Just 5 people in Rumble Pit, wow thats gonna be fun on Halo 3 maps. they are all fairely big, theres gonna be like 3 maps to play on
Chalk me up as another that's really rather annoyed there is no ranked BTB. Considering what BTB has become in Halo2 this is a HUGE letdown.Hopefully by the time I'm done with Campaign this horrendous oversite will have been rectified, but I doubt it.
yeah BTB good, its a shame. 1 day 2 hrs 10 mins and 7 seconds!!!!!!!!11!!!!for +12 GMT anyways (which is me)cant *FREAKIN* waitkeep up the good work bungie; YOU ARE MY HERO!!!!!!!
I thought there was a ZOMBIES game type????
Posted by: Bumpyjimbob99I thought there was a ZOMBIES game type????There is, it's called Infection. But it looks like you only get to play it in Custom Games.Social Matchmaking will be my home for the time being. Lovin' it.
Yeah I read stats when halo2 reached 4 billion games that SWAT was the second most played(16.76%) and Team Snipers was the fourth (9.66%).Where are they?I suppose if they come out after awhile thats fine but they'll be sorely missed.
I would like to make a desperate plea for SWAT to be added as soon as is feasible. Not just Team SWAT though, and not in the social/unranked playlists. I've always found SWAT to provide the most intense and adrenaline pumping play found in all of Halo 2's matchmaking, and its nature is different enough from traditional game play that it demands a ranking system to ensure fair (and challenging) play for all. I have no doubt that what has already been provided will be orders of magnitude more than enough to entertain me for years, but SWAT is the cherry on top that makes the whole sundae come together. Please Bungie, hear my prayer.
Yeah but really SWAT is just Call Of Duty on halo maps.....Was a nice addition when Halo 2's maps became old but looks to me like Bungie want people to play Halo 3 as it was ment to be. Dont reckon you'll get SWAT for a year or so.I'd have to vote yes for a ranked BTB....though not at the expense of the unranked gametype. BTB is the first thing guests at my place wanna play.All the playlists will probably change pretty quick anyway......remember when Halo 2 launched with NO team slayer......? That lasted all of a month.
Where the hell is swat!!!!!!!

Dont reckon you'll get SWAT for a year or so.That's an excellent point, actually. SWAT doesn't leave any room for many of the amazing new things that have been added to Halo 3 which I'm sure Bungie wants to show off, as well they should. Still, I really hope it doesn't take a year to get it.
nice update, thanks for all that info, though I'll be finishing the fight before I go into any matchmaking. the playlists look great, I can't wait, Till Halo 3.
BTB is unranked????? That is BS. 2 v 2 blows. Campaign and Forge then off to COD4.
Spottedkitty hit it head on. No ranked BTB playlist is a BIG let down. The biggest next to the lack of clan support. I know the little Timmies of the world only play team slayer and I guess it is important to cater to that annoying population ...(thank god for the mute option!) Why have these fantastic huge maps and tons of vehicles for just 4 v 4 ranked games.Pretty weenie.[Edited on 09.23.2007 5:21 AM PDT]
Thanks mr sleesstak. It could've been quite simply rectified as well. If the unranked was just until the hosting records sorted themselves out (understandable to a degree) I wouldn't be quite as annoyed. As it is however they haven't said that, just that they'll update it to 8v8. They seem to prefer quantity over quality which is what the H2 BTB has become. Sure you get matched up faster (though in all honesty, I haven't noticed too much of a difference from when I was hovering around the high 20s) the *quality* of the game you get has gone down the toilet. I can only hope the new custom game matchmaking can make up for the shortfall.
thnx for messing up btb
All the goods!!!
why the hell are the social skirmish gametypes NOT included in the ranked objective playlist? I like playing ranked games but a lot of the stuff I want to play is social only.... why?
If enemy chat is turned off, is that permanent or just a default setting that can be changed?[Edited on 09.23.2007 6:51 AM PDT]
Which one is similar to team HC
Clan Orions SpartansOur Website: www.orionsspartans.tk
Still no clan match :( Me dissapointed
My friend, you would not tell with ſuch high zeſt To children ardent for ſome deſperate glory,The old Lie: Dulce et decorum eſtPro patria mori.
I can forsee the lack of a three-man team playlist as being a problem for my cabal of friends. We often get just three of us online and it's rarely fun to take a risk with getting a random fourth man in.
Yea but i dnt think HC is gunna be a popular playlist in halo 3 i just think they should make BTB ranked n put oddball n CTF classic in the SKIRMISH THINGY thingy n then it willl be an amazing playlist
I dont care what anyone else thinks. Im pleased with the matchmaking playlists. 8 man ffa is just a frag fest on thecrappiest player and doesnt really require a lot of skill.Infection is prolly hard to keep score, its more a social thing, for friends in custom games.Keep up the good work and forward thinking bungie. ignore all the criticisim.
infection is so unique to halo comon just put it in the playlists ranked or unranked.......:(
IDD , MAKE BTB RANKED ! BTB has made Halo 2 experience so much better , i was obsessed by it for a year , the excietment of running a team of 8 and succesfully end a tactic is godlike !! making it unranked ruins all the fun and just asks for noobs to just go in there to see allot of ppl and just try and kill ppl. I REALLY hope that you will make this ranked again after time , or like you once did , ranked and unranked, But it aint Halo withouth a good old ranked BTB 8v8.
