Subject: Weekly What's Update: 2/29/08

Every update is a good update to me but just one question.

Can you guys please fix the fact that i have passed the graduate achievement without receiving it? I'm semi-certain i'm not the only one experiencing this problem and i'd like to get the sword on my back one of these days.

Thanks.

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

ok update; lacking in misterchiefness. That was alot of time spent on Bump.

I guess I like the "fixed" melee ok, there does seem to be an increase in simultaneous deaths but if that's how it happens, it seems fair to me.

I do want to thank you for adding ranked Big Team back into matchmaking. Lots of us big-teamers from H2 were quieter folks who didn't spend lots of time screaming about what we want or need on messages boards. But I'm glad a small group did enough yelling for the majority. It'll be even better with a few more maps in the hopper.

I'll still never understand the furor over recon....

this thread is full of so many retards that its ridicules

It took until the eight question to finally get a definite answer on something. Why even bother responding if the proposed question isn't going to be directly addressed?

A fake update for a fake date.

I like how Bungie said that it would be no problem to add new armor perms as DLC and then said they are very difficult to do.

Shinzen declares with poison on his tongue:
When are you going to stop trying to be mysterious with your information? It was cute for the first 5 years or so, but now it's just stupid. Seriously. Get over yourselves and make with the info.

Answer: Ah, that would be telling! Let’s just say that information about information will be forthcoming!

Plugin1 asks:
Will you give a straight answer to any questions concerning Bungie's future projects or anything else of a similar nature?

Answer: Maybe


LMAO. that is really funny

You fans are dumb if you are satisfied with this and are not really fans if you are so blindly satisfied. Bungie is not answering our questions. This fan database is better than any other game company's (except for Steam and Valve's) but only because we have so much freedom. Our voices are never heard unless Bungie wants to promote their game.

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...

...Come to think of it,maybe I shouldn't threaten Bungie...well this was the first time I got reply to a news article so there's one good thing about the weekly update.

Awsome update :)

Alot of those answers were helpful, which is awsome. I kinda figured that DLC armour would be hard to do, would you not have to put the armour into an auto update? I am assuming it has to be, because everyone would need to have the files to see it ingame, and having it on the marketplace does not garentee everyone having it, and could lead to version mismatches? Correct me if I'm wrong, but that is kind of what I figured.

Can't wait untill next weeks :)

^Bungie Cares about it's customers.

In the weekly update it mentioned a reply to a question, it said that there is a thread dedicated to team snipers and team SWAT. Could this be just like the team hardcore thread and how it asks for your ideas so that Bungie can make these playlists?

Campiagn Kill Count :31,745. And growing.

The Revisionaries- One of the greatest screenshot groups on B.net. With 250 members and growing.

Eh.. this week's answered a few questions, but not as many as I'm sure we'd all like.

I think what most people were looking for weren't entirely answered, such as playlists (Team snipers, SWAT, Living Dead list) but they hinted they know they are very popular options, and are treating them all the same way hardcore was treated from Halo 2.

So to me, it looks like they're putting them into consideration.

I'm dissapointed that there won't probably be any additional armor put into the game, but seeing that there will be more tournaments is an upside.

I thought there were going to be pictures, or at least a section of te update, about Moonlight Sotana this week. Or maybe I read it wrong..

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


LOL SUPER QUOTE!!! KEEP THE QUOTE GOING PEOPLE
How about, no? I'd rather have an answer than a huge-ass quote pyramid. I typed my initial question yesterday and came back today, but alas, no answer.
