"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. :)


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?

Well bungie this is an amazing update i cant wait for the new maps and i think it was a great idea to take away social doubles so people stop boosting as much because its pethetic to have some one be a grade 4 general but have only 200 ranked games and 5200+ social games and most of them social doubles - ive never played rocket race before i hope its good

Stooping to the lowest level of whoring...

My Halo 3 Wishlist, My File Share, Blood Gulch, Halo 1 CTF

How about some heat maps for map/gametype combinations? I'd love to see where the action is on my Blood Gulch/Halo 1 CTF setup.

Your balls are showing...bumblebee tuna

Since Team Snipers was the second most popular playlist in 2, why not put it in 3? a lot of people definitely want it. That way all the people that hate shotty/snipers in slayer won't have it in there. Just remove it from slayer altogether. It will save you guys headaches from adding it way later down the road. It baffles me why it's not in there and you wasted your time making tactical which hardly anyone plays.

I guess begging for substance does work, and I think you made all of us feel a lot better by just mentioning that you were looking into and possibly fixing certain issues. Thanks for the update and addressing the more uncomfortable subjects, and i'm sure we all look forward to your next one. Now that you addressed things, the complainers on the forums truly are just that.

P.S. Even though you don't want to encourage Recon threads, Mister chief should make a comeback he was great.

Jason Jones of Bungie famously said of Halo 2 that: "it's Halo 1 on fire going 120 miles per hour through a hospital zone chased by helicopters and ninjas. And the ninjas are all on fire too." As a sequel, Halo 2 couldn't quite live up to that extravagant claim.

Social doubles gone not cool.

Why use guns when you can just nuke it?

Completely Agree. All my friend and me do is play Multi-Team and Ranked/Social Doubles. It's a lot more fun when the only person on your team is someone you know. I want to ask, why are you taking this away? Is it because it isn't played much? .....i have 2 words:

TEAM TACTICAL.

I'm mostly excited to hear about the forge modifications. I thought things would be alot more limited but being able to make man cannon's and shield walls? That's pretty awesome considering it's obviously not going to be the last cool thing to be added. Halo 3 reminds me of PSU. Starts off very bare but they added stuff slowly, course halo three is a million times as popular and the support is also a million (and one) times better. Man, I'm sorry but the support in PSO and PSU was so bad.

First of all you don't even know how old I am so it just shows your stupidity calling me a child. Second I also play this game to enjoy myself as with every game I play. It just so happens I enjoy playlists that require skill which are currently absent from matchmaking.

Your opinion does NOT define skill.

Each and every ranked playlist takes skill.
If they did not take skill you (and everyone else) would already be a L50 in each ranked playlist.

Are you kidding me? 6 people now in Lone Wolves? Swords!?!?! That's redundant and unnecessary - enough people play it already. Leave well enough alone.

Seriously - this sort of thing happened in H2 and I was really looking forward to not having any more stupid changes. Well, I don't know why I was. Same old bungie, just a new game.

PS - Swords games take zero skill. It isn't an opinion, it's a fact. I played just sword games with my friends last week, we had incredibly varying outcomes every game and no one was happy afterwards. I've also never actually played a Team Swords game yet in matchmaking because they've all been veto-ed. What's that show you bungie?

I agree as well, I loved playing social doubles, cause I can play with my friend who is not so good and not worry about rank going down, if we lose, no big deal. Why take that away? Why? and Swords in Lone Wolves??? Obviously you guys aren't listening to your target audience . . . us.

  • 11.09.2007 10:26 PM PDT

God Damit!!!!

(social doubles is gone! (after a long break, I would play about 2 or more social doubles games to warm up before switching to ranked. (i do the same thing for skirmish and slayer)

All of that stuff is cool, but if melee isn't fixed it's worthless.

Hilarious that you suggest someone else is only 14 years old and then write an entire paragraph without using a single punctuation mark. Fourteen years old is what, 9th grade or so? You aren't even writing at that level.
