Great picture.

YES! RBTB is in danger. Please people, let it go down. It needs to be overhauled. How it match-makes isn't the only problem. Maps, gametypes, percentage of occurence, all need to be reworked.

*Will not play Ranked Big Team Battle for the month of June*

Go play some Social!

If you must take RBTB away put the HEAVY varient in BTB social. It's awesome.


Yeah, bungie should put the Heavy varient in BTB social because of the scorpion in Avalanche. They could also use it in Team Slayer and Team Objective. The 2 flag heavy game would be used in team objective. In the Team Slayer playlist, it would just be normal team slayer on the heavy map varients.

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Nice stuff

I love seeing cheaters get what they deserve

HALO RULES!!!!!

Please don't cancel BTB ranked. I make an effort every time I play Halo 3 to play at least 2 games in BTB ranked. I've seen the numbers go from 2000+ to now 5000+ How many people do you need to make it enough that you don't cancel? I've enjoyed BTB since Halo 2. I have over 250 games in Halo 2 alone. I've seen only about 1600+ people playing the lengenday objective hopper. I don't know I guess I'm Biased for BTB. I hope you don't cancel it ever. Bungie is the Greatest game company ever. Dominate the World!!!!!!

Just remember... I keep it real...

Seriously, get rid of Ranked BTB. Who wanted that anyway. It is such a pointless play list.

I like this update. There's not much more I can say on the update as a whole, but I did find it enjoyable. Though, regarding the screenshot and RBTB:

- That screenshot is seriously awesome. I can see Brute Shots and Sniper Rifles there in the background, but everything else sorta blends together. Can anyone inform me of what else was used there?

- I'll be really sad if RBTB gets canned. I find the playlist really fun to play with friends in the party, I just don't play it much because I've been trying to reach 45 in Lone Wolves. If need be, I'll hold off my Brigadiership for the sake of RBTB.

R.I.P. Halo 2 11/9/04-4/15/10
If you havn't played Halo 2 online than you are missing so much. Plus if you have played a good amount of Halo 2 online, I might have a better chance of listening to anything you say.

A lot of people. Oh and btw my Ranked BTB level is higher than your highest skill achieved so i wouldnt say its pointless.

Save the RBTB!

  • 06.14.2008 11:43 AM PDT

"Seems to me you should spend less time on that article and more time working on that novel you've been working on!!!"

They could save it by getting rid of the warthog on Standoff. Then I will for sure, 100% positively play that playlist again. As long as there is even a .1 % chance I'll get put in that gametype, I won't be playing BTB ranked. End of story, I already said my spew on this in the last update, and don't feel like repeating myself.

  • 06.14.2008 2:31 PM PDT

awesome update....................................................... ...............

  • 06.14.2008 7:55 PM PDT

Yeah I'm cool with "Heavy" variants if RBTB really, really, really has to go. Maybe some more "big hitting" vehicles (Scorpion, Hornet...wow UNSC actually kicks butt) seen in more of the big maps, and not just Avalanche...idk just hoping.

I've been desperately trying to get locked into BTB games all weekend and have only been able to get into about 4. I don't want to see it go at all, but something needs to be done about these game finding times and glitches.

One time, there were 14 people (yellow boxes) all sitting there ready to start the game, and instead of the system locking in the game, it spend 2 more minutes trying to find the last two people, until finally it disbanded the group completely and restarted the search. I'm not sure it is lack of interest in the BTB playlist, or if the matchmaking code is somehow flawed.

I've tried to Play RBTB, in what was one of the laggiest Games of my life. for some reason, RBTB is always like this, so I hope it is removed quickly and replaced with something that doesn't suck.

The screenshot of the week is amazing! I mean, the update was great, but I am really impressed by Predator5791's work.
