The Halo 2 Xbox Live Matchmaking Playlist have just been updated with two brand new entries and a number of minor improvements and adjustments based on player feedback.

Please note: You will need to have ALL new maps installed in order to participate in Matchmaking.

Also, please note that it may take a little time for this new playlist update to fully propagate across Xbox Live so you may encounter an occasional leftover game from before the update if you or the host haven't logged off in a while.

For the full list of the latest playlist offerings, check out the playlist page in the Stats section of Bungie.net.

For additional info about this latest update, check out this forum thread in the Optimatch Forum.

Our next update will be in approximately six weeks and we've already begun gathering your suggestions and ideas on what it should include. Currently there are a few discussions underway in the Optimatch Forum so be sure to share your opinion. Currently we are building out the details for a "Pro" style playlist but any and all suggestions are welcome.

And as always, if you encounter people who are cheating, being offensive or causing problems, please use the in-game feedback system to report them.

Uh, first page. It isn't boring and bad! The new gametypes rule and its a good thing that their unranked. I'm tired of loosing to rank whores who can't enjoy a simple game of halo 2 unless they rank up. Also, you can bring guests in those unranked playlists, freeing you from just playing team training and costum games with them.

I have an idea for some new playlists. How about two new seperate plalists: Rumble Swords and Team Swords for all of the Sword Lovers? I'm sure it would be a hit.

Since you've determined them to not be "actual games" does that mean you didn't "actually play them"?

Just because the little number next to your name didn't go up, it doesn't mean you didn't just win.

the games are really fun dont get me wrong, and i will still play them regardless. But you just have nothing to show for it if you won lots of games are not.. ANyway, they should leave the games unranked until BUNGIE BANNS MODDERS IP ADDRESS instead of their 2 month free trail accounts. :)
see you on live guys

I was playing on my account RE3FER and I lost my double team level from 25 to 14 by winning a game. I left my xbox on last night. So when i got with my friend we stated playing. When it got to configuring i noticed i was a 14. So when we got done i was still a 14. i singed off and back on and noiced there was an update. I think it took my preview level witch was 14 instead of my double team because i didn't get the update. Please help.
If any one has any way to help please contact me. I would appreceate it.

yeah yeah yeah! i agree with that xHornetx dude, rumble/team swords!
if only i had a good connection, i'd never leave XBL! i love swords, and pistols. ha.
yeah, playlists are cool, except when i played multi-team, some dudes said that bungie f***s up everything. maybe. if multi-team had like...a mission to accomplish instead of killing each team.
like new game types. bombs and flags are...uh, i dunno.
well, hope ya guys rank that stuff soon!
*i still think double team was one of your better moves, though =) *

well, see you out on the battle field.

I think the Sniper Playlist is great! It's a nice change to the monotony of what Halo 2 was becoming. The multi-team playlist is a little chaotic, but hopefully that will change after a while.

Thanks for mixin it up a bit Bungie, and an early thanks for the Pro Playlist. I think this is gonna be a great rebirth for Halo 2.

Dear Bungie,
Why is multi-team unranked.
This gametype is so funny bud becouse it's unranked peaple will leave if they play bad.
With ranks, you play agains peaple from the same rank.Now you play with peaple below your rank and thats verry bad!

We wait so long for this gametype with ranks.
Now we play this gametype just sometimes for training.

We hope that multi-team will be ranked
within no time.

I agree with u they should be ranked but they should also put more games into it like swat and swords. They should make it where u can pick what game u wanna play.

Levels are there, just hidden. Why can't anyone just enjoy the game, especially the unranked playlists. They're generally cheater free and it doesn't matter is you lose. So what if people quit, just start up a new game. You can not tell me that every game you've played more than two people quit out, I knoow it happens a lot, but deal with it. Personally, I'm happy they decided to make the new playlists unranked. Unranked playlists, in my opinion, are the best. I usually spend most of my Halo 2 time playing rumble training and team training unless my friends are on, and if you say, "Oh you only play rumble training because you suck," look at my stats for ranked games, and thats with sharing an account with my little brother who isn't that great. Usually, i have friends over so the new playlists, to me, are a great addition. Thanks for the new playlists Bungie.


Oh, first time on first page, WOO!!!!
