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.”


Frankie's biography

Ultimate Halo Match: Blood Gulch, CTF, all weapons, all vehicles



That doesn't mean it's his favorite map...


how can u say it doesnt mean anything? why would he put blood gulch if it wasnt his favorite map? he even hinted it talking about a 1 hour match on stand off, which resembles blood gulch

Death by figure skater.

You have a map with a window that people on one side can see through, and the other side cant??? Uh, ya think this might promote some camping for the team on the side that can see through it? WOW. I hope this window isn't anywhere near anything.

MAPS:
I agree, completely and utterly agree with every single thing you siad (both of u). And honestly the fact is bungie pig headed about making new maps, all human forerunner technology this, human technology that! Why not scenery this and exploration that, how about something like a maze a tunnel, something that will inspire us, make us extend our abilites. Why not create a new cannon that can be fired at a wall so the wall collapses creating a new route around the edge of the map in a tunnel that has floodlike quality's, maybe even put flood in there so we have to eliminate them, distracting us from destroying each other and make it feel more like an adventure, rather than a competition, make it fun for us bungie!!! cut the crap about new this new that!! it pure -blam!- bungie, pure -blam!-!!! make it funner make it extreme, make it scenic, something to be REMEMBERED!! not played but remembered!!!

Terrain:
How about more ledges, more vehicles, like O.K. Coral or whatever, it'd be good if there was like a highway you can go on, tracks to take you to all new places!
Instead of thinking about the bases and what's in between think about what's out of the way, somewhere else, make three bases, make mountains to climb up, map mazes to go thru, make floating bridges that can collapse, make things that are individual for one purpose that is entirely for fun in a strategic kind of way!!!
make things that'll explode, make us think, create, imagine it in a whole other purpose, something that can and will be changed in forge!!!

Forge:
I think there should be powerfull mancannons that can be placed on the map in forge, that would be interesting!
How about you let us put things that attach to wall, like spore eggs or whatever, let us put things on all kinds of shapes, on all kinds of sizes and at all kinds of angles, let it stay there so we can TRULY change the gampelay, style and overall look of the map!!!
Add something like pipes or walls that can't be destroyed, we need impenetrable things bunige!!!! IMPENETRABLE!!!!!

Players:
I have a great idea, make new spartan armor, make new feet, new backs, let us customise every single thing on our spartan!!!
THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

So think bungie, you add those in hell you're sure to get many more peoples interest!!!

Thanks for keeping us updated about the future of Halo 3. The new patch and maps are excellent news, glad to know Bungie is still working 110% on keeping Halo 3 awesome.

Great job Bungie =)

Hello Grand Puba's of Halo
One suggestion for an update I would like to see become a reality is to find a way to show what level our friends are in the friends list. If we are set to Team Slayer then show what each friend is in Team Slayer in the friend list. It gets frusterating to invite a friend to a doubles game only to find I am a level 4 and my friend is a level 30, or as is...I am a level 29 in Team Slayer and one friend is a level 10. I hate it when a RL friend accepts and invite into my room and I have to tell them that they can't play with me 'cause their level sucks at the moment.
Thanx for your time
Ace Bond (age 38)

holy -blam!-

FIX YOUR -blam!- RANKING SYSTEM.

what the -blam!- do i need to do to keep my 32? win MVP, but my team loses, so i rank down. what the -blam!-? honestly, shouldn't it be a given that if you get MVP, you don't rank down?

or i could win mvp 3 games straight, win all those games too, lose ONCE because some kid got a -8, and rank back down? your ranking system is incredibly idiotic.

  • 01.07.2008 6:49 PM PDT

yaa bungie i hope the update fixes some hardcore issues like bubbleshield camping with the oddball!

Halo is no longer under Bungie's care. Discuss that here.

I'm usually considered as "that one idiot that actually liked Sonic '06".

The new patch won't reset ranks or anything like that the way Halo 2's did will it?

could u guys please just bring back midship? I mean geez, when forge came out that was the first map made and has been made like 100 times now. Im really doubt im the only one that feels this way. I get back on halo 2 sometimes just so i can play a game of ctf that is actually fun and takes skill and teamwork. I mean seriously guys your losing your touch. Those last three maps were the worst things i have ever seen. Just let out a bunch of objective maps because face it, the only one you have is guardian with team ball. The rest are dead. People that used to love halo hate it because of those last poor excuses for maps. We need a maps set of Midship, Sanctuary, and a less dark version of warlock. Halo 3 is so slow compared to h2 and call of duty. No fun. Most addictive game of the year my ass.

I'm really hoping that the third map would be a glorious remake of Sidewinder ^_^
Of course, hands down my favorite multiplayer map from all three games :)
