About the armour perms, i'd pay MS points to get some new ones!

Maroon 5 is awesome. Deal with it.

poor bungie i understand how you feel

Beaverkill2227 asks:

Is it true that Recon is unlockable. I'm not asking for hints or for recon itself. Just wondering if it is truly unlockable.


No, it is NOT UNLOCKABLE. Bungie has to gift it to you. So please don’t spam mailboxes, or come up with crazy schemes. It will be a natural organic process. Bungie will give it to folks who’re cool, do something nice, play well, perform good deeds, whatever. They will NOT give it to anyone who harasses or harangues them. And don't complain about the vague criteria either, or you go on the "complainer" list of no Recon.


i get pestered by this one guy everyday for recon, very very annoying

I've got a question. Why isn't the Firebomb grenade used in multiplayer!? It's only used in about three places in Campaign anyways, so I kinda feel as if I've been cheated out of two grenade slots in Halo 3. Multiplayer would be way more interesting and new if they added the Firebombs into matchmaking. If not, I know you're not going to add another Frag and Plasma grenade, so what gives!? If somebody say, "It's for balance, lol" I'm going to explode.

And, yes. I'm totally aware that you can add them in Forge, but that's not my question. I'm talking about matchmaking.

Question Authority

now im not usually one to call someone out like this but c'mon
and i quote..."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.

It's not quite as retarded as the "hype machine" CliffyB (the internets only rockstar OMG!) mentioned recently, but it's pretty close.

Seriously. Get over yourselves and make with the info."

now while we all understand your frustration with the seemingly slow trickle on hard info from bungie, but you have to use a little more logic when trying in insist on such a claim. if you had it your way you would get two sentences of info from bungie, maybe every 2 months. Because solids its for sure going to happen news just doesnt quite roll around at a nascar like pace. Now they could tell you every little idea that pops into their head too, and still you would be complaining because you would be reading a 12 page article everyday and 98.5685% of it would never come true.
In essence keep in mind they have to keep sanity in the community and the world if their plan for world domination is to come to fruition, and if being a little wishy washy on info is the way they must do it, well then so be it.

In response to Frankie's post:

And on that note, that's why you have GAMETYPES and FORGE to enjoy those new maps with the weapons and equipment you like. As far as matchmaking goes...

WHERE THE HECK DID RUMBLE AND TEAM FIESTA GAMETYPES GO? >_<

Seriously though, I remember a whole lotta gametypes in H2! Bring em back =\


You're the only person that liked Fiesta gametypes so you can see whyt hey didn't come back.

NEVER BRING BACK FIESTA BUNGIE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!

Ah, as Anon is the Internet Hate Machine, Bungie is the Internet Hype Machine.

And I just responded to the post above because I couldn't find the regular reply button.

  • 03.01.2008 8:44 PM PDT

those future tournaments better have prizes that dont not go away to the noobs who have too much time on their hands.

  • 03.01.2008 10:53 PM PDT

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Cheeto is the only one among you that doesn't suck.

Legitt Legit asks:

Are there any intentions on making [sic] a foundry like map set in the open instead of a warehouse?

Reception to Foundry has been really positive. We’re impressed with the types of content that folks have created with the tools at their disposal.


I love how bungie can easily avoid answering a question. They are better at avoiding question that making video games. And that was not an insult to bungie.

Dear future world kings (bungie):

I want to know if you have any plans on making guest players have more...diversity. I love playing social 2 player with my bro in my 62'' HDTV, but it sucks that, since he mostly plays like a guest, he cant use some armor he had unlock in his profile. So I was thinking that perhaps it will be a good idea that guests can only use the armors that the original gamer (not guest) has unlock. It's social, so i guess most people wont mind. Also, it sucks to have like 6 guests in my team, were all of them are O00, its annoying. Either way, I hope any of you guys can read this, and think about it. Thanks for an awesome game, can't wait for the new maps (>_<).

