People called Romanes they go the house?

No u.
And Mike agrees with me.
While this would be interesting, I think Bungie is wary of including the other spartans in the main Halo series. See the beginning of 2, where there were at least 3 or 4 Spartan II's, if not more, that should have traveled back with the MC to Earth.....but for some reason, they're all mysteriously MIA.
It could be technical issues, such as planning out friendly AI that have shields and such, are supposed to be as accurate as the player, and as deadly....yet still follow his commands and such.
Or, it could be more aesthetic/story, the "last-man-standing" to fight taking precedent in the story to help immersion.

Read you loud and clear, General.Kibbles said:Zomg, Save Big Team Battle!
Need mawr BTB Avalanche, everyone play BTB like there is no tomorrow... starting tomorrow! ;p
Thermite ran me off the side of a cliff last night, I just wanted to bareback snipe, and he betrayed my trust. I never do those types of shenanigans. sadface
I was kind of hoping Social Slayer would go back up to 5, oh well, I'm sure if RBTB is retired they might introduce a 5-6 player ranked list or something.

Also, 1v1 sounds fun, 3 balls sounds like you should go to a doctor.
That's ironic, considering Ghost Town is asymmetrical and Avalanche is symmetrical.spermatic cord

Haha, what the fuck is bungie thinking? Also, more 1 flag Last Resort instead of fucking slayer !Striker said:
Consider the Ghost Town thing something of an experiment.
DLC Objective is in a weird position. 6v6 is not quite enough for a full Avalanche game, and a little more than you want for a full Ghost Town game.
Bottom line is it's not a significant increase in weighting, it's just an attempt to cope with a difficult situation. If it doesn't work out, it'll change in July.

For MLG I was hoping
-Min team size changed to 4 (3v3 doesn't exist in MLG and I hate it WAH)
Also I hope 1v1 is a 110% speed gametype even though I know in the back of my mind it probably isn't...

I think there is a very unlikely possibility of that happening. The core canon and the supplemental canon don't mix very often unless its a mentioning, dialogue or something to that effect. A lot of people felt like the other Spartans would return in Halo 3 and they were convinced that the new permutations were evidence for it, but it never happened. Why? The core canon is directed by Bungie the supplemental canon (although approved by Bungie) is largely extraneous. Very rarely will the two merge and when they do it will almost be imperceivable to most players.Nutter said:
The content I used in my article was non-material and did not deal with the characters or stories of the Ghosts novel, but the raw evidence supporting the Forerunner's shield worlds and what they held in terms of architecture and property. I was inclined to write this article because of the various things within Halo 3 which talked about these installations - the terminals, the bestiarum and most significantly, Guilty Spark.
Could the next game involve completely new characters, unrelated to the Master Chief and Cortana?
Sure thing.
Could the structure at the end of Halo 3 be something other than a shield world?
Of course it could.
Will the game involve something completely separate from the structure we saw in the Legendary ending?
I'm going to say "No" and the reason being is that I don't think Bungie would have placed that structure in the cinematic if it was just an incidental reference to the Forerunners. I feel like they did it on purpose and that purpose involves the next Halo game - regardless if the Chief takes center stage or not, this specific structure will play a very large role.

Thanks for the explanation. It makes a little more sense now. As we found out last night, 1-flag on ghost town is absolutely broken. No matter how good the defense is, the offense can spawn and inch the flag all the way to the base very easily.
Example: We had 28 flag stops that game, once they got it out the front door it was only wave after wave of them. We even went +59 that game yet still couldn't stop them. It seems to me the easy fix would be to just shorten the flag return time. Symmetrical Objective matches really don't work though, it's pretty unbalanced.
Hmm, never got the chance to play an objective game on it. I was hoping that if anything it would be multiflag (even though I don't know how that plays) because spawning wouldn't be as much on an issue. 6v6 in foundry seems pretty crowded though, especailly if everyone is rushing for the hill. I'm sure you guys... tested it though, so I won't knock it till I've tried it.Shishka said:
What I was really hoping for was a big team DLC and small team DLC playlist. There's enough maps that support 8v8 (Standoff, Rat's Nest, and Avalanche) and 4v4 would be great for Foundry, Ghost Town, Blackout, and standoff. Of course each playlist would have both objective and slayer games in it.
And what's the veto records for Covies and VIP?
I understand what you mean. 1-CTF and 1 Bomb would work better in Ghost Town for DLC Objective.Shishka said:
My complaint above is because I and my friends got Multi Flag on Ghost Town the other night. We were blue team and of course, vetoes do not work as you would think since 4 does not override the map. Why should the others veto? They get a HUGE helping hand. Please, please discard symmetrical game-types from Ghost Town in Team Objective. For DLC Objective, I don't mind, but for ranked... it's not balanced at all and it is basically a win hands down for red team.
Aye, friend! I support this idea!
DLC Major
5-8 players (Rat's Nest, Standoff, Avalanche)
DLC Minor
3-5 players (Standoff, Foundry, Ghost Town, Blackout)
And as you wrote, mix of Slayer and Objectives.

Can someone link me to that Forged Avalanche map that has a giant floating starship as a base?

THank you! <33!iSimon said:
I'm pretty excited about the changes in DLC and RBTB. The DLC Objective playlist will get a nice shot by having Rat's Nest and Standoff in the mix again (it's essentially been an Avalanche playlist for a while, which was a good thing). Ranked BTB will hopefully get a new life this month and people will discover the Heavy gametype variants. (Which I have yet to play.)
Really, the only option that I'll be missing is the ability to get 16 players on Avalanche outside of the very lucky occasion in RBTB. It's a hard problem to address, I know. Still, on the balance I think it's a good month for vehicular mayhem.
Also, if RBTB goes away, I hate all of you.
