Mostly news on backward compatibility, but some very big news about matchmaking playlists. Everyone start frothing now, either with rage or joy. It's your choice.

I am one of those people who are upset that BTB is going away. I have rarely had problems with lag on 8 vs. 8 BTB games. Tis a shame it is being taken off! BTB is the reason why I play matchmaking...

On a lighter note I'm glad that there are so many BC games! : )

Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them. -Aristotle

You acknowledge that we made a big deal about not wanting BTB changed to unranked and then you go ahead and do it anyway!!!! I am truly disappointed, but alas it is your game to with as you please....I can't help but appreciate the fact you added the 6v6 option, but for me it will not be the same.

The unranked version will go the way of all the other unranked ones, besides you have eliminated the essential aspect of communication by allowing guests...I'm sorry its not that I want to find fault but as it stands now...I don't know if you'll see me on Halo 2 live after this playlist update.

There is a reason I am user ID 1 and my account creation date is before this site came online.

Will the new graphics deal with some of the bump-mapping issues that I've seemed to notice on XBL? It just seems that when I'm online I think someone is moving against a wall, but rather it is the game trying to texture the wall, and it feels like it is moving? Will the updated graphics deal with this?

Down, down to hell and say that I sent you there...

I came into the world with my legs forward and a woman cried "he was born with teeth!"

"I had no father I am like my father...I had no brother I am like my brother...And this word, "love" which old farts call divine be resident in men like you -blam!-. But not in me, I am my mother-blam!- self, alone."

You Are an Idiot

I still say they should take out H2H if they're going to take out BTB considering it's played less. But other than that, good update.

That's too bad about the BTB playlist. My experience with it hasn't been all that bad. Really! It's one of my favorite gametypes.

Plus I think with larger maps it makes sense to have the larger teams. Headlong, containment... 6vs6 on those maps is a different, less intense experience. Sometimes a yawn, if everyone decides to play "D"

Plus 6v6 is just a step up from 4 player games - is this more an effort to get bigger teams into maps like Ivory Tower and Lockout? If so, that's cool.

I'm willing to give the new gametypes a whirl.

FIRST!!!! (on the 2nd page)

Nice update. Im happy to hear the whole backward compatibility thing on 360 is resolved. Ill be sleeping out at Walmart on the 21st to get my copy. Too bad for BTB, it was realy fun. I guess a fresh start with 6 vs 6 is ok. Thats a nice blend. Unranked BTB is going to be hell, but somewhat fun. Im sort of curious about "combo training". Is that the noobs ultimate playlist?
