I used to enjoy getting on Halo and playing matchmaking. That was when they had Rocket Race. Rocket Race was the playlist that showed that Halo isn't that serious; it can be fun and relaxed. For some dumb reason, Bungie decided to take away the community-loved playlist. Sure it'll be double-xp every once in a while. But now there are only playlists for those hardcore Halo players. Please post here ONE TIME ONLY and only to petition for the revival of the Rocket Race playlist. I will send this to Bungie countless times after at least 1,000 supporters until they decide to communicate back. FIGHT FOR ROCKET RACE!! Also, please link this to your signature so we can spread our message. To those of you that claim that it's removal is fine because it appears in double-xp ocassionally: The people that do double-xp are usually those who are obsessed with ranking up, aka the Halo nerds, so you lose that relaxed feeling. It would be so much simpler if Social Playlists did not give xp.
That was a double post... And it already is in matchmaking. Didn't they make it a double Exp Weekend for every blue moon?
If want rocket race so bad then just go to custom games and get a couple of people to play it with you. Its really that simple. OMGz I no right! :O
as much as it would be fun to have it brought back it does make sense why they took it away. First off matchmaking is mainly for competitive stuff. they have rocket race in double EXP because double EXP is usualy more of a relaxed and fun thing where you can also earn EXP. but is does occasionally appear in Multi-Team i believe. anyways if this does go through, im in.
Although it is in double xp, people too often take that seriously and are using it to rank up quickly. So you always get matched up with hardcore people who quit early if they are behind by like 2 points.
It was only missed by the majority of the population when it got taken away. If you love it so much, get a party together
I didn't like Rocket Race. And if you want to play it so bad there is great map Varients and Gametypes you can play in Custom Games found here on Forgehub.
Im in. I always loved playing rr. Why not have one more playlist? They could just put it back in and noone would be angry, but many people would be happy.
Rocket race was so much fun like when you need to get over something quick you have your partner shoot a rocket in the ground and it's something to do if you didn't warm up or can't shoot. So sign my name Blakem0n92 the 4th esquier to the Blakem0n fortune.
i agree with you it is for more "hardcore" Gamers than casual gamers but sosial playlists are never all that competitive anyway. If this goes through im in.
I definetly agree that RR should be brought back. It was all I played because I got bored of playing slayer or any mode. RR brought more laughter and enjoyment then any other playlist. Nothing like blasting yourself across the level to beat another team and hear them scream because they can't believe u just beat them to the target. I use to play halo a lot but became pissed once RR was removed and kinda stopped playing it, i just started playing it again recently but everytime i'm on it definetly saddens me because i can't play RR anymore.... and double xp is crap because it still is a rarity if it ever is the double xp weekend game. It needs to be there all the time. Definetly sign me up for it...ForsakenBum
sign me up, but don't get your hopes up. Just think of the millions of pleas for recon armor, nobody got it. Now think of the tiny amount of people compared to that that want RR back? See. It makes no sense. I personally will LMAO if bungie listens to the public input and decides to even bring it back as a double exp weekend more than once every two months. but for now, it's dead, face it.
I find rocket race annoying in multi-team. Bring it back in a playlist so I CAN play it when i actually WANT to And put brute burnout in there too for variety "Just think of the millions of pleas for recon armor" Excuse me?I'll bet they just randomly went "Hay guys lets actually give it to em shall weh?" If no one had wanted it they wouldn't have bothered using it to promote ODST,which we'd all have bought anyway.Recon is like delicious strawberry icing now
I am proudly announcing that I was on Halo over the weekend! Since Rocket Race was the x2 XP, my friend called me and I got on right away. We probably played for 2-3 hours and it was great. I hope you all played it and let Bungie know that the most loved game on Halo 3 (because MLG isn't loved, it's obsessed over) should be a full-time playlist!
I think Bungie removed it at the worst time, now there's actually a variety of maps to play it on Signed
