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.

I dont get how people get modded in btb, ive been modded in btb like 2 times! Why dont you just see if who ever you play with can hear their xbox making certain noises. If it makes alot of ticking noises its a new map, if it does one click its an old map. ITs so simple!

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.


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!-.





Dude.....your one of those people who really need to get out more...im not kidding. Halo and all other games are supposed to be fun, not taken like your second life. Oh big whoop, your losing your 39. So what. If your so good then go get it in some other playlist. And by the way, i play in all other playlists and rarely get standbyed or modded. Stop telling bungie they suck too. They might have listened to your whining but since your being irrational they are not even going to take the time to read your post.

Anyway good update Frankie. Can't wait for the new playlists, it was about time for a change.

Getting rid of big team is like saying the xbox can not handle 16 player games. It's like what a lot of people have already said here, halo 2 is all about team slayer and thats just rubbish.
working as a team,communicating,having fun is all about what BTB is and makes it so good.

Why take away the only 8 player ranked option? get rid of head to head instead. Thats all about who gets host and sucks.

What kind of future has the 360 got with 32+ players if the xbox cannot handle 16. The connection speeds will still be the same. I bought xbox live to play agaisnt lots of people, the 360's hype factor of 32+ is now just a joke

Dont remove BTB dont kill a lot of dreams.

I agree with Mr Megabucks!We shouldn't be telling Bungie that they SUCK since they made HALO in the first place!*the game you all know and luv* A LOT of things(sword lock on, auto aim, etc) in Halo2 bother me, but I still support Bungie all the way. I really want BTB to stay, but I'm not going to attack them for taking it away! * I will challenge them to a duel over it's fate however* Here's hoping all this feedback will make a difference. Oh and telling Frankie he sucks might cause some serious resentment! We might be punished with a quirky hamster sidekick in Halo 3 and the all new breakdancing covenant! I fear for the worst!

  • 11.12.2005 11:37 AM PDT

haha awesome post darkseal, breakdancing covenant....lol that i would like to see! :D

I don't think the forum is for petty little arguments...ok..Remember we are discussing Halo...not who's dad can beat up whom's! Consturctive criticism is one thing, telling Bungie they suck is another.Who made HALO? Not you! We already bought the update and we're stuck with it! We can't get our money back, but Bungie is still working hard trying to make things more enjoyable!

I dunno...if the grunts started wearing color coordinated jumpsuits...I would lose all faith in Halo.But maybe more girls would play...hmm..If the the master cheif turns out to be a backstreet boy......uggh!Bye Bye BYe!Oh crap I'm off subject!Btb is laggy at times but it's worth it. Also people don't seem to quit as often and they are usually good sports!There is a real sense of team spirit in those games. Guests need to play to..just not in my games! Thank you!

kid, your so -blam!- dumb. I do play more than halo and i do have better than a 39 in other things. So me being good at a game means i dont get out often? Your -blam!- stupid. When i play, i dont lose as much as you do so guess what, im a higher level. Your trying to suck up to frakie which is very sad, you did this in school too didnet you mr prep

BUNGIE!!!

Make a poll NOW. see how many people dont want it to go. you said it in your update that more people dont want it to go then the number of people who play it. People still playthat even though they like slayer better, it is one of the reasons I bought halo 2, to play with 16 people over the internet

Yes a poll is the best idea.

Let the public vote for which modes they want out, give a list of your 4 options ie team snipers, head to head, rumble pit and BTB and let us decided.

Heyyyyyy

Bungie, you should take a poll, considering how much crap every1s giving you for getting rid of big team battle. and as for every1 else, bungie said that their descision to remove the playlist wasn't final yet. They also said that the enormous amount of negative responses to the playlists removal will also be taken into consideration.

oh yeah i do have a question for Bungie, and i hope it gets answered in the next update
Did you guys put the halo 2 autoupdates on the 360 server so there won't be any swordflying or stuff like that on the new system?

P.S. 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.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

There is nothing wrong with Big Team Battle. Cheaters play all the playlists. Just because some people whine about cheating and lag doesn't mean you should ruin the fun of a small but faithful group of players.

To Bungie: there is still time to go back. Do not stick with the mistake of getting rid of Big Team Battle. People will respect the fact that you realized your error and admitted your wrong doing.

To the whiners: if Big Team Battle is so unbearable, then do not play it. Thanks for taking the fun out of halo for many of us.

Hey Guys, My BTB squad of around level 40s at BTB have all purchased Battlefield 2. The strategy and teamwork required are comparable. The game is incredible and cheaters do not exist. If you like BTB and bungie will not listen to us you have options. Try it out you will not regret it.

Thank GOD Digimon Rumble Arena is backward compatable! I dont know what I would have done without it!!!!


Yeah, what was with all that talk that "some" games were going to be backward compatiable? Pretty much all of them are. And isnt the 360 supposed to be the ultimate gamer machine? Then why the HECK is barbie on there? Its going to be a cold day in hell when a 360 sees a barbie game.

Bungie you never disappointed me before, never... but with that decision you make a big mistake... I love btb because this one is only the mode that stands for THE Halo2-Multiplayer-experience (the chaos in the battle and the masses of players...) - I can`t tell you how much phenomenal, funny and unbelievable moments I have experienced in this Mode, no other Mode rules like this...

PLEASE DON`T MAKE THIS ONE BIG MISTAKE...

yeah, microsoft needs to realize what games should be backwards compatable, whatever.

though as you can tell I am a big advocate of big team battle. The people want it to stay. In my earlier post I said how head to head and rumble pit are the lowest ones not big team battle. Now is it just me or am I the only one that thinks that it isnt a coincidence that frankie said in Halo: by the numbers that he likes rumble pit and head to head, or at least I think he said something along those lines

Thats retarded that big team is going because i just got a 33 in it legitly and that is hard

  • 11.12.2005 3:08 PM PDT

Damm it !, can`t a man have a biscuit !

Dont change BTB, it rocks.....we can get more friends together playing halo on the same team....
Maybe you should have put in the Pelican and Covenant dropship into BTB, halo fans would love to get to grips with that sort of troop deployment....of course you would need a suitably large terrain map, group of islands or one big island, plenty of bunkers and tunnels.
Halo dreams......
BTB should get more battle grounds to fight over.

Make BTB better!...not scrapped
