I am so pissed off about the new playlists comming out. Team Rifles? WTF?! that is so stupid, and for team slayer human weapons because little newbs got pissed cause they were getting owned by the br/pp combo! The new maps could me much better the updates suck balls, grenades are -blam!- now, ctf with covenant vehicles is retarded everyone will just whore the ghost, it is just soooooooo stupid. No radar for head to head is also -blam!- retarded.... just because a couple of newbs don't like doesn't mean you should take it off. Also king of the hill and oddball for head to head is dumb as hell. Bungie this is one if the most stupid things you have done with your games, especially this one. You should reset everything the way it was. It was obviously more fun that way. You should add MLG Gametypes to the playlists and get rid of what ever the hell you guys are going to add. I bet you any skilled player will agree with me on what i just typed. Most of the people that complain shouldn't even be playing this game in the first place. Most of them are 12 years old and they don't know any better cause their little minds are still growing...... SO PLEASE BUNGIE ALL I AM ASKING IS THAT YOU JUST RETURN EVERYTHING THE WAY IT WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS A BAD MOVE FOR YOU GUYS TO DO THIS.

GT:I Dozer I ( the I are i's not l's)


^^^Lmao, dude. I agree with what you just said. Especially the "brain still growing" thing. just becuase someone cant learn to defeat/ use the br/pp combo they're going to remove the pp.. that's lame.. If you people dont want the pp/br combo play a godamn custom game and turn them off. Which reminds me, I heard a briliant idea in one of the Forums... make it so you can check off each weapon you want available in a game. Oh yeah, one last thing.... NiGHT_LeGEnD I agree with your online Co-op mode. But as far as the new maps... you're on your own with that one.



i love it how every1 just ignored them
stop complaining cause all u can use 2 kill us is the pp/br combo



lol dude.. I wasn't complaining. Honestly I got tired of getting owned by the combo when I couldnt grab it myself. I just think it's funny how people complain because they cant learn to use/ defeat the combo. And To be quite honest with you, I think that all of you people are the ones complaining... pretty much saying that you dont have enough skill to beat the combo. Or that it's "lame" or "cheap" those weapons were put in the game for a reason and if someone said "damn, that's a poweful combination." well, then hats off to them because they were right. Personally, I use the Magnum/Plasma Pistol combo... its quicker becuase you dont have to swap. Anywho... nuff said. QUIT -blam!-ING ABOUT THE COMBO

When you said the Banshee shall be removed from CTF and Assualt games on Headlong and Ascension, does that mean you're adding some Acension games to Team Skirmish?

finally saw the update so now i can put my 2 cents in

nice job on the sudden death removal, I really hate it when people get into sudden death with the bomb, and hide the person in an impossible to find spot until everyone quits.

with the banshee removal, i thought you couldnt have the bomb/flag and ride in a banshee, since its a one person vehicle. ive never tried so im not sure but i guess you could.

i dont really like the removal of the plasma pistol in beaver creek/colossus. the plasma pistol was a very nice weapon, even though some people didnt know how to defend it. but i dont think this means you should remove it. maybe just weaken it a bit because it is a little too strong, with it being able to take out an entire overshield and everything, but i think removal of it was taking it a little too far.

VERY NICE TOUCH on the battle rifle as a starter wep for coagulation/burial mounds. i get burial mounds ALL THE TIME, and its not one of my favorite maps because its so huge. so hopefully this will make games more interesting there because being on that big map, always getting rocketed or sniped, gets very dull.

good job on the phantoms i hated that format.

yay for having the spectre in matchmaking now i love that vehicle and will intensify many of the games.

holy son of a mother 10680 suicides!!! NIIIIIICE!!!!

and the new maps are BEAUTIFUL!! finally some new places to play

If the levels we have next to our name represent skill, then why is our level able to go down. Not too often does your skill at something just dissapear. It should just be you have to win a lot more games in order to gain a rank.

It would also prevent the want to cheat, if they don't lose levels for losing, why would anyone cheat?


Just some thoughs that ran through my head.

when the stats get reset are you going to keep track on how many head shots and kills we got during matchmaking.

This week, lots of info about changes to matchmaking playlists and an estimate on when to expect them. We think you're going to like the changes as much as the Autoupdate and the maps.

My only complaint is that without the plasma pistols on those two maps, how will you deal with someone who has the overshield?

Don't flame me, i know you can take someone's overshield off by using other weapons, but its just easier with the pp

I'm glad they took away the sudden death timer in assault. Soon I'll only be playing team games and of course 2vs2 which should be awesome.

Simple you just run like hell or find a good hiding spot, and it is a powerup for a reason. Or you could actualy work together with someone.

It says if you commit suicide multiple times purposely in a matchmade game, you can get banned. Sometimes my friends and I go and play team training and just mess around. We sometimes commit suicide. Do you guys know if you could get banned for doing that in team training?

I'm not a hater but I got to say i've noticed alot of gitchers on the new maps mainly containment and it gets on my nerves. When I play legit I don't want to get snipe from the top of the mountains in matchmaking when the new maps are added. Are you guys going to take care of those issues before next week?

Yeah, so it's sweet that you guys are adding covenant vehicles, like the spectre, to matchmaking but I hope that you are aware that on Containment it is very easy to get on top of the level with a spectre. I just don't want this to turn into another problem that you have to fix in an update. I can definately see people being glitch whores all over again and I really hate that.