Thanks in advance,
LordReygnier

Well that was a crap update.

Half the page was about a control scheme. Goody, I'll be prepared now when somebody asks me about the holy, well kept secrets of Bumper Jumper. W00t. But I guess that's better then hearing them tell us that we'd come up with "wrong" control scheme our selfs.


Normally, I like the Q & A section but this is the first time for me where Bungie's inability to answer simple questions. I can understand not answering ones about current developments involving the game, but when someone asks if theres a possibility of a forge map like Foundry taking place outside and we basically get "Well, everyone super-loves our Foundary map, we're really proud of how great we are for making it and basically instead of answering that we're going to hope that people milk this map out for all it's worth before we have to actually answer simple questions." Serious, sometimes Bungie makes CliffyB look like someone I'd want to be best friends with.

  • 03.02.2008 3:23 AM PDT

Bungie please resolve the Banshee Barrel-Roll Legendary-Thumbstick Issue.

The Bumper Config is lame

...using jump more than reload oftentimes does not happen
...melee is over rated, back up and use timing

RANT TIME!!!!

They spend so much time talking about a button-config which is stupid cause people should be able to choose any config within reason

HOW COME THEY NEVER FIXED THE BANSHEE-BARREL ROLL/ LEGACY THUMBSTICK PROBLEM....ITS BEEN 3 GAMES AND SIX YEARS.....LOOKS LIKE BUNGIE IS STILL HATING ON (JEALOUS) OF GOLDENEYE STILL......

i know, i know

Goldeyen left huge shoes to fill in regards to console FPS...but please stop punishing people who played Goldeneye and PDark up until HaloCE

-sigh-

ok, i havent written that in a few months and had to get it outa my system

guess i will just have to wait until Halo4

"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. "

So fix their physics. That's a pretty weak excuse for removing something people liked from a game.

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Cool stuff - i'm stuck in Colorado on a business trip. This made my day compared to being stuck in the Hotel!!!

thanks dudes

  • 03.02.2008 12:19 PM PDT

hey just curious... when will hornets be used in match making?

  • 03.02.2008 12:32 PM PDT

Question Authority

hey just curious... when will hornets be used in match making? question from real mad c 6969



although yes the hornets are fun, they are way overpowered and annoying in real gametypes, so i doubt that they will ever show up in matchmaking, and if they do, it will be in an unranked playlist

  • 03.02.2008 1:04 PM PDT

-A witty signature that can be placed on the bottom of all your forum posts.

For those who are -blam!-ing about no new armor perms, it can't happen because they didn't program it to be able to add new ones in. Think of it like velcro. With new maps, your disc already has the "hook" side of the velcro in code, and the DLC maps are the fuzzy side. With armor perms, there is no functionality (hook side) to accept the new perms (fuzzy side). Granted, they should have thought of this during development, and I'd bet money if they'd had a few more months it would have been there.

I'm still pissed about the no fire grenades thing. Yes, I know they are performance hogs, but I seriously doubt 1 or 2 fire grenades is going to be worse than someone spraying the flamethower back and forth all over place like they do know since its the exact same graphical effect. I'm not saying they should put them all over the place like spikes/plasmas are now. Maybe 1 per base in a symmetrical map.

you know what would be cool if they put something on maket place to download one of my ideas was to put a seprate thing in halo 3 called helmet forge. where you are able to design your own helmets and wear them now that would be awsome!!!!!!!!!

  • 03.02.2008 3:24 PM PDT

that would be cool. but again it would defeat the purpose of unlocking helmets. unless you had to forge on them.
and i noticed a two glitches. one is the ghost vid in my fileshare (im waiting for a response from you, bungie.)

and you cannot equipt mark 5 head, mark 6 arms, and eod bod ( halo 1 Master Chief). when you do, it shows on your service record that u look like default mark 6 armor. what is with that. and i think you need the default color too, although im not sure it matters.
