Halo 3 Matchmaking Playlist Changes

Some pretty extreme changes....

RBTB is finally gone... It was inevitable, but I still don't like it.

Squad Battle sounds interesting though...
And Head to Head is gone... I never even played in it.

Carbines on SWAT is gonna help.

I don't see why they put in the option to take shield doors out of Snowbound... But I can see why they done so with Epitaph.

I wonder what's going to be so special about it, apart from being 6v6....

Does it need anything more?!

It will basically be Big team battle but finding a team will be quicker. Plus, they can use some smaller maps that were too big for 16 players, but you can still have some pretty big firefights.

Yeah, kinda sucks that BTB and RBTB is gone. But they are replacing it with DLC BTB, which makes up for it. I love the map Avalanche, and I'm looking forward to it. I also like how they reduced shield doors in Snowbound and Epitaph.

It makes the maps more fair, I hate it when someone camps with a shotgun behind a shield door.

I like the changes, and I'm glad the BR (Battle Rifle) won' be changed.

Did I read that correctly! The took away Big Team Social!?!?!?!? Well I guess I am never playing again. Oh well there is always COD4.

For me, big team social was like Free-For-All, except you have 3 more people trying to kill you.

P.S: I'm back, sorry I didn't log on to UESP at all, I was too busy getting my fill of Halo 3. I probably won't be playing that for a while....

There is still the 'substitute', it probably won't be as good but still fun.

And if you have all the DLCs you can play the same game on those maps.

It never loaded, 5 minutes went by and it didn't load.

Bungie's site was down for a while yesterday... I think.

Anyway, rather than get into the habit of starting a new thread for every Halo weekly update I thought I'd just use this one (Then probably start another when something interesting comes out).
Pictures of Assembly!
I really wish I lived in Seattle.

Just so you know there's no info on release dates or anything.
