yeah fix the melee please. It never really feels like a well earned kill, it's always more of a 'I was first' kind of thing. Maybe making the melee attacks slightly weaker and the range a little shorter could make 1-on-1 battles a little more interesting and give the victor an 'I earned it' feeling.

If by O.K. Corral's observatory you meant a wild west saloon with revolving doors for drunk Spartans, it's all good. ;-)

Also, Frankie's map better be Sidewinder; Can't wait to see how they update it with new tech.

This thread is for discussing the Bungie weekly update only, not for promoting your screenshots, which should be posted in the community screenshots forum and left there. If people aren't voting on it anymore, accept it and move on. Sorry about the moan but spamming annoys me. (I had a look though, it's pretty cool, nice one).

As for the requests for old maps, I have all the Halo 2 map packs still saved on my x-box hard drive. How hard would it be to simply enable these for play on Halo 3 or is it impossible due to differences in coding or something?

well forget forge i would spend hours of making maps on farcry than i would on halo 3 farcry has a better map making then halo 3 what the y need to bo is to is come out with a map making contest and give the fans who make halo 3 so famus and give them a reason on making games come out with one map that you can do what ever they want to do like building and water or rivers thats y i think halo 3 has nothing to compare halo 3 with farcry its a better online game yes but map making no and they are not even listing to the fans and members that play halo 3 i would reither give up forge for a map pack of the halo 2 maps but ii would be cool to see lockout with sheld doors come one give the fans what they want all my friends went to play cod4 becouse they are getting tryed of getting ranked up after like 40 games and loising it after 1 game that they come in third place and in cod4 they dont rank down they get to choose if they want to restart there ranks and you guys are probliy reset the ranks in a year so that really -blam!- and back to the maps you should have pole and give a map list from the halo games from the pc or xbox games and let the people choose vote and see what the most wanted maps are and then choose three or five i would love to see a remake of warlock thats what they should do so if you want ot reply to me heir is my gameraccout so ya the profile im on demonic gregman is so i can post stuff heres my accout HLB BLADED CROW

Any new armour permutations coming out? These seem to be strangely absent from the updates.

a wise man once told me to -blam!- off.

Posted by: Sexbox
One way windows are on Snowbound (In the bases, look up) and I think they may be interesting in a more noticeable spot in an arena map but I'll have to wait until I actually hear more on the map. Who knows... I definitely agree with that one dude though, if possible the windows should be 100% forgeable.

I still want Midship and Derelict though...


even if they were unforgeable, im sure that w/ forge you can block them off

In the auto-update please please please introduce a -1 penalty for a 'fall to your death'.
This would be really simple to implement and would stop the cheating (or bad gamesmanship) that has been occuring in some team doubles games.

Copied from another thread I've just posted on:

My brother and I had a Team Double match against a pair, it was a close game, we had been losing badly but were clawing our way back and guess what? The other team got scared and simply started jumping off the ledges (on Epitaph). They'd wait on a ledge until one of us was getting close (probably checked using radar) and then jump off. It simply counts as a 'falling to your death' and doesn't affect the score at all. A couple of times we managed to get a shot on them causing some damage before they jumped so we were granted a kill, but this only happened a couple of times in the last 4-5 mins of the game. Of course, it takes ages to respawn after dieing like this which just helps them even more. Although I think that's right - the respawn time should be long if you're stupid enough to fall to your death but surely give your team a -1 for it?

It really spoilt the game for us (we lost it and basically didn't have a chance of clawing back more than a few kills).

Come on Bungie, please make it so that if you fall to your death you get a -1 added to your score.

Question:
Is it OK to copy from another thread like this or should I have just put a link to it? I'm pretty new to these forums and am still learning the etiquette.

My request for the auto update: does anyone realize that the settings for sound/communications don't work quite right?

When I have everything set to "headset only", and I unplug my headset then the sounds come out my surround sound speakers.

I DON'T want it to do this!

Why? Because I have young(er) kids running around the house. Sometimes I unplug my headset to talk with others (no mute button). Occasionnaly headsets break and must be replaced. If I cannot use my headset for some reason then I don't want every player's expletives bursting forth from my speakers. It should just be mute. "Headset Only" should *mean* HEADSET ONLY!

And, this is the way Halo 2 worked. Why change it?

Thanks for listening!




why dont you just flip the switch on your headset to the littel veto symbol?

halo 3 is an awesome game hands down..COD4 yes good game as well buh its no halo COD4 will die out just like the rest of its series nd COD5 will come out...ANY WAYS this update seemed 2 me they were just hyping up another map pack that will not really lets say...deliver...sure standoff was an okay map...rats nest...ah it was alright lets say..nd foundry yes it was great....but wat abt the actual tense cometitive style maps...hopefully bungies new maps will be more competitve nd wow-ing like halo 2's maps...turf, midship, sanctuary, lockout sick maps...lockout i doubt will be remade because of guardian having such close features it wud be quite pointless...im hoping midship or atleast sanctuaryremakes like reallly those were one of the best maps in halo 2 for competitive maps..
Epitaph - Crapp
Construct - Good/Okay
Foundry - Good/Okay
Guardian - Good
Highground - Okay
Isolation - Crap
Last Resort - Okay (Zanzibar Remake didnt deserve to be remade)
Narrows- Good/Okay
Rat's Nest - Okay
Sandtrap - Okay BTB not my style
Snowbound - Crap
Standoff - Okay
The Pit - Good
Valhalla - Good/Okay but its not a blood gulch/coagulation

Bungie does too much to serve the casual gaming community...halo 2 was only so competitive becuz of MLG and all the publicity it had gotten...halo 2 was awesome becuz of the maps...the new map packs better be goood

Frankie's favorite map is Bloodgulch. It is on his biography.

Frankie quote
“But I can also guarantee that my all-time favorite ever Halo map will be included too, if yesterday’s playtest was anything to go by. A large map with some vaguely familiar features just rocked my world. It was AMAZING fun. Any time I am in an hour long standoff against an equally matched team and it never becomes frustrating, is evidence enough for me that we are onto something special.”

I just have one thing to say, ok maybe a few things to say. First off i am really looking forward to the next map packs because the heroic ones were really good (even though i still think that there should be a sniper on standoff) and i had lots of fun playing on them(especially foundry on the forge). Second, i would like to know when ya'll are gonna give us a look on some pictures of these new maps because from your description makes them sound quite fun and interesting to play on. Third, what exactly is wrong with the sniper rifle ive heard alot of things about it being broken but i hadnt had that problem till these last few days ive shot ppl in the head multiple times and id see blood and everything but no death till i go up to them and kill them.

  • 01.06.2008 2:00 PM PDT

Midship ftw!!! Any word on when the new maps are coming out?
