And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

Awesome, answered some questions.

Good to know some of the achievement things. Also, does the "Enemies KIA" (on B.net) only show up when Campaign Scoring is on? So far it seems like it...

Seems like it for me too. I've played through the campaign 1.5 times and somehow no enemies killed. Plenty of friendly deaths though.

Great FAQ!! Answers why I can't change my name...

BTW...this is my first time posting anywhere on bungie.net and I'm glad to say that I'm on the first page :). Even though it's not on a weekly update, but who cares?

If you play campaign on a LAN while you're not connected to xbox LIVE, will your stats be uploaded to Bungie.net the next time that you log in to xbox LIVE? If you are logged in to xbox LIVE when you play on a LAN?

Why we can't change our Bungie.net account name? More important, why we need one? I mean, in Xbox.com forums we are using directly our gamertags.

Can't this be done on Bungie.net too?

It would be nice to change my Bungie account name. I'd like something a little more creative than Foton. Other possibilities such as Sentimental Thoughts, 9mm-blam!-, IHeartHeartWorms, LastPlace, BlindMan, ArseBurglar and GruntOnFire. Soldat lol. Thunder Lizards Rule! Breath into me.

The link within the article is broken.

Can we get a reasoning for why (yet again) it is impossible for someone to play the gametype they want on the map they want without having to resort to pestering people on their friends list and/or recent players list? What happened to XBL Public?

Q: Why didn’t I get my achievement after completing a mission?

A: You can’t earn any achievements if you play on Easy.


That's not true.....(snicker snicker snicker)

I've gotten two on Easy.

No hacking either.

Do you guys plan on updating the matchmaking for some sort of Public setting so we can setup and play custom games such as zombies, rocket race, etc?

Great game.
One problem however.
Halo 3 does not scale well to 5:4 ratio screens (1280x1024).
It is clear that things such as circular targets are strached verticaly.
Is it possible you can add in the letter box's some time in the future to fix this problem? (Gears of War did the same thing untill Epic updated it)

You have to go into profile and then settings and click the little bubble. It doesn't carry over from halo 2. If you already did that then I'd say it's just taking a little longer to update for you.
