Hey lukems, I have a question. Will there be any new Elite amor choices in the future? They seem to be really "ignored" if you know what I mean. (Recon spartan, flaming spartan skulls, katana spartan body, but not too much Elite special armor)

Jo

I was reading about this update and i must say that the Bumper Jumper update sounds really good becasue like you guys said, a fraction of a second can definetly make a huge difference to kill another enemy. I just wanted to say that this was definetly another one your great ideas. Good job guys, thank you for bringing such good entertainement and gameplay to us(us being the general public).

i still want to know who predicted the parts of the story pre-halo 3 release [as stated in a bungie podcast before halo was released]

i have sent many messages since that day to still be denied an reply, let alone an answer. please end my eternal pondering on this matter.

The line of "salvaging bandwidth" in response to fixing the push to talk, is a big load of horse -blam!-. People choose games by best connection so there is plenty of bandwidth to spare.
I call laziness on the developers part.
Just fix it. PTT sux

It would be nice to have a rader jammer and flare as stated,and new armour perm's would be nice.The rader jammer could help if you see four guy's on your rader throw it out and now they dont know where you are =p

I agree the push to talk button is retarded all you have to do is be careful of what you say.

Futue te ipsum!

I must be missing something... I welcome game updates but that was lame. Why do people post "great update" when there was nothing of any interest? Do you guys read updates from other studios... Newsflash - other studios actually put information of value in their updates.

I'm a passionate Bungie fan and I love the Halo universe but these updates take the cake. Last one I'm reading.

There isn't always something new to report, every Week...

To sum my point up, "wow".

Wow what other sites do you see that are involved as much as bungie? apparently you arent as passionate as you say you are...

You guys need to be patient, every day there is not going to be an update..

They had a choice, put this up for a little bit of conversation, or leave the site alone, and have more people complain about MOAR DLC...

We got humpday, and podcasts, and map updates, and these question things, almost everyday, some sites do it like once a week, so jeesh give dem a break? ok?

Bungie you drive me crazy 50% of these post were USELESS!!!

Why do you always leave us hanging with information on the new map and major updates,ect....

(I believe the people that actually are this interested in halo,to actually read this stuff should get more major inside information. other than an annoying school teacher saying, "just be patient.")

Subject: i got a really badass idea

How is armor hard to make DLC. You give recon and you guys gave everyone commando...

Those armor perms are already baked into the disc, the art is drawn, the physics have been tested, the animations have been produced, and the user interface has been coded. All they have to do is turn them on and give you access to them (or you collect skulls which are tested for in the code and "magically" made visible in the UI).. For example, if the UI wasn't coded to read the list of available armor permuation options from a configuration file, then the list isn't easily expandable.It's not a simple as it looks.

Bungie has already said that maps are fully contained constructs that include everything (including copies of the weapons) required to operate the map with the exception of the players on the field.
