I want a bungie staff member to answer this question.

WHY was big team social removed. I know a lot of people didn't really play Ranked Big Team, but I know tons of people that loved and played big team social with their friends. So I just want a logical answer on why big team social was removed.

No big team battles??? what are we supposed to do with 8 players who want to be on the same team?

  • 08.24.2008 7:48 PM PDT

I see that you guys are also going to include Pit Stop. I don't think you guys mentioned that in your update in much detail. What does it mean when you say inaccessible spawn hives? Does that mean no more spawn traps?

Things they are a changin'

Looking forward to September!!

F Major Seventh Chord

While I'm slightly sad that big team will be almost completely wiped (smart putting it into DLC, though), I'm liking most of the changes I'm seeing.

Finally a reason to look forward to September.

If you look at this stuff....go to a park or something else active

now, since you guys will be at comic con next week, does that mean you will not be attending E for All Expo?

You make me laugh. I love comments like this. I'll be sad if they're not there... *weep*

Not even Chuck Norris can beat the San Jose Sharks.

Can you please not make the Legendary Map Pack required for Team Doubles? The Legendary Map Pack costs a lot and I can't afford it. If you must require it, can you make the map pack for free or reduce the price?

As much as I love you Bungie Im sorry to say that this is the WORST UPDATE EVER.

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

Mappacks are patches, don't deny that.

  • 08.24.2008 11:02 PM PDT

New playlist looks WONDEFUL. I will miss RBTB, but a 6v6 variant is always welcome!

Keep the up the great work people. Playing H3 is enough to make this a summer for us fans.

The guy who does the stuff, with the things, and goes to the place where the stuff happens and the things merge together and explode. Satisfied?

well this is just stupid, head to head was awesome, the way to be able to see how good you are when your only focused on one opponent, when you have nobody else watching your back, nobody watching your opponents back either. And I spent more time on it than other ranked matches because I'm naturally better 1v1, over the history of it, (not to brag, just to show how awesome the playlist was, and how good i was at it) I bet:
1 general, who got really annoyed
2 connels
several cmdr's
and other people with lesser rank (i remember achievements, not slaying lessers)
and countless other who quit seconds before the end of the game, that was the only bad thing, people just quit too much, I think Bungie should of just made it more of a bad thing to quit, like taking 3 skill off their skill lv for the playlist, so, please put it back.

Great update but PLEASE PLEASE bungie take objective out of team doubles. Everything else is great XP cold storage for doubles is great and squad instead of RBTB is better but please take objective out of doubles. Everyone that i have played with doesnt like it and in matchmaking it is always vetoed.
