This is a great idea! Not just zombies around Halloween, but the idea of special playlists for limited times. It keeps things fresh without wearing them out. Now I know what I'm doing after work tomorrow.........

Just remember... I keep it real...

I hope we have special game hoppers on all major days, international ones too.

Cool, but not. I wish we had more permanent playlists like this that focused on one gametype. Specifically I think a lot of people would enjoy a ctf playlist.

I agree that there should be more playlists that focused in on one gametype. CTF I am not so sure about, but let's bring back the team snipers games from the Halo 2 playlist. GOing into Team Slayer Matches and praying for a shotty snipes game is getting old. Also I want to get more shots in with my Beam Rifle. Though I can see the problem with the unlimited ammo issue from the shotty snipes games.

Wow, so you have no problem implementing a whole new playlist but you can't muster up the time to even fix the existing crappy playlists? Awesome. Oh wait, I forgot, you need to "gather more data" before you can determine that Oddball FFA isn't fun.


I find FFA Oddball fun. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean that others don't like it. They're doing what they can.

Here's my guess as to what's going on. Getting information on Halo 3 online, to be as accurate as possible to fix playlists and find people who are cheating. Working on new maps, and map variants. Working on at least a few new armor permutations. Then also doing the Holiday things, to help keep people happy whilst working on the other things.

They're probably working on at least one other game as well.

This is still a new game, let there be sufficient feedback before they act. Without enough info, you can make big mistakes. Also, with this game still being so new, let them have a break if they so wish. You're here, so you must like their work. Now, cut them some slack. I find immature and annoying when people complain about something right away. This is still early enough to be considered right away. Back off, and let them do their work. Pressuring and bugging them will not make things happen any faster.

I know it's not my place to say any of this, but I like Halo 3 and Bungie. If it even gets a few people to stop saying the same things over and over, and complaining when they already know that some people aren't happy, then I will have feel that I've done some good. I don't think that they are god-like or anything, but I do like what has been achieved. I personally am happy with what we have right now, and when more comes along, I'd like it to be of good quality, and not just new stuff that's crap. I really believe that is what they are trying to do. Not just make some maps in a week, have the textures be whatever, and have those maps be bland and unfair, maybe even full of glitches. The new ones will be creative, debugged, balanced, and what many will expect from Bungie (quality-wise).

To All of Bungie, Keep up the good work. I cannot wait to see what you are working on, be put into play, but I guess I'll have to.

To Complainers out there (Including TheBigShow), Stop whining. Get over yourselves and try being constructive. You most likely have a better chance of helping things along by voicing your opinions and/or problems in a more professional way, and being more descriptive. Also, appreciate what there is, or you might as well stop playing (at least until new content is out).

If all the MP 'issues' were quick-fixes, then I'm sure they'd be fixed by now... Bungie is aware of the problems and is working on them, but in the meantime kudos to them for keeping MP interesting with new playlist hoppers.

Make it a social playlist, I like being one of the only people with the Katana! That brings me to another point, add the Katana to the Elites, its bad enough no one uses them, then when you get the katana the elite can't wear it!

AND if its ranked and you can bring 3 friends, let the BOOSTING begin! Your gunna see level 50's all day long, they'll just let there friends get mad killz on em as zombies.

awesome!

I think infection is really cool; and was a little bummed that it didn't make its way into the usual playlist (juggernaut too). I'm looking forward to this :)

So why add an Infection playlist that is ranked and counts for achievments? You can join with 3 friends, who let you kill them, why don't you just call this 27 hours of achievment getting? Looks like my wife finally gets the last two...

Camping like a 'mouth breather'

Psalm 32:10

Many are the woes of the wicked,
but the LORD's unfailing love
surrounds the man who trusts in him.

I agree, I love zombies. I wish they would include this as a playlist, even though additions to matchmaking are rare.
