Don't bother PMing me about rating your screen shot.

Sorry, but all they did in that question answer thing was either confuse hopeful fans (the recon armor question), or answer retarded questions about armor permutations having abilities.

I don't get why people seem to ignore the sentence: "there's nothing you can to unlock it." sure, its a bummer, but you never know, bungie could realease it or some other cool armor later. Just stick with what you have (which 99% have hayabusa... *sigh*)...

Great update, kinda funny about the b-ball player.

I am a penguin. Every day I boogie on down to the water, and eat fish. Once, while fishing in the deepest depths, I saw great Cthulhu... And he said to me "Shine, to thine own self be true. They can't tell you what to do once you've gone guru." Also, I should tell you, "slide".

News of the armor has broken my heart. Bungie owes me a hug.

Lol, I loved the comment about "turning down the retardation." Too bad about the recon and flaming armor but oh well; I guess there has to be some perks to being a Bungie employee.

Wow, I just went through a bunch of posts of people pissed at Bungie. Get this through your head: BUNGIE DOENS'T OWE YOU ANYTHING. If you are unhappy with the game, DON'T PLAY IT. I personally love the game. Yeah there are aspects that I don't enjoy but I'm not going to complain because I'm not the one who spent years making it. Thank you Bungie for a great game, and I hope to see some new products from you in a few years.

if people didnt complain and try and find ways to make things better than we would still be playing pong and tetris cause no one would ever aspire to make anything new since as far as the complaint department knows they are as fun as a game need to be

If you cant tell this thread is sarcasm then gtfololroflbbqbeta

well, i figured id c just how good this Agent Arenas guy is... and as i suspected, HE WAS HORIBLE! im only a level 23 and hes supposed to b so great bc hes a level 42, but from wat i saw... he aint so good! it was a close game for a while and then i pulled ahead and won. just bc u got high EXP dont make u good, so i dont c y ppl care soo much about it. wow, ur a big shot colonel, but ur horible at the game! if any1 wants to check out my game against him, and a few screen shots i took from it, check out my file share, hes painted all over it! y ppl that stupid EXP boosting in the first place is far beyond me, but they still blow! and just to put the rest of my 2 centsworth into this post.... bungie made halo 2 the exact same way, they gave u like 10 maps and then worked on mor for download, y would they make this any different, besides, if ur really that cheap, just wait till the maps r free! and if u cant wait, then stop complaining! and finally, bungie, this game is great, there r a few things that could use tweaking, but im sure ur already on it. also, i think u should bring head-to-head back, that was one great gametype that died out too quickely....

First they say..........
" Don’t cheat and you’ll spare yourself the whiny shame when the banhammer falls."

Then go on to speak about the Bungie employees and their flaming armor. If you ever seen that grenade stick video, you'd know Gilbert wasn't the only one cheating.

Wow, still not even an acknowledgement that a lot of people(including myself) still can't play matchamking at all after nearly 3 weeks, let alone what they're doing to fix it.

*sigh*

First post on the forums! I must be the only one here that likes the way the weekly updates are worded and how Bungie likes to let it fans tear their games apart trying to find every little detail then tells them that they (the players) are trying too hard. The majority of the human population would act a whole lot worse - and denying it won't change that fact.

If it's not unlockable... why would lukems post a riddle about unlocking it?

Great update; I had a few friends wondering about why their rank wouldn't go up for anything, and this answered it. I'm wondering if this is where we ask questions for the next "What's Update", But if it's not minded, then I'll ask mine anyways.

Just two questions.

1. I find that the Veto system is a marvelous addition to matchmaking, but it's imperfect. Is there any way that, in the future, we'll be able to veto just the map or just the gametype (x for map, b for gametype, persay)? If I like Guardian in Lone Wolves, but don't like Oddball, I'd really like to play Slayer on Guardian instead. I do understand that some maps don't have more than a single gametype to choose, or that some gametypes only appear on one map, but in such cases only one veto button could be available.

too long; didn't read it: Can we have two veto buttons in matchmaking, one for the map and one for the gametype?

