worst update I've ever had to read. #1. We didn't get any information on the new maps #2. I had to read a page about controller layout for 20 minutes #3. Everyone's questions were answered vaguely, garnering no real answers for anything #4. We didn't get any information on the new maps...

Where are you new maps!?!?1 :(

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

plz fix maylay

Good update =)

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

hmm l like the Qs and As updates but u guys mostly answer the ones that have been asked only a million times already and for some reason ppl cant seem to understand that a developer cant reveal everything without months of testing and planning

  • 02.29.2008 4:32 PM PDT

Life is interesting...

How is armor hard to make DLC.

You give recon and you guys gave everyone commando...

Another pathetic and terrible update. That one guy was right, holding information was cute for a while, now its utterly pathetic and no wonder COD4 is owning the -blam!- out of Halo3.

Alot of people left because they feel let down by retards who won't tell us anything other than -blam!- that has been repeated a million times.

This was the worst Q and A I've ever read. You guys didn't even answer half of the questions.

"Making a helmet with a frowny face is easy!!!11!!!1"

- if it really is, then why not make it. As bad as it may sound it will be a lot better than all of your other perms.

- "Patience on the new maps"

- yea... uhhh... we payed 60 bucks for the game to instantly realize it was full of glitches, bad maps, and played the exact same way as Halo 2. Then we waited for the Heroic Map Pack which was a joke. (besides Standoff, but I rarely see that map, even in the DLC playlist) And you can't even give us a clue about the new maps?!

Seriously, and you completely ignored most of the good questions, and the half decent ones that you answered sounded like they came out of a two year olds mouth... or were you just drunk or something.

No one cares about your lives or anything else about you. No one cares about how you got beaten up in High School which lead to your career in video games. Most of what you people type in these updates is full of that crap.

I've mentioned this before, but I was thinking (hoping) that it would get dealt with in the most recent update. It was not. Here's my problem (again, for those of you who've read it before, and if you're sick of hearing it, help me get it fixed):

I have the Basic Training Medal. I do not have the Basic Training Achievement. This is frustrating, as the helmet that I want to wear is the helmet that should be (but isn't) unlocked as a result of this (falsely skipped) achievement. I also want to be sure that I can get the sweet sword strapped on my back after getting the rest of the achievements. I'm a giant halo geek (I did this: http://robertnbowen.blip.tv), and I cry myself to sleep every night because I'm missing important Halo loot. Please give to me the important Halo loot (not recon... though I won't turn it down) Thanks once again to the Bungie crew for some quality combat simulation.

Ok update, kinda funny what happened to that Lord British impersonizer. So that means that the system was not made to add new armor, but you can easily take away armor or distribute it, like you guys did for Commando and Recon, right?

Not even an small idea of when the last map pack will be made free...
I am big on MLG and GameBattles and they arent putting their foundry variants in the ladders until they are free and you guys still havent givin us anything as to when they are free. its not like this needs to be a super-secret like everything else you guys do...

Yep. Exactly what I expected. I asked some serious, hard-hitting questions and I didn't even get the standard, vague, sarcastic response.

Even seemingly easy and straightforward questions like "Will there ever be a Team Snipers or Team SWAT playlist in the future?" gets a stupid answer. How about a simple "yes" or "no"? We're not talking state secrets here. We're talking about a popular request from a "community" that Bungie supposedly cares about. Guess we can all see how much they really care.

  • 02.29.2008 4:42 PM PDT

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

u would think a Heroic Member should know Bungie does this kinda thing often but seriously ur being a selfish bastard they release info in certain dates for a reason

Why so upset? We're not making any announcements about anything right now and we certainly haven't shut any doors but you're getting all upset and uppity here on the Internet.

After reading and re-reading your post. Carefully examining every point you made, I have come to the conclusion that you left out evidence to substantiate your claim. Congratulations, you are an idiot.

First post, after luke right?

Not the greatest update ever, but I liked the question time.

I like the relative open-ness of the update Q&A section, and the fresh topic of the bumper jumper, but I was expecting something along the lines of an update for current projects (ie, DLC) and while this was an interesting update, my thirst for information about upcoming content was not quite satisfied to the degree I expected it to be, especially after last weeks total reveal of Ghost Town.

Susinctly, interesting update, fresh perpective, great Q&A, but it was like movie popcorn drapped in similarly colored golden grease as the text; tastes good, but not that filling.

But why should I complain? I was entertained for free by the wit of bungie.

regardless, I like the idea of the frankie helmet.

Every week is a map reveal or an announcement of a game in fantasy land.
