THANK YOU GOD for ranked BTB!

  • 12.07.2007 6:12 PM PDT

Wow... nothing about spawns or the melee, probably the two biggest concerns with people in the forum right now. I won't even mention a custom search because I've given up on that...

I was wondering if we were ever going to get a sniper variant in Matchmaking? I Play Halo a lot and the weeks prior to the launch of Halo 3 my buddie asked me if I thought there would be a sniper variant, my reply was simple "It would ruin the game if it didn't. It's inconcievable." I love the game and play it constantly, but you can't even set up a custom match where you select for all players to start with a Beam Rifle and a Sniper Rifle. The beam rifle is all but phased out of Halo 3, thats dissapointing. Sure I used the Forge and created my own Sniper variant, but no-one I know wants to play custom games, their all focused into Matchmaking. I really hope you guys read and consider this because it is a big issue! Also if there is a Sniper variant, NO RADAR PLEASE!! Any fans who are reading this and would like for a Sniper Variant please SPEAK UP.

That is the worst excuse ever to create a ranked BTB playlist. Do you guys realize that it is neigh impossible to:

1) find and manage a team of up to 8 players in order to actually field a competitive advantage in a Big Team Battle and
2) keep a consistantly high population for two 16-player playlists that are essentially the same, except for ranked/social?

You are essentially splitting the playlist in half, for what reason again? Because of a matchmaking setting involving party sizes? Why not just change the setting for Big Team Battle, and keep it as one playlist?


To appease the masses, or to keep the current playlists full? The thing is that, if Bungie plays their cards right, they'll bring people back from playing Call of Duty 4 and you won't even notice the difference.

I, too, am waiting for word on this. I'm surprised Bungie hasn't said anything. I completely agree with you though: only snipers, no radar.

i feel the same, god i hate the new melee system, spawns are ok, but melee needs to be looked at in the worst of ways

I have to agree with some things on the BTB playlist. Yes it is going to split the masses, but after a while people will start coming back to halo 3 from other large team based games. After 2 or 3 weeks both playlists will see a dramatic increase in players. Also, In BTB it doesnt take a team of 8 to win. You and a buddy or two work together and become the MVP's. Focus your fire and take out major threats one at a time. Think of it as a fire team, If the rest of your team wants to cooperate more power to you. And if it doesnt work out, bungie can eliminate the least popular of the two, everyone who is a BTB fan can go to that one. On the subject of game fixes, as bungie said it is delicate. Ona chainge can destroy the entire game, granted I dont like it anymore than the rest of you, but getting mad about it doesnt make bungie fix it any faster. Lastly, I would like to say that I think a playlist with odd game types would be fun. Nothing but forge maps and stuff with custom games. I think it would be a good hopper playlist.

OMFG ALL CAPS!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY IS THERE NO TEAM SNIPERS PLAYLIST!!!???!11!?@@!?1 i think the only reason people play tactical is for the snipers... why cant you delete tactical and make snipers. THC will be sick though. i love hardcore

A -blam!- MEN(amen). i love snipers as much as you do. i think bungie is partially blind or something but just to anyone who mentions team snipers

If it can be imagined, then it exists.

Wow, best update in a while. It answered a lot of my questions. Now if only Bungie got rid of some anti-vehicle weapons on Standoff. How Bungie, am I supposed to own with a super-cool (yes I did just say super-cool) warthog while TWO spartan lasers and a rocketlauncher breathing down my neck (can anyone say "triple-penetration"). Oh well, guess I'll just have to adjust my tacticts...
