No, acnboy. Spartain Ken 15 is a lesser being. Much like the bacteria that lives in your shi­t.

When does this update come out? and if it already is how do you get it?


They said early next week. So Monday or Tuesday. Wednesday is not acceptable. :)

Take your time with all those updates & new maps Bungie. Call of Duty4 just took over, not coming back for awhile.

Oh, whatever will they do now? You're going to play Call of Duty 4? How can you do that to Bungie, when you were so valuable?

Must be comfortable on your imaginary throne, there.

It is very comfortable here on the throne you so sarcastically put me on fanboy. Call of Duty 4 is a great game you should try it, if you already havn't.

Anyways..what's up with the ratings system? anyone want to explain this?

I start as level 19 in Team Slayer
17 kills, 11 deaths on high ground. team lost, didn't level up
14 kills, 4 deaths on Narrows. Team won, didn't level up
7 kills, 10 deaths high ground. Team lost, didn't level up (obviously)
12 kills, 3 deaths on Snowbound. Team won, didn't level up
13 kills, 8 deaths on Guardian. Team won, leveled up! finally
Now I don't have much of a problem with that, but then...
Very next game on Snowbound, I get 9 kills and 9 deaths for an even kill/death spread..and I go down to level 19 again! Are you kidding?
So that's 6 games, 72 kills, 43 deaths, for a combined k/d spread of +29...and I'm the same as I started?

I don't mean to complain, but what's up with this?

weioyforevm,.w9uofepcmj,

certain vehicles have had their weapon systems modified so that they behave differently in multiplayer combat.

Oh no, this doesn't mean you're changing the Hornet and the Banshee?

First time I've ever been called a fanboy. I'm not, actually. I just find it strange how so many people, though not you in this case, almost threaten Bungie by saying they'll purchase CoD4 if they don't change what they think should change.

  • 11.10.2007 5:00 PM PDT

What's up? I'm Anthony, from Maryland. I play a lot of video games, too many. Enjoying the Halo Reach Beat right now. Also Halo was kind of my life from the age of 11-14.

Cool. Can't wait untill the new maps get released.

I think your being a little harsh spell j.

-Grenades should do more damage I think.
-Who doesn't love blowing people up with fusion cores, I mean honestly.
-Guardian and Epitaph are amazing. You really think you could design a map spell j?
-I feel like a complete baller when I have 2 maulers.

Bungie Rules! Don't mess with them..

im glad to hear everything is getting better and that the soundtrack is coming out soon plus that the podacast is coming soon ive been waiting for it

Are you EFFING kidding me? SWORDS in RANKED Lone Wolves? That is RETARDED. Still no snipers in lone wolves and most of all no Snipers or Harcore playlists at all? How -blam!- retarded can you people be? Adding gametypes that noobs like to play but taking away the stuff that people use to practice or play when they don't want to worry about rank? -blam!- retarded. Swords is the most host favoring gametype in Halo 3 and you're putting it in a ranked gametype. You people disgust me. I will not be playing halo anymore until there is an update that adds at least snipers and/or hardcore.

You made sniping harder and headshots only register 25% of the time (got film clips to prove it) but then you won't give a game type to practice with it?

You people really piss me off.

Halo 2 was way better thought out.

Plus an update that makes shots register would be greatly appreciated. I have a pretty damn good internet connection yet I still can't kill people in four shots with the battle rifle or a shot to the body with the sniper and a shot to the head with the BR. I've got video after video showing it. 6 BR shots to the face of a guy running straight at me and he survives. 8 shots to the side of the head of a guy and he's not even down to no shield. Snipe to the body then 2 head shots and guy is still breathing.

I really believe you should focus on making your game less full of bull-blam!- than adding bull-blam!- gametypes to ranked playlists.

Whoever has host in a swords game will win every time unless they really suck. One person and the host clash for a duel then the host gets to slash again before the other person. Or the offhost person can hit the host first then die. It's retarded. I didn't care that it was in Rumble pit because it didn't effect rank. Being in lone wolves is -blam!- retarded.

The lack of snipers game types for those of us that want to play it is really really really depressing along with all the other bull-blam!-. Rumble pit in Halo 2 was fun because of the Slayer BR and snipers gametypes. You've gotta add some playlists for the people that DON'T suck at this game.

Also, I read about the ranking system "not being broken" because it takes into account for everything done in the game.
Then explain this.
My friend who is a beast at this game was a 44 in Team Slayer. We're playing in a party of 4. We play 8 games in a row. We win Every one of them by a good majority to people that are the same rank or close to him. (40+) He has the most kills by far and the least deaths of anyone in the game. He get MVP nearly every game, and has the most headshots. He has the most medals. Still, he doesn't rank up.
The next night he plays with a different party. He has to win 6 more games in a row before he goes up to a 45. When I've seen some people suck at this game, go negative every game, yet they still rank up because their team simply wins. Sounds a little broken to me.

That's a sweet idea/map man...I'd never be able to play it bc I suck at infection...but I like the idea! (: Also thanks for showing me how to "double jump" using another player it helped me get a few skulls on campaign!

Agreed with Flip on the ratings system...

Seems like 1 game of negative can put you down but 5 straight games of positive might not bring you up...

Cedo Nulli Sed Deum

Awesome Update! Loved all the changes. Any hints as to how much the new DLC will cost? I never played Social Doubles much so that doesn't affect me. 6 player lone wolves is gunna be great, always thought that 5 people was a little slow-paced. Swords will be nice as an occasional change of pace from the non stop flow of basic slayer. Also I am very glad to hear about a fix for melee being worked on!

Suggestions:
Give the whiners their Hardcore playlist instead of making team slayer BR spawn like H2 was (which ruined it).
Firebomb Grenades! Please! These are soo much fun in campaign but no where to be found in ranked MM.
Some more variety within the playlists, like all Covenant or all Human TS, even in social the variations are few and far between.


Otherwise keep up the excellent work!

At all the people whining for the old maps back, please shut up! This is a new game and thus should have new maps. Halo 2 had 6 original Halo maps in it (mostly from the map packs) and most people complained when they came up in MM. Halo 3 already has 3 of the old maps and everyone is already complaining about them!

  • 11.10.2007 9:50 PM PDT

Halo 2 > Halo 3

R.I.P. Halo 2

The concept of the heat map is really cool, but i really wish it worked with customs too. that mostly what i play, MLG FTW.
but it if worked for Customs too, that would really help em and my team make some good adjustments to our strategies, also... wheres Team Snipers and Team Hardcore?.. comeon Bungie!

I Love you.
