I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

I agree! I would love plenty of BTB maps!

As long as I don't need the BTB Maps to play 4 vs 4 Lists I would be fine with the idea of an BTB mappack.
Finally a mappack that I won't buy since I know I hate all the maps :D
And something sweet for btb fans.

Wow, just because you don't like BTB and wouldn't care if it was there at launch doesn't mean other people wouldn't. I happen to love BTB over other playlists, so maybe they should release Reach with BTB maps and make smaller maps after launch? \

I know hundreds of people on multiple websites that love BTB. Its really easy to get an 8 man team if you just try. And the only reason BTB has had fewer players lately is because of all the people to cheap to buy the last couple map packs. Halo is all about BTB, it is the classic playlist and the truest way to play Halo. This isn't an opinion its fact. BTB maps are the only maps with everything Halo has to offer on them, and therefore the only way to play the FULL halo.

Oh, and yes just because I disagree with you I'm a 9 year old and what I have to say therefore means nothing. You should get over yourself I never played ranked BTB or much of Squad Battle for that matter because I don't like ranked. Social is more fun for me and BTB is the funnest social playlist for me and many others.

Instead of having a BTB map pack. How about they just have more big maps? In every Halo game they only have like 3 BTB maps, hopefully in Reach they'll have more big maps. Social Big Team is my favorite playlist, but it gets boring after a while because you always play on Sandtrap, Avalanche, and Valhalla.

Notice I said hundreds not 100 and yes I'm sure you personally know thousands of people. How many of those people do you think also like to play BTB? Probably a lot of them, so why would they care if Bungie kept doing what they usually do and make maps for everyone.

no problem guy below me ; )

But not EVERYONE does love 4v4, I personally find it boring. Bungie can easily make maps for everyone at launch and then release map packs with more varied maps like they have been. Where is the problem in that? Doing it like they usually do will not lower the map quality.

And where is the overall fairness to everyone if Bungie does what your saying and forces people who like BTB to pay more than everyone else just to get to play their favorite playlist at all.

Nothing, and I repeat nothing, can beat a non laggy game of BTB CTF on Coag, Valhalla, Avalanche. Or 1 Flag on Last Resort, Headlong, and Longshore.

Halo plays best on BTB, and rather than focus on one group of people, they can continue what they've done for the last 7 years.

On game release have 2/3 small maps. 4/5 medium maps, and 2/3 BRB maps.

Then use the same format for map packs. 1 small, 1 medium, 1 large.

Then everyone is happy, and nobody is forced to wait an extra 6 months to play BTB, but then be expected to pay more money to play, after they had to wait 6 months?

That's some horribly flawed logic, and a horrific idea.

Oh so then would you be willing for them to make BTB first (which is the original and arguably still is the core of Halo) and release 4v4 and so on later? I don't think you would so stop asking others to.

And again how will Bungie releasing various sizes of maps at the same time make each map have less quality. Using that logic the only way to get the "best" experience would be for them to only release one map at a time. The gameplay is all the same just on different scales, having them not release BTB maps until 6 months after launch will not improve the quality of either. It will only make BTB lovers mad, just like not releasing small playlists until 6 months after launch would make the fans of those playlists mad.

wth you completely changed what i meant


let me explain

you say they should cater to mlg and only release
medium and small maps from the beginning

i say they shouldn't cater to mlg and not just release small and medium maps


the idea is bad and pretty well stupid
for one fact YOU CATER MLG

the core experience of the halo experience is insanity a medium paced shooter in which you have to make decisions on the blink of an eye

if you want squad based game play for the love of god go play th BF series it will accept you with welcome arms

No I was not being sarcastic. The original BTB in Halo CE was the core of the games multiplayer. Even in Halo 3 it is obvious that the smaller playlists are smaller modified versions of the core original gameplay that is BTB. This is obvious because as the playlists get smaller they have less stuff in them. That is not to say BTB is better, but it is what everything else is based off of and is therefore the core.

And how does having more players in a match make the gameplay slower? If anything it would speed it up.

more players = more killing

And now your just trying to make it seem like its either 4v4 or BTB and that both can't be in Reach. But they can and I don't see why you don't want it in there so much.

BTB should stay the way it is its the only safe haven of people who want to play for fun. And not have to put up with -blam!-. I love 8on8 more action more fun.

  • 11.15.2009 8:30 AM PDT

The problem with large maps is that Bungie never places any cover on them, so moving around is suicide.

I see you no longer have any factual points and have resorted to simple minded insults and self serving opinions. So I am done arguing with you.

But it doesn't matter because Bungie will never do what you want because they care about all their fans not just MLG.

  • 11.15.2009 9:17 AM PDT

BTB is awesome and your whole arguement is dumb.

Bungie would never ship a game without one type of map.

They should just ship Reach with like 3 big maps, 3 medium, and 4 small. Make everyone happy.
