I wish this update was one sentence long. One awesome, announcement filled sentence. It's not.


You had me going there.

Subject: Bungie Weekly Update: 6/13/08 (Ranked Big Team Battle)

The mind is a blank canvas, so why aren't you painting anything?

I have been playing Halo 3 since it came out. I have played 3,200+ games, 1,900+ of those games have been ranked. One of the main reasons why Ranked Big Team Battle has such a low amount of players, other than it taking forever to find a match (which you guys sped up to only 4 minutes, compared to the 6 minutes it used to take), is that there isn't enough actual BATTLE in Big Team BATTLE. What I mean by this is that it's almost always anything, BUT SLAYER. It's always CTF, Assault, VIP, and Territories (NO ONE LIKES TERRITORIES!!! Not ONCE, since Halo 3 came out, have I ever been in a Ranked Big Team Battle where a single person wanted to play TERRITORIES, VIP, or ASSAULT). If you could only make Ranked Big Team Battle, just SLAYER you would have a big increase in the amount of players. You don't even have to get rid of the other game types, Just make TERRITORIES, or VIP, or ASSAULT, or CTF the first choice in Ranked Big Team Battle. When/if the players decide they don't want to play the first choice, just make the second game type slayer. By doing this you might just be able to save Ranked Big Team Battle.

~Thank You.

I played RBTB as much as I could, and had a lot of really great games (sure beat the uneven Social ones...) BUT my Xbox Live subscription is now Xbox Dead...and I won't be able to play until late July.

Hopefully RBTB will survive... =(

Nice update, lolololol some ppl got pwned... as usual! :P Too bad that there wasn't any further info about Smuggler - and honestly I don't really care for RBTB, apparently neither does anyone else; the only reason for playing it is just to get a better KD spread in ranked or to just rack up the kills, otherwise social BTB is fine.

Head over to our website and sign up to help out in keeping RBTB alive. Halo has always been a game of more than just "Four on the floor." which one of u can actually say that ud prefer 4v4 for the rest of ur H3 experience?

I'm curious on what Bungie is going to do at PAX. For it being my first time going to PAX, I'm even more excited to go. I can't wait for PAX to get here. Just a little over 76 days from this post until PAX arrives.

Just got done reading the update, and I have to say...That was incredibly mean to make fun of that kid (one with the banning message) He sounded genuinely concerned and that was pretty pathetic to use him just to get a laugh....Not cool Bungie, not cool

hi guys good update. im really concerned about RBTB and i really wish people would get on and start playing more plz bungie plz dont take it off, even tho numbers are low, me and my cuzins and brothers get together and have madness halo fests 12 hour RBTB once a month me and the rest of my group would really appreciate if u guys didnt take ii off. Also im currently reading the Halo novels The fall of r reach. The Flood, etc. I just had a question about the other spartans and if they have AI with them as well such as the way chief has cortana, in the book it never really does go into any detail about the AI with other spartans but i personally would like to kno if they do have AI. Thx guys bungie u rock.

Ok, the reason that RBTB is going to go the way of the dodo, is that you lied to us. You told us all the restrictions were going to be off, but they aren't. You also said it would be faster to find a match. It is...kind of. Last night it took me 15 mins to find a match, so my group said screw it and went and played social. I love RBTB, but double exp or no, it's just not worth playing if you have a group of more that 2 or 3 because you can never find a match, even now.
