Just wonderinas an active player are the new maps gonna be free?

  • 08.27.2008 8:41 AM PDT

s3x on the flag

Overall I agree with the playlist changes. Analysis follows:

Lone Wolves - increased player count means more in-game action, which is usually a good thing. I'm sure this change was tested extensively and the experience was deemed 'better'.

Team Objective - not much of a change.

Team Doubles - dedicated doublers are sure to enjoy the decrease in objective gametype weightings. Not as thrilled will they be with the necessity to now buy the Legendary mappack, but if you want to play these playlists it's time to suck it up and purchase. Seriously, if you have an XBox 360, Halo3 disc, Live subscription, and broadband internet connection I guarantee you have seven dollars to spend on the mappack. Get a job, any job, and work for one hour. You will have seven dollars.

Ranked Big Team Battle - so long Ranked BTB, your condition improved to 'stable' but not 'good'. We had some good times together (when you weren't lagging that is).

Squad Battle - hopeful that this playlist preserves most of the BTB 'feel' while negating the occasional lagginess of BTB.

Big Team Social - this is the one change I really can't fathom. The population was healthy and it looks like it had many devotees. The only real reason I can see for the change was to try and sell more Legendary mappacks. Of course Bungie's 'publisher' may have had a hand in this......

Rocket Race - interesting gametype, but got old quickly for me. It still survives in multi-team...

Multi Team - may want to make the 'rocket race' gametype unvetoable(new made up word of the day!) to satisfy the dedicated rocket racers out there.

DLC FFA - cool.

DLC Big Team - it will be good to get some big team on Avalanche at last. Valhalla and Sandtrap should still show up from time to time......

Team SWAT - w/e.

Head to Head - good riddance. Most boring and tedious playlist ever.

Also the news that Bungie is not done with Halo3 yet is beyond awesomez.......

  • 08.27.2008 10:44 AM PDT

so we can get the shieldless maps and the elephantless santrap (or sand tarp) that is awsome!!! (lol its okay for bungie to mod thier own game nice 1 guys i like these updates!!!)

Makes sense to remove the only gametype that makes this trash -blam!- game somewhat fun (BTB). Hopefully Halo 4 is somewhat different than Halo 2/Halo 3.

Well my opinion taking playlists out is the stupidest thing to do. If you're trying to commercialize something like DLC why get rid of playlist that people love to play why not just make the one your trying to get people to play "better." If you think about it you should just add things not take them away or replace them with something similar or even different for that matter. I think that the more playlist the better it makes it more fun, because when you get bored playing one playlist you can just go on to another instead of looking at it saying "Well this is the only one i like now" I don't see the point in limiting your playlists if you want to make the game better why don't you do like any other smart company and broaden what you have don't take away just add to it, then you keep everyone that plays happy or happier than getting rid of something they enjoy or like.

1 cna haz reconz armurz na0?/

I have faith that bungies mega update will bring much joy to all halo players. Will this update make the 'You do not have the maps' stop?
What Im getting at is thata lot of players have to redownload the maps every time they switch their x box on.
It is sad that big team ranked and social is being booted, I prefer Avalanche anyway!
Think of it as a spring clean, the playlists are becoming less popular! trust bungie!

are we going to be able to do the recon challenge over live or is it at an event?
great update btw

btb gone =[ at least well find people faster now=]

  • 08.27.2008 2:08 PM PDT

I am very upset you got rid of social big team and made all of those changes and yet team snipers isnt a playlist. Halo 3 was my favorite game I cant really tell if it is anymore. Now its just getting old and pointless, well i guess if i dont adapt to the new changes ill go play a better game that will actually be fun. No offense to anybody just expressing my feelings.

  • 08.27.2008 2:37 PM PDT

Common sense is actually not common.

I'm gonna miss BTB but Squad Battle will suit me fine and the sheildless maps are a great addition, but when is Team Snipers gonna be a full time playlist?

Why no clans? You could make squad battles clan matches. Personally im a fan of ranked btb so the retirement of it leaves a void for me. Squad battles is a start but clans would be so much bettter.

what did you say dude I don't understand what you are trying to say.

When will Team Snipers be on the playlist? It would be cool if its there as its own playlist

  • 08.27.2008 9:54 PM PDT

This is kind of late to post but is that all the updates that are happening to matchmaking or just the ones you know of so far?

If thats all thats happening to matchmaking then im pretty upset at the loss of Ranked and Social Big team but it won't be that bad. I also agree with alot of the posters above me about the Team Snipers playlist

When most people are out numbered they pray to god for help, I pray to god for more ammo.

Can any1 here explain to me the point of playing ranked playlist if bungie is just gonna up and decide they want to take off the playlist? I cant even convince myself to play halo because im afraid if i spend time getting my other 50s, they will simply be taken away and all that time i spent getting them will be wasted. I bought COD4 the day i read about this update and have been playing it since, waiting on either a responce from bungie or the update itself to decide whether or not to burn my H3 copy.

As i wait for the update i have been reading every1's post and i have seen alot of questions. None of which are being answered. Bungie do you care about your loyal fans enough to atleast answer our questions and give us some closierSP*?
