Subject: Ranked Big Team Battle is Live in Halo 3

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.

nope, but would be awesome :D

Bungie, please give us Hornets and Scorpions in Matchmaking !!

YAY FINALLY BTB RANKED. Now they only have to fix the problem of -blam!- maps. Anybody ever realize how awesome H2 BTB maps were until you played H3?

  • 02.03.2008 10:48 AM PDT

SWEET!
i played a round last night and it was badarse! it was still a little laggy, and i think it would be a little nicer if i didnt have to hift the d-pad to talk, but other than that AMAZING!

Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.

RBT is a fail. The same stupid people that frequent unranked BTB have moved to ranked and now its impossible to find a RBT game with mature people, including that it doesn't lag, you would have to get into the 20s or 30s in RBT before you've went up a bracket from all the idiots. Bungie, please somehow find a way to let the game be able to detect if a teamkill was intentional or just make booting available at 1 teamkill, I would love to play RBT but all the jerkoffs make it suck. Like seriously since you are most likely to be playing with immature kids every round you would never be able to rank up beause you would just keep losing.

How's the ranked BTB laggy and the social BTB ok?

Personally I like the RBT, the only things that I would suggest have probably already been touched on.

On Spartan levels, Hornets and Scorpions need to be added. If your going to give us Banshees and Wraiths on Covies then we need the others on the Spartan levels.

Construct should be added as a map for RBT and Highground should be considered as well. Only having Sandtrap, Valhalla and Last Resort get old quickly.

They should make the secondary weapon an SMG, so it is more like the BTB in halo 2 which I love.

Whoever ever thought BTB would work ranked - is an idiot!! seriously, BTB was made for all out carnage fun, ranking it has took it a step too far and killed it!!

everybody seems to be avoiding it because theres just no way you can get very far at all. face it BTB sucks and you lot made a mistake thier, instead you should have made some kind of ranked rocket race without indestructable vehicles and maybe only 1 player (per team) insted of 2 (so a max of about 8)

I HAVE A COOL MONGOOSE RACE MAP AND IM SURE THAT'D WORK!

Thats a crap idea. Besides, wasnt team rocket race made for "all out carnage fun"? Wouldnt making that a ranked playlist do the same thing you just described?
My only complaint about BTB is anything covies. Otherwise the battle rifle is the perfect choice for primary weapon.

*thumbs down* why would you replace tactical with a nonsense game. I like BTB but it shouldnt be ranked its not a game type of skill, just a giant massacre of dead bodies everywhere which is why it should stay social. Wheres the form for this kinda stuff anyway i havent seen anything on here about getting rid of tactical for RBTB. If you wanted to attract more gamers bring back the good games like social doubles and team/social SWAT. It should be more like Halo 2 where you add games on, not add games then get rid of others. Ive seen so much stuff in here about bringing back team swat an social doubles an add infection its unbelievable, but i see nothing about RBTB and you get rid of a good game Team Tactical. You guys should pay more attention to what gamers want and not what you want.

w00t !$!

I experienced considerable lag in ALL five games I played in this last night. My team lost a slayer game by 70, because it was so laggy a headshot was nearly impossible. If my lag continues, it'll be back to COD4 for me. Sad day.

  • 02.05.2008 12:44 PM PDT

Thanks Bungie for doing this. Also this is good for ranked clan battles.

  • 02.05.2008 2:48 PM PDT

I do enjoy BTB, and am glad it is ranked. The lag gets quite old though. Can anyone comment on the possibility of SWAT maybe coming to Halo 3. Ranked or Social, I don't care. Everyone I have talked to online would love to see it return, I know I would. And how about seeing some of the Halo 2 maps making it to Halo 3 in the future?

I've played several games of RBT and I enjoy it, but the lagging really does need to be worked out.
