I would play RBTB more if there were separate playlists for Big Team Slayer and Big Team Objective games. When I'm in the mood for Slayer, I absolutely hate getting Objective games. They've separated the two gametypes for smaller team games (Social Skirmish vs. Social Slayer, Team Objective vs. Team Slayer) so wouldn't it make sense to separate them in Big Team too?

The double EXP is nice, but the lag is also a big deterring factor. You can be the best player in the world but if you're experiencing the lag that I've had lately (even in other playlists like Doubles and Slayer) then don't count on having any fun whatsoever.

Big Team would be more fun if the lag on every game didnt suck. Plus half the time you play, a big portion of your team either quits because of game type or just lags out. Also big team would be more fun if you got to play on smaller levels. I really enjoyed playing big team on halo 2 because you got lockout map alot. Sandtrap and Vahalla over and over again gets freakn old quick.

i hate this team objective now has less people than RBTB but they are going to get rid of RBTB what sense does that make

bungies probably just coming up with an excuse to put in -blam!- snipers or something

The only real reason I don't play Ranked Big Team (or any big team for that matter) is the incredible amount of lag you experience during gameplay. The variants aren't so bad, nor is the concept, but the amount of deaths caused by lag that leave your mouth agape as you shout "But I shot him in the face!!!" has in my circles been nicknamed a "Lag Based Phenomenon" or LBF for short. If Bungie would just do something about hosting games instead of letting one xbox with a cable connection host 16 players, big team wouldn't be half bad.

i dont care about big team but what i do care about is that fact that halo as a natural cheat in it some might see it some dont. how bout the times when your beating a team pretty good and they appear behind you or near you. WTF bungie it makes me not want to even play halo anymore. You had it in halo 2 and now its in halo 3?

'16 days! Thats nearly two weeks!'

I know its been said alot already, but the reason I personally don't play Ranked Big Team is because I always experience LAG in that playlist. Don't get me wrong though, I love Big Team Battle and like to play Social Big Team (it doesn't seem to LAG as much for me) and i loved Big Team Battle in Halo 2 also, its a great playlist but the LAG does just ruin the experiance.

Prehaps the idea of making a Big Team Objective and Big Team Slayer is a good one (I would play it ) but maybe ruducing the players to reduce LAG would be a good idea. Maybe 6 vs 6? But then that would lessen the idea of BIG TEAM battle I suppose... its a tricky one.

I think that while the new perks of RBTB are bringing a bunch of people in from unranked, I know a bunch of people that have decided to forsake RBTB until its fate has been decided. I mean getting your rank up is hard enough because you have more people to be possible dead weight so many people dont want to take longer time to rank up less levels in a playlist that may or may not even exist in two months.

Personally i love RBTB and play it anytime i have a group of 5 or more.

Social BTB has around two to three times as many players than Ranked BTB.

Many people play Social because their friends and family don't have Xbox LIVE Gold Memberships. If only people would be able to get unique Gamertags RBTB could do somewhat better on a population increase.

Nothing's perfect, but that's one of the big problems with the RBTB population levels that I can see. Ranked Playlists are great, but unlike Social Playlists, Ranked games don't allow guests to play.
