If there is any power to be found, it's within yourself, not your weapon.

The hell...? I'll need the Legendary map pack to play weekend lists and Team SWAT? I already wasted money on the Heroic pack, now I have to potentially waste more money or risk playing a flavourless Halo 3 WITHOUT the variety lists?

That's totally lame Bungie. Totally lame. If this becomes a serious barrier with no hope of re-entry...well, not like there aren't other games out t here.

Terrible update!! I like the 4 months of PRO for buying the new maps. I don't think that SWAT is going to be as popular as you guys think. Most people were excited about it as a double XP weekend game, but then it got annoying and people just played it for the XP rather than for the game play. I am sad to see Team Control go, I loved that game type. I don't know why people didn't play it. Maybe because people don't spend the time or just don't know how to play King of the Hill or Territories. Oh well, it will be greatly missed.

Shishka and Sketch, you two are great update writers!

Great update, can't wait for may team snipers.

Hated by many, confronted by none.

Great update, Ske7ch & Shishka!

I like the part with Team SWAT, all about it. =D
Especially the fact that it'll be requiring the Legendary Map Pack, I can't wait to play SWAT on Blackout! But my funky dreams of Avalanche in SWAT will probably stay just dreams, LoL

  • 04.11.2008 5:00 PM PDT

Amazing update. Everything from the free 4 months to the new maps coming out. Also doing the mlg and team swat into the hardcore action. I think i just found my weekend plans lol. Keep up the great work!!!!

  • 04.11.2008 5:01 PM PDT

Bungie, you sly dog! People love Team Swat, so you make Legendary required, and don't make them free. This will piss people off, for sure, but it will make them buy the maps for Team Swat, so I can have a better chance of playing with the maps in other playlists! I love you guys. And four months of Bungie Pro isn't bad either.



It's pretty blatant marketing going on...the only way to play Team SWAT is to buy the Legendary Map pack - apparently without knowing whether or not the map pack will become free.

I was under the impression that Bungie and Microsoft have separated? Is this only for the new projects, while they still have full control of all things Halo 3?

Yeah, I didn't mind the Heroic map pack being $10.00 nor charging for Legendary, but to market it in this forceful way is somewhat rude/oppressive to the peoples.

What we, the gaming proletariat, need to do is rise up against the gaming bourgeoisie and refuse to play team SWAT, don't be taken in by this type of force marketing.* If this works and they sell many more Legendary than Heroic, where else will their marketing go? Perhaps we should come up with our own means of production???

*btw, I'm not actually all that upset, I just humbly disagree with the methods.*

-A witty signature that can be placed on the bottom of all your forum posts.

As such, Team SWAT will be Legendary required, as will weekend hoppers (save Grifball).
Friggin' sweet. I had a feeling something like this might happen, at least to the weekend hoppers. This should help get the cheap asses to buy the maps.

Love how Team S.W.A.T is now going to be in a rankedd playlist, Can't wait for the new map pack!!!

Team Snipers Doubble exp :D

Hmm... and picture at end was funny. Although I am not delighted by pies...

Thank Bungie! Another reason why people should get the new maps. Bungie pro for 4 months and the maps sounds like it is the best deal for me. Please... and I mean... PLEASE Bungie, keep on suprising us. Sorry about the caps, but it is true.

I was looking forward to more to this update. Maybe something about the new maps. (Although I think we have gotten more than a taste about these maps, but still, everyone wants more of something... right?) But, I already have to wait untill Tuesday for new maps.

My "e" key dosn't work somtims, so I don't car if you notice.

I like Sketch's updates more than I like luke's. Luke's may be funnier, but Sketch's contain happier things like team SWAT as a permanent playlist.
