Hey, did anybody notice that's Tombstone in the background?!
It looks like it's been remade with Halo 3 Graphics.

No it doesn't.

for once???????? lmao thats all we've seen in the last 3 months is MLG inspired changes that in fact alienate LARGE SECTS of lesser players... and with the BR starts in RBTB.... PICK UP A BR, THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. Getting to them would be part of the tactical ideal..... no right?? but i thought you wanted more "skill" based matches. NO, you just want your little crutch right? cant "pown noobs" with anything else? Sure seems like a waste of all the other weapons on the game huh

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?


pfft...no I don't...wasted reference..apparently its the "cool thing" to do is insult bush..wow..


if you mean cool as in popular then yes. But what I'm getting at is obviously OVER your head.

Sorry about the political references guys.. I'm done now


hardly..don't give yourself undeserving kudos there...I understand what you're saying..but it's B-S to use a reference like that COMPLETELY out of context..tell me when you can think of a better analogy to equate it to...

No more than 15 dollars.

Prolly about that much, seriously.

If there is only one map that is to be beloved by the Halo Nation... I'd say it's a tie between Blood Gulch/Coagulation and Lockout.

I mean... for a lot of people, when you think Halo, you think Blood Gulch. And when you think Halo 2, you think Lockout. (Incedintially, when I think Halo 3, I think The Pit, but that's just me.)

So I "knew" at that moment it was one of the two. Then, when he mentioned Lukes inability to jump (lotsa sweet jumps in Lockout, there were...) while on this smallish map, well, I was convinced that it was Lockout.

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Cheeto is the only one among you that doesn't suck.

Thank the heavens for the Melee fix. It was beginning to piss me off. And i am interested to see the "little things" that will make the entire game better.

I lacked a response because I would rather avoid an idiotic response to my written out response. I figured I'd save myself a minute, and do the better thing and ignore your complete ignorance.

And yeah, If I were you, I would never bring up matchmaking, simply because it sounds idiotic.
Want to know what I'm talking about?
My Stats
Yours
I get up to a 45 in Double Team in under 30 games, whilst you play 2,000 games and you can't even get a 35. You really don't know what you're talking about, kid.

Stop trying to give yourself any kudos, because you're far from deserving. Not one person has agree'd with you, and you haven't even proven one good point. All your doing is looking for things to degrade MLG for, and using the same exact argument that every other anti-MLG kid has used. "JUST PICK UP A BR MLG NOOBS!!!!"
You're just trying to find an excuse to make a compensation for as to why MLG players are seen as better than players of your sort.

I don't hope to see you in MM soon, buddy. It'd be a waste of my time.

let's settle down, shall we? this isn't a contest of skill here...jeeze..thought we were talkin' new maps & stuff

Can't we all just get along? It's bad enough having to read some of these posts when people are just stroking their e-peens.

Nice update, I'm curious as to what the"little tiny fixes that will fix everything" are going to be. I'm also saddened by the removal of said flying bodies. I kinda of enjoyed watching a corpse fly across the map. Sure it was unrealistic, but still fun. Just I don't know, "tone it down" a bit. Still keep some flying bodies, just not as extreme if that's possible.

I can't wait for the new maps, it's a shame that Purple Reign got pushed back, but I'm sure it's for good reason. Better late than never.

Also, you would be doing a service to every Halo 3 player if you made remakes of all the old Halo 1 and 2 maps, and if you brought back trip mines to more of the maps. I miss using those!

Anyway, glad to hear the progress is coming along nicely. Any chance of a "rough" estimate when the new maps will be coming out?

Hm... very smart.... they said they pushed back Purple Reign which definitly sounded like midship, and supposly they had a even better map ready that would be addpred by everyone universally.
I think there never was a Purple Reign, it was just a cover up for Lockout which sounds like the new one... cause they said it was small.... theres fusion coils.... and Luke had a hard time jumping( maybe he fell of alot cause its Lockout). Alot if it adds up don't u guys think?

I always taught myself never, ever, to over-analyze.
i sure do hope it's lockout.

they need to take out brs slayer games ,in lonewolf ,it takes away chances for games like crazyking. you can get a brs with in 10 yds of any spawn point in regular slayer. games like oddball and crazyking mix it up abit

Feel free to send me friend requests!

I was looking forward to a map release date but I guess it's farther away than I expected.

In the past rank-resets seem to have been largely about resetting everyone in the wake of new anti-cheating and modding fixes. To my knowledge, cheating/modding isn't plauging the H3 experience, so I don't see the need to reset.

well, that was completely irrelevant.

does anybody know if they're going to get rid of the monetary melee damage and make it to where it does more if a melee is performed while moving, jumping, crouching, or etc.?

that would be radical.

Doubtful, considering Bungie seems to want to disassociate itself with everything that you know... actually worked in Halo CE.

Yeah.
I mean, it just doesn't have that same Halo "UMFF" to it with such a dull melee system.
To be honest, I've never whined about the BR not being good enough, and really, I hardly ever whine about melee's, if at all. But having different damage variations would do miracles.
