I am really frustrated at the new updates for BTB its like they took the filter off that pairs big parties vs big parties. now its so ridiculous every other game its always a party of 8 vs 8 single players, it gets so one sided its ridiculous. What happened when it would pair big parties vs big parties? Because of this I've heard some people say they need a new FPS game. Also I just realized in halo 3 they used to keep track of how many betrayals you had, I think they need to bring this back so they can ban people who betray there team members just because they beat them to a gun or vehicle. Hope something is done about these quirks.

Its unlikely two parties of 8 are playing at the same time. Even if there was, a party of 8 would rather play a bunch of 8 randoms because most likely they'll win.

Parties usually consists a group of freinds (usually everyone above average) while 8 randoms, theres going to be like 1-2 good players who carry the team, 1-3 terrible players, and the rest average.

Parties 90% of the time win.

Wait...there were full party restrictions before the update? What BTB have I been playing?

There's never been a search filter in BTB what matches teams.. It's always been whoever is searching vs. whoever is searching and most of the time it's a full party vs. randoms. Usually people who play BTB in teams have lots of friends playing BTB as well and if one party sees another party searching they will most likely wait to search so they wont get matched up against another team and go against randoms.

Solution to your problem? Make friends and always go in with a full party.

Yes there was about 3 months ago n farther back, it would always pair up parties vs parties of similar size they even said it in one of the updates. but i noticed its been gone since last months TU.

Not necessarily. I play a lot of Grifball, and although going without a team is suicide, most of my Grifball team has 50% or more Australian BTB players on their list.

New Zealand is pretty much the best place in the world.

thanks for the info Tsujen i thought they did it for all playlist not just one. Also then what about bulltrues from what I've seen they are pointless since most of the time you still die.

  • 03.10.2012 9:42 AM PDT

The problem here is a lack of TrueSkill.

Anyone who claims the AR takes skill ought to shoot himself in the head. Preferably with the AR because they'll most likely miss with any other weapon.

Sadly, it's still this way, but I feel like they match us with higher ranks like forerunners and people like that. Not as if it helps a lot, but know people kind of know what they're doing.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

He's our resident Mongoose pro. He has a perfect 1v1 record.

lol.


The lack of any sort of trueskill is the big problem honestly.
