Hey congrats to the lucky few who now have the recon armor. Good Job!!!

You know what would be funny? Achieving a killtrocity or higher and being killed by a female!

HAHA THE MOVIE IS FUNNY

  • 10.26.2007 7:04 PM PDT

Or like I said about needing campaign clips. A maskless grunt stuck itself in the face and where was the create clip option for such a funny thing? Nowhere!

Alright, good to have ya back Frankie! Great update, at least this shows you guys are paying attention to what the community has to say. I can't wait to see this new Banhammer in action, for all those cheaters out there; it's been a long time coming and it can't come soon enough. Hopefully you guys at Bungie can come up with a good solution to at least reduce the annoyance when it comes to melee frustration. Can't wait to see some new info on these new maps and playlist updates.

Then the grunt flew up and landed next to a marine in the process of manning a chaingun! The thing looked like the marine trying to hug the grunt and the grunt acting all like "Stay Back" You cannont tell me that's not funny!

Thanks Bungie! Sniper rifle, $145,00. Getting killed by a traffic cone and by your own sniper bullet, priceless.

Hog sniping
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.

Best update since Halo 3 came out...

Maybe because it was written by Frankie?? (oops, did I say that?)

I really hope the new maps are good because the current maps suck for competitive play. And good job about lookin at the melee system it needs to be fixed badly.

Also- TEAM HARDCORE PLEASE.

Phazon Injected.

I'm dissappointed that he failed to address the problem with the elite commando shoulders.
:(

There are only two things I hate in the world. People intolerant of other peoples cultures, and the Dutch


Don't hate my hands just cause they smell of cabbage.

Finally, a hirez non youtube version of the movies

After coming back from midnight madness, I popped in my Halo 3 disc and played a few games with my buds. I forget which one, but within my first few games I was sniping on Last Resort and low and behold, I shot the wall and it ricocheted into my face killing me. I then went back grabbed the sniper after my shock that I managed to kill myself and took the sniper elsewhere only to do the same exact thing on another part of the map. I couldn't believe it. After that, I just told my buddy to snipe.

So congratulations to that one guy, but I guarantee you, he wasn't the first to have that happen to him. Now, if only I had been like the others and posted it on the internet. Just goes to show you, posting whatever on the internet might get you something down the line. Only wish I acted upon it sooner. Oh well. =/

I was an Elite at that time too.

Edit - Plus, I still do not know why the Halo movie was scrapped. Granted, videogame to movie or movie to videogames rarely works out, but from that video, a Halo movie would have been an awesome, epic idea. Would of made a pretty penny in the process too.

I'm a bit concerned about the maps your talking about. Right now there are plenty of medium to large maps, but there is a shortage of small maps such as Midship, Warlock, Lockout, Beaver Creek, and Elongation

There is Guardian and Epitaph sure, but everything else is quite large.

Comparing the size of normal 4 man Team Slayer from Halo 2 and Halo 3, the maps from Halo 3 are much larger then that of Halo 2. I hope others agree with me when i say "We want more smaller maps".

Thats probably one of the funniest suicides I have ever seen. And I really look forward to this halloween thing. I'd like to mention that as a well bearded college student, I am dressing up as a pirate all day that day. Even during my classes.

Ok i decided to put my Rube Goldburg video up i rushed myself so its better to use your own camera angles.

And if you havent already seen my friend Caltus's Rube Goldburg he posted it a while ago and it got pretty popular i would say his is probably better than mine but i got him started off so if you like his please check out mine.

Here, go to this website and get your Halo clips recorded in HD for free.

Great stuff except for giving out Staff Helmets to the most undeserving people in the community.

I'm not talking about me either.

I'm talking about people who pull their weight in the community and have something to offer other than the funniest way to commit suicide.

God--blam!--damn.

  • 10.26.2007 7:57 PM PDT

please make everyone where pumpkin helmets on halloween !!!!!!

That's funny. My girlfriend got a head shot on herself last night with the sniper. Too bad she didn't get a video up faster. When I told her that Bungie gave away Recon to somebody for doing the same thing, she wigged out. LoL!

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.

Award the kill to the person that has the better timing. Please.

I love the fact of how the recon is awarded to players for special deeds, or outstanding accomplishment.

Who will get it next? The first dude to get an over kill with a lucky sniper shot? Ooh how about to someone who has a video speed running h3 with all skulls turned on, on legendary? Its like a GM item in wow. Everyone wants one, only a very select few see it, let alone obtain it.
