups of people from 4-10 at a time. This 2 player-team playlist emphasis is too high to make me want to play matchmaking.

All you guys complaining deserve to have your halo 3's revoked.

bungie have spent many years working hard to make this game possible and you guys have the nerve to complain?

you can still do everything you could before and more. if bungie decide to make a few changes then they can. its thier game made by them. so get over it.
you selfish -Blam!-ers all need to grow up.

I really dont understand why? Like why would you unrank it? Everything else it ranked but not big team I really dont get the point? what is the point of having btb unranked anyways? So turds can just play it and not get better? This def should of been like the the first day of halo 2....big team and clan

  • 09.23.2007 11:41 AM PDT

sigh, i hope they bring back the good matchmaking. Head to Head, Team Hardcore, ranked rumble pit. THose were the good old days, leave SWAT and all the other no shield noob games to the customs. YOU GOT ZOMBIES, LEAVE MATCHMAKING ALONE :D. ranked BTB would be nice too. That is why i stopped playing BTB, no longer ranked, so nobody trys. BRING IT BACK, I MISS GOOD MATCHMAKING!

wow bungie blows, im just going to sell my preorder ticket. No BTB is so dumb, you guys suck


Did you even read the update? It clearly says Big Team Battle


as an unranked playlist. Try lpaying BTb right now, i will tell you exactly what happens. You go in, get to step 2 and have all the little kids screaming their lungs out just to be little -blam!-s. Then step 4 comes anc then the game starts. Its going to be the worst host possible, you have atleast 4 elites on your team and 3 guests. The guests all start betraying yuo then they get booted making your game now 8v5, then the elite on your team betrays you for the sniper then quits out when he gets killed, making it 4v8, now you quit bvecause it is just a complete waste of time. Plus the fact Team Duals XTRA on Midship is NOT a BTB gametype


I see what you mean, It would be nice to have BTB ranked. Just play with youre friends and cool people you meet on live, if you do it unranked and press x to party up eventually you'll find a good group.....eventually. I'm sure the matchmaking will get changed.....a lot

Ya that def is true about the lil kids yelling............But usually when there is a ranked big team you usually dont get that....because everyone knows eachother and the kids that are yelling are bad and very low rank so they would never get high to playanyone

I can not wait. It is definitely sweet (missed multi-team) but where is the head-to-head. I understand about the cheating and all but it was one of the best playlists ever. Would be cool to see forge maps and tower of power / zombies somewhere. All in all a great update!

ermm...you never heard of custom games? oh wait of course not you have no friends....

matchmaking isnt everything. at least i can accept change unlike you. in fact its people like you that dont realise that halo is a game.
dont get me wrong i love ranked games- but ranked games are to determine skill. free for all? skill. tactical? skill. you see where im going with this?
bungie you have done a wonderful job and keep my full support.

EDIT:
also try to remember that bungie arent finished with matchmaking yet. over the next few weeks/months were bound to see many changes.

I really hope they add Team Snipers, it is definitely my favorite Halo 2 playlist.

Yea, if they don't add team snipers they're not going to achieve the kind of numbers they're expecting for online play. It's pretty much the only thing I've been playing.

they probably will re-add BTB and snipers ect but it would make sense not to really.
they are fun but there not really games to determine skill (well...i guess snipers kinda is). and thats what being ranked is about right? to determine your skill?
