Are you guys even gonna reconsider not taking Big Team Battle away? Or is our time here posting about how much we love this gametype a waste of time? Come one Bungie, make the right choice!! You guys can't be for real when you say Big Team is NOT played, how is that? Everytime I play Big Team it doesn't even take 1 min to get into a game because there's always people playing it. Can you guys let us know if your even reconsidering so I can stop wating my time!

Great job, Bungie! I love what you're doing with Matchmaking. Hardcore was awesome, and I'm looking forward to the new 6 vs 6 playlist. BTB was garbage. Way too much lag, and it took so long to get a game. Then, when you finally get into a game, you get crappy players on both sides, and as soon as one team scores a point, about half of the losing side quits. Real fun... =P

"Brutality" and "Combo Training"? Could you be a little more obvious, Frankie? lol...

Brutality: Brute Shots for all! (This is already a gametype in Team Training, IIRC)

Combo Training: Umm.. just a wild guess here.. but judging from the name, I'm guessing everyone starts with the horribly popular "noob combo"? I actually have a custom gametype like this.. where everyone starts with PP/BR and overshields. Expect a lot of killstealing. Should be entertaining though...

So, judging from the two examples of gametypes given, I'm guessing that the new playlist, aside from the 6 vs 6 one, is some sort of single-weapon playlist, where everyone starts with the same gun/s.

EDIT: Didn't you say that you were removing another playlist too?

I'm guessing Head to Head... Halo 2 was never meant for one on one combat anyway... If you want proof, look at the size of the maps... the amount of power weapons on each map... etc. etc.

Keep your opinion for yourself, that might the experience you got from playing on your 56k modem but it's up to you to upgrade your connection. BTB is awesome and is the core of team work, you don't really sound like a player that enjoys losing so that would explain why your a BTB hater.

BUNGIE YOU GUYS -blam!-IIN SUCK -blam!-. YOU ARE -blam!- RETARDED, BIG TEAM IS HALO 2! THAT GAMETYPE MADE HALO2!



THERE R 2 KINDS OF H2 PLAYER. ONE WHICH PLAYS EVERYTHINGS BUT BIG TEAM COS THEY R RANK WHORES, AND THE PPL WHO JUST PLAY BIG TEAM NON STOP, EVENING IN A CATASTROPIC LOSING STREAK!

i wont bother quoting this a$$holes whole post because it speaks for its self when i say that this is the reason why bungie should remove kids like this. three pages he ttok up because he couldn't stop complaining WHENTHEY HAVEN'T MADE IT DEFINATE YET DUMBASS.and on top of that you r the first retard ive ever seen that acutually quoted himself. i swear i laughed my ass off when i read it beacause he didn't do it once but 5 times and i couldnt stop thiniking what an imature fool this kid is to quote himself on a statement bungie made even when they said it was only a possibility. If this is the kind of people playing BTB (rumple pit is my favorite) then by all means get rid of it along with all those people he quotedafter quoteing himself like a retard
If you want a good laugh people go to the bottom of page 9 ALL of 10 AND the first two on page 11. congrats dumbass your a comedian.

Hey you guys, what about Modders? Are they going to be able to play in matchmaking again or what? Are they still going to have all the mods on those maps when coverted? Will they still be banned? Any ANSWERS?

That's a good question. But then again, there is really nothing we CAN do. Just keep leaving cheating feedback on any modder you play against, even though they will just come back with another 2-month account.

What are you going to do about all the losers who well... keep killing themselves on purpose to de-level? I report them when I have a chance, but I don't know if it does any good. Is there a way to maybe boot them after say.. 5 suicides or so?

thats nice... not... no Star Wars: Battlefront (1 or 2), and no Splinter Cells... Bungie needs to make Halo 1 an XBL compatible game, even if theres no matchmaking, playing it on XBC is just getting annoying.

Not sure what happened to the update but something has clearly gone awry. Not sure what the status is or what the ETA is for getting it fixed. :(

Regarding the BTB stuff.... head over to Optimatch for plenty of threads to celebrate or rage.

And please keep in mind that we haven't finalized this playlist yet. You can't read it now but the update says that - it's NOT final. Based on the scope of the reactions we're getting we will definitely be discussing this again so please don't get too worked up just yet.


alrite guys u made ur point. Big Team Battle going away is not a good idea. But just for the record, BUNGIE SAID THAT THE DECISION WASNT FINAL. they said that on the fourth page of this forum. So simmer down. And stop telling Bungie that they suck.



this post that i put on the 9th page still stands. and i quoted sketch from the 4th page. this is the 13th page. guys, BTB is probably going to stay. calm down

So only people that like to lose like Big Team Battle???

Your logic is quite confusing.

Mad Max 77 if all you are going to do is post -blam!- that tries to make other people look stupid, u need to get the -blam!- off the forums. All you have done is quote people that are upset about the possible loss of big team battle and tried to make them look stupid when in reality, ur just making yourself look like a cheesedick.


Hey, slow up there. I by no means post solely to make others look stupid. What I DO in fact do though, is try to put things in perspective. If someone is going to be irrational and type curse words in all caps, throwing obscenities at people who have worked tirelessly for many years to no only create, but to continuously better, an amazing game, then I will put them in their place. Why would I need to make him look stupid? Did you read his most recent post where he turns his irrationality and anger on me? That makes him look plenty stupid enough.

I am by no means a forum troll, and I don't take kindly to being called one.

"I'm happy to say that we're going to leave BTB as it stands for the time being. Before our next update we'll be taking a hard look at everything again and we will continue to make changes that we feel are necessary for the greater good of all players. For now, Big Team Battle will exist as a 16 player ranked playlist with your existing ranks intact"

Unranked?! Are some of you blind? Man, all some people seem to know how to do is whine. I agree that h2h seems like a more likely candidate for deletion, but I'm amazed how many people -blam!- and whine and complain and scream, "I hate you, Bungie! I hate you!" Grow the hell up.
