Cool stuff. Read the whole book, major props to Staten, well done. I'm glad he put a little more adult stuff into it, given that it's based on a mature game. I cannot wait for the soundtrack, I love all the others.
Also, I have a problem with Halo 3 and I hope you guys see this:
When I turn on my 360, start up Halo 3, and enter matchmaking, any gametype, it takes me to the searching screen. Then, it finds one game everytime, and it sits there forever, or at least until I become frustrated and back out. Then I try signing out and back in, head back into matchmaking, and get taken to the search screen again, this time with matches being found at doubletime. Maybe this sounds kinda whiny and lazy, but its really inconvenient for me to have to do all this everytime I want to play some multiplayer, and it happens and must be responded to the same way every single time, and it's been old for the last month that it's been happening. Hope you or anyone out there sees this and sends me a message about what I can do to solve this issue. Thanks! I am Papa Bear 006 if for some reason my gamertag is needed.

Vandelay has to either be at a port or something in a building (maybe skyscraper)? Any Seinfeld fan will understand


Love Seinfeld, something with lots of architecture... easier for steppin razor acheivements

Cant wait for new maps. and changing the trajectory of mancannons, just think you could send someone whose not paying attention into a waterfall of fusion coils

We’re continuing to take pretty long looks at Community feedback in the Optimatch forum (among other places)

REALLY BUNGIE, you could have fooled me since you have fixed absolutely nothing, no hardcore, no swat, no snipers.

"We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We're evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that."

"REALLY BUNGIE, you could have fooled me since you have fixed absolutely nothing, no hardcore, no swat, no snipers."

Bungie does not respond to whiney children, nor should they. :)

Anyway, good news all around, even though I am sorry to see Social Doubles going. I've always maintained that the only thing that can wreck a Halo experience, are the stupid people you're forced to play it with sometimes.

Nor do they listen to little pricks like yourself who suck so much they don't care about playlists that actually require skill. Lvl 25 much?

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.

LOL

That sure would make achievement trading a lot easier, huh?

No ranked playlists allow you to talk with non-teammates (i.e. opponents). Go play Rumble Pit.

See, I bought the game to have fun, not to enlarge my internet -blam!- in front of people who laugh at such childish nonsense. I'm sure that's impressive to you and your little 12 year old buddies, but the rest of us play simply to enjoy ourselves, win or lose.

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

Headlong? It could be Headlong remake, oh please let it be.

i would like to know when i can stop getting killed by shotguns and 45 second respawning dual wieldable shotguns in the hands of corner campers with motion trackers, and i would also like to spawn with a battle rifle instead of the reskinned halo 2 smg that you like to call the, "new assault rifle." call me crazy, but unless you pull host, that new AR is actually less versatile than the old smg. there is a very bored competitive community that would love to play the game the way they love to in matchmaking. please, please, please hurry as quickfast as you can to let us enjoy each and every game we play. i understand that you don't want new players hopping into something where they get completely demolished, but those that stick with it quickly realize that it's the best way to play the game. i think the ability to add shield doors is silly, as the only good that ever came of them was watching people stick themselves. give me instead the ability to remove the shield doors from the maps that have them by default, thus making them fun to play on. the decision to get rid of social doubles and leave gears of halo baffles me. all complaints aside, great game .

Ohh yeah it's certain that H3>H2...

The pistol is awsome. you must not be using it right. it is powerful but kind of slow to balance. duel wield with anything and your good to go.

5. Quitting: Only in moderation
There are plenty of totally valid reasons to quit. For example, if you're on fire. Or, if your mother is on fire. Or, even if your dog is setting your mother on fire. However, these things come with statutes of limitations. For quitting, if you do it so often that we recognize it as bad behavior, you're risking the wrath of the Banhammer. - Shishka

forge-able mancannons? awesome!

maybe getting overkill achievement will be easier now

  • 11.09.2007 9:01 PM PDT

You say goodbye, and I say good riddance.

Awww... I love social doubles. Oh well, I suppose. I do look forward to the other stuff though. Great update.

I like the new updates taking effect. So it looks like every couple of weeks we will see an update soon right? If not its all good, the only thing I ask for to see fixed outside of the obvious is, Map Selection. It appears way to many times for the same map. Can add more maps with nuetral bomb or flag to it. It would be way fun or multi of both.

Headsets should almost be required in some game types too. I swear its the most annoying to go into objective by yourself with a headset.

  • 11.09.2007 9:16 PM PDT

why does social doubles have to go? Its really fun to play with a friend if you dont want to play ranked stuff

I can already imagine the podcast going completely off subject from Marty's music to something... strange.
