"ZOMGz", eh? That's bold talk! Well, it certainly was not famine for Rare, as the How the Pros Do portion of the Update was pretty interesting.

Looking at the red team players on Narrows gives me goosebumps of anticipation. Themz graphix are mean lookin...Can't wait anymore..
BTW that warthog could litterally be a ride. You could charge money for people to just climb into the back and hold the turret. If there were a New Zealand Halo Fair and the only attraction was the warthog ride I would be in line for hours. Woot woot, fourth page.

wait... wait! so i can still have saved films on my silver account just cant share them unless I upload them to my gold? cause i normally only use my families gold account for multiplayer and play single player on my silver, and i would like to save single player films. thanks...


Right. Even Offline (non-Silver) accounts can save films locally. But I believe your Gold account won't be able to upload files created by your other accounts, since each user profile has its own local store.

But is it possible to share files between accounts on the 360 first? Let's say RedBack shared his saved film from silver to his gold account. The gold account downloaded it. Then could the gold account upload it?

Man. That stinks. But thanks for clarifying that though.

Do you know if there will be any updates in the future to clear up issues like this?

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

Will this Bungie Pro feature be based in the game or on the website ?

I'm definately buying the subscription for the saved films. Forge sounds really awesome two, makes maps even more enjoyable because they will always be changing. This game is going to be so awesome!

Bungie Pro all the way!!

Took a while for this update to come up, but it was worth the wait from what it looks like. So there's going to be a map editing function in H3 tied with a "credit" function? If thats what I'm understanding, that's awesome. The only reason I played Far Cry: Instincts was to mess around with the map editor (I went through the campaign once though.) Good update. I'm sure more will be revealed in upcoming updates since the release in inching closer.

This update ensures I will do nothing else with my life ever again.
I will constantly be using Forge.
Constantly file sharing.
Constantly playing Halo 3.
...
Thank you Bungie, thank you.

did anyone see, in the 7th picture in the halo3 gallery that the person closest to you is holding a never before seen weapon in his right hand?

Ah, look at the lonely people...

So, wait, I'm confused. Do we have to buy "Bungie Pro" in order to browse screenshots, others' file shares so we can flag stuff for download, ect..., and what have you on Bnet?

Darth Vader sleeps with a Teddywookie. Pass it on.

I'm really not sure if this is related, but during the beta, I was able to download saved films from other players' shared files, then put them into my own share, as though I had recorded them myself. All members involved were Gold, however.

My take on it was that Bungie Pro simply gives you more storage space in your file share. Instead of a maximum of 6 items or 25 MB, you get 24 items or 250 MB. I don't believe anything else is different (you can freely browse other user's file shares with or without getting Bungie Pro).

750 Microsoft Points is incredibly inexpensive. It quadruples the number of things you can share and gives you ten times the storage. All that, and it's less than $10. I'm impressed.
