So for the 6 on 6 new playlist, will it play the humungous maps that are dumb like old RBTB (Sandtrap, Valhalla, Standoff etc...) or will it be fun maps like Pit, Construct, maybe guardian (although that would be pretty cramped)

"oh bother" said Winne The Pooh as he chambered another round.

I love the update! and 8 player lone wolves is going to be great!, as will squad battle! however I am slightly disappointed that there will be less shwatguns in team swat as for less magnums? hooray, I hate magnums..

huh?
No more BTB, but it was so fun to pick on noobs. Seems like almost all bad things in this update. Exceptions are the DLC FFA, that thing with 6 people, and some of those map changes.

We are the Knights Who Say Ni. We are the keepers of the sacred words, Ni, Peng, and Neewhom.

WTF!! Killing Big Team ranked and social in one go??? This is just plain ridiculous. Big Team has always been one of the staple playlists of Halo. All through Halo 2 and 3 it has been nearly all I played. Bungie fix this crap now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why did u have to retire rocket race and the big team stuff i love that stuff rocket race is all i did for the first like 45 exp and i love doing ranked big team stuff and unranked cause u can make really cool vids like this CrashLanding and will there be any more Infection? cause i really like infection and how people have fun killing their own TeamMates so yeah and u should consider this Shishka try out a 12 or 9 player version of rocket race but with warthogs instead cause me and my friend would really love to see that! now i probably won't look here again so just message me i'll get it i check my messages everyday. thnx for your time.

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

i have question-with "Sand Tarp" will elephants be forgeable? like picked up/deleted in forge?
if so- great! ive always wanted to make a map with the elephants together forged into a base,

Im very glad to hear that halo 3 is going into improving the old maps even more! especially epitaph, i cant wait for Epilouge, that will be great, especially for doubles if it is in that playlist, too much camping in the old epitaph, with the shield doors, and Boundless, ive always prayed to get rid of the big basement shield door-#1 camping spot right there, #2 pit sword room #3 guardian sniper tower (but the tower isnt too hard to take control over)

Yeah, I'm not sure why you guys would get rid of Social Big Team. It always had plenty of players, and it's really the only one I play since I don't particularly like the DLC, and I love the chaos that comes with the Big Teams. But really..... What's gonna happen to Sandtrap and Valhalla, where they're just..... well, BORING when not on Big Team? You made huge maps, and now you're pretty much saying, "Well, it was fun while it lasted, but because you guys love these maps so much, they go "Bye-Bye!". Shieldless Maps I can handle, and maybe even enjoy, but Now my favorite maps are constrained to a small number of people unless I get a Custom game going. Not very easy to find that many people, and even if you do, it doesn't count towards anything, really.


Seriously, your biggest competitor (As far as I can tell) is Call of Duty 4, and even THEY have a "Big Team" choice!.... Though, their maps are much smaller and don't NEED to have Big Teams.

Team Snipers should be included on the playlists both Social and Ranked. I hate waiting 4 - 6 weeks for it to come back. :(

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit It.

BTB, we will miss you, but ultimately, I guess Bungie knows best.

Also, notice that Bungie said : "There will be no insertion of Campaign objects, enemies or friendlies via the Forge as folks have speculated. " Emphasis on the word FORGE. This could possibly mean that Bungie is making a whole new editor for Halo, but personally, I doubt it, so i'm not going to go chasing after some idea that they are, and end up looking like a pillock. And remember people - Do you really think Bungie would work on these projects for so long if all they were going to give us was crap? I think not.

Good update, as always Bungie =]

I hope this means that the legendary maps will be made free now. Team doubles is all i play and a part of the game i bought so to not to be able to play that because i dont have an update doesnt seem right at all............Bungie???

  • 08.26.2008 8:34 AM PDT

remember neon pink -blam!- slap if i hate you.......or just for fun

No! not BTB that was my favorite to play in.

I like the thought of the new versions of old maps and was wondering if any other maps will get an update to change the gameplay of the map and if there is going to be other updates i have an idea for one how about valhalla but in winter time. The ground and trees could have snow on them and the warthogs,mongooses and scorpions could be like those on avalanche.

I, like many others ,am looking forward to the most part of the update.

Now dlc objective is gonna be all laggy and no ones gonna wanna play that (you just murdered it imo) . Still nothing has been done about crazy king and swords in lonewolves think how dumb thats gonna be with 8 people now. What the hell is up with taking head to head out, hello its olny two people that should at least be left in social there's no reason for that. Alot of people are mad about rocket race being taken out, my question is why would you take that out if that what people like. EPIC...fail
