A pretty nice update, Frankie. Sad to see Purple Reign get left in the streets (for the time being), though I'm looking forward to hearing more about this other (=O) map.

That's not the only piece of bad news, however. I think I may have to sue Frankie, due to the immense migraine caused by the latest Mister Chief. Wait, I can do that, right? >_>

We know we're going to have to pay a ridiculous sum for these maps anyway so why not just include purple reign with the other 3?

Howd'cha get to be so SWEET! : P

Congrats on the pentatalon It sounded like a super fun day/night with a lot of shenenigans. I personally like to see people fly across the map when they get hit w/melee even myself, with that said i just play the game for FUN! will we ever get a customs game search in social? Keep up the good work.

Why don't you level 50's out there, when you finally decide to apply for colleges...why don't you put that you were a level 50 on your application. And put it on your job resume, too. See how much it matters, and how much people care.

Epic picture Frankie. i love it

im glad theyre fixing the melee and the physics...cause flying people waayyy up in the air isnt that easy

  • 02.01.2008 7:57 PM PDT

How can anyone say that Bungie is just repeating stuff? Did I miss the update where they said that Purple Reign is not going to make the next DLC? I mean, come on. They gave us information on a new map and on the melee fix. That's not repeating the same stuff. [/rant]

Anyway, about the melee physics... I didn't think that this was affecting gameplay at all, but I guess I was wrong. I mean, it's not like we need the flying melee physics, but I thought they were kind of funny. Ah well, taking them out won't kill the game. Though I doubt that the Gravity Hammer will not send people flying anymore, I mean, it's a hammer. That's its job.

I wonder what Moonlight Sonata will be? Too bad Purple Reign isn't getting in, but, it is what it are. I just wish that I could play Halo right now, but my 360 has the sniffles, a.k.a. Red Ring of Death. But, I'm hoping to get a replacement soon.

Well, good luck Bungie. And thanks for making such an awesome game!

is there anything wrong with Michigan Fans casue from what he siad it sounds like he is trying to get at something

  • 02.01.2008 8:06 PM PDT

most people say never eat yellow snow... i disagree

i think that as a forge additive they should add things like dead bodies to make it look as if a previous battle had happened. it would make it easier to add a war zone affect

Well, that update was mediocre... your taking away rag-doll... we get one less map in our map pack... great news? waited 2 weeks for it.

  • 02.01.2008 8:27 PM PDT

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

the new map is obviously a remake. else they wouldnt be so confident...

im thinking ivory tower.... idk why, just a hunch


AAANNNDD..... i think its is amazing that they actually ask the MLG guys for help

The new map is not Hang Em High.


Well, at least Cottonball hasn't been denied as a remake of a Bloodgulch/Containment/Sidewinder, so that means it still is at least possible.

For a Charity? I think cancer needs most of your help...of everyones help. I don't think there is a single person out there who hasn't been affected by cancer directly or indirectly, and so for a charity, donate for cancer.

Nice update though, haven't been able to get on because of exams and those sucked x.x

OK Bungie, you sweat MLG, i get it.......... But seriously there is a lot of other MAINSTREAM opinions out there. Just stop catering to a small elitist sect and listen to the REAL FAN BASE sometimes. I mean its getting a little old and you act like they are the final word in gaming period.

You guys are becoming a little like the Bush White House... "if you don't drink the Kool-aid , you don't sit at the table." dig?


They cater to their "REAL FAN BASE" in nearly every single decision that they make.
For once, they listen to the MLG fanbase and you kids go nuts!
haha oh wow.

Blood Gulch is for n00bs, people. Nobody likes it after it was the only map being played. Anyways, I lol'd at the last 4 or so paragraphs. And nice picture.

haha oh wow.



so your saying...

1. Heavily weighted BR starts in all MM
2. Complete BR starts In RBTB
3. A playlist HEAVILY influenced by MLG (team HXC)
4. 4 of the last 8 vids on Bungie favs from MLG kids(karma triple wasn't anything special) and constant name dropping and simulated male middle appendage stroking nearly DAILY...

All that recently catering to MLG/ style of play and you still classify that as "for once"?????????

ROFL, lets try and stay objective plz.... those are about the ONLY changes to Halo 3 in the past 2-3 months and ALL favor MLG style. even the map pack has an increase in BR placements

ROFL, lets try and stay objective plz.... those are about the ONLY changes to Halo 3 in the past 2-3 months and ALL favor MLG style. even the map pack has an increase in BR placements

1) So Bungie having a brain of their own, and deciding that they like to keep the game with some sort of balance in Big Team games and start people off with Battle Rifles, means that they're catering to MLG players?
2) Complete BR starts in ranked big team battle is catering to MLG? How? Why in the blue hades would you want to start off with assault rifles in Big Team, or are you just an idiot?
3) A playlist heavily influenced by MLG? What are you stupid? There's ten, or so, other playlists that aren't influenced by MLG in the slightest bit. For the love of anything intelligent, be a little rational.
4) Bungie favorites are ... Bungie's favorites. Not yours.

"For once", meaning that they're directly taking input from an MLG source to affect their game

ROFL, lets stay objective plz.
