It's "Gashnor", not "Gashner", there's an O in there.

If you like the picture on the Update, well... Comment on it!

I took it back in February. Enjoy!

VETO!!!!!!

Great Update! I like Ranked Big Team and now I am just even more excieted to play it.

  • 05.24.2008 9:28 AM PDT

Try out my map variation out of Rat's Nest: Hangar 92!

Fantastic update!
The RBTB-Double-EXP thing is awesome! Also, the 1 vs 1 awesome and the 4vs4vs4vs4 thing is a really good idea for a future Double-EXP. I wish there will be a permanent several team playlist in the future.

  • 05.24.2008 9:31 AM PDT

I agree, nice update. Ranked Big Team is fun and I'm willing to wait a little longer for the matchmaking. Bungie, please DO NOT remove this playlist!! 4 v 4 is just not big enough sometimes, especially when a lot of people quit.

  • 05.24.2008 9:33 AM PDT

no free legendary? Por que, Bungie? POR QUE???

  • 05.24.2008 9:37 AM PDT

This update brings me a feeling of fulfillment, similar to the feeling you get after eating a piece of cake. But the cake has to be good. None of that phony Portal cake.

Loose talk is noose talk.

I love you and your posts. P:

"Spachman420: Is it possible to make Team Swat Spartans only?"

OMFG RACISM? We dealt with that like, what, 60 years ago? Dont bring it back in halo.

lol

Screw this. I was first happy seeing the 1v1 playlist. SWAT IS SLAYER. GOD DAMN IT BUNGIE. THE ONLY -blam!- REASON I PLAY SWAT IS BECAUSE IT'S LIKE SLAYER. Swhatguns will be cool if it's anything like the one in h2, but FOR THE LOVE OF GOODDDD:Make two seperate swat playlists if you really want to put all these -blam!- gametypes. "swat objective" and "swat slayer". No one wants to play swat oddball. No one even wants to play normal oddbal.

Team BRs is all the fun of playing team slayer. IMO, If you had made any changes at all, it would be changing the default starting weapon to the BR.


Bungie nooooooo. Halo 3 is going to start sucking just as I get let out for summer.

SOMEWHERE IN THE 100'S!!!!!

Is there any plans for a Humpday in wich groups of people (Not any type of company , website or random matchmade group) just challenge Bungie? I think it would be cool to see the title "Humpday Challenge: Player Request" on the Bungie homepage. ;)

i love at the end where he talks about the bungie heads discussing what makes a bungie game.

you really wanna know what makes a bungie game? k-

A bungie game is a game where the sequel is never better than the previous game. the sequel fixes previous problems with the former game but introduces a whole new set of problems. a bungie game is a game where they manage to screw up perfectly toned mechanics and settings because they felt the need to tweak things that weren't broken. a bungie game is a game that cant even run close to true HD, and manages to look like absolute dog poo on decent LCD televisions.

A bungie game is a game where the netcoding is so bad they cant handle 8v8. a bungie game manages to frustrate you so much because somehow they find a way to make things even more frustrating than before. a bungie game is a game where they try everything they can to cater to a casual crowd even though the casual crowd will abandon the game within a few months of playing (way to make your efforts worth something, geniuses). a bungie game is a game where the little things matter so much and is tested so furiously that they skip over huge glaring issues (like the initial problem with the maulers). a bungie game is a game where they will take everyones favorite weapon and reduce it's effectiveness because obviously it's a skilled base weapon and they dont want skill in this game to shine over a ridiculous AR assault.


i mean, i could just go on and on and on. fire everyone involved in halo 3, and go hire some guys from the old studio FASA. better yet, every halo project from now on that involves a FPS should be done not by bungie, but by the guys at FASA, or what was.

next time you guys have discussion of what is a bungie game maybe you should have a discussion of WHAT NOT TO DO and LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES. you have the most outspoken community and yet you manage to constantly piss them off. some of the mistakes are so obvious it's like what the hell were you thinking?

please, take note of gears of war 2. watch very closely what epic does k? it's probably what you guys should have done right after halo ce.

thanks for reading.

I'm glad to see that there is still a future for ranked BTB, I think we should have done exp a long time ago.

also, by chance if bungie reads this post.......can you give any information about anything regarding the image found on the backside of the manuel...people are digging, and connections are being made, but insight is helpful.

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Nice solid update. Thanks Luke!

No more Frankie? What in God's name?!?! Does that mean no more podcasts? Luke needs a front-man.


The band will play on, we're just tracking down a new drummer.

Dogs, everywhere

Yay! 1v1.
Also, I hope BTB goes over well. I mean heck, it is ranked double xp afterall.

  • 05.24.2008 2:07 PM PDT

omg I'm a girl

Love the updates, excited about 1v1 playlist.


But oh please, keep the name Purple Reign. That would be so awesome. I'm a huge Prince fan so I just get giddy thinking of a Halo map with a Prince-esque name.

probably something with insane hype and great marketing from microsoft that doesn't fully deliver.
