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

Posted by: SilverStalker
First of all, I would like to say that I seriously doubt that you have any type of education or training that would qualify you to criticize paid professional game developers. If you worked for a gaming or at least software company as a designer then perhaps your opinion would have some merit to it. To simply "copy/paste," as you say, from game to game would completely ignore the new weapons, new powerups, and new gameplay style in general from game to game. Did you notice how it was odd to "jump" from Halo CE to Halo 2 and Halo 2 to 3? This is because the games are a great deal dissimilar. So to simply take a carbon copy of a map from game to game would absolutely fail.

Not to flame or criticize but I'm sick of hearing people whine about how Bungie ruins everything. Bungie doesn't ruin everything. If Bungie ruined everything they would have gone out of Business long before Halo CE was even released. Bungie doesn't ruin remakes, people are just too damn stubborn to let go of their old reality and accept change. This is true in just about every aspect of life, but it certainly seems prevalent in the Bungie forums when remakes are announced. Boo-hoo, either get over it and accept the new Lockout, stop playing Halo, or get a job at Bungie and “fix” all the problems that you see. Want proof that people have trouble accepting change? Remember how everyone claimed they would continue playing H2 because Halo 3 sucked and Bungie had ruined everything about the game? I don’t know many people that still play Halo 2.

Anyways my point is that you should seriously stop complaining about something that you aren’t going to change. Wahhh the new lockout sucks! Get a life and get over yourself, its just a stupid videogame.
Good for you, I'm with this guy. I've already said my little spew a page or so back, but yeah I agree. Bungie show care and consideration for the games they make, you ignorant little children who need your moms to make you a hotpocket every night. So many other developers don't truly go to the same lengths as these folks do, and aren't nearly as involved with their fans as these guys(and gals) are. Ugh, some of you members really make me sigh. I wonder about the critical thinking skills of the next generation.

Im pretty sure i could have read The Bible faster than all of those posts.

Greatest H3 Match EVER

Wow, my log-ins are much faster, Bungeez is coming out with Turf, Sidewinder, AND Lockoutz. I do believe all the ranters in this site can just stfu and leave my interwebz. I heart Bungie.

Just one question, you guys said you're trying to keep all the stuff on blackout the same including spawns. Does that mean I'll be throwing my controller at the tv in rage at the 60th spawn in back snipe tower while my team has it in control? Does it mean I'll spend hours crying as I get upset yet again because their entire team can spawn constantly next to each other in battle while my team spawns across the map while there's perfectly safe spawn points behind the building i'm dying at?

hahaha jk B. Great job in all the remaking of the Legendary (truly Legendary maps making a Legendary return to a Legendarily difficult map to win at MLG) map set. Just do me a favor and make less cheese(y) jokes. :3

Oh fantastic this map pack looks set to be much better than the last one. I Like the whole one map from each game deal one from Halo CE, one from Halo 2 and one new Halo 3 origional sounds like a good system for future packs keep people happy and explore new areas. If it helps bring back containment I love that place.

BUNGIE!! Wait! You forgot something! There's no interesting new "style" of fusion cores! Not the same old things as every other map? WEAK!

I think if they brought back the old maps exactly the same, except with different skins, that would be awesome.An Industrial Lockout would be interesting, or a temple-like midship would look pretty cool.


What did I tell you! Industrial Lockout FTW!. The new DLC looks great Bungie, congrats on making loads of halo fans, like myself, happy.

What's worse than a loser? A loser who won't admit that he lost. I'm a gamer but know it's just a game and I don't measure my life based on on my rank. I'm a field manager for animal rescue and I've seen the dark side of human nature, so save your petty insults for the school yard. On the plus side, I've also seen true care that all people should be capable of.
Acadius is my PSN tag.


In the end we face the same fate no matter what kind of life we have lived. Death does not judge.

Makes me crave a grape soda or want the old Mt. Dew Pitch Black. Mmmmmm tasty goodness. Awesome job on the maps btw.
