I understand the flavor playlists, the reasoning behind consolidating or temporarily canning those is founded, but Team SWAT...I don't like it as a Ranked PL, but I honestly don't see the logic behind it and maybe I'm the first one to notice that NoF seemed to "cop-out" on his explanation as to why SWAT was going in the dumpster. Its cool with me, I'm not huge on SWAT, but it is popular...

Then again, on the other hand, I can understand pouring a popular playlist's game types into a different playlist to boost its population, the SWAT population has to go some where and if they want to play SWAT they'll be playing customs or end up in the Team Training playlist. And by pumping some of Team ActionSack's (by far my favorite playlist and I lament its imminent loss) games into Skirmish you do the same thing you did for Team Training.

No complaints, I guess, I just felt like I was receiving what could be comparable to a political cop-out.

I'm am extremely happy to see Team Swat be taken off of matchmaking. This will make more people play it in custom games where it is less likely to be modded.

I've read some things in my day...You're far more likely to be "modded" in a playlist where all you have to do is pull the trigger to kill someone.

Team SWAT must not go!!!!!! It is the only reason I still play halo anymore!

  • 11.17.2006 7:14 PM PDT

Here, go to this website and get your Halo clips recorded in HD for free.

.............so which playlists ARE staying?

I just got somewhere in Team SWAT and all goes down the drain.

Just like everything else in my life.

Oh well.

  • 11.17.2006 7:20 PM PDT

Will is everything.

Multi-Team, NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Lord, one of my fave playlists is leaving *sob*. Ninja on Fire I'm sorry to say my man, but you've made my wife pretty pissed off, ha. She loved Team SWAT and Multi-Team, as did I. Well I suppose you've got to do what you've got to do. Nice update; I'm getting totally psyched out for Halo 3 and Halo Wars. We definitely appreciate all the new info.

bungie r niec guy, he r dont do anything to u, he only gave away free beta codes is that so wrong? microsfot was all liek 'YO BUGNIE PUT UR COEDS INTO DIS BOX AND WE R PUT LOCK ON IT' and bungie was all like 'oooo okay :D' but little r bungie no, microsft r hav bad lock, and BADDD BADD people gots in and stole ALL beta codes D: now we dun has none left, if nething, blame microsoft 4 bad lockss and allow bad peoples to steel code

Great update, and thanks for taking SWAT out...does this mean my friend is a level 19 again because his SWAT level of 40 is now void? If so he can stop bragging like a jerk......Does this mean Mister Chief will have his head duct taped backed on and have to fight Scorpion from Mortal Kombat? I don't know how that makes any sense ...but...uhh...it'd be neat :-)

Actually, I had just discoverd Action Sack not to long ago and thought that it was great with all the game types, so I am sad to see it go. But the one I am most upset about is Team Swat, I was really starting to get into that. But hey, can't have what you want, and I hope that you bring it back Bungie. Thanks, Xnauth.

Nooo... Team Carnage is pretty much the only gametype I play... =(

BTB is boring because my brother is a pro (he's good enough to win tournaments) and he gets high and the players become too good for me. -.-

Team Carnage is fun because I tend to be the one pwning. =)

I know this is kinda random but i have to get this out. The main thing that i want is the inf. grenades feature for multiplayer that was in halo 1. It is complete carnage and i love it. I also think you should have some ground or air troop transport. It would be really cool to be able to fly a phantom, pelican, or even drive a spectre. LET ME USE THE WRAITH MINI GUNS!!! or at least have them be controlled by anither player. Make players able to ride on the tank treads again. i kno u shouldn't really need it but it makes it soo much easier because you can't be nocked off by the spinning turret.Make the shotgun have less dmg at close range and/or more at longer than currenty in halo 2. It just drops off too fast. Halo 3 also needs more player customability. We need to be able to make female characters....unless we are all masterchief instead of spartins in general.

That's cool, though I hope to see Multi-Team come back if it's going away for awhile. Multi-Team was great if you had 2 friends over or even a party of 3.

"a lone voice who thought the death screams were unneccessary?" (or something to that affect) Man, I shoulda said something because then we could be 2 lone voices together and I'd be in the Update Whoohoo!

I didn't say anything because you said you only wanted female opinions, but I might feel guilty about killing a girl, so maybe there could be the ability to turn the death yells off in Halo 3? It wouldnt' be that hard I hope!

I'm just wondering what version of bender that is, he does have two wrestling persona's. The great "Bender the Defender", and slightly commical "Gender Bender". It's going to be nice having some more Futurama episodes again.
