the whole halloween thing -blam!- blew.

me and my party couldnt get into one -blam!- game, and waited in the lobby for over half an hour. by the time bungie announced they were 'fixing' it the whole goddamn event was over.

PLEASE make sure your perks actually WORK before you screw us over bungie, thank you.

I loved last weeks update, so forgive me for not enjoying this one nearly as much.

Basically, the halloween playlist blew in terms of just playing to have fun. I'm sure it was great for the less patient players who were looking for an easy way to unlock their steppin razor, two for one, and over kill acheivements - but for the rest of us that love playing halo for what it has to offer, it was mostly lame.

Regardless, I do love infection games (along with the other great variants that never make it into 'Matchmaking'), but the way infection was set up in this past experience was terrible (invisible zombies with shields and hammers?).

I have said it in past posts, and I'll say it again until I am silenced (by someone who actually matters). I want to be able to search custom games. I know you are worried about people padding stats, and that is why you dont let people search for ranked or even social matches, but you don't gain experience or skill points from custom games. This is why you should be able to search for custom games.

I know a lot of people want to search for custom games, and I hope that this gets addressed at one point. At the end of the day, I do love the game Bungie, and as for everyone else, happy hunting (and maybe you all should stop being such blind kiss asses).

Bungie worked their asses off to make a FREE matchmaking playlist for Halloween. It was just meant to be a bit of fun, nothing serious. What do you expect it to be, when Bungie don't get any extra money for making it and they're spending most of their time making cool new maps?

  • 11.03.2007 4:31 AM PDT

Very excellent smörgåsbord Bungie! =)

  • 11.03.2007 4:49 AM PDT

i hate the non skilled assault rifle
i hate the flawed meleesystem
i hate the flawed "trueskill" system
i hate the clufted maps
i hate the matchmaking system which needs 5 minutes to seek for a game

anyway i still love h3. but... how long?

whats with the patches? wha no word about when u will fix the game??

There are plenty of things to say, but which one is right?

Ughh!! If I known to check Bungie.net to find out there was Living Dead playlist! I had plans during Haloween!(Scare the snot out of little kids *cough) I did get to play it though, it was fun. Untill I got betrayed...once...twice...three times. Ah well, I hope you guys do it again soon so i don't do anything else pointless during Haloween or any other holiday.

Maybe it was already posted but will Lockout and all the favorite maps from Halo 2 be released as a DLC soon (never?)? I'm sorry to say that but I don't like very much the Halo 3 maps... :/ It seems that Halo 2 was better in solo AND multiplayer... The only good point is the "my language" thing and the skill engine far better. (ok there's also Forge, etc.). Anyway I still enjoy playing Halo 3.

Since Bungie mentioned that there are a few dday game variants, I just want to say that I have a dday variant made also. If you guys read this try my Beach Assault map variant and my dday game variant. You need these two to play beach assault. It is a territory game, but there is only one capture point. If anyone knows how to contact Bungie so they can try this game and map variant please let me know, unless Bungie reads this forum also. Feel free and leave me some feedback if you have any ideas or even what you liked about it. It is all on my file share.

Further, no word on why a web-based Custom Game Search can not be implemented. If you guys can so easily update a playlist for one day, there must be a way to appease the thousands of us that want a custom search!!!

how come all the stuff at the bungie store is so dam expensive

  • 11.03.2007 9:11 AM PDT

Eh, Bungie! Why the heck can you only put a maximal of 8 weapon holders on the map in Last Resort? They are extremely useful for all kinds of things, yet 8 isn't even enough for a party of 16 people! Also I use them for floating bridges, platforms, etc. Just download my BUNKER DEFENSE map and you'll see some of all the uses I have for them! ALLOW US TO PUT MORE WEAPON HOLDERS ON ARE MAPS!!!

Wow, I am glad they liked my Jail Break idea. Just so you Bungie guys know I actually based it off of something from Unreal Tournament, not quake... also I don't remember putting CTF in, it was king of the hill... I guess either someone else made a map based off of mine or they just had the same idea. Oh well.

Oh and I can't wait for the new maps. Forge is the greatest thing that has happened to Halo so far, although you still think of modding it at times due to it's limitations. Plus you can only change pre-existing maps slightly and not make wholely new maps. I have a question for Luke; will you guys make anything other than new maps, or will you include new weapons, warthog variants, forge updates, armour perms, etc. in your DLC?

"how old are you? 14? are you stupid? OFCOARSE Bungie gave us an update, you nub..they let us know what's going on, and if your melee is broken..you must suck at melee attacks..not THEIR fault.."

no actually im 27, and this is NOT an update. Them trying to sell us new crap, to me, is not an update. Them telling us about new maps is not an update. Them fixing the sniper shotty bug, or the melee bug is an update. When they fix the time it takes to get a match, thats an update. When they stop making us waste time playing a 4th round of capture the flag when you cant even win is an update. And when all 8 people veto a map in the first 2 seconds of the count down and I still have to wait the remaining 8 seconds to count down is also something they can fix. So dont tell me that THIS is an update. There are MANY problems to be fixed in this game and instead of fixing them they try selling us crap and telling us about future maps. I havent played Halo 2 since the Halo 3 release, but I am sure that the BxR bug is still around and people are super bouncing on top of boards, but dont worry about fixing those either bungie.

Here I'll be like everyone else here and kiss your butt also.. GREAT JOB BUNGIE!

Well if bungie.net admin actually read these posts then you guys should take a look at my file share and download the Dawn OfThe Dead gametype. It is not like you're gametypes because it brings back the classic Halo 2 settings that we all knew and loved back in the day. No one has shields and zombies move slightly faster excluding the alpha who moves the fastest. My Red Apocalypse map is most likely the only one worth downloading. So if you really wanna draw some more attention to the infection gametype you should add my Dawn OfThe Dead variant to your playlist when you have similar special events. Thanks Bungie.

Christ man, if you are really that pissed off about the game, return it. Go outside. For all of us who actually enjoy game, we'll stay and play it.
