The Wh4T

What will happen to all our recent films by the way? Since it's an update, won't something happen to all of them?

I thought halo 3 was fine the way it was. The only thing that i would suggest fixing is the -blam!- respawns. Their terrible and thats the only thing that suxs. Everything else is fine.

Can anyone from Bungie confirm that there will be other noticeable tweaks the general population will see? Is this a wait and see update or have there been any other confirmed patches not mentioned in the Top Stories section?

Thanks for the update Bunlges...

Goose got me loose!

To be honest, if they're doing away with the flying bodies, I'm quite glad. That was the absolute -blam!-est thing I've ever seen in my entire life. I hope they don't -blam!- this game up anymore than it already is. And way to go into detail about the "logistics" once again about the melee bullcrap. I don't care to read copy/paste nonsense again. They should be fixing more of this game besides melee if they want people to keep playing their broken game, but yet failed to identify what else they're "supposedly" fixing besides that and some crappy elite shoulders.

I Do Not Know What World War III Will Be Fought With
But World War IV Will Be Fought With Sticks And Stones

-Albert Einstein

you should do something about the mauler one shot melle crap when its a dual wield weapon whereas the two handed shotgun is the same way

basically no dual wield should be THAT strong

I hope that they are also fixing ghost glitch. It happend to me...don't know if it happend to anybody else but when i was charging straight at sombody with the ghost i would run them over but all that would happen is that they would pop up into the air but still be alive. I remember when they used to die! Please tell me u will fix it so i can get more splatter sprees! Thanks Bungie!

Great. Now how's about deleting Snowbound, Epitaph and Isolation, and giving us good maps?
il give you Epitaph and half to isolation but snowbound is one of my favorite. Thanks bungie for fixing melee but why no flying bodies =( and i bet a couple of people who say they miss the flying bodys bashed it when it was happening.

Its nice to know that now you can fix issues like the BXBish thing that I didn't even know of. Don't get technical because that probably isn't 100% true, but at least you got that little bump taken care of.

Here's what pisses me off...

The tone taken in that explanation is one of, "Oh, Halo players are too stupid to understand the melee system so they assume it's random. So we have to make it blatantly obvious for these morons."

Not all of us assumed it was random, many of us knew about this window of time and ruling based on health and thats what we took offense to. We weren't -blam!-ing about somthing we didn't understand, we were -blam!-ing about something we didn't agree with.

I still don't like the concept behind this new system, but I understand the benefits of it, and will learn to accept it, I suppose.

Hey, all, does anybody know if the "party leader edit only" forge glitch will be fixed? When party leader-edit-only is set, party members can still enter edit mode by clicking "go to edit mode" from the pause menu.

Just curious if it'd be fixed...

This man speaks the truth. The game is going to be slowed down even more because two people die at the same time. Wow another great idea!

Also when does the simultaneous melee occur, when you're both below 30% shield?

Besides smoothing out the latency differences between clients (it works the same way when one client melees another), this allows a client with a ping as high as 100ms to compete with the host on a far more even footing than Halo 2 allowed.


There are a few issues I am unclear about...

1) What if the client melees the host first from the hosts POV? I assume the host is not given 100ms to melee since the host has 0ms.

2) If the average latency from client to host is 90-100ms, then shouldn't the window time for client vs. client melees be far less than 90-100ms. Wouldn't 90-100ms window count FAR GREATER melees as simultaneous when in reality they are just late, even with latency factored in?

3) Is the window reduced for LAN? 100ms is a lifetime on LAN, and the Melee Contest will greatly reduce the purpose of LANing.

What about fixing the br spread? When i shoot someone in the head i want all 3 shots to him tho they die. i don't just want the first bullet to his then the next 2 are random and i cant aim the
also snowbound and epit. are bad for anyone who plays the game for competition.

Why does one bullet of the AR do more damage than a BR? Does anyone else see something wrong with that? The AR pretty much got rid of any reason to dualwield and thats not how it should be.

I agree as far as Epitaph and Snowbound being my favorite maps, I find them to be very well balanced. However, I wouldn't write off Isolation that strongly, I hated it at first but it growing on me very quickly, except when people camp the butt hole! As far as the Auto Update, very excited about this, I've been waiting for this to happen since I first started the game. I'll also be happy to have Commando shoulders, question is, will I be getting the ODST helmet unlocked for me too. I ask this because for some odd reason I never got my Graduate achievement...it sucks. I digest...I'm so happy I could poop my-self.
