Hello.

Do Halo 2 bans have any significance on the "list"?
I hope not. :(

Team Objective - RETIRED


Why must every major playlist change be a total failure? I loved rocket race, and that was retired, and I love TO, and now that will be retired. I want an objective game that has 4 man teams, 5 man gets really chaotic, and takes less strategy. GF bungie, moar rush, l3ss sk1ll, just like the rest of halo.

It seems like all the people who like objective based games are neglected by the genius in charge of playlists. Flag is awesome and bomb is awesome. (except neutral assault of course, that gametype makes no sense at all)

VIP is kind've broken, the option where you get bonuses for sticking with your VIP needs to be implemented.

Territories is broken, but the Conquest gametype is amazing. Why not implement that into a playlist?

Juggernaut is fail. Nuff said.

tldr: Why can't we have moar objective based games?

Really happy that Action Sack is coming to Halo 3.

Then kinda sad that TO has died :(

But truth be told, I didn't play much ranked, and even less TO. So I guess I won't really miss it.

i enjoyed the sun today in seattle was skating all day no halo :P

  • 05.22.2009 8:25 PM PDT

Yay!

Forget "the rest of matchmaking", just give me Action Sack!

PS. How long is AS sticking around for? Just as long as its popular?

I'm Sad Team Objective left. I was starting to get into it, and the day i started i went up like 5 or 6 ranks. It was fun too. :(

Action Sack does sound like it will be amazing though. It definitely will mix up gameplay (better than just "BR or AR?").

OOC: nature is fuking ghey

May 17th, 2009. Dog head in glass jar this morning, tire tread from 1996 Ford Ranger XLT. The Internet is afraid of us. We have seen its true face. Our PM boxes are extended gutters and the gutters are full of whining and when the tears finally overflow, all the boosters will drown. The accumulated filth of all their stolen EXP and rubber-banded controllers will pile up about their waists and all the fake Generals will open up a new message and type, "Can I haz Recon?" And we'll look down and reply, "No."

Really, Bungie? REALLY? That shoddy excuse of a reference has lost me a few points with you. SRSLY

Happy b-day everyone!

Yesterday is behind us, the Future is before us, and today is a Gift, which is why it is called the Present.

Team Mythic was ok.... I think that Action Sack will sounds better and will be. Sucks Team Objestives is gone..... =(

Indeed. I haven't had XBL for a long time, but I still come on her everyday.

I wanted to get a closer look at the main image for this update but the fileid provided in the filename was... incorrect. So, now I do have something to blame stosh for since he's in charge of the top story images!

Regardless,

I. AM. PSYCHED!

I like the sound of action sack.Shame about Team Objective though.I am very relieved by this update my friend told me that i would never get to participate in a recon contest due to a two week ban from EXP. Coincidently i took an awesome screenshot last night i hope it's eligible (i hope i spelt that right).

  • 05.22.2009 9:43 PM PDT

Get WorkPLaced!!

No more Objective, Action Sack is back!? Moar Reconz!? <3 Bungie :)

Social skirmish is still there, people. And it won't even require any maps!
Social skirmish is much different from Team objective. Team objective is ranked and so gets a more serious crowd. Team objective is more for the 4v4 hardcore strategists than for the wildness of 5v5 social skirmish. Do you see my point?

PS. I do have a theory as to why its being removed, Bungie's servers can only handle a certain number of playlists and they need to make room for Action sack. It's only a theory.

Are they going to show the screenshots that won the vidmaster annual contest?
