now im actually thinking about selling my halo3 on ebay.


Please do, because based on your attitude, i'm pretty sure that you've got a really high pitched voice and no pubic hair. That being said, stick to Viva Pinata little boy, before mommy slaps some sense into you and sits you in the corner for a halfer or so.

And if you sell it on Ebay, please mention in your listing that you were the whiney female dog from teh Bungie forums so we can run up the price to a large Mil and not pay you.

Why is everybody asking about Team Hardcore?! How can they make such a thing if MLG has not even made playlists or rules for Halo 3 that are the most competitive.....

How the hell is Big Team Battle not ranked!?
just because its' popularity died down after several YEARS in Halo 2 does not mean it will be underplayed in Halo 3.
BTB was by far my most played playlist, and keeping it social only is going to increase the numbers of quitters and griefers by a massive amount. I'm actually pissed! Internet pissed!

so bungie says they are going to crack down on cheating and hav a harsh punishment right. well lets all pray that punishment is a kick to the nuts, or something along those lines, so cheaters DON'T cheat and ruin the game for the rest of us.

a kick to the nuts... quote it!

Yeah I definitely want to see a infection playlist, even if unranked because it is one of my most anticipated gametypes. It would be awesome fun to play.

And yeah I hope we get ranked BTB, but either way its going to be great.

A mythic member but I speak my mind to much.

CAPTURE THE FLAG

Posted by: I Like Poop
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

Fine, but can you honestly tell me that none of the dedicated players left BTB? Or that BTB games are just as fun now as they used to be when they were ranked? How many games have you played where three, four, or more people quit right at the beginning of a match because it wasn't the gametype/map/whatever they wanted? The "New BTB" matches that I've played lack the edge and soul that the old ranked Big Team Battle and BTB Skirmish had, where it was a rush and a big f****** deal just to get the flag out of the base. Now people just quit, betray, or don't even try. I say, bring me back the days where the best BTB matches ended in a 0-0 tie; not because everyone quit, but because the match was balanced and just that damn good. So the playlist gurus have been on probation in my eyes, especially after this update; at this point, I don't really see why BTB isn't being given a real chance with all the influx of new players. If this changes in the future, then my bad!

But hey, if you know some people that are interested in BTB customs, then by all means please hook me up. Otherwise, you won't have to worry about seeing this idiot around in matchmaking.

If failure is not an option, then why is there so much of it?

No Team Swat? That sucks. Not a huge deal, though. I can't wait, less than 46 hours to game time....

Excellent and highly-sought update!!!!! Lone Wolves (a.k.a. ranked FFA), Team Tactical, and (of course) the highly-anticipated return of BTB once again are the highest on my "To do" list!!!!! ;-D -Charlie. P.S.Posted by: da acklete

Love everything you did with the playlist.

  • 09.22.2007 11:45 PM PDT

Never eat yellow snow, unless of course, you spilled your Mt. Dew!

Multi-Team is back! Kind of, but I'll take it. Also looking forward to that Eliminatio in Team Tactical. A few nice twists so we'll see how it all goes. Absolutely loving this update stuff every single day. Every day a new surprise!

I fear I'm too far back in the post, but I'll respond anyway. These playlists look good, but I'd really like to see a playlist for any size team, so that if I'm online and only two of my buddies are with me, I can join a playlist where a team size of 3 will work (this was where we would usually play the old Multi-team). I guess with these playlists, 3 is the only weird number for a team - 4 is obviously handled, 5 works in Social Slayer or Social Skirmish, and 6, 7, or 8 go into Big Team.

So I guess what I'm saying is... can Multiteam be increased back to teams of 3? Or maybe have a 3v3v3 playlist?

this is a good grouping of playlists. letting everyone try some new playlists and also keeping some of the favorites from Halo 2. I am looking forward to Team Tactical. it will bring a brand new twist to the game. I am also looking foward to the VIP playlist. cant wait to see what bungie will tell us tomorrow.

TEAM SNIPERS.... Better be introduced shortly. Sooo many people love playing just snipers.

  • 09.23.2007 12:58 AM PDT

What? No team snipers and team swat??? That are really bad news! these were my most played playlists :(

But i like that there is an unranked team slayer too, because i often wanted to play team slayer with my guests. same for team doubles.

And i think rumble pit with 8 players is better but i don´t know didn´t played it yet. so if bungie means it´s better... we´ll see

  • 09.23.2007 1:06 AM PDT

what the hell? why isn't there free speak in ranked games? that's just silly!

I agree. It is a very stupid move from Bungie to remove BTB from ranked playlists. Now opposing team will start quitting as soon as their flag is stolen for the first time. Nobody cares if you lose just Exp when there is no rank.

Please Bungie, put competitive BTB back to ranked playlist where it belongs. We have been eagerly waiting for update in BTB after social playlist-hell and now you´re totally screwing this for us. Not everybody wants to play slayer 4v4. Ranked BTB is tactical and requires a lot of teamwork. Now you are just ruining a perfectly good gamemode.

Please, think it over again?
