Subject: Bungie Weekly Update: 5/23/08

Hooray for Bungie update. It's been a long time coming. I love that the tomfoolery and shenanigans of the going ons at Bungie are what our wet dreams are made of. We eat this stuff up.

My pants fear no man.

One thing i was curios about. I think Regular team slayer should begin with Br's and Ar's becauase if you are on the pit and someone is running away with ur flag and all ur have is an ar, that's pretty annoying

Fight me!

I think it was a great update!
It´s a good move to make the ranked big team a double exp, that can might get it going again!
Good work bungie!

"Go then. There are other worlds than these."

The return of the Heroic Map pack to the DLC playlists brings me unfathomable joy.

The other updates to matchmaking are nifty too.

1v1: Awesome news.

MLG Changes: Excellent.

SWAt Changes. Love Objectives....ShSWAt...Not too sure...gonna have to watch out for that.

Team Objective: We need to get it back alive. Please!

RBTB: Fine with everything...but don't remove it if it doesnt work...Give it another month after June as well.

Other stuff: Ok..Not too bad.

Now the problem: Team Slayer. You shouldn't be decreasing the number of BR Start games. You should be increasing them. Or remove Nor mal AR-only starts completely. I think I speak for all when I say this.

New maps: SOUND -blam!- AWESOME!!! WOOT!!!!!!!!!

Halo 3 is, and will always be, the best game for the 360 with the best Dev Support. Take that COD4. Take that Infinity Ward.

PS: I love COD4 as well. Play it whenever I switchon my pc. So don't call me a fanboy please. I am most certainly not.

When is the podcast coming back?

When are you going to fix the bug that randomly prevents the Security armor being worn on the new maps?

When are Flame grenades coming to a playlist near me?

  • 05.24.2008 12:11 AM PDT

I give up. My question shall forever remain unanswered. I have asked countless times with no result so I'll just live without it.

Some nice changes, I always wondered why Team Snipers was to twenty five, nice fix.

  • 05.24.2008 12:24 AM PDT

The best part about this update by far is the inclusion of SHWATguns. It reminds me very fondly of Team Action Sack...oh Bungie...make me a happy boy and bring back some Team Action Sack...

Lol, epic fail. If it was "Regular team slayer" on the pit, not only why would someone have your flag, but why would there be a flag at all? hahahaha

Seriously though, awesome, great update apart from the lower weighting of BR starts in TS. Not so keen about that. Like the Head to Head playlist though, but most excited about 3 ball.
I remember a few weeks ago I was reading a thread about possibly implementing a 4v4v4v4 playlist or something similar, and i guess Shishka took notice. The fact that its only Oddball rocks too.
It's nice to know Bungie cares about what we the community really want.

Proud tester of the Halo 3 beta.

Head on Head! I'll try it out! Also, I got my question answered! Thanks!

  • 05.24.2008 1:37 AM PDT

about the ranked big team battle problem.
i was playing yesterday it and there was 400 people. then i checked how many were in social.
1600!
just remove social and everyone will come to the ranked playlist.
social sucks.

  • 05.24.2008 1:42 AM PDT

:] yay i love head to head when halo 2 first had head to head it was my highest rank.
:[ less BR starts.
:[ no armor perms but ill get over it.
:[ legendary maps not going to be free (i own them ) but this means that they wont show up in ranked slayer and ranked doubles

Iris=win.
Look for the signs, the keepers of the flame.
They will Lead you to war, and perhaps, to victory.

Arguing on the internet is like participating in the special olympics. You might win, but you're still retarded.

HEY BUNGIE, I WOULD LIKE AN BETA TEST PLOX KTHNX

When it said "The Fire Has Been Extingiushed" I actually got really sad. Was there a ceremony? ....was it horrible?

The problem with this is that Ranked Big Team Battle is impossibly laggy. Social isn't. A lot of people perfer a quality game over a lag-filled ranked game. There's nothing wrong with Social.

"I aim to misbehave" - Captain Malcom Reynolds.

It's quite an eye-opener to understand what exactly has to work for online play, personally since the previous major game update when certain issues were corrected (the melee counter for example), I've not noticed any particular major issues.
There are the occasional laggy matches but that can't be helped, but that's rare.

  • 05.24.2008 3:10 AM PDT

everything's cool, except for more symmetrical games on ghost town
WTF??
the attacking team (in asymmetrical games) hasn't even got a base. every single time i played symmetrical objective on ghost town, the team that spawns by the pipes lost, regardless of what team i was on
that's just pure BS...but hell, ghost town gets vetoed 9 out of 10 times anyway
