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

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.


i didn't have "a cow". I merely gave you five words, so get over yourself. And, It's irrelevant to the topic.

...
so, has anybody noticed that in halo 2, one of the bases on midship (blue i think) was named Moonbase Alpha when you captured it in territories?

I've said it before, but I just thought I'd say it again here.

Thank you Frankie for the Recon armor :) My MS points/Map Pack gifting will not stop!

I may even decide to do it here as well.

I'm incredibly eager for the melee patch. I absolutely hate the obsolete system. Thank you.

Also, NO MORE FLYING BODIES!? Dammit, Bungie. That was always a good source of laughs.

And the map in the background is most likely OK Corral.

Can we get pictures of maps soon, Frankie?

that would be sweet but i dont think bungie would do that. it would mess up gameplay with different gravity. Still could be. it would kinda be like the first leval in h2

pls explain about your MI wolverine reference, and I hope one of the new maps is lockout, not cause I like it, cause i don't, just so everyone can quit complaining.

i agree and i hope it is lockout. that would be the best map to remake for h3 but who knows cuz they have gaurdian.

DDOS'd Amazon's servers F5ing for Swag Bags...yeah I was there. :)

7-7-11 was another awesome Bungie Day! Thanks Bungie for making halo so amazing over the last 10 years. Can't wait to see what your Destiny will be next. ;)

I don't get why everyone hopes the newly added level is going to be Lockout.

Yes, it was a good level, but we have Gaurdian now. If they remade Lockout, it would ruin both maps because they would be competing with each other. I know that Gaurdian is not Lockout, but it is too close (don't even say it's not, Bungie even said it's a spiritual successor, end of story). I think it is Moonbase Alpha myself, which is closer to The Longest.

Why should they keep on making old maps when there is so much more potential for new, original ones? Halo 3 isn't Halo 1 or 2, so the maps won't play as well, they weren't designed for the features offered in Halo 3 opposed to the old ones.

I do love Cottonball already though. They said it is officially a remake of a Halo 1 game. I can handle a remake occasionally, to bring back a familiar feel, but with a new touch.

I'm sure someone already noticed this and posted about it, but look at the picture on the front page for this update. It's a picture of tombstone.

I'm glad that melee is finally getting a fixed.
However, the main problem I experience with melee (along with many other non-american's) is that we almost certanely lose a melee clash to them (when both players have even hp, sometimes even if you have more) because their connection is better. I'm not pointing the finger at American's saying they cheat, they can't help it if they get host (which is most of the time)
Maybe to help melee lag a 'Prefer location' search should be added as I still get many yellow bars when searching 'Good connection'.

Um, because Lockout was damn awesome!

A witty signature you say ! ? well at the moment i have nothing witty that springs to mind, so sory..................nope still nothing.......

Nice update great to here there’s a melee fix on the way, tbh though I haven’t really been affected by it. Looking forward to seeing what “Moonlight Sonata” (sounds like a jap RPG or somethin) and the rest of new maps will look like some time soon.
Why does Luke faint if he eats fatburger? is it all just to much for him, does he become overwhelmed ? oh and as for the fusion coil trick…yeah ur not the only one that tires out those sort of tactics, my mate is still clueless of it though, he’s hopeless ;) lol

Cheers Frankie
