[Halo 2] Updated Playlists - Info from Bungie

[thunderclap8]

glad to see they're listening to the players!

I'm also surprised that most people would abandon CTF and such given the chance. Granted I hate assault for the most part, but CTF is my absolute favorite mode. It's the one where teamwork probably matters most.

I like that team slayer is on matchmaking, but I'll still play the various objective-oriented team games when teamed with my Beekeeper pals, since we tend to work well together and take care of our people a bit more.

I really don't like slayer games that much. I'd rather play CTF any day.

Well, most people would abandon cause they are tired of playing assault/CTF all the time! Some will come back to CTF/Assault after hours and hours of team slayer and everybody will live happily ever after!

Oh, and I think assault requires a lot of teamwork as well! The timer to activate the bomb is crucial, since even if you kill all the oponents, they will respawn nearby and they'll be coming for you!

ick, i really preffer CTF and other team orented games. team slayer is just like non team slayer only you dont (usualy) get to kill half the players on the field. I think that it is fun for some gamer tyeps but it limits those who enjoy more of the stratagy and team work. I would preffer it if Bungie kept useing their ideas for the game. I dont want to see one small pit with rockets and swords that we are all forced to play in for the joy of some 11 year old fanboy.

man, Bungie was right on the money when they said that Halo 2 would be groundbreaking for online multiplayer... I'd say they definitely spent the right amount of time developing this whole Xbox Live aspect to Halo 2... very very impressive... I even had a strong PC gamer say that they think Halo 2's online component (the process and theory behind it) is much better than any online PC game... (that's not referring to gameplay, just the process that gets you there)

Am I the only one that, once in a while, likes to just relax and kill people for a while?

And one thing I prefer Assault over CTF is that there's no rounds. You can be attacking and then suddenly have to adjust and start defending because you lost the bomb! Bomb possession is important! I guess I like them both!

If you are coming from a high angle above, the game will count it as a back-of-the-head hit, which of course, is autokill.

well let me rephrase my feelings on assault. I don't hate it exactly, instead I'm burned out on it after Live assigned it to me too many times in a row.

By far my favorite part of the update is the ability to have up to 8 people in your party and still be able to join a matchmade game... There are just certain nights I enjoy bashing random people with a few buddies, but it really sucks when you have a party that would do really well together, but it's made up of 6 people...
