Yes those people are idiots , but we are able to express how we feel about this playlist...and i choose to do so.

Most of all of what im saying is that this playlist doesnt take much skill. Sure , if you like blasting the crap out of people with rockets (no shield) go ahead play it. =) But hey , maybe some people want somthing new...not new as in Team Action Sack/Multi-Team but somthing els...

And for the person above ^^^ Go play with some friends...some "intelligent" people , and have a blast.

I love you Bungie, but to be honest, this was a terrible move. You see, Rumble Hardcore was great and original... but I fail to see a real difference between this and Team Actionsack (Team Actionsack is great, but we don't need TWO of them). Why replace such an original gametype with this?!

i honeslty thought rumble hardcore was fun except for the whole having a motion sensor on...but this caranage -blam!- is fun for the 1st 10 min then it just gets repeative. i like the whole idea of letting different people create playlist but if u want this to be successfull ur gonna have to change the setting often....ohhh and do not take out hardcore and dont even touch snipers just keep booting them modders

Appearently im not the only one that is extremely sick of this playlist and it is the second day. I mean, it was really fun. They you play it a second time and its like, "Hey didnt i just play this game?" Then someone is like, "No, it this one we still have the shottie/rocket launcher but we have to capture the flag instead of KotH." Then you play it a thirda time...and it the same 2 weapons but...wait, no but...it's the same thing!

I don't care about you guys adding a new gametype in there but you took out a good gametype that takes skill. I don't want to come on this forum busting your balls but taking rumble hardcore out and putting in this non-ranked gametype that really most of the games take no skill to play and really are not that challenging/fun. I don't think im the only one that H A T E S the fact that you took rumble hardcore out. All the new gametype is is a 6v6 version of team action sack so why couldn't you take team action sack out?

Fun fact: While these people tend to use the term leet, or "1337" to describe something elite (or really, really cool) it really means "I'm a dumbass who doesn't know how to write in English. Please kill me."

This is my opinion on each game in the playlist.

Sun King: Needs a lesser time to win, its too long, by the time three minutes on the clock is ticked up there are about 4 people left in the game from the accidental betrayals.

Crazy Otto:Makes no sense but is fun

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!:General all round good game


Shwatball:General all round good game. My favourite game in this playlist.

BC Shotties CTF:Fun but for some really strange reason it makes everyone betray,( i have no idea why)

Capture Madness:Its alright,not great,not bad

Chamb0 CTF:Good BUT,you ALWAYS get spawn killed and then the other team creams over they got a killamanjaro on 1 guy who spawns in the same place, non stop for about half the game. If it wasnt so spawn-kill-tastic it would be the best game on the playlist.

Tower of Power: Only fun if you start the game in the tower.Needs lots of smaller teams really(this is where you need 16 people for a fun game)

FAE:Quite simply the worst game i have ever played,This isn't a matchmaking game, this is more suited to the area of novelty custom games.

Base Jumping:Only good on Burial mounds,it becomes a sniperfest on any other map, which usually makes everyone shut up and start playing seriously,which you dont really want on this kinda playlist. Apart from that a good idea.

I like the playlist... I think that ShwatBall should have been ShwatLOWBall. It would have made it more fun. Thanks!

YES! I hated the game types I was playing yesterday in carnage but to day I finally got a game with shields and man was it fun. It was Capture Madness and one of my favorite variants now.

Being a big fan of BTB Skirmish my self, I also noticed that red team seems to always win on Flag Wars (or at least get to the flag first) not sure why though.

  • 08.24.2006 9:44 AM PDT

i hope this playlist has a short life, 6v6 is too many people for the games

God, what the hell is everyone -blam!-ing about?!?!?! This playlist is TEMPORARY. Geez, I might sympathise if it was permanent, but it isn't. Quit whining already,

  • 08.24.2006 5:44 PM PDT

Bungie Crew, I don't always like the playlists that come out and/or the individual gametypes within the playlists, but I always appreciate your efforts to keep Halo 2 (a game that is almost two years old) as fresh and exciting as the day I opened the shrinkwrap on the package.

A previous posting suggested that Team Carnage didn't replace Rumble Hardcore and why don't you just keep both. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe there is a limited number of playlists allowed and the only way to add a new playlist is to remove another. Is Team Carnage similar to Team Actionsack? Of course. But I don't think that's a bad thing. Having this playlist not only gives players ideas for their own custom games, but if a certain gametype is a hit, they can be incorporated into other playlists. This first round of games is what HBO likes. Not everyone will agree or like what they did, but I think this playlist offers an opportunity to appeal to many different player styles, even if that means some players will need to wait for the next update. I for one look forward to taking on what HBO has offered and look forward to seeing what the rest of the community throws at us. Thanks Bungie and thanks HBO. Good job.

my picture is black!

Yeah sounds fun if you like doing random customs for MM. but i rather have action sack gone and this in replace of it isntead of rumble hardcore, or at least have a few of the game types from rumble hardcore in rumble pit. Anyways just posting what i think! thanks bungie for the great game we all love!

or as i like to call it Base Jumping playlist.
FTW bungie, I played 11 games (yes i counted) and 8 of those 11 were the Base Jumping variant. 2 were Capture Madness. 1 was Crazy Otto, which everyone quit. Although I will give the playlist another go-around, I just became turned off rather quickly.

Secondly, why is everyone complaining about Rumble Hardcore? It was -blam!-ic / a get-shot-in-the-back-every-time-you-spawned-fest.

what i dont get about the play lists and when they update them is ... why get rid of one playlist and replace it ... does it matter how many playlists are there? i say leave them all and see which ones fall into non-use and then get rid of those. or ask people first or something.... its just stupid to do it this way.

That's a pretty common thing in almost all games. I must say it is a pretty good playlist but I don't really play enough Halo 2 anymore to enjoy it.

Team Carnage? GREAT playlist. GREAT idea. BAD gametypes. I joined before reading this to see what it was about, got Sun King on foundation, and just said "Wow." and quit as soon as I spawned. I'm glad I read this to find out ToP is in it to so I don't have to play it anymore.

I don't hate you Bungie, and I won't flame; I'll just do my part by not playing the playlist so the next set of gametypes for Team Carnage are more suited to my taste.

Wow, the fact that I can voice my opinion by not participating in something is simply astounding. Bungie's on to something, and they should give our government advice on a new electoral process. Heh.

Wow kid your a joke... u have no business ragging on kids for sucking. First of all ur a level 29 and half the kids on this website could probably beat you with their foot. Second of all this guy is just giving an idea for a playlist which is better than your doing you loser.
