please tell me you are not going to list the winners of the prizes because it makes them become a victom of being hacked especially some one like me who is a general grade 2 and has 1600 exp.

You know what could help?
Not getting any prizes, at all ;V

No, joke aside now:
If they are really going to be hacked (and I seriously doubt it),
then they could still write to Bungie and tell them their Information,
like name, adress, phone number and such, to verify that it's their Xbox Live account.

I really really doubt that a hack-attack could happen, just for the joy of a prize.

Okay, then you have to call the Xbox Support.
I bet they can help you.

I never did it before, because it never accured to me to have the account hacked, but I think they are going to ask you about your account information and then reset the password.

It's just like halo 2. They will keep tweaking and patching until we all ascend into halo heaven. I love it! Thanks Bungie...

griffball is kinda fun, not as fun as team swat. :)

i still wish multi-team was like it used to be.. 3v3v3v3

  • 03.06.2008 7:12 AM PDT

Playing time!

I wish I had the DLC. I have wanted to play griffball for a long time but I can only play it on the Last Resort varient which dosent work very well. This would have been a great time to announce the DLC as free download.

Bungie please keep griffball in matchmaking so when I do get DLC I can play it, or put the Last Resort varient in the hopper.

It's usually played in Foundry, but I hope they change it, dunno what they're going to do.. it wont be grifball if we use big maps.. it's got to be close quarters.

To all the people asking if we will do more cool weekend hoppers or stating that you love a specific gametype I will say this:

Vote with your gameplay. Want more DoubleXP weekends? Take part in them and we'll know right away that we should do more. That is all it takes.

As always, we'll take a good hard look at people's play habits when deciding how to proceed with the next set of updates.

And of course, thanks for all the feedback :)



How do you expect us to vote with our gameplay when you put the games on levels we can't play?

("we" meaning anyone who doesn't have the map pack.)


Posted by: Xxelitekha0sxX
wait...it says DoubleXP weekend on unranked playlists?

i thought u only rank up on ranked...

You do. But you still gain XP on unranked playlists.

What were the map exploits you are talking about???? Thank you.
Fixed map exploit on The Pit
Fixed map exploit on Construct
Fixed map exploit on Epitaph


Now I'm just guessing, so.....

The Pit, there was a place under the ramps near the shotty by the BR where you could get under there and hide.
Construct, you could jump off near yello lift and hide down on one of two ledges.
Epitaph...?? I don't play that map enough to know what this one might have been.

I'm still confused on the mix party thing, but other than that, the changes sound good. Can't wait to play some Grifball later!

I am the Prime Guardian of organized Deception.

I am part of Team oD, a clan who made an appearance in the March '05 issue of OXM, a clan formerly known as FBI who beat the original members of STK in Halo:CE over XBC, a clan now known as Final Boss of MLG...a feat that very few have been talented enough to achieve. We are also a clan who proudly reports cheaters.

Why not just add Grifball and SWAT completely and keep it there? You add the two games that most definitely would get me playing Halo 3 again and you only make it last just for a weekend? If it is only going to be for that long...I might just stay on Call of Duty.

so you love the gametypes, yet when they're gonna be there your gonna play cod...

I'm guessing these playlists are like teasers for the community and for bungie to see how many people would play them if they where put into a real hopper.

Anyways, can't wait to play grifball tonight! (I live in Scotland and it's 4:55 here)

Great but does anyone else find that many of all the ranked big team battle games are glitching so bad that you can't target people and that you die instantly not knowing what killed you do to the glitches when my internet is over 9000 kb and the green is always all the way up I don't get why I see this happening someone explain please as during the game some see it and some don't the opposite team says they don't see it but I have some videos that show it which I'm told aren't in their version of the videos in fact I'm told they see me slower so it is easy to kill me. There are others that see it on my team but some that don't it is soo confusing that it only works on some of us is this a trick as I have read on the internet people use this as a router trick to gain advantage. Please let me know so I know what to avoid.

the lag is sometimes horrible in BTB. yesterday I had a horribly laggy game. the score said 6-5 on my screen thru the whole game, and whenI hit select, it was like 30 to 23. but that wasnt right either, cause we have been playing a while. and I asked a few times my team what the score was, and no answer, they probably couldn't hea me... but I heard them. but I would just randomly die from nothing, at least from my view... and I would hit the opposing players like 6 times and they wouldn't die. somehow I still got 10 kills, and we lost by like 8 points... and I heard one kid on my team say, wtf, it was just like 84-90... so it was not lagging as bad for him I guess. I still like playing BTB though when it isnt too laggy
