Moderatly Good Update I guess. Couple of things I didn't know like the spawning and the plasma pistol "oops i take back that shot" technique. But I'm going to politly ask this question every update untill someone from Bungie notices:

I passed the "Graduate" achievement without recieving it. Can someone do something about it?

thanks.

Each week (beginning late next week and continuing through March) here on Bungie.net we’ll have new information, images and details from the rest of the Legendary Map pack.


Im very excited!

ok, my name is acient destiny(gt) i had some badass ideas for some updates for halo 3, i got 2 of them. first off, make banshee passengers seats, dont add anything to them, just have the passengers hold on to the wings! and my last idea is armor perms. you know how there is elite, and spartan armor perms? how about brute and flood perms too, uhh? flood perms can be like marine, elite, brute, you know, and the brute can have the chieftian head dress, and all that -blam!-ing. and isnt that the greatest goddamn update there would ever be? oh yah, can i haz recon? i have one last idea, and that is in the legendary map pack, how about putting a map were you can make tunnels in the ground and all that crap too, huh?
now for my last request:

Thanks for sharing the technical stuff. Being a CS major, I find those things very interesting. I never knew about that spawn-point points thing before. I'll have to mess around with that with my friends... like we did when you divulged some information about exact weapon damage. We went through and figured out multipliers for headshots (and apparently shield multipliers for plasma weapons). Turned out to be x1.6 approximately for headshots with projectile weapons (carbine included) and a whopping x10 damage with plasma weapons if the target has a shield. Were gonna have to mess with this spawn points system now. =]

And was a "mister arbiter" in those pictures? Nice.

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

Posted by: Grccn
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.


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 :(


lm not a big fan of 4chan memes myself l think we should stick to the Bungie memes (or inside jokes)

Sparklerz... those are the dumbest ideas I've ever seen. Bungie already addressed the armor perms; that would be almost impossible to do without sending everybody a new halo 3 disk. And why would you need passenger seats on a banshee? Thats ridiculous. As for the tunnels... The ground doesn't exist... Its a microscopically thin layer of image. You cant really dig through it... And if they were to make it thick, the map would take exponentially longer to load and lag like BLAM!

Oh yeah... and congratuBLAMINGlations... you just got on the "will never get recon list". lol.

and those were my "BLAMS!" not bungie's... I just like BLAMMING! =]

yeah.
i got a good infection map, but i don't wanna post it on me fileshare.
when will u guys check it? ive asked about a vid and u have yet to respond. i hope im not annoying you guys. i'll stop very soon. just wanna know if it is anything serious.

  • 03.07.2008 8:42 PM PDT
