Subject: Struckout again?

How do I get a restraining order on these "Bungie" people? They keep trying to give me some "recon" thing.

You made a remake of Lockout again? Elongation was much worse than Guardian, and it's in Halo 2. A proper remake of Longest would have been infinitely better than this remake of Lockout. (Of course, a remake of Infinity would have been even better.) Overall though, looks good and keep up the great work (but please try to focus on maps you haven't already remade).

What will the next map pack be? The Normal Map Pack or the Mythic Map Pack?

When they mentioned the regen on Tuesday I was thinking a great spawn for it would be the top of the lift-thing. You know, the big flat part. That would be awesome.

I loved the comparison shots. I hope we can see more of those if you guys remake more maps. [Nudge, nudge]

Anyways, no offense Luke, but when is Frankie going to write an update again. I miss his witty humor.

You're going to sit there and read this when you could be playing Team SWAT? Really?

Jason Jones of Bungie famously said of Halo 2 that: "it's Halo 1 on fire going 120 miles per hour through a hospital zone chased by helicopters and ninjas. And the ninjas are all on fire too." As a sequel, Halo 2 couldn't quite live up to that extravagant claim.

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

That's why I love Bungie

Not only did they bring SWAT back WITH double XP, but they're bringing back a new and improved Lockout

On top of that they are asking US, the community, to help them search for the perfect forgeries, screen shots and clips... wonderful!!!

I don't like the wall on the back of snipe 2, and it looks like it will be possible/easy to get to a snipe 4 now.

I'm sure it'll feel normal though, plus I applaud Bungie for listening to the people.

Bungie..In case your reading... With the massive amount of people requesting team snipers for a double exp weekend it will be inevitable. However, here are some ideas to make it unique.
Add these to the team snipers playlist
1. Team Snasers- team snipers with secondary weapon as a laser. Try it out really fun and balanced.
2. Lurkers-You know this one
3. Regular shotty snipers
4.Team snipers-first to 25
5. Tactical Snipers-Team Tactical Snipers
6. Swat Snipers-ok maybe i went too far here....
7. Snipe Ball-Grifball with snipers
8. VIP Snipers
9. Small boxed in map for No Scopes
10. Beach Escape- Round based gametype. Two rounds per team. One team has to keep the other team from reaching the hill with snipers. Sort of like Border patrol.
I realize must of these are dumb or wont work but hey how about some diversity and fun. Seriously.

I'm really looking up for this new forge stuff i wonder if we can edit the terrain, color, atmosphere and do some serious forging not just playing with boxes and Legos but actual editing tools. but Overall i wish they would allow us to really add on buildings and change the floor around a little bit, Who knows, maybe they might add real objects such as trees plants caves cliffs and so on.

Along with the Legendary Map Pack, the MLG matchmaking playlist and SWAT double xp weekends, I would like to know how the Bungie Team and Microsoft plan on dealing with an increase in player population? There's typically tons of lag and latency on an average day, but now it's going to get worse with the new additions. How do you guys plan on dealing with this because it's really annoying when I die without ever seeing anyone near me (no, I'm not talking about snipers or camo players). What's on the horizon in terms of updated servers and increase bandwidth? Hopefully, there are plans in the works here because I can see the increase in popularity of matchmaking translating into a nightmare of a playing experience with 500,000+ players on constantly.

I would totally be racking up DBL exp in SWAT if the RROD hadn't struck my 360 for the SECOND TIME. Sorry y'all, but I had to gripe somewhere.

Incidentally, if you ever have this happen to you, make sure to ask the MS tech for expedited shipping, or they won't give it to you. If you ask, you can send it in FedEx.

Me and my friends we're playing Halo 3 at my house and when I looked and saw double XP SWAT I started screaming "OMG SWAT's back, SWAT's back!"