2. The current matchmaking offerings are well-rounded, but one thing is missing; movement speed changes. Is there any way in the future that a matchmaking playlist could be made where gravity and movement speed could be heightened (or lowered, if the gametype calls for it) so that a vareity of nonsense and skill-based games could be played on non-default settings? Best fromat would probably be 4v4 or a social slayer following of 5v5.

too long; didn't read it: Will there be a matchmaking playlist where things like movement speed and gravity are changed?

Thanks for reading. If this isn't where questions should be put, could someone email me where to put them (chances are I won't double check here, unfortunately) or just copy and paste this post into the correct thread? email is v1tal_in4mati0n@yahoo.com . Thanks alot for your time.

Well I can't say i'm not disappointed about the recon armor thing. I spent hours and hours looking for this using more logical approaches and had a lot of fun doing it. I do appreciate you not ruining the fun because we kinda got the search we should have gotten with the Hayabusa armor. I was kind of hoping you added a 50th achievement and total 1050 gamer points as a sending off gift to Micro(manage)Soft. I'm glad you guys are atleast working on glitches, even if they aren't the ones that some people want fixed, I have faith that they will be addressed because you are still making efforts. I'm still going to try things to get Recon, just because I had more fun searching for that than I have on any halo game so far. If you ever have a job opening I can apply for that doesn't require any kind of talent designing games and doesn't require me actually showing up to work (Long swim from Hawaii), hit me up. Thanks for the game..... flame on forum flies.

About screenshot gallery:

I made a screenshot on last resort named "Skydive!"
It's a beauty, but it wasn't sent to my screenshot gallery, I can't find it anywhere.
Yes, I could upload it to file share, thus being on bungie.net.
So it existed on my xbox360.
But it wasn't send to my gallery!
I thought something was wrong already when the box "uploading to bungie.net" took almost a minute.
Ohw, and I made the screenshot 1 week ago.

So my question is:
can bungie please put it in my gallery? You guys can check the whole internet, but it shouldn't be in anyones gallery.
If you say, just make the screenshot again. No single screenshot is exactly the same.
Camera angle and time is very difficult to make it exactly the same.

If you answer this mail: PLEASE don't answer it in this thread, but instead sent it to me via the xbox360 or sent it via the bungie.net messaging system!

PS: this game rocks :P

- Is there a H3 Cheater email address to report cheaters?
- Whatever happen to the "1st to 3" option for custom games involving rounds?
- Will the bungie.net download queue ever increase from the 8 slots we have now?
- Why does it take longer to view "clips" with your friends than a whole "film" unedited?

Thank You.

Personally I don't get what the big deal is about having certain types of armour permutations. The only time I see my character model ingame is when I hold a turret or my corpse is lying motionless after being killed, which no matter how cool your armour is, ultimately you are dead and you fail at looking cool.

Amazing review as always! Maybe the longing after those flame-heads will fade away with time now that everyone knows they cant have it.

What a dumb-butt calling Fr. a R3tard.. lol you're playing their game and calling them retards.. not a good thing at all.

eveyone should get over not being able to get the recon helmet and the flame helmet. you cant tell me if you made a game there wouldnt be something you would put in for just you and all of the people who helped you create it? i personally think that none of the "new" helmets look like halo anyway. BUNGIE made an awsome game which will only get better.

  • 10.13.2007 3:20 AM PDT

I'm awesome!

Now that Bungie is free from Microsoft's clutches. You need to work on getting MC into Super Smash Bros Brawl. Or maybe you are, maybe you're the reason the it got pushed back.....

Haha, I wonder if the guy who said that is reading this right now.
I've yet to get an employee of Bungie on my own team.

...hopefully it's not in a shorty snipers match, though. Flamming bullseye = not too helpful.
