Subject: Bungie Weekly Update: 8/22/08

These changes look awesome. I didn't think that social BTB would ever go though. DLC FFA...that will be epic.

Awesome update! First page please?

Edit: Damn, like 2 seconds too late. Anyway, the September changes sound awesome and every one sounds like Bungie took input from the community and changed things for the better. I'm curious to see how pistol secondary will work out in TS.

Salty tears moisten my keyboard over the passing of my dear friend, Big Team Social.

I was pleasantly surprised with this week's update. :)

Looks like we're in for one hell of a half month. Beware the ides of September! Reading this makes me want to sell my soul for a ticket to PAX. D:

Yeah... anyway I was bummed for all of 2 seconds about BTS retiring until I read DLC Big Team taking it's place. Big Team Slayer on Avalanche is going to be AWESOME.

cries on keyboard, so long Social BTB....

Luke/Shiska...etc...

1st. I understand the removal of BTB but why head to head? It was introduced not that long ago seems wrong to kill it off so quickly. :(

2nd Is there any chance we will be seeing the Community game types in the September update? The games I am referring to are game like Grifball and infection among other community games.

Oooooh! Awesome! I want a T-Shirt! Are you guys going to be throwing them or shooting them at people with cannons like they do at Hockey Games?

Social BTB seemed like a pretty populated playlist. I always saw 9-10k people in there at a time. Oh well.

Great update. Lone Wolves might be fun now.

I 100% agree with Sketch. This is a great update. I'm excited about 8 players on Lone Wolves.

Will there be any new weapons or vehicles in the future that will be added into the game,something like a map pack, only a weapon pack etc????

I want one BTB, I'm not sure if the DLC BTB will have sandtrap and valhalla though (or standoff heavy) ... but H2H was really flawed in my opinion (but I sucked at it to)

Very good update except for the fact Social Bigteam was my favorite. Why exactly did you take it out?


That's what i'm wondering as well, that's about the only playlist I played.

  • 08.22.2008 3:34 PM PDT

Great update! I'm looking forward to the new map variants.

Read the post, and then post about what you read.

Or get blacklisted.


Well...Where can i get those T-shirts? Walmart?

Sand Tarp sounds great. having some kid on your team drive your elephant away in CTF is really annoying.

And adding the magnum as secondary seems like a good idea, hopefully it can help make dual wielding more useful or bring more opportunities to use it. Not to mention it's basically no where on any of the maps, or so useless I don't have their locations known.

The changes seem really good.

  • 08.22.2008 3:34 PM PDT

I think it's a great idea to can BTB in both ranked and social and thereby divert more folks toward the DLC playlists. It's been rough recently finding a large population in the latter, and heading toward RBTB or SBTB either got you a long wait time or choppiness on the one hand, or a bunch of shrieking 5-year olds and betrayals up the wazoo on the other hand.

Looking forward to Ranked Squad Battle. I just pray it has vehicles. No Gauss hog? <sigh> I can live with that. But please give us some vroom-vrooms.

Will 8 in Lone Wolves make Steppin Razor easier or harder to come by?
