Lukems! great Iron Maiden reference!
Ides of March lolz


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ides_of_March

unless there is some other Iron Maiden reference, it's not an Iron Maiden reference

Actually one sec ill put a link


Oh, I'm wrong? I was thinking so.


OIC

Yeah, I knew they had a song named that, but I was just pointing out that the Ides of March have more significance than a song by Iron Maiden.

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

2 Things I can see that people aren't understanding so far.

1. When the maps are FREE they will be required for those certain lists.

2. The Party restriction change in RBTB makes it quicker to find matches, it does not make you more likely to play 6v6 games.

Bungie, i am becoming absolutetly obsessed with you. Keep up the great work on double exp weekends, that was a stroke of genius. You can really even out our match/rank levels! You continue to impress....2 thumbs up

Nice update, I didn't know that about the Plasma Pistol. I never use it very much though, you know, since it's not a very popular weapon in MM.

Great news about the Legendary Map Pack, but can we get some pictures? It's driving me insane!!

Oh, and the Griffball DoubleEXP hopper is pretty cool, except for the fact that as of right now, after playing it for about an hour, I've added roughly 10 or so new people to my "Avoid this player" list.

Seriously, why do all the elitist, team killer or obnoxious players all happen to pop up when playing this playlist?

It's like Satan himself rose up from Hell and said: "Low and Behold, I give you an amazing Hopper, but I also have included a massive amount of immature and annoying players to join you, the likes of which you have never seen!"

Other than that, cool beans.

Can haz new maps plz?

  • 03.07.2008 5:39 PM PDT

Would you dance for it?

Hurray for NO update....

Sorry but I'm dissapointed....

That wasn't a proper card smash (Or whatever the hell you call it, I forget.). X is supposed to offer Y something, Y says "Sure, I'll have it." X smashes it, then it zooms in. Jesus christ. If you're going to use 4chan memes do them right.

Edit: Zoomjap, actually. -blam!- people.

The stuff you said that wasn't in the update was rather interesting to read.

Once again, awesome update.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

that comic, LOL!

What is with the Admiral Ackbar Comic Strip? I have a theory... Look at the reflection in his eye its the marathon symbol. Is this where bungie got the icon from? just a thought.

Yay bungie is forcing people to download the maps.. that wasn't the strategy I was hoping for, but at least people who can get them, but refuse to because of 'principle' will now do it.

Try making the maps cheaper ffs. Whats the bet you guys actually made less money because of the ridiculous cost. You need to change your accountants because they must be utterly retarded.

800 points for 3 maps.. loooool


U do realise...these changes are for after the maps become free. So, if u are still not gonna get the maps after they become free, your life must suck.

Oh and Lukems, I want to hear this from you, please: Now that Grifball and SWAT have gotten into the Weekend Playlists, Are they gonna come out as their own permanent playlists in the Social and Ranked sections respectively?

I guess you guys have completely forgotten that if you're going to do something you should do it right. Sure, it's just a (-blam!-) 4chan reference, but come the -blam!- on. Bungie is starting to ooze mediocrity. That failed card crusher was the equivalent of the following; bungie isn't a pretty cool guy anymore. eh overhypes -blam!- and doesn't deliver on (hardly) anything.

I guess it's some goofy meme that the first time Frank was exposed to was when he was celebrating the death of the Patriots NFL season and saw an Eli v. Tom Brady one, he's done all kinds of research into where it came from and decided to make admiral ackbar talk to mister chief for this section of the weekly update that I had called "It's a Trap" re: the Spawn trap in MLG's ESPN vid.

He's going to be so sad you guys hated it :(

Awww! Be sure to tell him that I think that he is, in fact, a sexy beast and not a horrible monster. Seeing that he never replies to my love letters on myspace.
