Oh....boy.....I'm...just so excited I can't contain myself....oh wait, no I can. So Big Team Battles still just have Three maps.....and we still have no maps that have tanks or prowlers or flame grenades, etc etc. Oh yea, great update, I'm really excited.


All you need is Rocket Race.

No, it's not all I need. I like big team battles, and I hate that there are so few maps, and so many territories and vip matches. I played for 2 hours the other night and I think I might have played 1 slayer.

And, I ran 4 different threads with polls with multiple ideas for new maps that would make the game so much better, and it will be readily ignored, I'm sure.

I guess refreshers don't address the beat down and/or spawning issues.. look forward to a future update that addresses those...

TBH, I"ve gotten used to the "simultaneous" (in MAJOR quote marks) beatdown, but the spawning is out of control. If you can edit that in the Forge, that HAS to be a quick fix...

EDIT: Didn't want to be completely negative.. the Rocket Race addition should be interesting, and Guardian's addition is welcome.

I wonder if they fixed the melee and shotgun problems........

  • 11.13.2007 1:03 PM PDT

No mention of the problems with big team battle. No adding it to ranked play. No additional maps or adding new vehicles to them. No reducing the amount of territories and vip matches that pop up, and increasing the amount of slayer matches.

Well, I wish I could be playing right now, but no. My brother had to forget the AV cord at my moms place, 4 hours away. Weeeee. No swords on lonewolves for Dan, not today anyway. I'll see what I can do.

By the way, LoneWolves, ORGASMIC. Except maybe when I lose.....

Don't kid yourself, they don't really care what you want. Or, they'd have already fixed the respawn issue, they'd have infection playlists (if there's a medal for it, you should have a way to earn it), they would have more than 3 maps on Big Team Battle in Social and they'd add it to Ranked, They would make a way to search for a custom gametype on their system other than the pystick's custom game finder on the boards, there would be fire bombs, and hornets and tanks and fuel rod cannons and Gauss Hogs and all of the other weapons and vehicles in the game available to use in matchmaking.

But they don't really care. They'll string you along with promises of updates and new things to try to keep you playing Halo 3 and away from other games. They should have had things like this fixed before they even came out with the game.

No one is as stupid as I appear.

Thank you SO much for Rocket Race!!

No one can see why they don't have the other half of the weapons and vehicles in the game available on Multiplayer or why there are only 3 Big Team Battle maps, and no infection playlist in ranked and social even though there are medals for them available either.....but so far no changes.

I'm just asking for a complete game. Unless you have valid reasons as to why the game isn't missing things like what I've mentioned, then don't bother with pointless posts like that.

Sword play in LoneWolves is about as -blam!-, if not more, than those ridiculous Hayabasu Helmets. Bring on SWAT!!!!!!!

The game has been out for just over 1 month and I have liked all the updates so far, there is only a few more things to address and a ranked BTB is not one of them it is best as a social playlist.

Here's what NEEDED to be fixed and wasn't. (sorry to hear that you don't realize what all is actually missing from the game still)

There are Medals for infection, but there are no games to earn them on still

There are only 3 maps for Big Team Battle, and it's only in Social still

Respawns suck still

A much easier way to fix gametypes is to have a second veto available. Too many times in Big Team Battle games I get Vip veto it and get territories, or vice versa. A second veto would fix the game type issues.

There are no Fuel Rods, Hornets, Tanks, Fire Bombs, Plasma Turrets, Prowlers, etc in the games still. Why have all of those weapons and vehicles in the game but not in matchmaking.

Still no custom games search built into the game. Just the tiny bandaid on the bigger issue, by having the pystic's custom game finder thing.
