Rocket Race is AMAZING. Thank you for adding this playlist. For those of you that have not played it please do not knock it until you've tried it. It will instantly become one of your favorite gametypes.

sorry but i think that update wasn't worth the time i took to read it.

Rocket Race Hopper has been added to the Social hopper – 8 players, join in parties of up to 8 players

^-What the H is that, you guys are adding a rocket race hopper, WHY thats a custom game add something that people want like a team snipers and a team hardcore. I'm sorry but you guys just keep letting us down.

BTW- why did you get rid of social doubles but not team tactical where you can't find a game above 30?


I agree. Add something like Hardcore or Snipers instead.

Nice update, can't wait for the matchmaking updates. Is it possible for you guys to make it so we can talk during lone wolves? That is the main reason I don't play it, because I like to talk with my opponents


Yeah - I'll bet you do!

Dude - it's LONE WOLVES! Not 'Gregarious Wolves' or 'Friendly Wolves' :P

I prefer NOT being subjected to the racist, vulgar, idiotic language of the Halo playing masses, thx.

Not that YOU ever use foul or inappropriate language :) If you wanna have a chat with your opponents - play some other game type, or host some custom games.

Lone wolves is now 6 players = good

Swords is now a gametype in lone wolves = bad

Also, bungie please remove epitaph from everyone's hard-drives in the next update. You would be doing everyone a big favor.

Thumbs up to 6 player Lone Wolves and Swords gametyp; I'm still trying to get Steppin' Razor and Overkill achievements (I don't play too often).

  • 11.09.2007 7:19 PM PDT

Sandtrap sure has some interesting Elephant turret kills vs. deaths and enviroment kills/deaths. Also the plasma pistol is not a deadly device anymore, just a tool of death.

Man this heat map thing is fun to play with! I have to go die in strange place now.

shhhhhhh

All of that teasing aside, in the extremely near future we’re going to have much more in the way of cold, hard DLC-related fact and much less in the way of gimmicky names and vague descriptions. Things are in motion and the DLC bullet train is making a bee line straight for your face.

I think Luke might've dropped a hint at a Terminal remake... I can only hope. I was disappointed at the lack of city maps in Halo 3.

Good update.

Nice update [as always] but i have a couple of questions.. When exactly is the DLC coming out? And is Social Doubles permenately out? My friend and I always loved it. Just wondering

I pretty much only play Lone Wolves and I have mixed feelings about the increase to 6 players. I think on some maps it would be ok, but on some of the smaller maps it's already crowded with 5. As it is right now, a large percentage of your fire fights ends up with you getting engaged from the flank or rear either while the original fight is still going on or just after it's finished and your shields are low (or gone). Adding one more into the mix on maps like Guardian and Epitapth will just make kill stealing even more the norm in this playlist then it already is. And I can't even imagine what the KOTH matches are going to be like, it's already total chaos with only 5 on the maps. But I'll wait to pass final judgement until I've actually played it with 6 players enough to know what it's like. Time will tell I guess.

Aw. That's a shame you're getting rid of Double Team. Now I'll have to play Quadruple team. Oh well, I can get my level 36 back up again eventually. XD

Looking forward to that Soundtrack. Thanks Bungie.

I await the Podcast with great anticipation. The Podcasts are truly epic.

EDIT: and, oh, the cake is a lie.

The sci-fi movie was "A sound of thunder"

A neat object to add to Forge would be Titanium-A Battleplate so we could make platforms, walls, etc...

So I think Jun's a master chef, because he takes off his helmet and your like whoa, I think he's a chef.

So to shorten this up, Jun is master chef.

They removed Social Doubles, not Double Team.

The sci-fi movie is called "A Sound of Thunder" staring Ed Burns. I watched it for an hour before my attention span kicked in, i wondered what the ending was, now i don't have to rewatch it, u guys always have my back thanks.

Will H3 ever do 8 player FFAs like the good ole days?

You guys might want to time your DLC release with the release of Assasians Creed btw.

It's great to see you guys doing a MM update. Hopefully they'll be a monthly occurence.

Maybe we can get the Gaus Warthog back? Or am I the only one who misses it? Or am I completely retarded and haven't found the option to enable it in Forge?

And I gotta agree with someone else.... rocket and sniper ammo boxes in Forge as well.

And gimme Coagulation/Blood-Gulch back too. And Lockout. Thanks. Oh, and Hang-em-high/tombstone. I didn't get to play that enough. Heck, just gimme all the Halo 1/2 maps. That'll work just fine.

shield doors on forge= my idea

anyway I hope they reduce the killing power of the hornet so we can have that and so we can have the gausses warthog

Halo: CE > > Halo 3 > Halo: Reach = Halo 2


In addition to continuing our investigations into melee in Halo 3, we’re aware of some other issues that are causing ruckuss and rage in the ever-vociferous Halo community.

Good, at least they are still looking into the fubar melee system.
