Oh SWAT how I love thee!! Oh Recon how I loath thee!! There is no love for me...bittersweet love hate!!

Nice update I'm looking foreward to the Peter Jackson efforts myself. Don't let MS screw up Halo guys... Could any one slip me a PM about what Engine it "might" be on? Guess that's like asking for Recon... hmpft.. well I'll just wait and see.

To 15...? Just wondering why it's not to 16. It's strange that the max is an odd number.

Hey, I don't know how to message the bungie people, but I just wanted to get out the word of a video that I took of myself, Sup3rman360, the other day when I was playing. It's on my file share, and if you watch it closely enough, I splattered the whole opposing team, and I even splattered one of their guys with one of his teammates dead body. It is pretty funny to watch, so check it out. Thanks

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.

15? do you mean 16?

This is great, I'm excited to see what comes out of the Peter Jackson situation. Ranked Team SWAT is going to be awesome. I'm glad the Bungie is keeping Recon from the public. If the armor was made public, it wouldn't be so great to have. Keep it locked up Bungie.

I hope that everyone wins the sweepstakes!

I hope this doesn't get me on the Recon "blacklist", but I was wondering, for a film clip, screen shot, map variant, etc. to be considered for Recon does it have to be in my file share?

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

Yay! An update! Been waiting all week! Man I wish I knew what the new games focused on, but perhaps some light will be shed at E3. You guys really must be looking for people to hire, you've said it in almost every update and nonupdate. I wish I could but I gotsto get my APCG major first, still gonna be some years, otherwise I'd be down there quick. Gotta get my degree first. Just registered in that tournie. We'll see if I get picked for a plethora of prizes, or a downpour of disappointment lol. Either way, new map fun.

Also, if you guys see this, I would just like to see a new weekend playlist involing something the community has made. Grifball is awesome, but I want another classic-in-training. Test someones gametype out, see what you think, then post it as a weekend thing, with the creators gt being anonymous, that way, if it was a total bust, the person isn't ridiculed and mocked for the rest of their life, but if it becomes a smash hit, then you can show their gt and bring it up on weekends again. Just an idea of how to increase the number of forgers. Its nice to see you guys picking peoples stuff for the favorites, but it would be even cooler to have your map or whatever placed in a weekend playlist!

*sigh*
just move on and deal with it. its not a big stupid deal. oh and by the way you just asked for recon. you said "can you guys just give it to everyone" and so on and so on. we are all tired of "can i haz recon" crap. but you dont see us make posts like that do you?

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

Great update. Im looking forward to that new PJ Halo protect and whatever Bungie is making next is guarnteed to be good. However you should make Swat ranked AND unranked. Because my Dad who I am trying to get started on Halo 3 really likes Swat. But if Swat is only ranked i can't play with him. Oh and nice picture I can't tell what it is, but it's random and insane so good work Bungie.

If you were paying attention, he was referring to the Skill Level Range, not the max party size.

PFC Carrington Martin here. Yes, the same guy who did an interview with Bungie about soldeirs playing Halo in Iraq. Remember kids, Bungie will put you into thier sling-shot and shoot you into the sun if you stop whinning about how bad Halo and Bungie is. Check me out at www.facebook.com/carrington.martin

Hey Bungie Community, I have just recently joined the US Army as a Human Intelligence Collector, and I'm leaving in August. And I just read the Weekly Update, and I read the article about the Recon: How To Get It... and they said that enable to get the Recon Armor, you must serve the Community and other random acts of service. So isn't joining the Army not just serving the Community, but the Country? So Bungie Community, I have a question to you, do you think I deserve Recon? Please reply...

I have an educated question about getting the recon armor.

I'm not making this up.. I truely believe that I have stuff thats good enough to win the recon armor. The question is where do I post it? Now I know which forums to post pictures and videos in (halo 3 files forum), However, how can bungie get to my picture or video if everybody in the world posts after me which bumps my post to later pages.

I'm just curious to how this all works. Thanks.

Hello.

Thanks for the update.

Some of it made me laugh,

Good job, Frankie.

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.

so...in order to increase the likelihood of getting that "speacial" armor, when getting matched with a bugie employee we are supposed to just roll over and let them kill us? Well, that means im hosed, i didnt comply to that. I don't give a (alternate word for crap) if i get the "speacial" armor or not, it's only armor, and i'm perfectly fine wearing rogue. But anyways, I would rather earn the "speacial" armor for beating Bungie...or something like that.

I dunno if this is the right place to say this but I have a suggestion about S.W.A.T., and its just a minor one... maybe you could take out the grenades and make it like H2 SWAT? and for some reason Halo 3 SWAT feels easier than it was in Halo 2, or maybe ive just gotten better... anyway, Thanks for the update
