i must say i am very disapointed to see no team snipers on that list, that was my favorite play list next to hardcore.

"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."

and by the way HeadShot9192 (the author of the above statement) you need to grow up, that post was about the dumbest thing ive ever heard, the whole reason for these forums is for us to voice our opinions, not praise bungie non-stop, that is how they improve the game, by what the gaming majority thinks. That is why we kept playing halo 2 all these years, so why dont you just stfu buddy.

and one more thing Headshot, if you think snipers only takes "kinda" skill you might as well just just quit halo, snipers and hardcore are the 2 most skillful playlists in the game, why? because everybody has the same weapon where as in slayer whoever gets the good weapons first has control so maybe you should start thinking before you talk

At least some of the people have a decent argument against why BTB should be ranked again. Like I said, give them time, it will come.

And for those of you that haven't heard (and I got this from 1up.com) there are no clans in H3, so no clanmatches of course...which is a huge letdown

I'm loving reading how well this game is reviewed, and then see all the haters enraged asking why a game where aliens either scream like 13 year olds and the others just go GRAWRRRR got such high ratings.

Action is my location, so if you see dead bodys.. I've been there

Hmm... And yet there is still new to us right? Bungie said this is going to be special plus they read the ideas from people all around the world (even the stupiest one)...anyways, my point is we only know this right? There must be alot of things they doesn't tell us, Like i'm thinking if they going to allowed a space war in this game. I don't know, one thing tho everyone be prepeard for one hell of a special game here ! "This is Sparta !" sure taken by the movie 300. But yea, Master Chief is a spartan.

Note: Don't cut to conclusions, (I wont anyways).

I agree with four square you cowards that are whinning about BTB being ranked because you can't hack it in the 4v4 world. Fighting off two or more oppents at the same time scares you. You need to roll with a big crew you know that the bullies we all knew and loved growing up. Really that guy was nothing with out all his friends. Remember that time when you smashed he head agains the lockers in gym class where were his friends then???? I liken all you sniving about ranked BTB to that bully you think you are really good at this game, but you just can't hack it with us 4v4 gamers and BIg Team was your only home so that you could feel like you are good at Halo. WAKE UP!!!! This games as always been intended to be a 4v4 game you're lucky to have Big Team anything in matchmaking. I am sure however that bungie being the wonderful customer pleasing company that it is will make a ranked BTB for all you whinning lossers eventually.

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

  • 09.23.2007 2:22 PM PDT

I'm probably twice your age, punk!

Oh, and say hi to your Mom.

Great list. I'm glad there are social versions of some of the ranked games.

PLEASE consider adding team snipers and team SWAT

No settings with BR start... wow bungie, wow


After playing the beta you wont want to always start with BR the weapon is not very good a close to medium range anymore. The AR is the ultimate all around weapon now. It does suck at long range, but the last thing you want is to be stuck with a BR in any close range situation. The AR ROCKS!!!! Good job bungie bringing it back.

Hurray i am very happy at the return of multi team although i distinctly see a lack of team snipers. If anything that should be brought back. I wonder if it will be blatently obvious who has host in h3 as it was in h2 with the BR and the shotgun and sword.

Cant wait though halo 3 FTW.

"Lifes a game i play with it"

hay all lets get halo 3 and jump in to ranked rumble pit and never hear are enemy's talking. or lets play ranked BTB and only hear are team members and nevere hear the enemy. i ask all of you is there something wrong with that? not being able to here your enemy's talk or is it jest me!

it sounds like its going to be boring. i might fall asleep and die all the time because ill never know where my enemy is or if he/she is calling me names. yawn no fun i love a challenge.

They already explained why they couldn't do clans. Because Live doesn't support it!
I'm psyched for Halo 3 and all these people bashing it because they want certain gametypes are ruining it for me. Those gametypes listed in the How-To are TYPICAL GAMETYPES. That means those will be the MOST COMMON. Not ALL of them. There will be things like Team Snipes, just because it isn't listed in the Typical Gametypes list doesn't mean it won't be in Matchmaking Hoppers.

I know they made btb unranked because it was probably one of the least played gametypes but, that was still a huge part of the community that played it.. like myself... I think thats the only playlist I really played everyday. I stoped playing halo 2 because btb went unranked... its just not the same with all the guests and people quit all the time cause its unranked or don't even try.. There are a bunch of people on here that don't understand why we love BTB so much.. I've had many great times and memeorys form halo 2 in BTB... BRING IT BACK PLEASE! we need to start a pention in the fourms!

Do Not Speak For Others Unless You Are Them....
Forge is -blam!- Amazing...I cant wait to just play there for like a few hours waiting for my friends. I mean honestly you childern are starting to piss me off. Your probably not even 18 yet. So why are you able to play this...because you whine to your parents to get your way. Seriously though you just need to grow up and realize that you dont get exactly what you want all the time because its the truth...wake up.

Didn't they say somthing about possably makeing something on B Net for clans. I mean thats realy what we want. I dont care because we're a strong clan reguardless of play list clan list or whatever. What should be done is increase again the amount of friends you can have on live. That'd fix the problems....

Still no clan match :( Me dissapointed


Buncgie said there wouldn't be any more clans... This was because microsoft got wise to them, and realized that it was basically a 2nd freinds list. So there wont be any clans.

  • 09.23.2007 4:42 PM PDT

Why no head to head?!? I waited so long to finally have balanced 1v1 without the stupid combo, and yet there is no playlist. Doesn't Bungie see why head to head failed in Halo 2? It was because back in the day before you did anything about standbying, there was a 50% chance of getting host, so all the cheaters flocked to it. So you removed it for this reason, but didn't put it back after you fixed up standbying. And now apparently you just forgot about it in Halo 3. This is a huge slap in the face to the hardcore players.

Still no enemy voice in ranked playlists? I hated this in the beta and still do. What are we all 3 years old? I don't trash talk & never have but I respect other's right to do so. Plus it makes them easier targets. How else am I gonna know that loudmouth enemy dork #27 is sneaking up on me when my back is turned? There should be a mute enemy team option for the sensitive types who can't take it.

All this nonsense about the new social aspects of matchmaking is ridiculous if you can only be social with the clique that happens to be your team.
