Now that's what I call an update! I can't wait for Epilogue and Boundless, It'll be interesting to see how those maps will play now. Hopefully no more kamikaze sticking the dude with dual maulers behind the shield doors on snowbound.

Well you've gotten me super stoked.

Head to Head : This playlist is retired.

I need more time, i've played around 30-40 games(guess)lost exactly 3 and only a level 15.
Which i don't mind me not ranking up quickly but i'm not going to beable to get to a 50 before september 16. I guess i'll have to start working on team slayer again.

Thank you for making Epilogue and Boundless, although i never had a problem with shield doors it's nice to know your listen to every part of the comunity(i never doubted you), it's like a new map pack :-D.

I can't wait to see Purple Reign, even though i'm in the UK thanks to the internet i should know everything about it about ... 3 seconds after the curtain lifts :P

It would be nice to have some kind of online Recon challenge for people all over the world to have a chance. Either way thank you for giving people a chance.

I noticed no-one said anything about the Map editor theory.

okay im glad you added some cool new maps and all but why why would you retire big team??? im mad and ill bet many other people are to now because if we want to play big team we have to have legendary. me and my friends also used to play big team battle alot and also most of them dont even own legendary so we cant play that together so my question is if you even read this is at least bring social back

Lone wolves increased to 8 players? Are you -blam!- me? Now i'll never rank up :(

  • 08.22.2008 4:33 PM PDT

Why the -blam!- would big team social be removed I want a playlist to screw around in and everyone in double exp is super serious.

  • 08.22.2008 4:35 PM PDT

I'm the jerk who goes around shooting my own team.

hey guys, thats where this idea comes in.its a forum about a playlist that includes only user created maps, cheack it out, its got some prety good ideas. thanks

  • 08.22.2008 4:37 PM PDT

"Brick, where'd you get a hand grenade?"
"...I don't know."

No more Big Team Social?

No more Rawket Race?


What is the reasoning behind this?

Awesome
Epitath and Snowbound Revisions.
Assembly.
Gametype updates.
DLC Big Team
September 16th.

Dissapointing but expected
Removal of RBTB, DLC Slayer, and DLC Objective

Unexpected and Unacceptable
Requiring Legendary DLC for Team Doubles.
Removal of Social BTB
Removal of Rocket Race. (WTF?) :(

While I'm happy to know more about Bungie's projects, I'd like to know more about the Bungie Store. And by "more" I mean "anything at all."

  • 08.22.2008 4:43 PM PDT

Everything sounds sweet but pleeez pleeez PLEEEZ, i beg of you dont take away my big team and rocket race! PLEEEEZ!!!!!

P.S. Im going to cry myself to sleep tonight

DEEP NNN = Depends

Clan 2old2pwn on 2old2play.

Don't let yesterday use up too much of today.

Sigh! My fanboy ego just took a beating. No AI bots.

Now what am I going to speculate about?

I noticed you didn't say "no map editor" but I suppose it was implied. I could go with it anyway, I suppose. If I don't some other fanboy will. LOL

  • 08.22.2008 4:44 PM PDT

shishka thanks for DLC big team i've always wanted to play avalance on big team

  • 08.22.2008 4:46 PM PDT

yummmm....
compared to last weeks update this was like a 3 course meal!

  • 08.22.2008 4:47 PM PDT

Trailer Park Boys ~ One of the best Canadian made comedies ever.

Pretty good update.

I can't fully form an opinion on the playlist changes since I haven't played it. But I'm going to assume that the changes were for the best and not only for matchmaking, but for the player as well.

I was skeptical about Shishka removing Social BTB. But as I scroll down, it's now merged into one full DLC BTB. I really really like that change. Now all the BTB lists are combined into one, and not only will it have the original maps like Social BTB, it will include the new ones, helping offer more variety to the playlist and having a much bigger population pool. Can't wait to start playing the new DLC BTB!

Good job Shishka and looking forward to the new title patch Bungie!

  • 08.22.2008 4:48 PM PDT

I hardly ever post in here, but this update seems kinda lame. After the initial "wow" factor of H3 died down, Rocket Race was the thing that got my friends and i interested in playing H3 online again. It was the perfect casual, no pressure game type. I also enjoyed BTB for similar reasons...sure, it was competitive, but it was great fun, and never took long to find a game.

I'm just worried because it seems like there were no logical reasons to get rid of RR and (especially) BTB. I know some will say that they're not totally gone, just moved, but i won't be jumping into Team Doubles just to hope that RR comes up. Also, making BTB exclusive to DLC playlists seems ridiculous, since that excludes Sandtrap, Last Resort, and Valhalla.

I'm going to miss Big Team Social, but the rest of the updates sound cool.

Oh, how I wish I could attend PAX.

Bungie working on three projects? And not all halo related? For Christ sake what are they? FPS's FTW

  • 08.22.2008 4:49 PM PDT

why would you EVER remove rocket race? I am never playing halo again. I am going to get all of my friends on my friends list to stop playing, and their friends too. I am going to make a website that gives money to everyone who is going to stop playing halo 3. I am going to get as many people to boycott halo 3 as possible. I am quitting college and I am going to picket outside of bungie studios. I am so mad that I am not even going to proof read this message before I send it. There might be some misspelled words, but it doesn't matter because rocket race is going to be gone in a month. I am in the makings of a really dominate rocket race montage that will have to go to the crapper now because there is no point in trying to get rocket race games once out of 50 tries on whatever playlist you shoved them in to. This is the worst update I have ever seen and I hope you had a good time ruining the rocket race community.

Typical Halo nerd. Move along.

Bungie, I am sad that you aren't putting Bots in Halo 3. But you never said anything about that Gigantic Empty Map!!! THERE IS STILL HOPE!!!!!!!


Also, why did you retire Big Team Social? Lots of people play that, and it's fun. DLC BTB won't be any fun, because we will only be playing on Avalanche, Standoff, and Rat's Nest.


Head to Head got retired? I guess that's okay. To many boosters.


Rocket Race is gone?! Good. That playlist sucked.


I love the look of those shirts. I'm going to get a Traxus one!


Where are the pictures of Assembly?! Don't tell us about a map unless you have pictures.


What about the other Map? When are you going to show us that one?


All in all, a good update. You broke my heart about no Bots, and killed me when you said no Campaign stuff was going to be implemented in Forge. But, oh well.


I'm glad to see Epitaph and Snowbound are getting revamped. I'll have to save those!

"Calamity!" (as spoken by Guilty Spark)

Social Big Team was one of my favorites. Now what playlist can I play if I have a guest or two who haven't played much Halo but just want to have some fun?
