OK, yes, it is very true that I'm a dumb ass. I'm not denying that. However, isn't the whole point of a beta to increase the amount of users until you get someone dumb enough to try something you haven't anticipated.

Good, lots of stuff.

Grrrr...update? They vaguely mentioned that cheaters are going to be dealt with. Hopefully, at least they really will be dealt the huge smackdown. I don't care about so-called achievement boosters, or people boosting co-operatively in Social MM but, here's what needs to be taken care of:

Those Pending Banhammering on H3/XBL:
DDOS: Firewalling other players/enemy team, i.e. Forcing you to DNF
Standyby: another form of lag cheaters
Soft-modders: No need to go into detail on this

I was playing a game yesterday, where one or two people were standbying in the game. Fortunately, I still beat them all down and took 1st but, it still pisses me off to no end.

Well, back to the game I guess. Maybe we'll get some new info on DLC/patches/playlist updates, etc, next week. Obviously Bungie's not ready to say any more on that, and what else is there to talk about in an update now, when we all have the game?

Meh.

Thanks isn't enough from us, Bungie. We'll bring you beer and nachos sometime. And play Slayer together. THEN we'll be even.

Thanks for the greatest game of all time, and thanks for creating the n00bs we get to laugh at!

Interesting quotes, since they are the ones that sometimes get overlooked. Thanks again Bungie!

would have been nice to hear about future maps, patches, nerfs, and also the bungie's trip to the Las Vegas MLG tournament.

"doing things you should not"

could you explain please? We all know cheating gets you banned, but if there is something we shouldn't be doing that we don't know is wrong and you are going to ban people could you let us know instead of banning without warning?

first! kinda lame update but im sure its special to some of you guys.


I just skimmed it. All I saw was another empty threat to cheaters and a bunch of quotes.

  • 10.19.2007 5:45 PM PDT

It is people like you that make people like me need medication.

Am I the only one that would like to hear about what is going to be fixed. You know things like certain armor parts not unlocking etc? However it was still cool to see the letters by Bungie folks.

  • 10.19.2007 5:45 PM PDT

by the way I would like to hear bungie's response to this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAwiELHDEdA

i thought you said on a previous update that the player with more health wins a melee if there is a case of meleeing at the same time, but this video clearly shows that is not the only case, you can melee after your opponent melees first and connects and not die and kill him if you have more fun. this needs to be fixed!

also my friend has a matchmaking video in which he sticks someone with the plasma grenade and the grenade falls off and doesn't kill him. we can't seem to record the clip, and it's pretty far into the match, but we'll try and upload it to prove it.

It was super-lame. i want to here about ingame goodies, and things to come even if they are months off and some odd speculation -blam!-. Sorry, but i really hate these oddball weekly updates...

EDIT: Bungie, I still get Shotty Snipers alot...you didn't fix anything!

That was an excellent read right there.
Thank you and you are welcome.
I am addicted to playing this game.
I need to go play. Peace.

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Very nice...

EDIT: I love a good storm BTW

"Brick, where'd you get a hand grenade?"
"...I don't know."

I hope I'm not on the "naughty list."...my connection is extremely laggy when playing Halo 2 and Halo 3, and has been for about a year on Halo 2... (/emo), so people always say they're going to report me for standbying because I'm the only one with a red status bar. T_T (/emo again)

I totally agree on this one... I just ending up skimming the update looking for any piece of valuable information that could pertain to the game. Oh well I guess when the bamhammer finally falls it will be monumental but I would of liked more information on the latest cheats that people are doing so I can know what to expect when I go onto XBL. Oh well sure it was special to some...

Lets ignore bugs in the game and talk about non important stuff.
