Wow, lots of angry ppl, great "update," cuz the guy above thinks its not, even tho Bunige has been doing these for awhile now.
some miner issues that need to be fixed could be huge projects for the Bungie employees (fixing 1 thing leads to another brooken thing)??
And Go Pats, even tho NE isn't a state, (it's 6 really)

Just so you know. New England will beat the Colts... It's that simple.

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.

"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!


You are my new hero. No, I'm not being sarcastic. You are calling a spade a spade. :)
Before focusing on all this other ancillary stuff (extra playlists, new maps) hows about fixing the bugs or at least acknowledging them. All we've heard so far is that *maybe* they'll address the melee bug (and it is a bug).

Colts fan??? Say it isn't so. Seriously, is Manning the Johnny Damon of football? Does he secretly long to be a movie star or something? Please, no more commercials!!! I would prefer my lunch to stay in my stomach. Remember that time Brady did all those commercials after he won those Superbowls (plural)? Yeah, me neither. Prediction for this weekend (besides pain) Pats 52 - Colts 17.

Good work with the game, lots of fun!

Mission Designer Dan Miller pointed out that the Quake 1 had a similar Jailbreak system where one player would climb on other players heads in order to exit a respawning purgatory and seek vengeance against those who have tresspassed against him.

YES! YES!! I remember Jailbreak from Quake 1!! It was so fun!
Oh man... the memories!
LOL! I remember when people stacked on each other to get out... haha, good times.

Man... this got me thinking... a Jailbreak mode would be AWESOME in Halo 3! :)
Please think about it, Bungie!

Oh come on now... Don't be so upset if the Colts loses!
In fact...

They will. :P
Go Pats! ;)

Btw... you live in Seattle... shouldn't you root for the Seahawks??

so i have severall ideas that i think could progress halo 3.(before hand let me aplolagies for my spelling/grammer).
My first idea is that in team slayer u should be able to chose your color and it should stay the same.so every game what ever color any1 is the other team is the color ur not and your team is the color u chose
2nd there should be a specialty tab next to your name or exp,so it provides info to wether u prefer short or long range.
and people could party with the contradictory style.
3rd u no the sword that u can unlock that sits on ur back and does not do anything?i was thinking that in the last 3 seconds wear the game ends but you can still move,it would be cool if u could use it then.


I love halo TY.

Another great update!


yeah? why?

this is another plain boring update from the lowered quality employees at bungie. once again they skip over important updates to talk about trivial garbage. stop talking about maps that will probably come out and stink like 90% of the maps we already have.

please, go grab the guys that made the classic halo 1 maps.

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.



owned...simple as that...that "27 year old " IDIOT needs to stop playing the game then..not BUNGIE's fault he sucks :D Also, super bouncing & BXR don't exist anymore..

and how experienced are YOU with bugs? SWORD canceling is more of a bug than the melee system, getting out of then on top of MAPS is more of a bug than the melee system..god damn..

wow..you're "X Tremely Talent"-ed at being extremely ignorant aren't you? a big chunk of the maps are fine..MLG people play on em and win frickin hundreds of thousands of dollars playing this series & the maps..unless you can devise a better map then make it in HALO-C.E. (PC) & actually DO better than Bungie OR the MLG folks..........SHUT THE HELL UP

thank you.




and for the folks at bungie, decent update this week, nice little things going on here & there

We don't play to make friends, we bring our own. If you lose to us, take it like a man (or lady). We don't know how to cheat: it's called being grown-up and having a life. Don't call it BS (not to be confused with bs Angel, whom we love), modding, glitching or whatever other retarded reasons you have for hating to lose. If, however, you win, then here's to hoping it was a Good Game!

Sooo... not even a mention in the update of the broken MM in the infection playlist? It worked fine in the morning, but then in the afternoon and all thru that cursed night, no parties could get into a game. I think you guys should give us an extension of the Infection playlist. Playing zombie killer with a bunch of random timmies is not my idea of fun. Infecting your friends while they clamor around trying to find refuge from the Zombie Sword/Hammer of Doom; Fun! Timmy glitching under the ramps on The Pit so that he wins by cheating; not fun! I spent at least 90 minutes in MM lobbies to play 8 whole game of Living Dead. And that's what I felt like while waiting: Living Dead.

I don't know about this update its not what I though it would be. I mean there is a lot of ananswer questions and stuff but as for the rest of the update its ok but not really important.

Oh dear pasta, we appear to rapidly be sinking into a linguistic melee. Please save that for Halo 3 and not the Bungie forums. If they wanted to let us get violent, we would be issued assault rifles. That's always how I know to kill people.

I applaud Bungie for ensuring that the gameplay remains fresh and not losing the casual fan amidst a sea of small bug fixes. No, the game isn't perfect. But it is very good and the multiplayer is exquisite. Except for the fact that there isn't much of it. This helps with that and ensures that people never get bored with the game. Especially without a map editor available, having a dedicated team making new content already is an excellent move.

--

Why does Bungie need to prelight the maps? Can't they just set a sun travel arc and let the players set the time of day. That could be tactically very interesting, if nothing else - a dawn attack might let one side attack out of the sun, and certain concealment points might actually shift during the day with the sun (in a north-south corridor, the time of day influences which weapons are worth grabbing and which ones are too exposed.) Please, Bungie!

sweet update Bungie. But I must say, Halo trading cards? isn't that a little extreme? I mean, LOTR had a trading card game that never took off. We'll see if this one does.

alright, so i didn't play infection on Halloween. partly because i would rather of gone to a party then spending half my night playing halo and partly because i don't have xbl and i always play at my friends house, but when i went over to his house the next day, we noticed there was a large amount of games played the previous day, and everyone on xbl was talking about infection. so we came up with an idea you should consider. it wouldn't get you guys more players all the time, but more on the line of specific days that "gamers" would want to play. but here it is, you should assign days where certain game types are allowed. but not the normal game types. you should put some old halo 2 classics in like team swat or team snipers.

so an example would be:
Monday-Thursday--normal days nothing new
Friday--add team swat to the play list
Saturday-- nothing added
Sunday-- team snipers

that way people who like those certain game types will build anticipation for the game types they want to play. and instead of them doing the same thing everyday they would be able to change it up a bit.

War never decides who is right; only who is left.

Ahahahahaha. The Patriots win! Have fun in that bathtub or scary part of Seattle or whatever. Anyway, great update, can't wait to play the DLC. I agree w/ a bunch of other people. City maps! Urban Combat!
