Meh, maybe they are going to bring out a 'Halo:CE' gametype with a modded pistol that replicates it's CE performance and is the default starting weapon?

Remember, trust is calculated daily, and the maximum value possible changes every day too. Since the titles are based on the percentage your trust value is compared to the maximum value, it can easily change if the max value goes up further than you go up in the intervening time, even if you haven't had any negative items against you.

In other words, no the system isn't buggy, stop asking why your title changed, I'm not going to tell you.

I was really surprised by how good the WETA weapons are. If the movie ever gets going again, it's gonna be good.

So whats it going to be 3 maps again for $10 and this time not even with a fully forgeable map like foundry. If thats true I think I'll pass. At least there going to fix the melee.

Soffish for everyone!

Art and Halo = my life... pretty much.

I hope the maps aren't 800 microsoft points again (I knew I shouldn't of spent 1100 point out of my 1600). Please let the price be 500 msoft points!

No one else sees it? Doesn't 'Cottonball' sound just a bit like coagulation/blood gulch? No?


but where is the blood reference?

I know, when you donate blood, they give you a COTTON BALL to press onto the puncture after they remove the needle to stop any bleeding.
q.e.d.

Your right! Every Bloodgulch remake (except Valhalla) had something to do with the "process" of bleeding:

Bloodgulch is obvious

Coagulation means "blood clotting"

And Cottonball has to do with what that guy said that I quoted.

However, Cottonball is just the codename, the final name might have nothing to do with it, but the description does sound A LOT like Bloodgulch/Coagulation.

First off, the weta weapons/armor were glorious, that battle rifle=epicness.

2nd, you guys seriously need to consider keeping 'Purple Reign' as the map name. It's perfect. Dude last night I seriously got raped on Purple Reign!

Staples very freindly index card box.

Its inclusion of a surprising vehicle or two may make it even more interesting than it already sounds.

Did anyone else catch that italicized text SOUND when talking about the vehicles on Cottonball?
What could that mean? A warthog without a muffler?

I'm thinking lots of explosions. or maybe like the entire map is made out of styrofoam.

but seriosly maybe it's in space!! like it could be muffled..... or lots of explosions.
you decide..

Anyone get the feeling "Cottonball" might be blood Gulch? We can only hope.


It sounded a lot like that to me to... but don't get your hopes up. :P


actually do get ur hopes up cuz it really is blood gulch, remember last update when he said, "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.” (Luke) if u checked out lukes bio like 2 weeks ago it would have said under the ultimate match that it was blood gulch ctf all vehicles and all weapons. haha notice why he has everything under classified??? and no one else does? cuz of this. and another hint is that he talks about standoff in this. it is it! its blood gulch!

plus cotton ball refers to blood, like if u get a shot they put a cotton ball over the place ur bleeding

it also excludes sidewinder cuz he says "I’ve played this a lot (although less, by necessity than the other two)." sidewinder wasnt in halo 2
