What is is about Splinter Cell games? Come they on XBox 360?

And the Mechassult 2: Lone Wulf?

I hope they coming on XBox 360!

so big team battle is not worthy of being ranked anymore? thanks bungie, you continually find ways to dissapoint me!
btb is the very essence of teamwork, and in my opinion should be the only rank that matters.
oh and another thing, since were removing things from the game that people dont care about, how about removing plasma rifle starts, waterworks( thats right its the most ridiculous map besides chiron), making taem hardcore 90% objective based ( thus eliminating skirmish ), and team snipers on backwash, i think a hefty percentage of players would agree with me on that.
if you seriously think making btb unranked is going to improve the gametype for anyone, you are mistaken, it will become another meaningless gametype in which people quit for any little reason, and take as much interest in as i do on the aforementioned team snipers on backwash(none), and it will be an insult to those who excelled at btb in the past, having to fight teams with 30% guests, and noobs, all of whom will probably quit after they dont get the sniper rifle, or they get owned before five minutes is up.
im sorry if myself and others complain about this, but did we not all buy the game, the games sequel, the expansion pack,and xbox live? i think you should stop taking things away, things i worked extremely hard for.

your opinion is valid, and i will not make light of it, except to say, why do you care if its gone or not? you never played it, and enjoyed it, so why thank your god that its gone? its not like your halo 2 experience will improve because of it?

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.


BUNGIE -blam!- YOU!


You guys say that this is your favorite playlist yet you haven't played a single game of Big Team Battle for over 3 weeks?! That doesn't make a lot of sense. That is the reason that they are getting rid of it. For most, Big Team Battle is novelty and not taken very seriously. For that reason, why is it not logical to make it unranked and allow guests to boost the number of players. If you really wanted to keep it, I would think you would play it a little bit more to show Bungie that people really love it. Action is stronger than words they say. :)

P.S. If you are only mad because you will lose your *gasp* level 39, then you are pathetic. Play the playlist if you love it, don't just -blam!- on a forum.

Btb is the coolest gametype there is on xbl. who the heck would take that and put lame @$$ guests in? they always quit and people quit because they dont loose their level. 6 on 6?
you need 4 for def and 4 for off definately. why not keep it and make it unranked too? the times it lags for me is when people stand by. thats it. o m g bungie you do some dumb things and dont think about re setting the ranks because there are too many legits. if you re set them when 360 is out you will have a third or more people online quit including me and everyone on my friends list. bungie you reeeeeaaaalllllllyyyyyy suck!!!!!!!!!1


Yes, I'm sure Bungie is really threatened when you say that you and the rest of your friends list will quit if they reset the ranks. That will totally affect whether or not they do it.

Also you are quite the tactition. You are really winning Bungie's vote by telling them they suck. Keep up the good work.

By far, the most fun I've ever had was getting 7-8 of my friends and just playing BTB all night long. Making it unranked ruins the experience for 3 reaons-
1) Have to play guests, not as hard, generally.
2) Always the potiental to get split up, which is never any fun to play against your friends game after game
3) I see more betraying and goofing around in unranked games (go figure?). I'm not innocent of it, but with 16 people instead of 8 in an unranked game, theres twice the potiental, right?
Sigh...

wow kid, you just made yourself look like an idiot. JUst think about how hard it is to get games at a 39? WE have to set up games to get them so i cant play btb like you others do with like 600 games. I love btb and your telling me not to stick up for the only playlist i dont get modded or standbyed in? -blam!- you kid. Your pathetic for quoting me saying im pathetic. Get a life -blam!-. And hey if your above a 31 in btb get a party of 5 so i can get closer to my 40 -blam!-.

I am a Floodian

wait big team. (insert darth vader yell here) NOOOOOOOO!!!. that is my highest rank, thank you bungie for knocking me down 6 levels! Look I love that playlists, okay if you have a bad connection DONT PLAY IT. I have problems with it sometimes, but 1 out of 8 games isnt that bad. i have about the same with everyother gametype if not worse.

so let me get this straight bungie you are pretty much just making it slayer games now, besides skirmish.

everything is weighted that way now, I want my ctf, and even assault sometimes. I am sick of EVERY TIME I enter a party they all say LETS PLAY TEAM SLAYER.

sry but I need to vent, i really love that list, it is so much fun. besides the unranked one is not the same bungie, what is wrong with you, how can it be the same in any way. you loose about half you team to guests, so you cant tell them what to do, and to stop killing their own teamates.

thank you bungie for just allowing us to have to deal with twice as many jerks who dont care, especially those of us who like BTB

i agree with empire big team is hard 2 get a 39 in im a 37 n thats hard 2 but for u 2 take it away wen its not even close 2 the least popular game type, thats just stupi, iv cn ppl with like 5000 games of big team played, the most o anything else iv cn is like 1600 -blam!- u bungie ur so -blam!- SUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 11.12.2005 10:48 AM PDT

thank you. Bungie, do YOU just not like this game, or do people not like this game. I like it so much. Everyone thinks that slayer should be your highest rank, which makes no sense, why do you want to prove that you can yell at people for "stealing kills" the most. big team forces you to work with many people you havent met before as a team to plant a bomb or steal a flag. that is what halo was about btb.

ARG I do not want it to leave, it may be one of the best gametypes.

I just looked at the halo by the numbers report and it shows the btb isnt the lowest rank

now why then is it getting removed, when both rumble pit and head to head are lower.

Yeah I forgot that BUNGIE likes those game so much, and yet, not many other people do. hm...

I am pleased with all of the news, I get modded too often on BTB to make me fret about a rank. I look forward to the 6v6.. Usually in a 8v8 you're stuck w/ 1 or 2 people that aren't any good anyways, so this is a good way to "cut the fat" out of a good game, and a great way to reduce lag by shrinking the size of the players.
