One game I'm not joking a little like 7 year old said and I quote " tell me what your dick looks like so I can imagine it in my head and beat off to it"

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

Amazing experience

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

Hell ya I loved ranked BTB. I miss playing BTB on containment, coagulation, and terminal. Those were the days.

Did you guys ever play in a BTB game where the other team hid the bomb or flag for a long time? Those were fun games, I played one that lasted close to 3 hours once.

Ah, true experience of sudden death. It's come and gone in Halo 3 and Halo Reach. :|

We had one long encounter at Headlong. So fun though.

I loved BTB and objective games in general in Halo 2. Sudden Death made the games more intense...in Halo 3 + Reach it's either too easy or too difficult to win the game, most of the time it ends in a tie.

This is when of the things i loved most about halo 2. ranked BTB (which is awesome) that and clan matches were soo much fun

Clan matches should return, they were great I agree.

Arrogant hyperbolic exclamations of woe? Seems like a normal day for Halo/Bungie.net.

Clan matches in Reach would suck because Reach's BTB sucks lol. Halo 2 had the funnest BTB, Halo 3 had the most balanced and best overall BTB, Reach's BTB is stupid because of maps like Paradiso and the bland color pallette. Reach needs more Tempest and Highlands and less Forge World and Anti-Vehicle Weapons to succeed in BTB.

It was absolutely amazing.

I remember being with my BTB clan, waiting ages for games. I was a level 35 or 36 so yeah...

Our highest guy was 37, we were quite proud of that. :D

I miss sudden death, the maps, just about everything.

If you havn't played Halo 2 online than you are missing so much. Plus if you have played a good amount of Halo 2 online, I might have a better chance of listening to anything you say.

ahhh, the day when I got a 31 in BTB Skirmish for the first time. What a day to celebrate that was. I even remember it was 1 bomb on Zanzibar. Even though we did terrible that game, we won and I got to a 31.

I remember when I got a 31 in BTB Skirmish also, but I hit a massive losing streak and lost it to a 24 within the next few days. In hindsight, going in solo in BTB wasn't a good idea.

I did not play with a team much. I liked taking my chances by going alone or with 1 other person because not many of my friends were interested in getting high in BTB Skirmish. I lost that 31 but I was able to get it back 2 or 3 more times after that until BTB Skirmish was removed. I think I wrote a hate letter to Bungie at school the day after. lol

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

Unfortunately I didn't get Xbox live until Halo 3 was in it's glory days, but I can only imagine how great BTB would have been.

Just think of BTB on great maps, both asymmetrical and symmetrical, and no single vehicle which can single handily dominate maps (Halo 3 - chaingun, Reach - Banshee).

Halo 3's BTB lacked because of poor maps; only Valhalla and Avalanche were anything decent. Plus the Laser almost made Valhalla one sided.

Halo Reach's BTB has been under utilized in playlist management, but supposedly it is getting overhauled. We'll see how this goes. It would've been nicer if at the Reach launch we had at least ONE unique BTB map.

Yeah, whereas Halo 2 had Headlong, Zanzibar, Waterworks and Coagulation.

Not to mention Relic, Terminal and Containment in map packs.

WHICH WERE MADE FREE AFTER A FEW MONTHS!!!

As for the launch, that's true but Tempest is one sexy map.

Tempest is smaller for BTB, but I love the map regardless.

Highlands is a great build.

Breakpoint is the best BTB map in Reach.

If you didn't Play Halo: CE or Halo 2 MP, your opinion about Halo means nada.

CE + H2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> H3+Reach+H4

hell yes!

I was a 41 at the highest point.

so many amazing 1 bomb, 1 flag, multi flag memories and those godly maps :D
