bungie does read the forums. in case anyone says something explicit.

Programs can scan forums for specific words. Swear words, racist stuff etc. You dont need to read it.

Bungie dont actually read the forums, no big business do. But if anyone here can contact anyone at bungie it might be a good idea to get them to put a post in here


a good idea?
people have probably been emailing bungie constantly since SWAT went down, asking for it back, much like people have been clone-posting in here, and it obviously isn't making the process go any faster/making them want to tell us what's going on.

just because they don't respond to the constant "bring bak swat plzzzzzzzz i luv it" and the "omg wtf iz happenin whered swat go??/?//" posts, doesnt mean theyre not listening

they will tell us as much as we need to know when the time comes
just learn to have some -blam!- patience


Ok you try and contact someone at bungie who has any control or say in playlists, go on try it!
The only E-mail i can find is the webmaster for the site, and its just mean to have a go at them about it.

This sucks. It's Spring Break, SWAT has been down since Sunday, and now I'm housesitting for my aunt who has the lamest router I've ever had to figure out (don't know the router's internal password to change the wep or mtu). Some Spring Break this is. -.-

I think SWAT should be a permanent playlist. Ranked SWAT would own!

You only die once, better make it count.

i agree

I have two suggestions kind of related to SWAT. First of all, I think we should have another weekend to play this since it went down, and second of all, can someone make an article where we get to actually see what it takes to implement a new playlist. Since there have been weekend playlists that go up on a friday and come down on a Sunday, it doesn't seem that hard to make a playlist, but I'm curious as to how difficult it actually is and what method it takes.

Am I dreaming? I know it's late, but I still have my computer on my lap and I feel awake. Anyway, it seems someone has actually said something mature and thought out on the bungie.net forums! I am very thankful and impressed. Glad to see their are still some civilized people on the internet.

Ok i am sick of just the posts of the, "plox bringz backz teh SWAT plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" crap so im going to give my opinion.

day one of the hopper release i saw 250k ppl online in h3, only 50k or so in swat when i first started, 2hrs later still about 250k ppl online and about 150k in swat.

day two: about 225k ppl on, 175k in swat(stayd about the samefrom when i looked in the morn and when i looked 8 hrs later)

day 3 and the day b4 the problem: 300k or so online, 200k in the morn, 375k online and 250k in swat 7hrs later

day4 day of the problem 9pm PDT(about[well this would still b considered day 3, but it was day 4 for me]) 375k online and 300k in swat

anyone else see a reason for taking it down a bit early?

so either it was taken down on purpose to get more ppl in other hoppers, or it was overloaded with 300k+ ppl at once.

but those are just my obsevences and opinions, and all numbers have ben rounded to the nearest 5k so dont flame or bash me.

Good point

So people stop flaming bungie for taking swat down
Blame yourselves for doing all nighters on it


That is possibly the stupidest thing I have ever heard. If Bungie didn't want high traffic why are they online? I'm sorry, but you're an idiot. Maybe they didn't expect as much traffic, but I'm sure they wanted it. I'm sure they would thank all of us for our all nighters. Moron.

i agree with this guy. They make money off of us playing the video game. WHY IN T HE WORLD IS A LOT OF PEOPLE PLAYING IT A PROBLEM?! That guy is so stupid for saying we should blame ourselves for all nighters playing swat. Thanks for pointing that out to him.c

I would personally NOT want it to be ranked. Just keep it relaxed and fun in social..

I love swat and I think it would be awesome if swat was a ranked match!!!!!!!

  • 03.27.2008 1:27 PM PDT

I think that bungie should make it both social and ranked like big team battle that would be amazing =]

Is there a possibility that swat will stay on halo 3? Ranked and social? Just want to know because i have heard from alot of ppl that they would rather play it than with regular shields.

you guy know what? you need to STOP ASKING FOR SWAT TO BE PERMANENT!

its prob a bit like getting recon the ones who ask, "Can me haz reconz plox?" will never get recon .
so unless there is a poll from bungie stop with this make swat stay bull-BLAM-, and maby they will think about it
