Subject: Bungie Weekly Update: 3/14/08

Thank you for starting to distribute Recon a little more freely. Maybe this will cut down on account hacks, make it less desirable. It was also hilarious to read the update and see that all of those guys doing the Grifball leaderboards on the forums expecting Recon their way got pwned by Bungie.

Lone Wolf assassin

The Hornet is the only vehicle from this list that has seen gameplay adjustments, in addition to the cosmetic changes. If you’ve ever used the Hornet in a custom game, its missiles-n-guns variety of dominance is an overpowered spectacle to behold. Fun as that may be for the player in the Hornet, it’s a less than awesome situation for players feeling totally helpless while the sky opens up and your Halo experience is reduced to staring at death cam.

What’s different about this version of the Hornet? Its missiles have been removed and its guns have had their effectiveness reduced. It’s less of an airborne death machine and more of an aerial support vehicle now.

Can it still take down a warthog or a banshee with out blowing up?

It has to be sidewinder. By the way they described the map a while back -

'almost too big'
'symmetrical, but there is a shortcut for people on foot when people have the flag in a vehicle'

Bungie would seriously have to be massive morons for it not to be sidewinder. Everybody has been begging and begging for it, so if they truly listen to the fans, then its sidewinder.

If we don't find a way out of this soon, I'm going to lose it. Lose it. It means go crazy.
Nuts. Insane. Bonzo. No longer in possession of one's faculties. Three fries short of a Happy Meal. WACKO!

OMG like number 352... not really...

I love the paint jobs, but I am going to cry about the Hornet.

No Sidewinder

If Bungie Wants To Make More Money They'd Put Sidewinder,Blood Gulch,Ect. Into A Classic Map Pack

The less than a second latency of online play is a better system to play off of than more health.

You realize this system is just as host based, right? because if you're fighting host, or someone with a better connection to host, and you each start firing at the same time, his BULLETS will register first, giving him slightly more health if the melees happen at the same time.

So would you rather have the BS of both, or just one?

I'm confused, why don't they just make that tweak to the hornet a universal one and start putting it into more maps?

Aside from that the snow paint is certainly something that needs to be seen first hand (with surroundings) as simply placed on the page it looks kinda disappointing.

  • 03.15.2008 6:49 PM PDT

nicely done on adding the mlg playlist....very good move...the MLG ppl, myself included, are ecstatic about it...thanks again

  • 03.15.2008 6:51 PM PDT

why did they mess w/ the hornet! its not even on any maps by default!
