cool. team swat is great: HOWEVER there are several problems. for starters, elites have a huge advantage as of everyone knows getting headshots on elites is at least 2x's harder than gettting headshots on spartans. and for some reason, spawn killing is now a problem. these problems need to be adressed before the game becomes ranked.

i cannot WAIT for the moonlight sonata update on tuesday, but if its just another big map that im not gonna play on then im gonna be pissed. 1 big map is ok. 2.........meh. what about an ivory tower remake? that was a great map for swat and snipers. oh wait we dont have either of those since the swat playlist crashed this morning. *sigh* bungie i love you but sometimes i dont know why you dont give people what they want .(i.e. snipers swat and lockout)

Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.

no.. what cod 4 players like about cod4 matchmaking is that you can choose your guns before the game starts therefore preventing your ass getting handed to you by a rocket noob

So is Avalanche on Halo? Because in the comparison picture the Halo is gone...

So is Avalanche on Halo? Because in the comparison picture the Halo is gone...

"Q: What’s the fictional setting for Avalanche?

NS: Snow… duh.

LB: (Spoilarz) Hopefully I’m not ruining it for anyone that hasn’t finished Halo 3 yet, but I believe it’s on the new “under-construction” Installation 04, yes?

JS: I think we all had this idea of it being some sort of power plant type of structure where the power was being drawn from within the ice. This idea was started from Harold Lamb who made the man cannons that poke out from the cliffs and the snow covered ground. He mentioned it one day and it just kinda stuck. That’s mainly why I made the middle section look like some kind of carving/power storage machine thingy ma bob.

MB: Avalanche is a large forerunner power station set on the front of a huge glacial shelf on an under construction Halo installation. The structure is pulling its power out of the densely compacted ice that constantly builds up behind the station before it falls into the ocean below."

I know I read that update , but its the same place as Sidewinder Correct? Then why is the Halo not visible on that location? Even if it is under construction you would see some remnant I think. Just Wondering.
Love the map.

I really liked the espn top ten. I tried to search the forums for the various videos, but too no avail. Would some please drop me a private message that would guide me to their owners file shares. I would really like to see the one shot, no-scope, overkill at number 3 and the mongoose no-scope videos, from the source.

I really love the extra effort you guys at Bungie do for the fans at your site. But with the extra content comes extra responsibility. So in future weekly updates, please include links to source material, for the computer illiterate.

Thanks, your loyal fan for seven years and counting, Vanilla Gorilla!!!

Well, this is good and all, but what about people who got the heroic map packs when they cost money? Can you make the legendary pack free for them, cause it seems kinda like im being ripped off... a bit. Right?

They said like a millon times they were going to be free around the time the new maps come out just like they've done all the other times with their maps. How do you not know this? Read the weekly updates once in awhile so you know what's going on.

Well, sorry. I hadnt read one in a long time. Sorry. I didnt get the old old map packs (as in other halos), so I didnt know.

  • 03.23.2008 4:32 PM PDT

Dont make me take off my belt!
It was my idea for the "New Teabag" of punching someone in the head with the armor lock.

i bought a 1600 micro-point card last night just so i have enough points to buy the new maps

This reply isn't just for you but for all the other players thinking they got ripped off. I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything either but if you guys were so into Halo that you would buy the maps and even participate in the forums, I would think you would at least read the weekly updates enough to know the older maps were going to be free.

Sorry bungie for all these poor lazy kids complaining and wanting a refund....



Sorry Bungie for these ass kissers who think brown nosing will get them Recon.


Here's how it is: Paying for these extra maps is ridiculous, but it's not Bungie's problem.

Long story short: complaining does nothing and is annoying, but complaining about the complaing is just as annoying. Complaining about the complaining about the complaining- now there's an idea. Rayless ftw.

I don't know why, but that video promoting free Heroic Map pack was awesome!

  • 03.23.2008 8:54 PM PDT

Nice Podcast, this week. I especially enjoyed listening to Butchy's insight on Bungie "The Underdog™" Studios. To me, he was definitely one of the better guests on the show. I'm hopin' to hear from him (as well as Dave Dunn) again.

That promotion for the Heroic Map Pack wasn't half bad, either. ;)

I agree it needs work, but I love swat. I played Halo more often when the playlist was up. I think it needs to become a permanent playlist and fast!
