Yeah, Admiral Yamamoto killed thousands of Americans in World War II, and that offends me, therefore all mentioning of his name should be prohibited and blacked out from all textbooks.
That was sarcasm.
Seriously, that seems like an overreaction to me, and I'm not one of those kids with the ridiculous prejudice against Jews.

Dont be an oversensitive douche. Im jewish too, and hitler comparisons are funny to me.

hey frankie. i just wanted to say that i didnt enjoy the comment that you made about hitler. I know you were joking( i read your * at the bottom of the page), but being jewish and having a fair amount of family that were killed in the holocaust made me a little uneasy about the comment. i still have a tremendous amount of respect for you, the staff at bungie and what you do. i just wish you would you would apologize. please

Trailer Park Boys ~ One of the best Canadian made comedies ever.

Awesome update Bungie.

I'm rather surprised that you guys are putting so much effort and having professional clans with members of MLG help test and offer suggestions about the current melee system. Great dedication to your fans Bungie.

Hope the auto-patch and next batch of maps come out smoothly and that they kick-ass like the first set.

YES thank goodness no flying bodies, that was just ridiculous.

-also a note on the mister chief...
the color scheme needs some work, the green and yellow of the mister, does not work well with you multicolored flouresent background, the background is becoming more of the focal point than the figure... which is not good. seriously i like the kiddish cartoonyness of the mister but i think something in the backgound could compliment this style... give him a place to live thats cool, calm and comfortable, not something that would give him a headache.

...or you could always pull a jackson pollock... :)

I thought that Bungie said they weren't going to do remakes or reimagining anymore old maps for a while.

Personally, I don't need Lockout. I think Guardian is good enough. I would eventually like to see all the old maps brought up to H3, so we never had to play the same map twice in an hour or two's worth of online play. For now though, I would like to see what they can imagine with new maps.


Agreed. Creativity FTW.
I'm looking foreward to seeing the shiny new goods as well.

Now for some rant.

I'm really so *blam*ing tired of all these people begging to bring back the H2 br, or the H:CE pistol.
All that is, is proof positive that anyone who has mentioned that they want it changed depended on it way too much to get kills and survive.
**Point-So it's not whoring a weapon if everyone uses it? Probably not. What it does mean is the weapon is un-balanced and overpowered.
If they reduced anything about the BR, it was for the good of the rest of the game. If they put the thing back in, they may as well take all the other weapons out because all the sudden everyone would be using BR 85-95% of the time. Once again, because it is(was) overpowered.
The exact same thing goes for the H:CE magnum. I don't care how 'hardcore' or 'skilled' you got with it. It was still a crutch all along. Plain and simple. I know. I was there. I used it and I used it 'well'. Yet at the same time, I still realized that same simple fact that the thing was rediculously overpowered.
Now granted, the H2 BR wasn't as bad as that, but it still wasn't a good deal.

"Bring back the BR" ? You can't be serious.


I totally agree, but about the pistol, i don't care if they don't change it at all, i just want a scope on it o.o

Ok, there are a lot of people making speculations that this new map is Lockout. and there is some pretty good evidence for it. (read the damn thread if you havent heard this yet.) But now I think I may be on to something that will add to the pile of evidence that is growing in support of Lockout.

the part about michigan... re-read that part- "He gets too close and I take a safe shot at the core, sending him hurtling to whatever hell is reserved for Michigan Wolverines fans (which may simply be a normal game, but with flames on the periphery). "

remember when you got blasted by fusion cores in Lockout??? You would go flying over the edge, and down into that horribly frigid place at the bottom of Lockout... AKA: Hell Michigan.
for those who dont know what i'm talking about: check here

eh? I think I figgured you out on this one bungie.

ps. you dont like the way the game is??? dont play it. bungie dosent care, you already bought the game. it will just be less whining going on in these threads.

Yeah im pretty sure that ok corral is tombstone/hang em high.

I read something in a mag during study hall and saw something about two gangs of cowboys fighting in out in Tombstone, Arizona. At the end of the article it had a quote that ended with "Ok Corral" I will try to research it some more later.

Anyways people please stop bringing up the BR. I dont really want to start an arguement but the BR was not purposely weaken by Bungie for the good of the community nor for any reason.

the master chief drawing lacks basic perspective, and the details leave a lot to be desired, equaling a poorly-designed doodle. nothing but an unsuccessful attempt to squeeze a laugh out of a cliche that may or may not have been funny to begin with. unless you're a noob, but you don't count anyway.

i copied the pictue from the website onto photoshop and made it bigger and i must say well done bungie i am inpressed!!!

Why the hell can't you just tell us the real names of the maps. Its not like a name like "Foundry:" gives out exactly what the map is about. The codenames aren't even funny.

I hope they rest everyones skill level.
Reseting everyones rank wouldn't do much because that would include EXP, but the skill does need to be reset.

Really glad that they fixed the 'flying dead bodies'. It was kinda unnatural ^^
