A video game hurt you? ok then...you need help,I'm sorry to bash you but if it hurts you that much then seriously leave haha.

I'm only saying I'm dissapointed. There's no reason to be a douche about it.

I do not understand the retirement of Head to Head. I have a 32 in it and appreciated it a lot. Doubles was my favorite because it has the less amount of people on a team. Then Head to Head came out, I read about it, played it and quickly loved it. Taking out Head to Head for me is a big deal. I am not saying this in a forcing or "I hate you" tone of voice. I just want to know "Why?"

seems kinda dumb taking out big team social and putting it in DLC. kind of a cheap way for microsoft to maek more money on points b/c u will have to buy the maps if u wanna play big team social now. idk i find the update nice in some ways but in others a way for microsoft to make more money off points and the map packs. i mean ya the map packs r awesome but some people jsut want to play social slayer with some guests but now they cant unless they spend the extra money on the maps. i think u shouldnt need the legendary map pack for social slayer in my opinion. well thanx anyway it is a great update jsut a few problems i have with it concerning other ppl who dont have the map packs and dont wanna buy them but now have to to play social slayer

I need to find where Lukems shops for his flame suits... He is impervious to fire it seems...

Loved the update, it was more than what I was hoping for... Cryptic messages from bungie studios hurts my head...

The flaming has begun on the forums, sad to see the community in such a dissatisfied uproar. New Playlists sound better than ever. As sad as saying farewell to BTS is, I can't help but think of all the laggy games i've every played... I'm pumped for the new game variants as well. Sounds like Shishka has really been working hard on them.

Thank you for silencing the myths of AI as well... I was starting to wonder if anything would ever quell the rebellion of the members.. although it seems like another has begun.

I have a lot of faith in the new update, it sounds great.

I am no longer CS Alpha Gamer. I am now Logic Ronin.

I am heartbroken over the loss of head to head. It had a small community, but it really helped me hone my H3 skills, and I had high hopes on hitting 45 on it since I've gotten stuck at 42 on Lone Wolves. Why Bungie, oh why take away my new favorite hopper? :-(

I Like it. But will be Snowbound and Epitaph still be available now Eptilongue (or something like that) and Boundless are revealed? And when they be usable?

Thanks, great updates, now are the Overkill, TripleKill and Steppin' Razor Achievemants much easier. Otherwise you almost have to kill everyone at the same time. Killing Frenzy will be harder..

I'll admit, I'm very interested in the new playlist update. There's going to be a lot of serious changes. I can't wait.

Looking for a good clan? If you are come join our clan, Second Division. Send me a message.

BOOOOOOOOOO!
Update sounds soooo lame...
Why do you seriously need to keep deleting playlist!!?? OMG
You guys have more then enough population

wtf is Squad Battle??? thats the only playlist that interest me.
and why is there no team sniping?

YOU NEED MORE VARIETY!!! And whats the point of lvling up on a certain playlist when you are just going to delete it later??

If you guys care about populations on h3 so much, then why dont you take a quick gander at h2 playlist and see how the majority of playlist you cant even get a match....theres what 3,000 people on a time tops for h2?? BTB Ranked ussually had around the same number.

Just please dont kill h3...

Very fulfilling update. Now, a few concerns of mine. And go ahead, take them as complaints, i could care less about your opinion of my opinion. Sandtrap heavy was one of the best map varients i have ever experiences on BTB. Now that it is going to be BTB DLC, will we not see that? I do not see 6v6 on Sandtrap Heavy being very exciting. And i have a really strong feeling that Title Update 2 = AU2. I'm really looking forward to this play list update, except for a few concerns. I will definitely get more nervous every day up until the 18th.
Thanks bungie.

Look great. But why is Social Big Team gone? There are no players in Social Skirmish (I hate it) So I have to play BTB for some Skirmish action. And now no more BTB!

I just wish that the announcement of PAX swag had taken place a little sooner so that I would have had time to wire some money to one of the people who are going there. I want one of those t-shirts darn it.

I don't have any rights. So I play nice.

When I get my new computer (in a week or so), I'm going to lay Halo 3 on the shelf for a looong time, Team Fortress 2 at least doesn't take money for patches. And every month or so, they release an update more than twice the size of what AU2 is.
And then I haven't even counted the new maps and game modes.


I am sorry Bungie, but you have not done a good thing for your community in ages that is comparable to what Valve has done...

Hated by many, confronted by none.

The changes to Team Doubles and Team SWAT are simply awesome!!1

And I'm happy about Pit Stop too, it's good that people (read: cowards) no longer can camp up in the "hives" with Rocket and Snipers =D

Two things I'm wondering/worrying about though:

1) Does this mean that Valhalla and Sandtrap are no longer available for 8 vs. 8? Since they aren't DLC, but still is very much Big Team Battle... If that's the case it's bad, very bad!

2) Does this mean that we won't be able to play Ghost Town in Slayer? Because Team Slayer is a symmetrical gametype, right? If it does, that too is very bad... Ghost Town is in my opinion an almost pure Slayer map, I don't think it works with Objective at all, at least not if it isn't "Slayer-based" Objective (that is, King of the Hill and V.I.P., as opposed to Capture the Flag and Assault).

Bungie takes money for patches...? Cool, I've never noticed...

Yep, we still need Team Snipers as a playlist. And the BR as normal weapon should be nice. And how about and Infection playlist of something? and Juggernaut? lets take a look for an DoubleExpWeekend...

I missed where they said they were going to fix that,can you show me the quote exactly?(*Not sarcasm I miss a lot when I read/skim.*)


Never mind I found it "Added Pit Stop – The Pit with inaccessible spawn hives. Added alongside default map variant. "

shieldless maps can be downloaded and played afterwards right?


When you've played a map, you'll have it on your HD. Just go to custom games, choose Recent Maps, and hit X on the map you want to keep to save it to your box.


If we put your Boundless map on our File Share's, will we get banned for harbouring modded content

I can understand the idea of removing ranked big team and personally i think 6v6 will be better but can i ask:

1. Will the scoring be the same?
2. Will there still be heavy map variants?

The rest of the updates to the playlists seem good, but lone wolves i doubt'll be so good with 8 people and i don't see why you removed head to head as there was no difficulty finding games at any level.



Also, the map updates are exactly what we wanted, thank you.
