Multi-team is amazing! Snipers is actually fun! (although I'm terrible)
And having them unranked is also a breath of fresh air - kudos to Bungie!

I heard that the ranks are just hidden. You do technically have a rank so that you still play people of similar skill, you just can't see the rank.

Please remember than unranked play still technically "ranks" you - you just can't see your level. This means that as you play, you'll be matched against people in the same level range as if it were ranked.

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 really think that they should be ranked just like the other games, rather than having it unranked. maybe not for team snipers but at least for the multi-team games, i really love most of the multi team games i think they're more fun than team skirmish sometimes, but it sucks that its not ranked. also i think that they should try and edit some of the games out of the multi team, i don't understand why there is team snipers in multi-team if there is already a team sniper game that you can choose.

The two new playlists are a breath of fresh air, they are so different from the current and previous game types and playlists. I like that there is something different that myself and a guest can have fun with, as team training becomes a bore, if you want my honest opinion, and of course this is only my opinion these should be the game types as I feel it would give variety and it would allow you to practice across the board without it effecting your rank, and playing with guests won't feel so worthless. Nevertheless, thank you Bungie for the lovely surprise I received last night as I logged onto Xbox live to play some team slayer, keep up the good work.

Bungie, if you would make this the matchmaking game types, I would love you forever, ok, lets be honest, I probably will anyway as you guys are working on Halo 3 as we speak. Anyway what do you guys in the thread think of these game types?

Team Snipers
Team Snipers Training
Team Slayer
Team Slayer Training
Multi Team Training
Multi Team
Head to Head
Double Team
Team Skirmish
Team Training (only objective games)
Big Team Battle (with new playlists!!! and more team slayer!!)

I agree 100% because it would allow everyone to play with their own level. I mean I have gotten tons better with the sniper but I want practice and I want to climb through the ranks. I think that everyone would like it this way as you get to play with your own skill level, and we are talking about the main gun in the game, a good sniper makes or breaks a good slayer team, thusly it deserves a ranked game type.

Losers.

You can't complain about being matched with sucky people, because it was already said that you actually do have a rank, just not visible.
And that's the best way to do it.
So that noob that you can't kill is ranked the same as you in Team Snipers.
Why hide levels? So morons like the lot of you can't run around screaming "HEY! LOOK AT MY LEVEL 40 IN MULTI TEAM! IT'S LEGIT, REALLY!"
Unranked games, besides the downside of people quitting, discourage cheating and do other helpful things.
So thank you, Bungie, fot not ranking these new playlists.
And anyone who says otherwise, shut up.
I value your opinion, but I've already valued it the 100 times that someone has said it in this thread already.


Just remember - IT IS RANKED. You just can't see your rank. The only purpose seeing a rank serves is to boast about it. Prove me wrong.

Ah u moron its to match u with same skill level people with and its actually a quote from Bungie!!! Yeah the Bungie.net Overlord said its invisible so then why do I get matched with lvl 18 and 22s!!! Sometimes there at my lvl and I don't brag about my lvl if thats why u think they exsist... I rather have it ranked so I ldon't lose because someone dosen't know how to snipe as well as my team.


Oh and heres how i can prove it...

Hey, I don't know about you guys but when i saw the playlists I literally said "WTF?". One of my friends heard me and he laughed his azz of. Anyway, I haven't played them yet so I thought no ranks would suck "BAAAAAAD", team snipers sounds a little cool if it was ranked, but it ISN"T!

i strongly agree with player, the419gamer. After playing "SWAT" in training for the first time, i just had to create the variant. Lately i have played many custom games with people in various maps and we all agree that it is definitely great fun. the sneaking around, the one-shot-kills, its all great. to Hell with grenades though. anyone interested in making the variant, that hasnt already, foget the grenades unless your kill limit is set on the max! trust me, you wont want grenades in there with ya, no one likes a luck-grenade. anyways, SWAT is definitely one on the most skilled and fun variants i've ever seen. SWAT, i believe, would be a nice addition to the playlists. thanks all.

...

It seems to me that everyone ranting about the new play lists not being ranked have not read one post on this thread. If they have then they would realize that like all new play list, you start at lvl 1! So, the reason you are getting matched up with those noobs is because the list is fairly new and you have to play some games to get your hidden level up.

But the one thing I do have a problem with is that my party of 4 for team snipers or my party of 3 for multi-team get split more times then we stay together... That is the only thing I have a problem with otherwise they are great game types.

I don't care about ranks (partly because i suck), i just want to play with people at a similar skill level to me in Multi-team.
And whats with splitting parties up in matchmaking? Thought that was the reason for creating parties - so you can play as a team with your mates?

I agree with Mr ernst, if you have the choice of entering the new playlists as either ranked or unranked, people with have the choice. I've found when I play team training with my friends (usually as guests) the players we are matched against are sometimes ranked over 20 levels higher than me, That has never happened to me with ranked games. Also, with the choice given of unranked and ranked, it would let the more casual players who just want to practice....practice rather than get owned by level 35's etc and then being cussed for "sucking" I think sometimes people take it a little too seriously, I mean, love playing Halo as much as the next man but seriously, get a life, drink a beer and try and meet a girl. (I know the last one could be difficult for some of you out there)

I agree, sniper on Terminal is just awful, too many tight close spaces, it would be nice if that was replaced by a different map.

team snipers= rank
multi team= unranked
multyi team is to crazy to rank...it is unpredictable and you could all team up to waste one team just so you could rank up...plus i love that it is basiclly for fun and that nobody really cares if you win or not...rank will do what it did to all the other playlist....ruin it makes everyone want one more level so they try really hard....i wanna just be able to goof off a little bit and have fun playing a funny playlist.
