ok, so i was playing a game of odball on gaurdian in lone wolf, and about a minute and a half through the game, i go to stick the guy that had the ball with a grenade, it stuck him right in the middle of his body and then as i start walking backwards so wen he explodes i can grab the ball and be on my way, but i geuss the game had other plans for that grenade on his body. as im walking away i c the sticky disapear and he beat me down, though i did hear an explosion. wen i went back into it in theatre mode to c what had happened, i noticed that the sticky teleported to where it would hav landed if the guy wasnt there, HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN!!! i think i deserve recon armor just for that, i hav 3 clips of it on my fileshare. IT WAS COMPLETE KABOTCHERY!!!


Same thing happend to me word for word...well at least not the odball part...but that did happend. I was in slayer when it happened with some friends but when we went to theatre it showed something completly different. The sticky went completly through his body and didn't stop. But when I went to view it for myself it the sticky just disappeard

i'm hoping for another map with elephant. need more than 3 maps for BTB. would be cool if they made a map like isolation with bases under ground but huge with the elephants able to go everywhere as opposed to being restricted to a circle as in sand trap

they wont.

Nice update, looking forward to the DLC. Now as for the recon armor, I think its great that its being let out into the public, despite how small the number of people who have it. I do think that Bungie should give this armor to people that have glitched armor as a sort of compensation. I myself have two pieces of glitched armor, even though I have met and exceeded all the requirements. Please Bungie, this would be a great gift us mere mortals.

I read the update every week and love every word, even if I haven't commented before.

Halo 3=awesome. Every piece of it.

Please Bungie, don't change the way melee works. It's fine. I've gotten beat by it a couple times, but only because the other guy put more bullets into my face first. The current system makes complete sense, the strongest should survive in a simultaneous attack. It also eliminates host advantage, the whiners' complaint about Halo 2 multiplayer. Now the whiners are whining about the fix. It's comical.

The melee system does NOT work like Mr. epGotU suggests. Again, I can't count on my fingers and toes how many time I have been beaten down by opponents who I had near death while I carried MORE health and beat them to the melee. It is ridiculous and makes for less than desireable gameplay.

I recently met a guy who used to to work for bungie, Pynion, and he has recon armor. I think its cool that former employees get to have it as well, although he told me you guys didn't give him the fire-helmet. Lol on those 2 suicide videos. And I'm glad to hear that the new banhammerness will cut down on the cheating a bit. I'd say kudos bungie, but I'm positive you guys deserve better than that, so...

MEGAKUDOS!!!!!

i bet a sidewinder remake is one of the new maps. thats what i gathered from the hints in the update anyhow. probably has elephants too

I'm just going to throw this out there, because I'm jealous of the two people who got the Recon helmet.
The sniper suicide thing, the one on Last Resort, also happened to me. Now, I did not save this film because I figured it was just a small glitch, no big deal. But now people are getting Recon Helmets for it I'm a little jealous. Anyway, just in case you folks at Bungie find it in your hearts to give it to all players who committed suicide by self-inflicted sniper shots, know that I was one of these people.
And, I'm sure you have some record of the game to prove I'm not lying.. and just in case you decide to actually check, It happened on Last Resort, but on the opposite side of where his video was shot. Basically he was shooting towards where I was standing when it happened. It also happened before that guys video was posted. I don't remember the game or date, but looking through my early games I believe it was this game.

Please Bungie, redeem yourself w/ Reach.
Halo 2 and 3 both stink out loud.
In the immortal words of Mr Horse: Halo 2? No sir, didn't like it.

Why in the WORLD would Halo 3 need MORE BIG MAPS!?


Yeah, I was hoping for more small/mid size maps. Construct is HUGE but the action for the most part takes part in a small area, same with Isolation.

I'd like to see maps the size of Midship, Hang 'em High, etc

You do understand, to make up for the latencies involved with things like host advantage the "simultaneous window" needs to be as large as it is right. The change didn't get rid of the host issue, it just moved it to another area. At a *minimum* this window should be pretty much off for LAN and split screen play and ideally it would be much shorter on XBL.

Rofl. Recon looks so sick. T-T

But yeah, I was wondering.... Is my death in the clip "Ownage" in my FileShare sad enough to get it? ^^

Fix your -blam!- game Bungie.

I didn't pay $120 for a game where I beat down first then half a second later get beat down and die. This is more -blam!- than you think. It happens even when I am host on 1.5mbit unlimited connection.

Fix this -blam!-.

So, could making you guys laugh for the recon armor count for something like maybe winning the Marathon 10th anniversary writting contest in the joke category a while back? Cause I did that and there never really was a prize for that. Not that I'm one to complain about stuff like that or be beggin' for prizes or nuthin' but it was worth a shot :) (maybe if you could just get my commando shoulders on the elite model to unlock, that'd be cool enough)
Okay, my joke was pretty lame and I probably only won cause there was a lack of entries :(

The orginal suicide dinosaur.

Hell, if you guys are gonna give out that perm to the creators of some truly amazing halo media, then I nominate DigitalPheer, masterchief sucks at halo is an epic series.

  • 10.28.2007 12:09 AM PDT

Congratulations on the Recon armor fellas. New maps? Really? Already? OK. Can we get a flaming helmet gamer pic please. Maybe that can solve the crying over how no one else can get that but Bungie Staff or special people. Besides, a gamer pic of a flaming helmet would be pretty sweet. Peace!

holla jalapeno

i hate to be just another angry player venting on the forums, but i got my first perfection today by going 20-0 on a team slayer game on High Ground. I got the medal but i didnt get a medal for the running riot at 15 or the one at 20 if there is one (im not sure). i know im wishing against hope but is there ne way you can weave me some magic and get me those, i coulndt thank you enough.
