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

Cuz the regular hornet would own too much and it would be unfair,its actually smart cuz it makes the hornet more transport based than power based

Plus most ppl who rode on the hornet never really did anything except for watching other ppl getting murdered on the ground even though its quite fun to watch

*screams* This is everything I ever wanted. Vehicle PAINT JOBS, changed functionality that lets the hornet in MM, a more popular hardcore (I can't believe it didn't get played that much at all), and helmets and goodwill from Bungie.

Here's to another decade of ruling the industry. *hic

Happy gaming.

ANY1ZZZZ got recon? lol. jk. i think its stuped that every1 is being so annoying ot bungie asking all the time for recon. just shut up, and let them decide. bungie has created a game that has made my life worthwhile and they should be respected for the hours of work and pointlessly gathering strangly addictive chinese food for these the past while. leave them alone. sure if u play with them say hi, but try not to constantly be like ZOMG! BUNGIE!! its probably anoying, to constantly ever game u play with the normal other halo 3 players, u hear i am honoured to be in ur presence, EVEN IF U ARE, I SURE WOULD BE. im going to try to work for them when im older and i have a friend who says he knows some1 at Bungie. He said his name is Chris and is a Graphic designer who has a bro there to. is that TRUE BUNGIE? or is he just lying? anyways the point is u will get recon if u deserve it, you will understand riddles if u research it and study it. u will understand that patience is worth it if we are being delivered a new map pack, or even an update. they work hard. respect them. i am so happy even when they update the weekly update page. i check every day, and i may not post much in the forums, but i fell i need to now. sorry if this has nothing to do with wat ur saying now, i dont feel like reading 17 pages of nonsense (mostly exept for bungie posts). i no som1 who has a couple friends with recon, and they get so much spam its not funny. if ur friend or u have recon, dont tell others, or spam them, or ask HOW?, just let them be. and if u have it, or if i did, i wouldnt brag too much or at all. (excepts da BUNGIE) cause its cool to show off a bit, but dont make fun of others cause they dont have, and dont do stupid things to get it revoked. THANK U BUNGIE FOR INSANE MAP PACK # 2 coming out. (the first was super pro and im sure so will this one, cool paint job). CANT WAIT.

I can understand removing the missiles from the hornet, but reducing the lethality of the guns as well? Now the Hornet has become a slow giant flying coffin, with up to 3 occupants! The funny thing is, I'll probably still fly the thing religiously.

So changing the Hornet doesn't affect campaign does it?

Femme fatale; oh snap. | Halo vet since 2003.

That is just about the STUPIDEST update you've managed, Bungie, wrecking the Hornet. HEY, while you're messing up vehicles, make it so you can't shoot when you back up a Ghost! That makes about as MUCH sense as taking off the missiles and reducing the fire's effectiveness in a multiplayer game!

Well, if you LOVE the hornet so much, you should be happy with what they've done with it. Now they are going to let you use it in Match Making on this map! Any custom games you play will still have the fully functional hornet, I'm sure. The only reason they never had it in MM before has been corrected so that it can be played on this map. Go drive the Scorpion if you want overwhelming power.

I have a couple ?'s. Why would you get rid of ranks? I mean... some people are fifty and maybe 1 in another playlist. ALL that work for NOTHING?! And also, why is it REPLACING hardcore... Well, thats just my opinion.

All the chilly details on the new vehicles lead me to believe one thing....can you say Sidewinder remake?

Seriously guys... can't we think a little outside the box here?

  • 03.15.2008 10:09 PM PDT

I feel fantastic and I'm, still alive.
While you're dying I'll be, still alive.
And when you're dead I'll be, still alive.
Still Alive.
Still Alive.

The custom paint jobs are pretty awesome. I'm kind of wishing all the Scorpion tanks looked like that.

And thank god the hornet finally gets it's Hitler mustache taken away. I've played many frustrating customs games of less than spectacular "Run away and hide from the guy in the hornet".

Great update.

  • 03.15.2008 11:55 PM PDT

I know I have an issue with my temper and may say and do things in a match that are embarrassing and regretful. I try my best to control it but things tend to get on my nerves...like Armor Lock for example. :P
So if I do do or say something bad, then I'm sorry I didn't really mean it and you should just get over it.
Thank you.

Well, about the hornet, If it's to powerful for matchmaking...couldn't people just grab a spartan lazer, Rocket launcher or missile pod to shoot it down?

Well...whatever. I'll be looking forward to the new maps.

MLG Playlist has got to be the single best post-release Halo addition in Bungie's history. It's a great moment because it answers the needs one of the neglected sections of the Halo community. Halo is great b/c it appeals to all kinds of gamers: Casual, Hardcore, Thrill-seeking, novelty-seeking, Competitive, Chillaxed....

All kinds of people love Halo for very different reasons, and now one more community has an official "home" on the Bungie playlist!!

Thanks Bungie for always paying attention to your fans, this is the single biggest reason why you are so incredibly successful!

Proof

  • 03.16.2008 12:06 AM PDT

man its gotta be a revamp of sidewinder, cuz that map needs a reintroduction after sitting out in halo 2 when blood gulch got a revamp. so man i hope the snowy vehicles hint at sidewinder getting a halo 3 make-over and returning to our universe

I was bored, so in honor of the new vehicles I whipped up a simple wallpaper for anybody who is as obsessed as me :)

They are listed below, in varying sizes. They were done quickly and on a laptop, since I'm traveling at the moment, so they're kinda rough; don't be too hard on me if they're not perfect. Hopefully this won't incur the wrath of some Bungie employees :) If its any consolation I was (re)listening to the last podcast while doing it :) If I get a wild hair when i get home I'll clean them up some more and repost'em.

18th page, woot!

Great stuff bungie. I'm really impressed about the joint venture with MLG, it's really cool that you guys have put in a truly uncompromising competitive playlist while maintaining loads of other good stuff for the average player. I knew everyone could be catered for, it's spot on to say there are many different ways to play halo and you guys have show you are more than up to that challenge.

If anything I'm even more impressed about the new vehicle stuff. Assuming the paint jobs are real and not some kind of joke hint, it doesn't take a lot to assume cottonball will be a snow map, possibly the remake so many were expecting. I'm amazed that you could actually rebalance the hornet for inclusion in matchmaking. I'm looking forward to playing with the results.

Great stuff bungie.
