It needs more maps, that's the only problem to me. Currently it's only 3 maps, becuase it's so unlikely to find enough people with the other maps.

I had to read six pages of praising and criticizing, looking for a decent input towards this thread. ZOMG, an idea worth testing... Flaws include: Dispersion of the H3 community... another pointless playlist. why distract more people from the heroic DLC. Ranked matches prove the laggity lag lag wins, if you can see 100% of the game, without people teleporting behind and assassinating you; eventually you will mot get turned off playing this unforgiving playlist, I have lost hope. Not enough people will play it. why do i always play Lone wolves... no friends, of course not. I am always guaranteed a game and its a true form of skill (or lag)... if i do have a friend online, ranked doubles. I live in Australia, and I receive laggy Asian gamers that i cannot communicate with (I even put in language filters to avoid them); let alone American and Euro gamers that kill the experience through lag. Bonus include: No more n00bs... enough said. put them in their place... like seriously i am average, and i pull +15 k/d spread on social BTB... and come 3rd in my team!!! WTF mate. I did not mention BR because of its neutral-ness in this situation. Like it does give skilled gamers advantages and all. But where is the skill in trying to get this weapons, try and find the ultimate mid-range 3-round burst weapon... no, wait... press Y. Better still its my primary weapon press Y to get the AR. Oh yeah... a MATCHMAKING BUNGIE FAVOURITE PLAYLIST (or Most Played/Popular) or something along those lines so that Custom Games are matchmake-able by randoms across the globe. I love playing games such as Grifball against casual gamers that i haven't met proper, its fun. And a Forge playlist would be awesome too, for Match-making. Replacing unused game list via, new popular ones. I payed 16 odd dollars for a playlist no-one plays... wtf...' Anyways here is my yarn, catch yas on H3. [Edited on 02.01.2008 9:08 AM PST]

Here's what I think Bungie needs to do, shortly before the release of the next DLC: 1. Destroy Rumble Pit. 2. Add Juggernaut to Lone Wolves 3. Destroy Rocket Race 4. Add a Grifball/Soccer Playlist. (and maybe make up something else "sporty"?) 5. Start assassinating CoD4 addicts.
-
lag = no fun
-
The game doesn't work well enough in a WAN with 12, let alone 16 for Ranked. Hope you're keeping it non Ranked also.
-
Awesome! Covies ruins it for me though. I hate Covies. But good job Bungie.
-
wicked update! love BTB and cant wait to try it out!
-
Hooray, hopefully this will mean more balanced matches (when the good guys rank up and f off that is!)
-
We need more of a chance for multi flag or 1 sided ctf! I have played 20 games and I haven't got one of the ctf type variants left
-
I've got to try this when i get home! Thanks Bungie!
-
Lmao, I logged on last night and saw this. AWESOME! Its just a shame that a load of fools with terrible connections were playing. I usually get pretty good games in unranked BTB so to get such laggy games was a little disapointing. I'll just preference good connection in future for this playlist.
-
Valhalla Covies reminds me of old Halo. Its about time. I'd still like to see a map that properly supported the scorpion....
-
i just now was starting a game and all of a sudden it took me back to the searching like there was never a game
-
has anyone had like really bad lag in the game like ever game i get into its all lag lag lag lag lag lag all of it and its worst then reg. lag

Bungie have already recognized the Glitch and are fixing it. ;) [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CARDO 8 Possible playlist problem... Last Resort Territories consists of FIVE rounds as opposed to FOUR. I played against a BLUE team - we played two 'innings'. Of course the blue team (I was Red) started on offense. After four, two-minute rounds a [u]fifth[/u] round was started and completed. At the end of two "innings" (end of normal territories game), the score was 7-5. My enemy captured one territory during the extra round but at the end of the game the score remained 7-5 (instead of 7-6) I have the game video to prove it. Has anyone else had this happen?

Finally it's here. Shame there are still a lot of quitters. First game 3 people on my team drop out, still it was goooood.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Druid Wolf 32 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Kap4310 now all we need is Grfiball in Social playlist and that might get people to stop playing CoD4[/quote]HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *breathes* HAHAHAHAHA Oh, that was a good one. You got me there.
-
of course they took out team tactical, the other night there was a 100 people! No one plays lit.
-
How could you do this Bungie? And how can all you tards be saying this is good!? They got rid of Team Tactical to put this total crap BTB Ranked up. Now where are we supposed to play sniper games??? Aside from the occasional shotty snipers (which blow because there's shotties.) there are no straight up sniper games. And you decide to replace our beloved sniper games with laggy, nubed up, awful BTB!? Not only that, but it's on ranked AND unranked. It's total bull, not cool. BRING SNIPERS BACK!

yay except that I went to play today and every match was Covies. and laggy. blegh. [Edited on 01.31.2008 9:42 PM PST]
-
thank you bungie, finally some variety to Ranked, we all know whats going to happen after this, Lone wolves population less than 500, TS less than 500, Team Objective, less than 500, Team tactical hardcore and control, less than 500, ranked BTB. over 50 000
-
well said well said i couldnt say it better myself.
-
i agree, y did they have to get rid of tactical. if they are goin to add something that just about everyone likes, PUT IN TEAM SNIPES!!! not btb ranked. its too.....newbish. [Edited on 01.31.2008 8:35 PM PST]
