Is there any sign of Infection coming back as a possible pertinent social other than just the occasional special game type?

  • 03.02.2008 9:55 PM PDT

God dangit Beaverkill2227, why did you have to ask such a retarded question? How much clearer can it be: YOU CANT UNLOCK RECON! I guarantee my entire life savings your on their "dont give recon to_______" list



CAN I HAZ RECON? kidding, I have enough common sense and patience to wait.

You splattered a dumb cat

Bumper Jumper? R u seriously insinuating that this control scheme is the best for pros? One word for you: "Claw." It is the more intuitive control "scheme" that will give you the desired effect of having access to all buttons simultaneously.

Simply put, it uses default button layout, but it is what you do with your fingers that makes the difference. On your right hand, instead of using your index finger for the trigger and bumper, bring that finger to the top of the controller to acces the A,B, X, Y buttons. Next, bring your middle finger to cover what your index finger no longer has access to, trigger and bumper buttons.

EASY as pie, and no, it won't give you carpal tunnel syndrome either. I've been using it since Halo 1 (but I suck at video games in general, so yeah, my stats show me as a noob, lol).

It is much easier to use the Claw method than re-learning the controls all over again to accomplish the same thing.

-------------------------------------

Oh, and thanks for NOT ANSWERING any questions about Forge or Foundry. Really, this is the feature what will keep Halo 3 alive for the next 2-5 years, yet you find no reason to answer more than one insignificant question related to the possibility of another Foundry-style map. Oh wait, you didn't even answer that one.

To duncan above, its called punctuation. Try using it sometime and it might make it a little easier to read your post. I think I'm allowed a teeny-bit of sarcasm for answering your question. ;-)

To answer your question, go HERE to find instructions for clearing out your cache on your 360. The abnormality is likely due to the Auto Update. Scroll down to the paragraphs discussing the auto-update.

[edit] Crappers, double post. My bad, I thought this was a hot topic so I replied quickly. Too quickly, I guess...

Is it me or does it seem that everytime there is a Q&A that 80% of the questions are not even answered or the answer is so vague that we don't even know what to do with it? Here is my favorite:
Legitt Legit asks:
Are there any intentions on making [sic] a foundry like map set in the open instead of a warehouse?

Reception to Foundry has been really positive. We’re impressed with the types of content that folks have created with the tools at their disposal.


What kind of response is that? A Yes or No is all he wanted. Sure you don't want to give all the secrets away (then you would have to deliver the goods), but seriously, if there is not going to be a solid answer, why even post the Question to be answered anyway.
Here is another one of my favorites:
S1l3ntButD4adly asks:
Will there ever be a Team Snipers or Team SWAT playlist in the future?

Team Snipers and Team SWAT are two of the most requested playlists and we’re definitely aware of that, in fact, there’s even a dedicated thread in Optimatch to discuss the playlist. Deduce from that what thou wilst.


Another Yes or No question answered like this: "Hey, everybody loves Snipers and SWAT. Did you know that there is a forum to talk about it? Check it out!"
There are playlist's added all the time we just can't seem to get what we want. We can't even get a straight answer.

I don't want to join your group.

I liked the update. It coincides with me trying to switch from claw to bumper jumper, so I enjoyed that. The Q&A was different, but cool. I wish I had known you were going to do that; I would've had better questions... sadface...

hello, this is just a suggestion, I think next update you should have an option to delete all items on forge for the host only! Please reply with thoughts.

they need to save this game and save it quickly! its already fallen behind cod4, soon it will fall even further behind (prob behind guitar hero 3 lol) and when gears 2 comes out halo 3 will be pretty much dead.

sad that for halo 3 they abandoned their hardcore audience but the hardcore crowd will probably be the only ones playing in a few months... the ones that are still left lol.

Good update, Bungie.

The strongest leaders in history kept their followers in the dark regarding information deemed valuable and corruptable, but they all eventually came to an untimely end. Bungie is playing it smart by giving us a spoonful every once and a while so we do not revolt. LOL

I look forward to the next tournament. Good Work Bungie. I also look forward to seeing what you guys do next.

Hey Bungie,

Also, don't listen to that guy who says that Halo is a dying breed in gaming. CoD4 is cool, but it is not a game I play to have fun. Halo 3 has my favorite online multiplayer and Co-op of any game I have ever played. I have read the stories and have deeply enjoyed every second of reading and playing through campaign. You have a classic here. Don't listen to the haters.

  • 03.03.2008 8:52 PM PDT

Finished the fight.

Sw33t update.
Just one thing though. No removing push-to-talk on the basis that it's a bandwidth hog? Maybe should steal a thing or two from other great online games that support 16+ players with active talk yet don't suffer slower gameplay from it. Just throwing cod4 out there as an example...

  • 03.03.2008 10:59 PM PDT

Great update Bungie as always! Can't wait for the upcoming information and changes to the MM hoppers!

  • 03.04.2008 8:01 AM PDT

i agree with gaurdian wariorz
cod 4 cant compete with halo
i mean you dont get vehicals. come on.

  • 03.04.2008 8:08 AM PDT

open chat is nice but gameplay is more important to me. sure cod4 is a great game, and ive spent a few months playing it but when its all said and done, its very one dimensional in comparison to halo. For fun and competitive play, halo tops them all.

i tried bumper jumper for a night and my brain just doesnt work that way after thousands of games of halo. back to default for me
