So uh, I saw something on G4 that caught my eye. During Attack of the Show, one of the bottom headlines was that Bungie's newer employees will continues working on other Halo related games while the grizzled ancients will be working on new games. Will we be hearing about any of these works soon, or is it all just a bunch of hogwash???

Wow, check out page 5, that's a lot of quote boxes lol. Bunch of squabblers getting upset over petty things.

What's interesting to me is how many people posted on here that Lone Wolves is "slow paced" with 5 people in it. I took the average life time from all 5 players in my last 10 LW Slayer matches (LVL 30-34 players) which included Snow Bound, Guardian, High Ground, and Construct maps and the average life of all players over those 10 matches was 28.5 seconds. If people are averaging less then half a minute per life in LW's with 5 people in it, how in the world is that "slow paced"? Six people is going to be crowded on some of the smaller maps and I think it's going to really be bad in the KOTH matches.

Venturing out into wide open space was already a very deadly thing with 5 people on the maps and with 6 there's going to be even more kill stealing and getting mowed down from behind while in a fire fight then there was before. Mauler hording and camping around corners with 1 shot kill weapons was already a prominent tactic in LW's and this update is only going to make people do it more. Adding a sixth player really adds nothing to the game play in LW's besides making the things we already viewed as unfavorable about it, more prevalent.

woot! DLC coming. I can't wait to see what mods they have on vehicles. I also heard from a friend that Vandelay might be a completely blank map and some of the new forge items allowed you to completely make a map. I can see the poblems with lag and such things but that would be awesome. Thanks a bunch Bungie.

THE CAKE IS FAKE!!!

p.s. Assassin's Creed in 3 days!

Noooo! I love social doubles! It's just because I love ranked doubles, so then I can play doubles with friends when they come over. I'll miss social doubles =[

I enjoyed the Seinfeld and Pulp Fiction references (Art Vandelay and "The Wolf," respectively). Nice!

Obviously the Live experience for Halo 3 is at least 1,000,000,000X better than that of Halo 2, but I just have one (minor) issue: active camo. In Halo 2 active camo gave the user an advantage because their image was obscured, but that of Halo 3 makes the user completely invisible. One could still make out a player using it in Halo 2 without diminishing the user's advantage, but it's truly ridiculous in Halo 3 to be killed by someone not even partially visible. They still appear on the radar, but because of the seldom occurence of one's encounter with a user of active camo, one is sure to assume that the radar dot represents someone above or below in the map. As a result the player pursues the red dot, and runs straight into the hands of a waiting, invisible player. It's nearly impossible to kill a user of active camo.

I don't have the time or will to start a forum on this topic, and there might even be one already, but I just wanted to expose others to my opinion. Thanks for reading.

Work Harder! Millions on welfare depend on you!

Does anyone know where I can get the picture "Chief Beach" (option in Edit Profile as profile background) in a download. It just looks sweet. (bfrye2010@yahoo.com)

Your mom wears an "I heart Leorex" t-shirt.

I'm just glad to hear there will be more flag games in skirmish! CTF was my favorite game type in Halo 1 and Halo 2, and it still is Halo 3. Oh, and you might as well delete 1 sided VIP. With the exception of very lopsided matchups (which, theoretically, should never happen), it always seems to result in a tie.

My $.02. YMMV.

To "competitive" whiners: Swords take as much skill as anything else. It's fun and different from regular games, but it requires strategy as much as they do.

Quit complaining...not all people liked social doubles and the like...I don't even play multiplayer because every time I do I invariably get my rear handed to me by some 12 year old who has no life.

As for the article...I'm a Texan and I'm offended :) it's Y'all...Yankees. :)

In the last two weeks I've seen a 100% imporvement on the user end for posted recent screen shots. I take A TON and often found only 1 or 2, some times none, being posted. I went the route of of file share but the last 3 times I haven't had too.

Hats off to you Bungie!
