GT: AuziesWrath :)

Ok, I RE-read the update and found it, and they said they only didn't do this because they thought people would create the ''wrong'' thing. But how is it wrong when it's just what they want... thats why they customized it that way! But you should have made it customizable with limits to it. Like letting me switch my bumper jumper, but not putting switch grenade on the trigger. But it's way too late so I'm wasting my time... I"m going to go play some Halo...

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

Yay for the new hire! It sounds like he'll be involved with matchmaking so I'll probably have a new friend on the Optimatch forums. Sounds good.

About what was said involving killing each other with swords:That happened to me in a swords match in rumble pit.I came around a corner to find somebody, so we began a sword duel.But on the second slash, we somehow assassinated each other.It was really funny, and is on my file share.my Gt is Ownage5o, and you should watch it

Grr,Bungie hasn't answered my question:
Will there be the option of changing the colour of your visors in the future,I mean it's just adding an extra colour selection,so how hard can it be?

If you do not give us coloured visors You will be cursed with flying warthogs until you give in!MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!Now let me start summoning the warthogs...

1. BR spread NEEDS TO BE FIXED
2. bumper jumper would have been awesome only if the right bumper was still to reload and pick up weapons. i cant stand having melee on the right bumper, it just doesn't feel natural.

having the ability to use jump on the left bumper is great, but so is getting to reload (since u do it so much more in halo 3) on the right bumper.

melee should stay where it is. consider this bungie! at least test it out!!

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?


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
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 think its because they are too weapons that annoy the -blam!- out of people

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


Yeah i know I luv pissing people off because I use the flare and magically jump off the level

You might as well call Recon armor a Fancy Fedora, because that's all it is really.

You didn't look at my questions. Sad Face. :(

You answered quite a good set of questions I had. Happy Face. :D

All in all, not bad...only fluke was the non-existance of new map pics...but I'm patient, I'll wait. Smiley Face. :)

When i read the question about a foundry map but in the open (in other words a map with all the items but in a blank open outside area) i was really looking forward to the answer from bungie.

But bungies answer was we are happy about the way people have used our tools or somthing...

Once again a great question has a totally offtopic reply. I wish they said somthing like maybe in the future or we arnt going to talk about it yet, at least its related to the question

  • 02.29.2008 6:43 PM PDT

Yeah I would like the list available to public

Bungie! Great update, although to be honest I skipped the massive amount of text in the Bumper Jumper.

It was refreshing to have a good sit down Q and A with a bunch of much needed questions.

I have a question though. A few podcasts ago, there was a slight mention of "The Halo 1 Pistol" returning. It was played off as something completely ridiculous, yet it seemed to have a ring of truth to it judging by the way everyone spoke.

Now, I know that you can't give a direct answer at the moment, but can we get any kind of confirmation of a hint, nay, a slight dribble of info that this may come true?

Putting a scope back on the pistol and allowing it be placed more in MM would make me happy in the pants.

Cheers and Thanks!

Nice but boring update!?
You seen calm bungie but i bet you would get scared if some one says "halo3 sucks monkey nuts" and you would be like "AAAHH BANHAMER BANNNHAMMERRR"!

  • 02.29.2008 6:59 PM PDT

One question
Are you guys ever going to think about making a thing possible on the site to upload peoples halo 3 videos right to the computer?
I know geevee.com is doing it but i think it would work so much better on bungie because you know how the system works the best.
please comment back thanks

Ah yes, another weekly hit of crack from our fear mongering, recon wearing, banhammering dictators. Nothing was really said here...i think the bumper jumper info in the beginning was the best topic of the article.
*sigh*
Bungie tends to give less information about upcomming halo 3 events than America's media does about what our current government is currently cooking up in their meth labs we like to call the house and senate.
*double sigh*
But as long as i get my hit every friday (regardless of the fact today shouldnt be a day) i'm happy.

-Peace-

ODST Spartan Jet Pack Special Unit

Why have you guys not put full armor sets in? Why don't Rogue, Mark V, ODST, and Security have a full set of armor? I took a poll and 34 out of 36 people said they wanted complete sets of armor for EVERY piece. Can you please tell me if you have thought of doing this and if so, why have you not done it yet?

  • 02.29.2008 7:33 PM PDT

I love to play customs.

Nice job Bungie! Keep up the mysterious personality.
