Extra damage with shotguns should be on to help with the host issue. We seriously need Swat snipers. No shields with either both snipers or sniper/BR combo starting weapons. :)

I think that Bungie took Rumble Hardcore out of Matchmaking because very few people played it, and it would be illogical to keep a playlist that isn't played very often.

Apart from Power of Tower, this playlist as a whole includes gametypes that are definitely exciting. Looks like I'll be playing this a whole lot more than my 2 new favorites - SWAT and BTB Slayer.

I'm telling you, multiplayer design team - hiding the rank (unranked lists) definitely keeps me playing tons and tons of Halo 2 matchmaking, ignoring any and all my 360 games. Perhaps Halo 3 should not have a visible rank.

I just wanna say congratulations to the HBO folk that compiled this list for Ninja On Fire. Nice job!

The most long-awaited event of August of 2006 has happened! Now, I'm not talking about the release of "The Cheetah Girls 2", I'm talking about the latest playlist update!

I played quite a few games of it, and it was fun. I really like how it is 6 versus 6 because when you have a party of five you don't want to just go into Big team battle with only five people you know? So. I really like this playlist. HBO is a large Halo 2 community and they put out their games and they're awesome! I look forward to using this playlist in the following season, and to seeing these become widespread in custom games after it's turn is over, and I wonder what the next Halo community will be.

When I played this playlist, it almost felt like I was at a real LAN party. If I ever find myself in a party of 12 players, and the party leader is taking requests, I'll say "Team Carnage!".

It's certainly an interesting playlist - I haven't played all of the gametypes yet, but it's really keeping me on my toes. The only one I have any real issue with is Sun King, but that's just because of the lag you tend to get in rockets only games.

I know a lot of people are -blam!-ing about this, Bungie. Not so much the fact we have a new playlist, as the fact that Rumble Hardcore was removed. I only ever played it a few times and found it to be pretty awful - still, to each their own.

I've always been one of those folks that plays Halo 2 for fun, win or lose. Obviously, I prefer winning, but it doesn't break my heart if I lose. And I'd certainly never blame my team or my friends. This playlist has brought a lot of the fun back, and I get a very good feeling we'll be playing it a lot in the future.

Yeah, Rumble Hardcore has gone. I know a lot of you don't like that. I didn't like it when they removed 6v6, but that's just life, and I got over it. And besides, you talk about these gametypes being for folks without skill.... the truly skillful will be flexible enough to alter their tactics to get wins, and will enjoy a fresh challenge.

And, for the truly stubborn and obnoxious, you can still play your custom games. Or maybe even quit Halo 2. Fact is, you already bought the game - Bungie already made their money out of you. You quitting makes no difference to them whatsoever - it's just yourself you're slapping in the face.

I am not going to flame but I hate this playlist. Don't get me wrong I love team swat and rocket games are fun, but almost all the games are no shield rockets you spend more time in the respawn than you do playing. Oddball with rockets is kind of hard because when you pick up the ball you are hit with rockets, but when you take off shields it is just stupid.

Now Rumble Hardcore is hard, I do pretty badly. But when you enter rumble hardcore you know you are going to be having some BR action with normal settings. Now many hardcore MLGers will flame at this new playlist because it is a little lame. Action Sack has some pretty skill-less games but they are fun and you have a shield. In Cargnage all you do is shoot a rocket anywhere and get a kill, or shoot it into an area where there is usually guys and boom killtacular.

Bungie,

Team Carnage is fun. I like it.
Rumble Hardcore is fun. I like it.

Why can't we have both?

I have a lot of respect for you guys at Bungie. You all have made one of those few games that works it's way into the culture of a people. Halo: CE and Halo 2 redefined the first person shooter and expanded the video game as an artistic medium. You guys are good. Real good. Therefore, when I hear people complain about how Bungie messed up respawns or Bungie screwed up the power weapon system I tend to believe that you all had your justified reasons for doing things the way you did. In fact, more often than not, I agree with your decisions.
So I was just wondering why you dropped Rumble Hardcore. I want to believe you had good reason.

Sincerely,
Aisli

From what I've read, Team Carnage looks amazing. Plus, Rumble Hardcore was just too... intense. All you would have to know is BXR, BXB, double-shot, quad-shot, all of that and you could easiley win. Besides, I personally hate playing/fighting alone--it sucks.

I can't wait untill I have to play in some games that are up to 250... but I can't play right now, argh!!!!

Hey buddy, SWAT Classic w/ a Battle Rifle is the same. Just shoot into a spot with a lot of people, aim for the head, and bam!

I've gotten a KIllfrenzy so for with Swat. Blah, lol.

Yes but you said aim for the head, you don't realy have to aim at all when you have a rocket.

  • 08.22.2006 7:32 PM PDT
