AWESOME Update.

Living dead must be pretty damn popular, 3 months in a row.

That's awesome.


I never played Team Action sack, but this looks fun!!!


Living dead will most likely lose it's popularity once most people get the corresponding achievements involving the playlist and the Mythic maps.

BUNGIE you got a lot of explaining to do!!!!!!!

Team Objective retired....WTF WTF WTF.

So now social skirmish is the only place to play objective games in a team of 4?

You -blam!- imbeciles. This is seriously going too far!

It is the only playlist I actually enjoy and you finally tweaked it to have veto for flag games and now you retire the best playlist you ever had and will ever had.

-blam!- YOU!

Team action sack it up your proverbial. -blam!-.

Why retire Team Objective? I know not a lot of people played it... but its a core playlist and there isn't anywhere else you can play just objective games...

Want to see advanced Halo stats not offered by other Halo stat websites? Check out MetaHalo.com, the stats website I am working on. Reach stats currently in development.

Like BTB? Check out bigteambattle.net!

Can't wait for the new playlist. A shame that Team Objective is going though. They should actually try to make the playlist better instead of removing it, so more people would actually be motivated to play it.

I know I have an issue with my temper and may say and do things in a match that are embarrassing and regretful. I try my best to control it but things tend to get on my nerves...like Armor Lock for example. :P
So if I do do or say something bad, then I'm sorry I didn't really mean it and you should just get over it.
Thank you.

The new Action Sack play list sounds sweet. I still wish they would bring back the 8 player Lone wolves though...

Fixed to what it should say.

Team Objective is gone?? And there isn't even a replacement? No try and making it double EXP? Nothing, just letting it go like that?

I agree with Cubed but Vessel? I think it plays pretty well.

Awesome, I can't wait to read the reports Brian and Luke post from E3 about Halo 3: ODST. Yes, OMG Team Action Sack is going to be insane! The June Halo 3 matchmaking update looks great and I am looking forward to some really awesome games of Halo 3. Last week's Vidmaster Annual Recon Competition was a lot of fun. It was great to go back and do it again, I think that the Vidmaster: Annual is my favorite Halo 3 achievement. Congratulations to all of the Annual winners. Have a good holiday weekend everyone.

Can't wait!

Nice update!!

  • 05.22.2009 6:32 PM PDT

Right now I'm just mostly PO'd at Bungie for killing the only decent Ranked playlist left. Sorry, to see you go Team Objective. Personally I think, Team Slayer should have been rolled in like 2v2 a nice balance or Slayer and Objective. Not that I was going to be playing anyway everything seems to be DLC required these days. It seems Bungie prefers to cater to the worst crowd in matchmaking those annoying kids with their parents credit cards who would prefer to T-bag you than play an good game.

It's funny how sitting on top of the XBL games list goes to your head.

Best of luck Bungie.

  • 05.22.2009 6:39 PM PDT

I play for fun, not for Competition, besides, its just a game you over actors.

After College, I plan to apply for a job at Bungie.

I didn't get recon eh? Another Recon contest eh? Oh wellz, I'm not stopping just yet, besides, I can always wait till ODST comes out, I'm still stuggling on those HALO song lyrics, It seems like I'm desperate for Recon all of a sudden, maybe because I need something to spice up the game, its been getting boring lately, we need more INFECTION.

Is mythic gonna be free/ Or will i have to purchase it to play team slayer?

  • 05.22.2009 6:42 PM PDT

Wow, Team Action Sack sounds awesome! I never played it in Halo 2, but this will give me a shot at it.

Actionsack, probably the best news i've heard in a long time!!! I'm really excited for that.

Why not infinite ammo in the Fiesta gametype within Actionsack? I wonder how much different it will be.

Good bye Team Objective, I will miss you.

Next time you have a thought let it go. Alright maybe a little harsh but you should think before you go and just blurt something out.

I'm with you in your disappointment with the retirement of TO. But where you lose me is TS rolled in Team Doubles if that's what you're trying to say. How does that solve anything?

I understand what you're saying about those annoying kids but the maps are 800 M$ points which is what 10 bucks? 2 hours of minimum wage or maybe 2 weeks allowance and you're running around sandbox saying "Why didn't I get this sooner?" I believe these map packs would be free if it weren't for M$ but that's a whole different issue.

It's funny how sitting on top of the XBL games list goes to your head.

Best of luck Bungie.


Are you kidding me? Obviously you haven't been reading the weekly updates for the past month. If you did you would know how modest Bungie has been for this achievement. So I'm assuming you're one of those same kids you were talking about earlier and that I'm wasting my time.
