Subject: Bungie Weekly Update: 2/22/08

I don't mind the beat down update. I think it had to be done, but there is one problem that i have had since the beginning. I have been playing online and more than 10 out of the last 20 games, i have been MVP, i have had a + death spread of more than 5 almost every time, one was 15, and i have not gone up a numbered rank. Once i lose a game, i go down a rank. For the last 3 days this has happened, and for some reason, my teammate who has - death spreads of more than 5, or is not the MVP of the game, goes up in numbered rank. I am very frusturated and it is a nuesence. It's like getting a 98 on an exam and not getting praised for it. I am not making this up. You can check my recent games on this website and you will see a problem. I know your website does not make the game, but you support it so its as close as i can get. Please, with all due respect, i need feedback so we can get this straigtened out and find out why i am not going up in ranks. I have had fantasic games, with Killing Frenzies, Sword sprees, more than 16 out of 25 kills, and i still have not gone up a numbered rank. Not one. Please help me out here, or fix it in your next update. You should make the system like Halo 2, where if you win, no matter how many deaths you had, you go up a fraction of that rank, and even if you lose, you still stay the same rank, only going down if u lose alot of games in a row. It was a brilliant system, and now its based on i don't know what. Its messed up. PLeas fix it.

dude quit your whining

its not the system, but no offense its you man

you started off on isolation... team doubles and your team won but you came in second
then you went on to lose in Epitaph
you then won again but this time coming in first in snowbound
then you lost on construct
won on construct (1st)
won on guardian (2nd place)
won on snowbound (2nd place)
lost on Epitaph (last place)
DNF loss on Guardian ( last place)
DNF loss on Isolation (last place)
won on narrows (1st)
lost on construct (last)

THEN YOU RANKED DOWN

so that is

+1
-1
+1
-1
+1
+1
+1
-1
-1 (DNF)
-1 (DNF)
+1
-1


if you add it all up you end up back at 0! but the two DNF factored in and i think thats what happened to you man

just trying to help

with all respect, you should have just called it a night and played some social slayer or something


but you may have something here... i know this contradicts the previous part of this post but...

when i play double teams i tend to rank up two to three ranks at a time... but then again i play with higher ranked players lol im only like a 20 in doubles so youre teh same boat as everyone else man

some people meed to take a chill pill.. also i noticed that all of the puppy love people were removed? did they all cheat? or did they decline?

anyway think it'd be hilarious if bungie just for the hell of it handed out recon to a few random people just to see what the community does. tho with all the promblems its causing in the XBL community and the halo one as well it would seem the only way to fix the problem with you needy bastards is to put it out there so you can buy it or just unlock it for us all. i which case recon is ruined all because you "needed it" so baddly you PMed luke every day for the last 4 months asking for it and even tried hacking of of the B.net mods tags just so you could play with it. god... bungie comes out with a reward and if you have to work for it you all get pissed and start begging, its ridculous...

i digress.

looking forward to the new maps guys, cant wait to see what i can make in forge and what kinda pictures i can produce from the new scenery. keep up the kick ass work just please let a few community videos back onto bungie favs... i've rather sick of seeing MLG ones >.<

Cheers~

Where is recon for V-day winners Bungie? They deserve it!

  • 02.26.2008 4:07 AM PDT

I got my Recon for the '08 VDay tournament for second most kills; 2671.

I didn't "earn" it via VidMasters.

Oh well. We'll just have to wait....

ok i thought i would just like to mention a couple of things discussed in this forum. first, i am looking foward to the new maps. Ghost Town looks like it will become a good classic. on that point i would like to mention this in case any bungie dudes decide in order to burn some time to read rants and complaints of their players on forums, that as far as more maps go, please do more remakes. in fact it would be perfect if you just did remakes from this point on. there are so many maps from all 4 games (Halo PC being one of the 4. Yes i know Gearbox did it but you could humble yourselves and remake some of their ingenious maps). you already have made so many amazing maps that i never got tired of. but i cant help but mention that some of the halo 3 maps just lack that epic halo feeling. i cant really explain it but it would be just perfect if you could just remake a large portion of all the great halo classics. second thing i need to say is that for all you cod4 lovers out there. i have played the call of duty games on the PC from the beginning and Cod4 truly sucks. if you look at the grand picture it really is a poor game. it is so unbalanced its not even funny. there is way too much dying, the weapons are way too powerful because they are modern and obviously quite deadly. the multiplayer maps are also too small for that kind of extremely lethal combat. were they bigger it might be different. this is just one of those games that really is ultimately idiotic in the grand scheme of things. its just too unrealistic and too frustrating at times. its completely different from the previous games and nowhere near as epic or cool. bottom line:Halo 3 is still better because there is actually balance and true satisfaction in play and not bull-blam!- deaths where you're unloading on someone and he runs at you, dodges your bullets and then knifes you. thats unbalanced, stupid, annoying, unrealistic and -blam!- all at the same time. o and btw i got a perfection round. got it saved and on fileshare 18 and 0 canz i have recon armor bungie?? lol if you decide to be charitable, my GT is the same as my username.

Oh man that sucks! I hope bungie is able to figure out a way to protect our accounts or something and hand out the prizes soon.

it's easy to rank up in a hopper you haven't played yet especially if you play doubles with someone higher ranked than you. For instance I played doubles with my friend who was a 45 on my new account and everygame we won I leveled up 4 to 5 ranks because we kept winning but now when I get to 47 we keep winning losing winning losing and eventually it because to where it takes 12 games to win in a row to level up. that is the easy way of explaining the level system it's like gum that at first is easy to chew and the older it gets the harder it is to change just like your level

what i ment by the lower your rank the faster it goes i ment your actual rank for example if your regular rank is major your skill rank goes up slower but if your a private for instance your skill rank goes up way faster because im a captain grade to and in the vd tornament my partners were all majors and wen we won id always go up and theyd be stuck at one imparticular rank.

Is there a place to see an overview map of the entire "map" of all the H3 maps like the one of Ghost Town on this weeks review?

Thanks!

I have to say that I'm very disappointed that there are no Fire Grenades on this map. I have a feeling Bungie thinks it's an inside joke to never include those in any map, because I can't remember the last time I threw one playing online, if I ever have. The fire grenade is the most fun weapon that's the least utilized. For the love of fun multiplayer, please stop leaving out fire grenades!

This is why I dont particularly enjoy isolation... one sniper? I guess its just me but i am a sniper fiend, I enjoy sniper battles and mostly enjoy counter sniping serial snipers taking out my teammates when they cant even see me... if I am wrong I will correct myself because I will check after this but from first glance... there was only one.

Also, I have befriended about four V-Day winners and they are out raged that is Tuesday and still no Recon armor... Does any Bungie employee have any explanation for this?>

This is why us Recon winners have yet to get our armor. Someone has had their account stolen over this. When all of this is sorted out, I'm sure Bungie will let us have our armor. Until then, we're just going to have to wait. Hopefully we can expect our armor very soon and wish Bilfredd good luck with recovering his account.

Whats this remarkable Lee R. Wilsonian devotion to the plasma grenade in the Valentine’s Day playlist, they speak of? I wish to encounter this myself if anyone could help me with that.
