ok, that is gonna b 1 of the best updates u guys have come out with yet...but, i also have a bad feeling about it cuz i think that a lot of ppl will be frustrated with their play, they mite not be as good as they think they really are, so then they'll get pissed off and stop playing that matchmaking list...but, that also makes it a lot easier 4 other ppl cuz then they can rank up easier cuz the other ppl quit...ne wayz, i think it will be fun, im pretty good w/ the BR and sniper so, this is something im looking forward 2...=)

It's cute how you talk about MLG like it's a career path or a way of life.

Man! Finnaly a playlist with some pro stuff that really requires skill no more oh you noobs ill take you on iin head to head... this way if you lose you cant possibly have an excuse except for a griever on your team or a quitter/ deleveler.

Man this team hardcore playlist is gona be awesome! Its really gonna seperate the real players from the no0bs! i cant wait! I hope i do well in it! I think really good players will make this their highest rank instead of slayer because I think it would be something to be more proud of! Great update by the way! Bring team hardcore as soon as possible!

See you starside.

Shameless Beta qualifying info!: I have owned and played (sometimes to death) every Bungie game since Marathon. (Did not finish Pathways, Forge (M2) called to me). Marathon 2 remains my all time favorite game. Have built tons of maps on every generation of Forge - used to tedious work. I take an organized and analytical approach to everything. I still own the Action Sack and rock a sunflare tattoo. Big on world domination.

Team Hardcore would benefit from having a modified matchmaking engine; for groups of people, use only the highest rank. This would eliminate people with low two month accounts, downlevellers, and other various morons looking to cheat the system.

Also, I'm hoping you can no longer wedge the bomb into that crack on midship..

Darkness Howls is not entirely sure if there is such a thing as the 14th person, but Is sure it could easily be made up.

Dear Bungie,

I love the fact that you are still working on halo 2 and making it always interesting online. It is great to see a company still take intrest in an old project. But i have one problem with this new playlist.
I bought this game and bought xbl for 2 reasons:
1) For sheilds
2) Radar

Other games that dont have radar are fine, mainly cause you cant kill someone in the back with one hit. But without radar you cant tell, and when your fighting someone, all of a sudden you die cause someone punched you once.
I am one of those folks who live off radar, and thus i never get assasinated. I seem to kill so many folks cause they dont use it but i do, and i can identify what tatic they use or what they have by the radar. (sword charges or disipears, which mean there crouch walking) I know a lot of the pro players dont use radar, but thats because they get pwned all the time by it. (usually)
I am A hardcore player, i an a 34 legit, and I personally think that radar should be allowed.
EVERYTHING else is perfect, even down to certin maps only having 1 gametype. (cause it is not so much fun with everything else ;) ) Please re-consider the rardar option. Thank you for reading this, and please at least test it with radar to, at least then i know you guys gave a shot at it.
Your humble, loyal Bungie soldiar,
John________

Awwwwwww Snap! Finally, a matchmaking playlist that separates the Marines from the Spartans, the Elites from the Hunters, the softies from the hardcore. And making it ranked without a leaderboard was a brilliant idea to reduce boosting. I'm gonna enjoy eating all the chumps alive on this playlist. Looks like fish is back on the menu boys!

Good update. thanksx for the hardcore playlist. you guys should make team snipers a ranked playlist or if it's to be a "novelty playlist" playlist then make it ranked anyway. Oh and take away leaderboards altogether... hey whatever helps with the cheating.


and duuhh... it's totally obvious that the announcement has someting to do with da mooviee.

I bet its gonna be Halo 2 made for the 360.


Why would they make it for 360 when it is going to be backwards compatible?

First off I would like to thank Bungie for putting together this awesome playlist. After months of debate you guys have come up with a legitimate compromise that should satisfy everyone across the board. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised as to how popular this thing is going to be. You must realize that this is what many of your most dedicated fans have been waiting for.

Now in regards to the above post, it is a well know fact that playing without motion sensor improves the overall intensity and pacing of the game dramatically. It requires one to be more aware of his/her surroundings as well as put more emphasis on proper decision making tactics while cutting down on camping. In other words it takes more skill to play without radar and most would agree with the notion that (skill = fun). If your getting ambushed then I suggest you work on getting better at anticipating your opponent's next move as well as recruiting reliable teammates to watch your back. It's named Team Hardcore for a reason and I for one have very little to complain about as far as this playlist goes.

Stop wasting bungie's bandwidth. (pointless post =( )

Anyway,
Great, i love teasers! Also, the new playlist might finally quell some MLG lover's woes. = )

Also, a request for a new Mr. Chief. I'd like to see an "Old School" mister chief, as in, Marathon or Myth style =) If not, then a 8 bit type version =) Thanks if you do Frankie ; )


Tru7h, Carnage, Bungie.
