What do you mean there is no way to force everyone to download the maps. Didnt you do that for Halo 2? Its not like the maps are that large anyway, they are only about 500 megs

Register at your local Vault Tec office today! The world might not be there tomorrow...

Luke, check the PM, try it out. Also, loved the Admiral Akbar(sp?) reference! IT'S A TRAP!!!

Hey thanks for the weekend double EXP, and more importantly thanks for grifball--it is fantastic. I am really looking forward to SWAT, infection weekends, ranked games on heroic maps, and of course release of legendary maps too. I appreciate it bungie

It's a mill for grinding plasma corn for tortillas so that MC can have his morning breakfast Grunt burritos.
MMMmmmm..... Grunt burritos.....*drool*

Thank you for the listening to the fans guys. I am superbly happy with the introduction of SWAT on my Birthday (if only for 3 days to start). But I am really happy that you are going back to some zombie games. If you are looking for some zombie maps, there is no better place than on Zombie Group here at Bnet. We have a dedicated sticky just for the posts of user created zombie maps. I would be extremely happy if one of my guys got their map on Bungie Favs or even in the playlist. Thanks again.

Another way to extinguish the plasma pistol's overcharge without shooting is to hit Y and switch weapons. It's a simple way to keep from running down the charge on the PP when you're trying to get a bead on that dratted Banshee or Warthog circling your base on Valhalla.

Granted, if you're dual-wielding, that's going to make you drop your weapon. But with the classic noob combo of BR/PP, you can just cycle back and forth.

Wow Bungie, I gotta tell you that I love Grifball! I had never played it before, but it is my new favorite thing.

Please make this a permanent ranked playlist! I will send you $20 over Paypal if you do. This isn't a bluff, just email me. I want to play this forever!

Love,

BigDaddyBooth

As far as not saying what the next project is, didn't this month's EGM say that Bungie is now working on Lego Halo (like Lego Star Wars). So why would they not want to say yet?

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.


Dude,rules 1 & 2.


Lurk moar, rules 1 and two apply to raids only, in which case you would say, "lol, were from ebaumbs"

  • 03.09.2008 1:19 AM PDT

You splattered a dumb cat

Kind of weak update though...

Oh, and the Grifball map has already been broken. People are able to get out of the map and camp with the bomb outside the designated arena.

Bungie, if you plan to keep Grifball in matchmaking, you MUST fix this.

M friend said this happened to him where the other team won 1-0 because they scored first and then got the ball and hid with it for the rest of the rounds. It happened to me too and we lost because of it.

hey if you are interested my friend had this map called the TRAIN..... now i dont know if anyone has made it online and they just copied it but its really fun we play it all the time.... If you wanted to see this good map ill put it up on my file share soon.... there is a problem with spawning..... they spawn in the same spot so that needs to b fixed but it also has a game variant called STAY.... So basically on this map floating barels are in the sky and all the humans spawn inside ... there are two zombies to start and they basically jump amazingly high and grav hammer the barrels and try to knock ppl out.

  • 03.09.2008 7:13 AM PDT

I just thought i would bring something up about the plasma pistol "tip" in the update...
Instead of just releasing the trigger slowly you can also just change weapons and no plasma bullet will be fired...It probably takes less time too...

i always thought halo was designed NOT to be able to force the other team to spawn in certain locations. However, through the wonder of HYPE MLG Halo 3 Top 10, I think many people are going to try to make spawnkill their strategy. While this is a way to win the game, i do not feel it merits any accolade, nor does it desplay any kind of realy "skill." It's not hard to kill someone right when they spawn, as I'm sure we all know from playing on Burial Mounds in halo 2. The problem I have with this is that we are celebrating probably the cheapest way to win a game of halo. i understand that the spawns went back to nomal, but still, shuold we really celebrate spawn killing? Wow dude, you killed those guys before they got a shot off!! lame. the worst part is these guys that spawn kill go in the post game lobby and tell you how terrible you are, how great they are, and usually include the mom slam or something.

So yeah, everyone usually says i'm just complaining whn i talk about this, but does anyone else feel me? I mean, spawn killing is lame,it doesn't manke you good, it just shows that you want to win, no matter what the cost. And to me, winning cheapl doesn't even feel like winning.
