YES!, WAY TO GO BUNGIE, Thank you so much for changing BTB up a bit, I always thought that it was too laggy for 16 players anyway, but with 12 players it's perfect or is the "sweet spot" as you said it's smack dab right in the mid of little lag and just enough players for a big game. Thank you bungie again for this change, I feel that alot of people will get used to it eventually and like it better anyway. Can't wait to play it Bungie; keep up the good work!

BTB was my favorite playlist, but I'm thinking 6 v 6 might be even better.
In 8 v 8, there's always at least two people who don't do anything anyway, so it'll be about the same experience.

Personally, I think Bungie made a good decision in adding th 6v6 playlist and making BTB into an unranked playlist. BTB has been really laggy lately and it takes the fun out off it. I don't know why that it though; BTB used ton e lag free. Anyway 6v6 should reduce the lag and it may even be better because some 1 flag or 1 bomb game are almost impossible to score in and almost always end in a tie. It is just to hard to attack a base with 8 people even if you and all your teammate attack it at once (which is rare) because the defenders always have the upper hand in knowing where you are attacking from when you don't know where all of them are hidden throughout the base. To make it short, good decision Bungie.

im looking foreward to it. I was also looking at another post that complained against matchmaking, i do somewhat agree with him after tonights events on Live. But BTB is still a hit between everyone i know, now its just modders/laggers/hakzorz ect. and slayer is turning into the same....

its no longer fun no more

no big team you guys are lucky I leveled down i was a 36 in big team I went down due to me wanting to play lower levels and to get away from modders and standbyers, but I loved big team and less talking with -blam!- guests who ask how do I shoot to there friends, and cant talk to out team, what about containment where's that going its too freaking huge for a 6v6 playlist and it will now be in this unranked big team which is sad not to keep big team battle ranked, not very happy :( get rid of head to head how in hell is that even popular that sucks, no radar boring no fun and on foundation the hore the rockets, not even fun destroy head to head not big team.

Bungie, you are now known for the biggest -blam!-en idiots ever. Im so -blam!- mad righ tnow that your getting rid of btb for some -blam!- ass -blam!- for guests? Im a -blam!- 39 legit in btb and ive worked had for it. THis is my last night of halo 2 because of your -blam!- stupid actions. You will now notice a large supply of people quitting. How can you be so -blam!- stupid? God damnit im so mad.

OMG

Stosh <3's me vicariously... at least someone does...

not big team! It was our last haven from noobs and jerks... :'(
You're turning our fun into a laggy team training game!
I have supported Bungie on every past action but this just sucks!
The people who said btb sucked didn't know strategy or how to be a team!
You have given in to the jerks Bungie. And left those who pursuit fun to suffer...

Yeah I know, I was just about to post that

All I can tell is that BTB is no more, and a new 6 on 6 will be unveiled

When is the playlist update?

Thanks for the update. It was a good one.

Too bad about the old 8 v 8 BTB playlist. It was my favorite game.

I find it interesting that the new 8V8 BTB will feature a variety of objective game types with a little more weight given to Team Slayer. Wondering if the "variety of objective game types" is something we haven't seen before or is it the same old thing. I am assuming that it is an 8 v 8 playlist that will allow guests. This new playlist could last a little longer than the unranked BTB (the guests not allowed playlist) but will eventually die a slow death as the newness wears off and the guest realized just how bad the lag was for the original BTB (now unranked).

Bungie said the old 8v8 BTB will now be unranked. I doubt it will be around much longer. I give it until the next update. Then it will be gone do to even less play time.

The new 5v5 or 6v6 BTB will be the new BTB standard and could be around for a long time if does not turn out to be to boring (due to the huge size of the maps that it will most likely be played on).

A big thanks to everyone for their support to save the existing BTB. We tried.

Man, this sounds so depressing. Cheer up everyone. It will all work out in the end.

Later, dave.

Skin Cancer is the #1 killer of Halo players worldwide.

i'm pissed... just got my 34 in big team battle today, was hoping Head to Head was being taken off since it's 80% cheaters, haven't been in a laggy Big Team Game in months, but ooooooh well, Bungie is retarded afterall, I should've realized that the only playlist I can still get games in every 10 minutes or so (since everyone quit playing everything else with the removal of the leaderboards and I'm higher ranked than 95% of the people still playing out there) was gonna be taken off and I was going to have to start over on all the hundreds of games where I carried my team over the summer to achieve my rank. Oh well, maybe parties of 6 will play this new playlist so I won't have to play with only 1 person I know and risk having retards on my team. I hope Bungie won't absolutely screw this new thing up like they do most of their little projects.

PS - I'll have lots of fun seeing half the kids in the new big team training list quit out 10 seconds into the game after they see my rank, in other words, I'll need a lower-ranked account to make people stay at least for the first minute, thanks for making it unranked Bungie, Matchmaking is now even more pointless for good players, time for customs.

btb is the only thing i dident get cheated in, yet they are so dumb as to getting rid of it and keeping ts?! Get rid of your -blam!- ass multi-team and your -blam!- team training. Who should you care more about someones guest(think..they didnet even buy the game nor do they have xbl ) or the people who actually bought your -blam!- ass game and have xbl? But the people who work for bungie are just so -blam!- stupid they like the guest more. And let me say that the only peopl ei see with guest are -blam!- level 20's who can barely pic up their god damn controller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I happen to get cheated in btb 15th game, but it's one of my favourite matchmaking playlists. O well you can't have it all. Bungie is always trying to make Halo 2 this best game on live and so far they have done a great job, and is thier game anyway so just let them do what they please.
