If only we could recreate Sidewinder on the new maps...


You can kinda recreate a mini-sidwinder. :)

Thank you Bungie (and Frankie) for addressing our complaints straightforwardly. I enjoyed reading the lack of bull-blam!- and I might go as far as calling this the "best update evar".
Cheers!

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

Any chance the rebalanced maps will hit your fileshare before that update?

Luke always upsets me when he writes...fire him already, and write all of the posted news Frankzorz.


I thought he was a monkey, and frank splits up his posts with his pet's allias half the time to get rid of the rumors he is addicted to free base caffiene, and plays halo 11 hours a day. The rest of the time he splits between writing, working and once a day he goes hiding around the office with his pet monkey for laughs.

Is luke a real person?

Good to hear something solid coming around from you guys.

The next thing I want to hear about is a MM rank fix. I'm on my last nerve trying to go up after winning 12 in a row and not going up, but lose 1 and I'm down 2.

Amazing update but really wish we could remove shield doors on epitath that map has great potential for a competive map. You can do it BUNGIE!!

Very nice update. Too bad not every one will read it start to finish and let every point sink in.

this thread is full of so many retards that its ridicules

One of the best updates in a long, long time. I really appreciate you guys for being so honest about so many things. That's all I ever needed to hear. And Luke, thank you for putting a stop to more usless "first" posts. Maybe that ought to become a habit?

Luke, Frankie, please.... Is commando shoulders being looked into? they are labeled in there, and the pictures of them previously released look awsome. I look forward to new maps, but on classics, I just want my vehicular straight forward Coagulation back, also the home of RvB. it has always been a favorite, and I know it would be hard, but continue to ponder? just a little? Would not have to be now, but sometime in 2008? Like April Fools for the long mock period?

Really? When the maps come out, you should put one in your file share. I would download it. Thanks for the info :)

#2 Supporter Halocharts, #11 other account.

You are all loved beyond measure.
I, like you, am a light-sound-vibration complex that resonates with others. I have hopes and dreams and ambitions, just like you! I AM, and so are you! Yes, we are one and the same, you and I.

This was, in my opinion, a hundred times better than any of the updates for the past few months. A lot more sober and informative -- but I am somewhat dismayed at the apologetic tone, as Bungie doesn't really have to apologize for anything (well, except maybe the initial maps :p). Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this week's update.

That's some good info , and I definately like the sound of THE -loads more to come attitude- But this quote scares me
"What you’ve seen so far, is just the tip of the iceberg". (reads like ) ` What you've seen so far is the beginning of a small addition finacial investment ( $10 more) that will eventually become the LEACH known as DLC. (inset devious laugh here , while rubbing hands back and forth ). I'm a fan and I will most likely buy every piece of DLC available. Just another Lemming, oh well. See ya on the new maps .

  • 11.30.2007 5:04 PM PDT

Please Bungie, redeem yourself w/ Reach.
Halo 2 and 3 both stink out loud.
In the immortal words of Mr Horse: Halo 2? No sir, didn't like it.

Nah, don't worry. It's just hyperbole. Remember the "Ultimate Q&A"?

I'm glad there were lots of mentions of FIXES sprinkled in with DLC info. I'd also be curious to know who actually sets the DLC price. Is it not Bungie, or not Bungie developers? Not a big deal, just curious since it was stated that "it's not our decision".

I think given the tone of some of the past updates they needed an update like this. I for one am glad they "came clean".
