Ranked Big Team Battle is Live in Halo 3

Posted by lukems at 1/31/2008 10:51 AM PST

This week, Ranked Big Team Battle arrives in Halo 3’s matchmaking playlists. This playlist is an eight versus eight playlist with a focus on Slayer and objective games. Like Halo 2's Big Team Battle, there is a tilt toward Slayer gametypes.

Here’s a quick and dirty breakdown of what gametypes, maps and rules have been incorporated into the first release of Ranked Big Team Battle.
Primary Weapon: Battle Rifle
Secondary Weapon: Assault Rifle
Gametypes: Team Slayer, Multi Flag CTF, One Flag CTF, Neutral Bomb Assault, One Bomb Assault, Territories
Maps: Last Resort, Standoff, Valhalla, Valhalla Covies, Rat’s Nest, Sandtrap, Sandtrap Covies

This hopper is live now.

This might be a nice change of pace from COD4. We can get a group of 8 for Halo 3 together with no problem.

That's awesome. My only question is, why the slant towards slayer? I mean, what makes BTB great is a larger group of people acting like a ... uh, TEAM.

If you're gonna make it slayer, why not call it BIB. Big Individual Battle. Because for 90% of the "teams" out there, Slayer isn't tactical. (I'm excluding Epyon from that statement, because Parcheesi is tactical when Epyon plays )

[KEEZY]

It is team slayer, Quobaby. No worries. Let's fire this bitch up tonight.

Gametypes: Team Slayer, Multi Flag CTF, One Flag CTF, Neutral Bomb Assault, One Bomb Assault, Territories

I am up for it. I will be on after Lost gets over so it wont be until 10:30 or 11pm est

[Epyon MX]

I'm in like Flynn. It's been too long since I've heard the "trat-trat-trat" of the BR.

And remember, push to scream!

I think Quo's point is that in most GP "team" matches, there's isnt' much teamwork involved, like the coordinations that exist in an objective based game.

[Quo]

Thank you Zoom. I r not so gud wit da wurdzez. That's exactly what I meant.

...and I'm whiney today.

I was thrown down the stairs once, but I should have know better than to mess with yellow cake.

I'll be up for some of this once Virgina gets a damn shipment of 360s.

[N0W IM N0THING]

I'll be in also....whenever I get my 360 back!

Did this ever go down last night? We were playing RB6 and waiting for people to put in their Halo discs, and we never saw anyone playing it.

[KEEZY]

I never got around to it. I felt like ish!

[supafreak]

I got on later than I thought and saw no one playing Halo 3. So I played some Assassins Creed instead.
