The no time limit is a good idiea for a very big reason. I can't tell you how many times that as soon as they get ahead by 1 point they will go and hide until the time runs up just to win. Come out and fight and stop being so scared or just stop playing head to head. Head to head on midship is crazy if they hide. It is almost not worth looking for them, and take out the sword in 1 vs 1. They can get a good lead with it and makes it hard to keep an even game unless you resort to it as well. It then becomes more about who gets the sword.

Since Coagulation is one of the largest maps and its always played in Team Slayer, etc. Can you add Headlong & Waterworks to all playlists, instead of what seems to me just Big Team Battle. These are great maps that are not used to there potential. thanks

Thanks Sketch, you are the bomb!

All those horrible nasty things I've said about you, please ignore, none of it was true. In fact I may have exaggerated a little. Or been drunk on my a$s.

I think you should first, dismantle the 2v2 program until you actually play it...your the morons who made there be 4 super powerful weapons in the game...now you want to make it so that in the entire game has 2 team of 2 (making it so that 1 team is able to hold all 4 weapons at the same time) so that that one team will get 30 straight kills on the weapon advantage and not any sort of skill. Do you guys think about what you do and the impact on the game???

well, the BR starter isn't great, that is to say that its absolutely horrible. I like how you can't duel weild at all and makes it all too easy to goonieBR combo the crap out of everyone. if you wanted to do a BR and SMG, that'd be good. It'd be the equivalent of Halo2 generic, which i'd be all over. THat'd be what you'd want to do. Takes away from the all-powerful snipers...now all you have to do is get rid of radar and the game will actually not suck.

Well do the math slow one. 25 kills is half the 4 vs 4 team slayer. You telling me u reached 50 kills on Coag every time u played it? That's what i thought ...

Big Team Slayer:

8 vs. 8
4 vs. 4 vs. 4 vs. 4
2 vs. 2 vs. 2 vs. 2 vs. 2 vs. 2 vs. 2 vs. 2 vs. 2

I really don't know how something soooooooooooo important could be overlooked.
Head to Head sucks because we play live to kill mass people, this isn't checkers.
You need a SLAYER HAVEN page just for pure slayers, half the time my clan has to split up into teams of four to play slayer (or custom game). I don't see how you guys missed this stuff, MAJOR CLAN MATCH SLAYER or MINOR CLAN MATCH SLAYER, I know it stings a little to miss something so huge that should be in the game.
Do you really think we play this game to plant a bomb, carry a flag, don't get me wrong its a good change of pace but give me a break man where here for the kill counts.

We're nearly finished with the next playlist update and it's just around the corner. As part of the update, we'll be adding a new 2v2 playlist in addition to a number of tweaks to what's already there. We're asking for feedback on what 2v2 gametypes you enjoy and also what you think this new playlist should be called. You can share your opinions in this Forum Thread.

We're also looking for your suggestions and ideas to help improve the existing Head to Head playlist. While plenty of people enjoy it, overall it is the least played and least enjoyed playlist we have. Share your Head to Head ideas in this Forum Thread.

And, if you haven't already, be sure to stop by the Voting Booth Forum to chime in on a number of Halo 2 polls.

Battle rifle start is a bad idea for a number of reasons.
1. Halo 2 map design is centered on duel wielding. Lockout, ivory tower, midship.
2. Battle rifles are already around the map, go get one if you want one.
3. The “Combo” would be even more widely used.
4. Attempting to attack an enemy team, you would be taken out by two people’s, two shots. The maps in halo 2 are about forcing people to get in each others faces, with the exception of the larger maps. A battle rifle start would be no fun in those maps.

What bungie should do is give you battle rifles in the larger levels, and leave the smaller, mid sized ones alone.

Who else is annoyed by the battle rifles firing sound? If they could just replace the sound file.

I think it sounds great, but I'm wondering about the poll for large maps. Can I just say, Coagulation is the worst map ever. There is only two snipers in the whole level and all you do is run. I hate it so bad.

Name: Small Team Battle, its simple and doesn't go againt any of the current names you guys already have.
Take out the sword or give it a battery like in campain. Because sword could easily wipe out a whole team over and over again. With rockets atleast you have to go get ammo.
Plus only small to midsized maps to play on.
CTF, assault, neut. bomb, slayer, crazy king, king of the hill, yeah all that.


P.S. Do this for Big Team Battle I think it would be sick.
8 vs. 8 like usual.
4 vs. 4 vs. 4 vs. 4, here in this game type if you get players that quit say 2 from one team and 2 from another while the other teams remained at full strength it instantly gives you an option to ally with another team.
2 vs. 2 vs. 2 vs. 2 vs. 2 vs. 2 vs. 2 vs. 2 vs. 2, plus with the same ally option.
Just a thought.

Hell yeah, shottys sounds good. Plz do 2v2 shotguns that would be very cool. Maybe a type with Snipes on map, and u start with shotty and sword.

Call it holy Cow.

great some different modes what about big team slayer first to 100 the one in
big team battle is to quick and why not a non slayer rumble pit king of the hill
and other modes
if you want to make the best mode it would have to be one shot kill that would kick
ass it was popular on unreal with the second one out soon you would make sure
no one will ever get bored of halo 2
i have loads of mad ideas for halo 2
keep up the good work bungie team
ps when are the new modes out

i agree with madboy about the one shot kills and i think br's nd sniper setting should be added because man me and all my halo2 freinds love sniping nd love mlg so that would b SICK mlg is all the higher levels talk about nd ima feind for the br and 2 v 2 dat would b ill but it wont b fair because u could get matched up wit ogre 1 nd ogre 2 the best 2 vs 2 team in the world no questions asked but w.e 2 v 2 funn as hell nd the name self explanitory 2 v 2

/orange Hey how but at least a new level with the brute plasma rifle and that red beam gun. That is gonna be kewl. But i think the 2 v 2 should be Called XxDouble ShotxX that would be fricken awesome. the new level should contain at least one or two nice glitches in it. Thanks

I know some good ones......you should have some only ment for sniping.Yeah a sniping battle were players can test there sniping skills.....I have a suggestion for a sniping game....I call it "Shadow Sniping" but others call it "Invisible Showdown".Anyway there is no vehicles,no grenades no nothing except sniping weapons and you hunt each other down,there is also no RADAR as well.This would be a excellent game for Halo 2 playlist.

About head to head,how about swords only or shotguns.

CFT & Bomb Games - have no interest in.

I think that there should be a zombie mode for Big Team Battle. I don't really like zombies, but making zombies a mode will help regulate the game and limit cheaters in what they can do in that mode. Too many people don't respect the rules for zombies in cutom games so they should have it be a set mode.

2 vs 2's gonna be awesome , new maps would be nice and fixing the standby problem would be the first thing to do , we gonna end up with level 50's in 2v2's after a week. 2v2 should be slayer , maybe a little skirmish , but like territories or something.Just call it something simple like Duo Slayer

I think we should have 2v2 slayer to 15 or 20 kills starting with the battle rifle or carbine.
