Wish Halo 3 PC would come out sooner... :(

Bungie needs to add a list of what they fixed/changed.
Pretty Please,

latency between host and client of around 80-100ms, which is around three frames.

Don't you mean 6 frames?

I was wondering about your thoughts on the 100 content item limit.

Also, please post the solution to the Lintendo64 Atrocity.

Thanks.
Now it's time to test the AU...

I'm kind of disappointed we don't get to know what else was changed/fixed.

I agree, and when the hell is this going down, I have been awake for awhile now...

  • 02.20.2008 2:58 AM PDT

Just remember... I keep it real...

Yeah, its all good and all that the AutoUpdate is going to happen. But when, he never said.

Names Atomic. Actually it's Jason but as far as you're concerned, it's Atomic. I'm a community guy. I love almost everything about the bungie/halo community. Oh, And I blog.

Autoupdate is online.

So...what happens when the score is 49-49 in a team slayer game and both players have "equal" health (enough to die from 1 melee) and they both melee at the same time and die at the same time? Who wins (or is it a tie?)

The bodies flying across the map was a glitch?

The bodies flying across the map was a glitch?
Yes.

Here's why:
The bodies were never doing anything interesting. They're always locked in the same pose, unless they hit something on their way to the moon. Sure you can make up stories about gel layers locking up, but this is a straight-up bug. Secondly, because the acceleration was so ridiculously huge, it caused hosts and clients to get out of sync more often. You always see a dead body fall to the ground, only to be launched into space a few frames later. Or you see your body go flying, then get corrected back down to the ground. The new system makes all this smoother, and runs the ragdoll code the way it's supposed to. The resulting deaths actually look really good.

Secondly:
Have you ever sniped someone who was crouching, to see them fly vertically in the air for a few frames? Guess what? That's the same bug as the melee one. So both were fixed.

Awesome! Thank you Bungie for all the hard work to address the melee issue! I'm excited to play some halo tonight to see how noticeable the update is.

Honestly? I loved the flying bodies. I wish they stayed, what with the new melee system and all. Make a video of two people trying to melee each other in slow motion and both die and fly backwards, and put Neodammerung from the Matrix in the background, and you had an awesome video. D:

  • 02.20.2008 4:37 AM PDT

Might be a stoopid question but......

Does this make my updated version of Halo 3 incompatible with versions of the game that are not updated? (like my mate who doesnt have live)

I am glad the auto update is coming out. After reading this post Halo 3's cheapness is now understandable, there have been several (well tons actually) times in combat where I am left sitting there thinking or saying no F-ing way, I swung way before he did and his shield was down while mine was not and I died, the latency was the cause. I don't have the fastest connection in the world (Qwest DSL, which is good but far from great) most games it shows my connection as one bar less then the other players. So now that it was explained to me in terms I understand it makes more sense as to why I was always coming up short when it came to a Beat Down... Hopefully we will see an improvement and be able to notice it as well, because lets be honest, not all of us are kids with parents paying for a pimp internet service with a rockin fast connection (damn, fiber optics would be nice) or young adults with disposable income, and it was cheap to watch your videos and still be left wondering "Why did I Die?" I look forward to the update (although I will miss the flying bodies, damn funny!). Thanks Bungie for the many countless hours of enjoyment your games have brought us over the years, keep up the good work!!!

while that is good and all...my main concern with the melee is the LUNGE...why was it not taken out?

Melee Lunge and no Halo 1 on live is the 2 wrong things you guys have missed up on, as for the rest....good job, but I still hate no fall damage...haha

much better, i only installed the update an hour ago but i've already been killed and achieved a kill in melle clashes around six times. the one thing i'm wondering though is if bungie will ever fix the sniper glitch, it's just so annoying when you shoot someone in the head 4 times, they don't die, they spot u and shoot u 1 time and you die.

I would have to say that I am glad of all this, I was fine with the old melee system, as I had adapted my play style to minimize encounters of that sort, and my overall stats improved because of it. But I am very glad that now if I am forced into a situation, it will be clear why I died and the other guy didn't... LOL. Nice work,

Although the comedic bodies flying through the air are no more and that makes me sad! There have been many a time that a flying body has intercepted a rocket or sticky and saved my ass!

Halo 3's lunge distance is a lot smaller from Halo 2's - it really confuses me because some games i will be lunging all over the place and others i will melee and not go anywhere and miss my attack... to me it seems like the AR and Mauler have longer lunges than the BR and Carbine if the later have any at all

anyways im happy about this update cant wait to try it out.... wait i cant because i got the RED RING OF DEATH 2 nights ago and have to send my XBOX in
