Very, very nice update. New playlists and maps sound awesome.

I am dissappointed about some of the answers, though, like the Legendary Maps mabye never being free. (I have them, though)

Decorators and detail have brought subtle differences to each of Purple Reign’s symmetrical bases. One base of this open-air arena could end up getting called “Energy side” and another call-out could end up “Hunter side.” Geometrically, Purple Reign is built on a bowl, with some gentle concavity on the floor space, dotted with columns for cover. Four elevated walkways converge in a small bi-level center structure that sports a cache of important items.
That certainly sounds like Derelict to me.

It's like Halo's becoming a miniature version of WoW, update-wise. That's definitely a good thing to see changes being constantly moved in and tuned up.

  • 05.24.2008 5:09 PM PDT

I'm probably twice your age, punk!

Oh, and say hi to your Mom.

Thanks again for all the great info in the update. I'm glad you're adding the heroic maps back into DLC.

Now the complaints: Who's twisted idea was it to add oddball, CTF, and shotguns to SWAT? SWAT is perfect the way it is now! If you want to add some maps, that would be fine but don't change the theme of the game. I think you're making a mistake.

How about a ranked team snipers playlist???

Great weekly update Lukems. More info than an Ent can shake a stick at.

Welcome Back!

Thanks for responding to the communities requests for 1v1 and added SWAT gametypes, although I am somewhat skepticle of the ShWAT variant.... we'll see.

I am quite sure that many people are glad to hear that certain questionable characteristics in some peoples matchmaking is being looked into. Swing that BANHAMMER!!!

Trophy shot 'Focus' has been featured on the Bungie.net home page! Thanks, Bungie!

Bungie waited 21 months to announce Halo 3 at E3 2006. That means their announcement for their next project has to come between now and June of next year, (24 months after Halo 3's release is September '09, minus three months is June. Sweet).

I can't speculate if this Smuggler map or whatever is a rebirth of a past fave. This is the first I've heard of it.

I was holding out for the Legendary maps to go free. Never? Never EVER? I guess I should suck it up, quit being a cheap-skate, and spend the 10 bucks on the Halo 3 goodness.

Too bad about armor perms, but I'd rather a new map than a new face.

Lastly, great update! Looking forward to next week to see what the dot-net update is all about.

235th!!!

Anyway, I enjoyed the update. 1v1 sounds fun, and it's nice team snipers will go to 50 instead of 25.

Also, is this new "Smuggler" map going to be small? I've been trying to figure out which will be the next "big" map. Purple Reign sounds like it might be the big one. Or will the next pack not contain a big map? That would be kind of disappointing...but I'm sure the maps will be great anyway.

It's a hunter.

Good job on giving slayer a bit more variety. Don't listen to the complainers, they'll adapt.

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

Hush hush Bungie is hush hush...

BTW, thank you for making changes to the next grifball playlist, this spring league one had me upset with its non-grifballness. My roomates and I weeped.

I run away from an enemy to gather thoughts, not because I can't win. Get too close and I'll show you a view of my shotgun barrel and the bullet that comes out.

It's nice and all that Bungie is fixing the bugs, I mean who wouldn't watn them to? Although I think they need to stop creating more playlists, and focus more on fixing that "I can shoot and kill my opponent from behind the corner they just passed." And they NEED to bring Social Doubles back- it was idiotic to take it away. I mean they repleace social double with what of all things- BTB.... -_- BTB is THE WORST playlist EVER! Who wants to be a noob and throw a bizzilion grenades and hope to kill somebody because some douche with a bad connectin got host....

C'mon Bungie, be smart and bring back social doubles!?!

I hope you guys at Bungie seriously considered my E-mail that i wrote to you guys about including a pelican, phantom, troop hog, AA wraith on a map only on custom games and forge. It would be the best thing you guys could do EVER to include these vehicles one multiplayer!

Bungie, I have to say that whenever I go on to MM I get extremely aggravated. So aggravated that I turn off my xbox and put ion COD4. Although i think that HALO has the best story line and is basically the best game ever, it is the most annoying thing on MM. the turrets are highly over powered while most hand held weapons are under powered. I mean seriously three shots to the head with the BR and -blam- you're dead. While a whole clip with the AR does not kill the other person. I wish you guys would do something, because i never even look at SWAT any more due to the cheapness of the BR.
