awesome that BTB is now ranked. you guys need to come up with more ranked games for parties bigger than 4. you have a ton of matchmade games that require 4 players. with the exception of slayer and doubles none of the rest have more than 10K people playing. how bout some ranked 5 v 5 or 6 v 6!!

once again bungie does something completely mind boggling. for what god forsaken reason would they incorporate the beam rifle in some of the valhal maps??

no one likes or uses the stupid beam. they take out the preferred sniper and replace it with the disliked one.


it boggles my freaking mind.

Ranked Big Team Battle is great, but BR's as Primary Weapon?? No V.I.P.? Come On!!!! Bungie you're killing me.

  • 02.01.2008 2:16 PM PDT

Thanks, Bungie! The only problem is: I don't have the new maps (I don't have a hard drive, so I can't get them), so can the search search for games that aren't in the new maps, or does it search for games hosted on all of the maps in that playlist?

sorry man i don't mean to be a jerk or anything and i guess you can say all your kill were legit but you were hardly in the middle of the battlefield probably sitting back and taking all of the kills

Its pointless to use a br on btb with the current br spread.

ok, bungie, i love you and the games you make, but this is rediculous. in halo 2 what were the top played things?? hardcore, slayer, and snipes. hmmm......what do we have in h3....hardcore, slayer......*gasp* NO SNIPES!!!! *ding dong* you think that would ring a bell in your heads to put a ranked or unranked sniper playlist in with everything else?? i guess were all just more focused on playing with newbs in btb.

Great idea! This morning me and 6 of my friends got together and played until we were all 8's. Its really fun, but it lags really, really bad.

I would like to comment on some problems with this playlist. Firstly for some reason you keep getting matched up with people and then it resets over and over. The guys in my party just left because we were sitting there for 10+ minutes getting matched and then reset.

Also its impossible to get a game on the new maps because of the logical yet illogical system you have for how the playlist works.

  • 02.02.2008 12:03 AM PDT

Silence fills the empty grave, now that I have gone. But my mind is not at rest, for questions linger on. Now I will ask, and you will answer.

Finally !! Thank you Bungie :D

only one question, is it possible to play BTB ranked without having those new maps ?? and why is it so laggy !!! it's driving me crazy

Well Bungie, you've done it. You have taken out the game that took the most skill, team tacitial. RBTB is great, don't get me wrong, but it is a little boring and please do us all a favor, TAKE OUT LAST RESORT AND TERRITORIES!!! Anyway you did a great job with the rest of the game.

Sincerly,

i love halo and i have grown addicted to big team battle but i don't like covies it takes no skill all people do is whore the vehicles and you took the laser out so its nearly impossible to win when one team gets the vehicles first

I noticed that ranked BTB and ranked Team Hardcore have not been added to the 'Halo 3: How to' matchmaking description list. You might add them in for all the new Halo junkies comin' aboard.

Can't wait to get in some ranked BTB!!!

I think that mostly everything is great with this playlist. One thing I've noticed is that the majority of people hate VIP. Also, do you think we could give big team snipers a shot? On huge maps like Sandtrap.

  • 02.02.2008 1:57 PM PDT

Great idea!

Bad thing'sare most of the time i dont get bigteamslayer and people use the ghost and wraith too often and in normal valhalla all there used to be was warthog and banshee both easy to kill but on covies 4 ghost? and 2 wariths? and no laser or missle pod? and make sniper a play list!!!!! and battle rifles?? NO battle rifles!!!
