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.
well said

You ruined my favourite game you B******s!!!!

There are only two things I hate in the world. People intolerant of other peoples cultures, and the Dutch


Don't hate my hands just cause they smell of cabbage.

Well this update has me to believe that halo will no longer consist of 1-2-3 perfectly understandable sequences/ sequels.

I assume it's going to be like the terribly confusing (though still fun) half life series.
Half life 2, then HL2 episode 1? yes it's a sequel and technically still not one in the same aspect. Lovely people at Valve also plays this terrible game of "unsaid truths".

Still I'm as giddy as a schoolgirl for "Halo 3 - epilogue 1" ^_^

...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...


You might be right though.

Way to ruin matchmaking. All I mainly played was BTB and rocket race.

Please consider enlisting in the UNSC's Black Water Ops Program. Led by Recon and featured multiple time in Bungie's Community Spotlight. We have over 4000 members in just over 9 months and we are growing everyday. I hope to see at BWO!

Wow Shishka...

I come home from a weekend out of town, turn on my xbox, and have 22 messages about the coming removal of rocket race. You can't be serious. I thought this was one of your favorite game types. It is also the only game type not based on killing which makes it fun. It's the only game I've played since January besides the 3 times grifball has shown up. Putting it in multi-team is just plain stupid and you know it. It'll just get vetoed out.

I'm burning my GALO 3 disc on September 15th and not play my xbox again until a cool game like Gears comes out. You can count on me never buying a Bungie product again if you remove rocket race.

I'm sure there are plenty of other rocket racers out there with the same feelings.

Thanks for ruining my senior year of college.

Isn't that what Halo is about, killing? Besides, you'll still have rocket race in multi-team.

Rocket Race has a very dedicated cult following. In my opinion there is no reason to get rid of anything, you should only be adding to the experience. It's not like there is a sea of confusing gamtypes that are bogging down the experience. Social Gametypes like RR and BTB should remain with only revisions to the Ranked playlist.

After all, it's social for a reason and that's to just have fun.


HERE HERE! Rocket Race is one of the few unique gametypes that Bungie has created...and now sadly it looks like it will be retired. Why not keep Rocket Race but randomly vary the weapons, like rockets, snipers or brute shots? Or how about ranked Grifball?!? or better yet combine Rocket Race with Grifball. 8 person lone wolves and no shield doors?...oh joy....Bungie you _are_ very creative....yeah. What will you think of next? 10 person lone wolves and taking away the lifts on Construct?

Why does Team Doubles have to "require" the Legendary content. I thought the matchmaking was smart enough to not pick map if all the players didn't have the content? Is this some passive aggressive ploy to try to get more people to buy the maps? The people who are going to buy the maps have done so already, you're only harming your community at this point by trying to force the issue.

Bungie, you should definitely bring back both Ranked and Social BTB. We are having a battle every night against one another (around level 50 in BTB). The competition is stiff and their are about 10-15 of the same teams that play every night at this level which makes it great. Everyone at this level is competing for the best ranked BTB team/player.

The strategy that is seen in ranked BTB games is not even comparable to any other playlist. Everything else is a free for all and pure chaos. I would like for a few playlists to contain tactics instead of the mindset of 7-10 yr olds charging at one another. Which is not seen in the higher levels of ranked BTB. I would like for someone at bungie to enter one of these games (rank 40-50) and see if their is not any strategy envolved.

You need at least one gametype that does not envolve chaos and actual tactics... Ranked BTB (level 40-50)
