Known as Social Big Team, this is a social playlist in ''Halo 3''. There were both social and ranked BTB playlists, before they were both replaced by Squad Battle in the September Title Update. Social Big Team Battle was then replaced by DLC Big Team. When that playist retired, the current Social Big Team playlist came into play. All [[Map pack|DLC]] is required to enter the playlist. Team size is set to 6-8 players, with a max party size of 16. <ref>http://www.bungie.net/online/playlists.aspx?mode=1</ref>
