OMFG BUNGIE GET RID OFF OBJECTIVE IN DOUBLES !! IT JUST MADE ME LOST MY 49 TO GARBAGE BAD KIDS. ITS RETARDED AND A TERRIBLE IDEA. DOUBLES WAS THE BEST GAMETYPE BY FAR BUT NOW IM NOT TOO SURE... NICE JOB RUINING DOUBLE TEAM... MAKING IT LESS FREQUENT IS A START I SURPOSE BUT SERIOUSLY THE IDEA IS BAD BECAUSE 2 PEOPLE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR ODDBALL, CAPTURE THE FLAG (SERIOUSLY WTF) AND KOTH. BUNGIE NOBODY LIKE OBJECTIVE ITS VETOED AUTOMATICALLY. IT USED 2 BE VETO SLAYER FOR BR'S BUT NOW YOU DONT WANT TO BECAUSE YOU ARE WORRIED YOU MIGHTE GET OBJECTIVE.

im glad that objective games will be reduced. but you might get negative feedback about removing BTB ranked or social... you should add the 6v6 to social also.
8 player Lone wolves will be fun, but who gets XP for these games, top 4 top 3?

Honestly when will you guys worry about both groups of players? I know Bungie likes to appeal to the more casual gamer, but why not worry about the other 50% of your players too? Hardcore/Pro people. I know this plea has been made 1 billion times, but please, for the love of all that is holy PUT SNIPERS AS A RANKED PLAYLIST!!! I swear, i have been waiting for this since Halo 3 came out. Every update, i look for "and snipers is added to ranked". But it never happens. You made a big step with adding a hardcore setting, but honestly the only fun thing in there was MLG. Head to Head was a flop, but that is now retired. SWAT is ok, but its not hardcore. Just keep MLG, put Hardcore playlists back up, and maybe, oh i don't know...PUT SNIPERS AS A RANKED PLAYLIST!!!! FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST, STOP FOCUSING ON GRIFBALL AND ROCKET RACE AND PUT -blam!- SNIPERS AS A RANKED PLAYLIST!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!

YAY WHY would there be sociel big team why not a gient new map were you canhave gient battles with a 100players 50 players each team but i dout BUNGIES HARD WARE for live would get F$%@ up and lag like a Bi@$.

  • 08.29.2008 9:04 PM PDT

-blam!- you Bungie! How dare you steal BTB from us. I guess it is time to find another game with big team battles. What a let down.

-blam!-es!

  • 08.30.2008 2:48 AM PDT

Another thing, Bungie will not change their mind. No way. They have made a huge mistake with this update but it seems they do not care what we want.

Do not expect Bungie to give you what you want as they will not.

What the hell, Bungie? You're taking out both Big Team gametypes? What the hell is was the point of 16 player Halo then? Jesus Christ.

My post should say it all for the frustration of that going, much less RANKED Big Team Slayer. I can understand Head to Head, that crap was stupid.

I agree with XxLightkunxX why be able to play 16 player games if you dont allow 16 players to a gametype. I am prouder of my 42 in RBTB than my 50 in slayer its harder. Dont subtract add

Up yours Bungie you dont care about your fans so i bought call of duty 4 and currently play it. it its a better game and this weekend im gonna do some serious host booting on halo for revenge. Bungie is a bunch of homos.

  • 08.30.2008 4:39 PM PDT

Bungie, Halo 3 is primarily a social game. Bring back Social Big Team and add Griffball as a permanent social playlist! Everyone loves Griffball!

  • 08.30.2008 11:40 PM PDT

Bungie why would you do this to me? Ranked Big Team Battle is awesome. :-( im a 34 in it

:( Bye-Bye Big Team Ranked :(

Why!!! I love this one so much, just blameful.. ahwell.. Time to waste time in Slayer, finally getting my 50 then -.- only thing that kept me from going for 50 die-hard was the diversity of the matchmaking, especially bigteam..

Hope the update will do much to compensate this loss :( (5k people in a playlist isn't that bad, is it ? :( )

MAGNUMS!!?? on TS? first weapon pickup will result in players picking up a wanted weapon and leaving the AR behind. no-body wants the magnum backpacked.

As for BTB... just another example of how bungie is making its users buy the content if they dont want to lose out. Shameful golddigging.
What is the point in halo 3 being a 16 player max game if none of the 'free' playlists allow you to use this functionality? complete bullblam

Hmm, kinda interesting changes...

Lone Wolves' increased player amount is great thing; achievements are much easier to do now. Overkill, for example, has been nothing but right timing. You have to kill four players out of five within four seconds of each other... For me, it has been very difficult so far.

Another interesting thing is Big Team Battles' retirement. But I don't mind that, because I don't actually prefer BTB:s.

Great changes, Bungie. Thanks! (Y)

Ok, i just read the Sept. updates... i like them as far as the Standard Ranked playlists goes.. but SWAT... starting without g-nades is fine, but then being able to pick them up, that's just dumb. Same with adding carbine to it.... now it's getting a bit towards a regular slayer just with infinite ammo. BUT, on the bright side, i do like how the super lame objectives in SWAT are reduced... although, i think you guys should just make that a separate playlist in HARDCORE.

Another good thing, the DLC update... TIGHT!!! i will be playing that like all the time same with the new Squad playlist os w/e it's called... SWEET stuff.

So yah, there's my input, i'm sure you've heard something like this.. but w/e... i just wanted to put my opinion in here.

Noo, why does Ranked BBTB have to go?? My friends and I loved that, 8 on 8 was always the greatest and there was something nice about not having to play a social playlist!

why ranked BTB i was really getting used to it and shieldless snowbound sounds great that means less hiding and camping =)

  • 09.01.2008 4:28 PM PDT

my name is onomi, look me up ill kick ur ass.

(note: some people are better than me, i know that. but its fun to be cocky)

why do you guys have 150 damage on, its suppose to be 10% resistance, and grenades dont do anything so why put them on anyway.

Thats all good but the people like boosters and stuff wont be too happy with RBT going because they use it to make their games look as if they've won all of them, as RBT is dub exp... i tried to do it once but i noticed i have way too much experince lolololol

will there be any updates to the sometimes horrible spawn points in team swat??
pls pls pls?!?!

  • 09.03.2008 11:51 AM PDT

I'm afraid I am in a minority here, because no one mentioned it, but I will really miss Rocket Race. That was always good for a laugh! I hope it can make "guest appearances" in the future.
