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.


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.

weeeeee-ooooooooooooo-weeeeeeeeeeeee-ooooooooooooooooo

Thanks for reinforcing my point.


Maybe we should have a rap battle and settle this.

In the case of the Flare and the Radar Jammer, those objects had physics properties that let folks do things they shouldn't have been doing.
Such as? If I can recall, the Flare/Radar Jammer are both the same shape and geometric properties of the Energy Drainer, so if what you are talking about is the double-jump capability with these equipment, how is the Energy Drainer in MM, but Flare/Radar Jammer out?

EDIT: This question just popped back into my head. What is with the MAJOR decrease in Shotty Snipers games and increase in BR starts in Slayer/Skirmish? You guys gave into the whole MLG -blam!--fest about BR games, and totally annihilated Shotty Snipes games? Jeez! I loved the occasional sniper match, but now I can't even get one.

this wasnt much of an update, it was just something to occupy my time by reading questions ive already heard of....

EDIT: btw i know that it is very possible and somewhat simple to add new armor permanitions; 1) Bungie can load recon on to anyone's gamertag account. 2) Bungie can and has made options that expand gameplay and unlock features (Bungie Pro, DLC). And because of that, (ill use this as an example) Bungie could wire new armor armor perminitons to everyone who has bought Bungie Pro.
Bungie is smart and could think of something more clever than that if this is to happen. BTW for any of you nerds who are going to reply to this by saying "you spelled perminitions wrong!"...... jump down a well

People were actually able to grab these items, jump, and while in the air, drop the item squat and jump at the same time, causing them to push off the dropped equipment and reach further heights. Phew

I was thinking because the energy drain drains all your shields so you'd have to do it when no one is looking at you.

Theres a video of me jumping up on the glass wall in Construct by grenade jumping and then using a flare. Love doing that when it used to be there.

YEah, I know. That's what I meant by the double jump capability. It became worldwide thanks to the Sniper School video. But, like I previously stated, the double jump is capable with all 3, so why are the Flare/Radar Jammer out but power drainer in?

I have a question that will probably go unanswered and sit aimlessly in cyberspace. But here goes:

Why did bungie not make you create your OWN layout, for example, let you customize what button does what. Instead of making a handful of options (Four), but rather have lots of possibilities that give everyone what they want? I personally play bumper jumper, but would greatly appreciate the bumpers being switched.

If so, that's a pretty lame excuse. The Radar Jammer was tactical in CTF and Assault, and the Flare was good for any flank, especially on Guardian. Yeah, they are annoying, but if you use them for what they were built for, then they are MORE useful than a Power Drainer
