This is the best news of my day! thanks a bungie!
GLOBAL CHANGES = A+
RUMBLE PIT = gonna miss objectives, but they are weighted higher in training so.....
thank God duals is gone.
RUMBLE TRAINING = good idea with the objectives, its a great way to train your halo "multi-tasking skills"
DOUBLE TEAM = A+++++
TEAM SLAYER = didnt even know team rockets existed
TEAM TRAINING = plasma wars on lockout will be nice
TEAM SNIPERS = NO!! WATERWORKS!! we hardly knew yee.... and i thought elongation was fun for snipers too
TEAM HARDCORE = is there something that im missing with elongation?? i like it alot, esp. with the BR. Thanks for the multi flag change, though it did require more strategy.
6v6 TEAM BATTLE = GREAT, 6v6 to 50 was like, a 3 minute game
MULTI-TEAM = same as team training
CLANMATCH = I like snipers, but i dont play many clanmatches so....
TEAM ACTIONSACK = shotgun games were, seriously like 50% of the games, which i loved, but no other weighting changes were made (raising) so it will be interesting to see what games i get. Pit Of Joy did need to be longer, it is fun too. Laser blasters on lockout will be teats.
Well im gonna go play rumble hardcore.

omg the changes u made are amazing
i always hated team duals and finnaly it was taken out
i also hated backwash which finally u guys realized that it stinks horribly
i liked team snipers on hardcore b/c of the br as secondary but i can live without
no duals weapon set thats amazing
one of the best changes is the 100 score to win in 6v6 the games went fast and i barely played it but now i will play itall the time
everything is amazing nice job

ur rating from me: 2 enthusiastic thumbs up, 5 stars, A++++++++++++++++++

OH HE LLS YES! I played a little on lunch, but I never even noticed the changes! crapola, that would have seriously made my day! I will be on soon to totally own @ Rumble Hardcore. So don't play it for the next little bit if you want to keep your level.

fair warning.

Zerogreenchief is eh pretty cool guy, eh trolls people and doesn't afraid of anything.

NO this is probably the worst matchmaking update everrrrrrr.

You took Water works and Containment out of Team Snipers WHATS WRONG WITH YOU!!!! Whats teh point in sniping if you cant get decent cover and large open areas thats the point of sniping. I HATE sniping in small confined maps

Oh and on a personnal gripe I cant believe you took Foundation out of Slayer WHHYY that was like my faveorite map

What. the . -BLAM-!?!? why not put in Backwash as it's own Playlist? that'd be interesting.


Because backwash sucks and nobody likes it. Theres a reason they dumped it you know.

You're an idiot, this is the best update they have ever done. Foundation was pointless, and waterworks and containment are too big for 4v4; even for snipers. Zanzibar, Headlong, Colossus and Relic are about as big as it should ever get.

If you wanna whore the turrets on foundation then go play a custom. That kind of garbage should never be ranked play.

What does "Big Team Battle will no longer use large squad restrictions" mean? Could someone that knows please tell us all?

PS...I loved the shotty games in Team Action Sack, very disappointed with this update. You should have also given Zanzibar to the Team Action Sack playlist and back to BTB and weighted it much more heavily for 6v6/Team Skirmish. I really miss Zanzibar, I rarely ever get it in MM these days.

Also...I'm so glad that Ninja0nFire takes the time to answer his PMs or forward them to the appropriate people/places....(I shouldn't have to say this, but this is me being sarcastic).

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

..I was talking about how I love the objective games on Rumble Pit an hour before the update. Oh well, I'm not going to bawl and start a halo2sucks website.

you took out Damage resistanace on brutality actionsack? Not a good deal, because the extra resistance made for intense gaming.

I did notice tha pit of joy was way longer, and I was just saying, as we were in the lobby, that p of j is quick. It wasn't.

The rest of the changes will be interesting.

I need a weapon.

i cant believe they took containment of team snipers and waterworks! I loved those! other than that, im glad they took rockets out of team slayer because that was stupid, nad everything else seems good

This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, ......you may call me V.

I commend you Bungie. Great Job!!!

"what does it mean large squad restrictions mean"

It means that, used to, if you went in to BTB with a party of, say, 6 people, you'd get matched with another group of people in an equal sized party every time.

Now with that gone, you and your buddies in a large party can go in and get matched up with 8 random people not in a party.

and

Good job on the update. I can't wait to play some Rumble Hardcore.

i guess with a team snipers playlist team snipers isnt good enough for any other playlist anymore.

Nice, and thanks for the update, I like that big team isn't going to be so picky with levels when in pregame lobby, quicker loading, nice !

But wait, what kind of backgound is that behind the picture, I have never seen it before in any screenshots or wallpapers..........usually the pictures backgrounds are from the game or just cartoon, but that looks like it was from the game, but not any level that I have played . . . . . . . . . . .
