For those who dont know what phantom pistols is, I remade it for you all. Here it is... http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=19076920
The game works like this, everyone is invisible and can only carry pistols.
The goal is to reach at least 15 kills and can be very competitive. Theres your doubleXPweekend!

We're building a better world...all of them, better worlds.

So, you guys are going to pool Bungie Favorites from other communities outside your own? Maybe I should read that again, but it seems you're kinda hanging us kids who like to hang around here out to dry. I know there is a lot of stuff out there, so hire a few people whose sole job is to look for cool stuff. Hell, I'd do it. I'll even telecommute.

Edit: Where's the regenerator on Blackout? I think you guys said last week that there would be a regen, bubble shield, and power drain.

I don't get this community.

You idiots haven't even played the damn map and you have started complaining. When you complain, do you ever think how Bungie feels in this?

A lot of people asked for Sidewinder. Bungie gave us a slightly altered version to suit Halo 3's style. People complained = COMMUNITY FAILURE.

Millions more asked for Lockout. You got something 99.9% the same. You still complain about 0.1%.= Ungrateful Community.

Bungie does what you want them to do. They put their heart and soul into it and when they release info, you guys flame them. If this is the case, then Bungie should seriously stop making new maps if people are just gonna complain about everything and anything that Bungie does. They do what majority of the fans want. If thats not enough, I rather Bungie stop making maps than get -blam!- up by the community here.

You guys are so damn grateful!! Good job./sacarsm

Anyway Bungie, good job guys. Really look forward to this. Ignore the idiotic minority. You knew what fans wanted and you answered. Its just good to know that Purple Reign and Space Camp are both completely new maps that you have said will appeal to certain people who like certain maps. I WILL buy this map pack and possibly every other map pack not to make Microsoft happy but to show my gratitude to this company and your dedicated team.

Instead of putting us incharge of the spreading the word of the new maps... you should just have an indicator that pops up the next time you log on Halo 3 that says that new maps are available free.

first off, nice update. even though it wasn't very meaty. i liked the "scroll over and see old lockout vs. new blackout." that was pretty nifty.


somebody was asking how they can get recon... i tried sticking a bird on guardian, i think thats worthy of recon. i tried for a few hours and never got it. maybe you can do it .



cant wait for the new MLG playlist today :)

i think bungie realizes that they're always gonna get flamed for a few things but more people are going to appreciate their hard work and efforts. bungie has been working rediculously hard to make Halo3 live up to all the hype beforehand. i saw a huge Halo3 banner on the top of my local 7-11 before it came out and they had TV commercials and spartan slurpees. they are seriously delivering and exceeding expectations. Halo players said they wanted new maps..... Bungie gave us new maps. we said we wanted new playlists and gametypes.. they gave us MLG tournaments, rocket race, and DLC's own playlist including the choice for slayer or objective. they always give us little weekend fun stuff to play (for double Exp!!) and the server is always reliable. we said we wanted lockout brought back and now we got Blackout AND Avalanche PLUS a brand new map.

im extremely happy with bungie's efforts and i will always be very proud to be a part of a company that actually listens to their users and makes changes that we want. they keep the majority of us happy and rarely mess up. and if they do mess up they always make it up. there will always be people that overlook all the good that this company has brought us and focus only on the bad. i will gladly purchase gamerpoints for the new maps with a huge smile on my face.



Stop, and just think about our dad's playing atari back in their days, and then think about how glad you are to have Bungie :)

You play to win the game!

Thank you.

The MLG playist is awesome.

"I don't even dare call those things magnums."

You have a huge point. Most of the community members act around the age of 10-14 and in that age frame they love to complain about the stuff they get even though they don't deserve it. If it's new and they have pictures up, then all you can complain about is the setting and atmosphere of the map. Then when they get the weapon placement photos up, you can give ideas (not criticism) to what weapons can be placed there. Don't sound like an idiot and say: "Why is there a shotgun when you have a sword?". Sure earlier I said something about the pistols not being magnums. I just don't use that weapon.... sometimes. Anyways you can't complain about a map that hasn't been released yet. Give up.

Also to those of you that keep saying "Why did you need to fix some stuff? Why can't you keep it the way it was?" Well it's not Halo 2, it's Halo 3. Get over yourself. They need to fix some stuff because Halo 3 is new. They can't just import a map and be like: "Yay, were done." They need to redo either all of it, or almost everything. Just start giving ideas and stop complaining.

Also now that I think of it, they still have plenty of time to pick and choose what weapons/equipment will be in there, and can change it at any time after they release the maps(like the morning I woke up and found that the maulers on Guardian were gone). Let Bungie do their thing and you guys just begin wrapping duck tape around your hands, and around that whining mouth of yours.

And once again Bungie, don't listen to the complaints, just listen to the good jobs your getting. I always loved Lockout and I know that you won't disappoint us. I also like getting new maps, not many games do that for their players. Thanks Bungie.

I have a comment to make about a few weapon placments. I can understand why they switched the Needler from Lockout with a Spiker for Blackout, but why did they not put the SMG by the lift? Also, the grenades are missing from the lower bridge enterance to the lift room. I doubt Bungie forgot about them, but I just want to know why they weren't added?

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

[Insert clever caption here]

i totally agree with you Sanjeev. there are alot of people that like to find things to complain about, instead of just enjoying what the people of Bungie have created for us. i think Franky said it best:
"If you take opinion, you tend to get negative opinion from the vocal minority." - Frank O'Connor

and it's the absolute truth. great update by the way, i cant wait to see what gametypes will spawn from the rest of the community.

Then you can go away because Swat ROCKS!!!

  • 03.31.2008 2:40 PM PDT

4 Levels? Im confuzzled...
probably just standard forge items (guns, nades, crates). nothing special.
Midship blows, no wants remake!
Team SWAT is fun, wish it was ranked

Bungie is for sure not going to give you Recon if you ask for it. They award it to people who are nice, do something awesome, and sometimes on the weekends.

i was out of town last week so i never played SWAT, i tried it yesterday though for the first time. I got 1 kill, then i got killed, then i got spwn killd, then i went on a killing frenzy +4. And i don't know why, but im looking forward to Ghost Town the most.

probably because it is an original map

omg blackout is going to be the best map ever i cant wait when i first got halo 3 an saw guardian i was ticked on how nothing played the same but i got used to it but in any better case i saw this map an omfg its gonna be a blast i have a feeling that the power drain and bubble r gonna play a big part in taking the map and controlling areas same for the spikers ....since the smg isnt there lmao
