Dude they need to remake Gridlock! Who the crap is Sidewinder?

  • 03.14.2008 10:10 PM PDT

Omg... Sidewinder remake... please!

I still curse Bungie for not releasing their snow-Warthog-with-treads-instead-of-tires-and-lambo -style-gull-doors concept shown before Halo 2 came out.

Hornet nerf? Lamezorz

MLG Playlist? Epic lamefail

New maps? Score!

Frosty vehicles? Delicious...

A good portion of the community is calling out for a team snipers playlist, one of the more popular playlists from Halo 2, are there any plans for its inclusion going forward in the secret underground playlist concocting labs?

I will delete every post on this thread that simply states which # of poster they are or which page they are on. Read it first or else!

These vehicles are awesome, they truly are... "A few of my favorite things...."

p.s. FIRST PAGE


This board gets more like YTMND every day, doesn't it?

Anyway, those seem like cool updates to the hoppers. I am hoping MLG doesn't end up being the only way to be good at Halo 3 in the future, but that's the only worry I have.

Provehito in Altum

It. Has. Returned.

Thats all that needs to be said, and I thank you Bungie...

"Seems to me you should spend less time on that article and more time working on that novel you've been working on!!!"

Alright cool! I'm glad to see the hornets comin to mp, idc if it's not as powerful, that's a good thing. It can fly, hover, shoot stuff, and potentially has two people with lasers riding on it or something crazy like that. Tuesday. This is gonna be one of those times where waiting takes forever. Like staring at a LED clock and waiting for a minute to go by. The suspense and anticipation is killing me!...

Seriously? No NEW vehicles? Just OLD vehicles? Not even a TRANSPORT HOG? I just lost about 83.5 % of my faith in Bungie.


Transport Hog is meant for Marines.

The Flood Revolution is coming...

Can't wait for that playlist to hit Matchmaking. Hopefully they can get Stockpile straight.

ah sweet i just realized that with new maps probably comes a whole new list of forge objects for said maps. so perhaps we're gonna get a bunch of snowy objects and vehicles we can put in. themed objects would be sick.

dude, wtf?! they nerfed the hornet?! i didnt even get a chance to use it proper in the matchmaking.

what is a hornet without the rockets? a lamer version of a banshee, with more vunerabilities due to it's hover, thats what.

Does anyone remember what it was like to drive/capture a scorpion/wraith in H2? It was a formidable enemy even for rocket-weilders. Yet the hornet, now nerfed, will be nothing more than a harder-to-shoot machine gun turret. No rockets? What?! its a counter to the banshee, like rock-paper-scissors.

Rockets/missile-pod/bruteshot (close range)/sticky greande beats hornet; hornet (with good pilot) beats almost any vehicle except scorpion... etc, etc.

if the missile pod or other vehicles' counter-weapons spawn times were decreased slightly, there would be no need to nerf the. plane

I just noticed that bungie has just had their worst update of all time. They are putting MLG playlists into the system and all it's going to do is encourage more of those annoying 13 year old MLG wanabees to act just as stupid and childish as the majority of the MLG trash talkers out there.

Hey, what happened to SWAT? wasn't that happening this weekend? Or was Bungie just announcing it for the near future? Or did I really get completely hammered for an entire week? ANSWERS, PLEASE!

  • 03.14.2008 11:08 PM PDT

I am Slayer750 on Xbox Live!!!

Has anyone thought it might be a snowy/deserty version of coagulation/blood gulch? It probably won't be but I'm just throwing the idea out here. It would be awesome, coagulation was my favorite map in Halo 2.

Thank you Bungie for the MLG playlist there will now actually be a playlist worth playing that has some skill involved. No more 10 different power weapons on the map,no more assualt rifle for people who cant aim, no more playing with people who don't have a clue on how to play, and espiacally no more waiting 20 minutes to get into a custom game.

Seriously am i the only one who found the new map? When they were talking about the gametypes avalible in the MLG playlist they mentioned a map called onslaught. Correct me if im wrong but I don't there is a map called onslaught avalible to us right now.

LOL Onslaught is not the map. MLG players have been playing onslaught for atleast a month now. It is a forge of foundry which means they took foundry and made it into a fair and competitive map it is in no way a new map.

Thanks for that hornet adjustment not too many people seem to like it. I loved the way that people could be flying around with you but I hated the dominance of it, but I was wondering if these adjustments will be made on the other maps(including the old ones), or if the new type of hornet will have a specific name (kinda like a warthog and a gauss warthog) because it would be cool to have a the older kind of hornet and the newer one, but the older one would have the machine gun changes, and it would have to cool down on missles if it shot too many.

Group RPG's!

DO NOT DO IT! DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING IT! DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT NOT DOING IT!

Its either Sidewinder, Ice Fields, Containment, or even maybe a snow covered Death Island.

I don't mind the nerf on the Hornet. Why have two rocket launchers when you have to comrads with Fuel Rods or Needlers.
