I'd really just like to thank you guys for wasting our time (and yours) by including questions and answers that don't even have any relation to Halo or its universe.

Looking forward to a less fulfilling update next week!

Back to back Exterminations

Wrinklefighters, hoah.

I'm psyched for those action figures, but it bums me out that my helmet (Mark V) isn't going to be made.

Edit: Oh look at the time.

Im so geting the EOD figure, it looks so badass! BTW GO HAWKS! =D

Thanks for answering a bunch of questions that don't really matter, while still failing to answer the question of starting weapons: Is it possible to expand the starting weapon set to include the weapons that were left out i.e. Carbine, Beam Rifle, Plasma Rifle, etc? It is the only real flaw in Halo 3 in the opinion of a lot of folks. Many threads have been created about it, one w/ around 900 posts at the moment, yet there is still no answer. Its ridiculous that the starting weapon sets in Halo 2 are bigger than the "set" found in Halo 3. How can you have a profile picture of an Elite with a plasma rifle, but can't start with one??? Please somebody answer this question for me!

Nice FAQ and very nice updates lying ahead of us.

I was just wondering, my XBL is expiring in a few days but I still have some microsoft points (which I want to use for those new DLC (already got the first) left on this acc. When the new maps are released I won't have XBL anymore but I do want to play them with friends on local matches. So is there any chance to download the new DLC with Xbox Live silver membership instead of a gold one? My points are already on this acc and I don't want to lose them lol.

Nice update, can't wait for AU.

  • 01.12.2008 4:14 AM PDT

Halo: CE > > Halo 3 > Halo: Reach = Halo 2

Yawn... wake me up when the AU is out, or when there's some actual news about it.

Wow, did they actually give a straight answer to a single question? It's all just "keep waiting, we might fix that eventually".

Ferrex (Tyson Greene, I think he's the head multiplayer guy) has stated in the Optimatch forum that this is unlikely to ever be changed in any patch. It's a matter of memory limitations so I doubt they can change it now without removing other options, which does seem unlikely. I would agree with you that this was an incomprehensibly bad decision on Bungie's part, but don't get your hopes up for a fix.

Go Packers!

agreed.

Cheeseheads Unite! We have a bird to kill.



read a thing in the paper the other day saying that wisconsin was attempting to ditch the cheesehead packers stereotype label. i guess they want to share the rest of wisconsins wonderfulness with the world and not be restricted to a green and yellow foam cheese shaped hat

MARK VI Pink – Available only in Canada (lol)

Perhaps you can clarify that statement in your next update where you take questions. Is that supposed to be insulting to women, Canadians, or all of the above?

Maybe I just missed something because I don't see the humor in that line. And why would that one be region specific when the other ones are only retailer specific?


it's funny because canada is americas hat. it doesn't insult women, it may be poking fun at canadians but who cares it's a joke because the toy is region specific and happens to be pink. many people find pink spartans funny just like pink bicycle shorts. it's a joke anyway so who cares

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

From now on, official policy is no more jokes. None.

Is Mister Chief actually trying to throw the football?

Or, is he just trying to hang on to it with apparent angst at the thought of losing such a beautiful instrument of global domination?
