I'm still bitter about being "strung along" with cryptic "hints" about the Recon Armor while we searched so intently to no avail for me to be happy about reading about a couple of schmucks with video editing capabilities receiving it as an f-ing gift.
(and may I say, "aarrgghh")

(*sigh* I suppose I'm just in a crappy mood from getting no sleep as a result of the new baby - It's when I'm this kind of exhausted that I tend to type my less, um, "diplomatic" posts, but damn!)

I know I should just focus on the better things in the update, like upcoming DLC maps! woo-hoo! I can't wait to see them.
Keep up the great work, Bungie! I still love ya!

P.S. Welcome back, Frankie! :)

"Only the Fallen are Heroes, while the ones who still stand are villains"

doesnt really matter for me with the recon. I'm a true spartan by heart so I stick old and true the good ol Mark 6 is my armor of choice and I know chief would do the same. Also I suspect all of the rooster teeth staff will get recon as well?

Get it right.

I agree that those guys deserve the recon,i watched both and made me laugh alot.
And halloween thing sounds great and proves there is love for the commynity,even we(community) can be a holes sometimes.

Really great update!

There`s like 1Million b.net users,so hopefully i can be 1 of those who receives it[after all i did nice amount of hours searching for it when luke gave us the "hints" :( ]
I hope Halo 3 section gets little more grown up after frankie saying " But play nice and be a good sport and who knows?"

Is that spartan doing a sand angel in weekly update?(normally snow angel when in snow)

I love you Bungie. Thank you for the Recon armor :)

You should quit giving it out now. We can be part of some cool, extremely exclusive club, forever.

Thanks again! And thanks to everyone for downloading the video, and all of the comments I've gotten on Live.

Additionally, try removing your 360's hard drive and attempting to play like that. If that works, then your problem is with the hard drive. If it still doesn't work, it is very likely something is wrong with your disc or your machine. Swap in a different copy of Halo 3 and see if that works to eliminate the disc as the source.

im still waiting on an update the explains why I CANT PLAY MY $130 copy OF HALO 3 !!! i keep getting failed to load map errors !!!



Try holding UP and A during the launch of the game. This should clear your utility area and may help.

Isnt there some code you can press on the hard drive screen to completely wipe the cache? I remember having to do this once during the beta. it means you have to dl all the xbox live updates again but it may sort out the problem if someone knows the key combo to enlighten him.

Congrats to the foruante guys to have the Recon armor, now I know how to unlock it. I will try to do random good deeds, be a good team player and have good sportsmanship.

If there's one thing I have learned in working with you, it's that there is always margin for error.

Sweet vids, both the traffic cone kill and the live action shorts. Those shorts need to be seriously made into a movie, they are freakin awesome.

melee: This looks worse than it is, sometimes because of network conditions. You’ll have to take our word for it that in spite of the apparent gap in time and animation, the two strikes were effectively simultaneous. The problem is for most people that it looks bad and is dissatisfying. But we do appreciate the frustration this causes and we are looking into it. As many have noted, the alternative, host advantage, is not preferable.

click for full story


There is a definite gap frankie. Its not how you say it is. on a local 1v1 game I have held both controllers in my hands and pressed melee one after the other (about 1/2 a second's difference) and still the one i pressed LATER (who has more health) wins.

Try it for yourself. There is a problem. I am thankful that you guys are taking a look at it though. don't write it off.

so your saying the health only matters in a melee fight if the melees are simultaneous? That sounds fair, but either it's not the way it plays out or the host problem is huge, because even on saved films you can clearly see people losing a fight when they melee first.

Let grunts Sleep!!!

lol, that suicide is like shooting a sniper at a tissue and having it come back lol

Frankie: To clarify, the armor isn't supposed to be on fire due to my not being an employee, right?

For anyone who wants to see it fireless (not sure if this has been posted), check profile.

Thanks again :)

Nice update =] i can't wait for the halloween update it's probably going to be something small and not something big like a new map

You will be missed.

Dont get too wrapped up in the Internet. It's already forgotten about you.

New maps already?
That's interesting.

Good because more maps are good.
Interesting because you're taking more of my money already is interesting.

You know what would make it all worth it?
If you would post some video links to games where the banhammer has ACTUALLY struck.
That would be so damn sexy the community would have to take their clothes off for Mr. Chief.
Or Frankie, I guess we could take them off for you too.
But then you might snipe yourself in the face, if you catch my drift.
