....spongy, bungie, who cares? I got mine!

Also, to anyone wondering, Shishka replied to a thread in the optimatch forum saying, on the RBT Topic.

Ah, I thought that was going in, Luke must've forgot.

RBTB lives to see another month.

Gamertag - Rdog 11

Call me Rdog, not RdOG or RdOG1507. I made that username when I thought it was cool to use alternating capital and lowercase letters...

Are those Master Chief/spartan bobbleheads new? I haven't seen them before. I want one.

When I grow up I want to be bitter and spiteful.

"i liked the reality where everything was on fire better"
-legato on remedial chaos theory

Reducing this to real-world functions of sine disappoints me.

I liked the conventional "The wind got it."

No matter how many times I forget about this place, I always get dragged back.

I'm more than okay with that.

Oh, those Cold Storage pics are going straight to my desktop background. Excellent update too, finally explaining the BR to all the whiners. I read it after the actual update, (I'm cool with the BR, I clicked the shiny blue link.)

I haven't looked on the Halo 3 forums yet. Should I close my eyes?

this means that nothing will be changed right?

it just seems like "balanced" means that people who are lucky > people with skill

the br fit better for the most part in halo 2, like in swat, where a headshot usually kills. unlike halo 3 swat

"Do you still want to change the BR spread?"

Same as usual.

I think it's a tad f'd up you guys did that Whambulance thing and had the guy's name out to the public. Usually it's an anonymous thing.

You guys even screeshotted his signature which had his gamertag and everything.

It's just a tad f'd up..

ROFL @ dan91... he was always crying in Optimatch and MLG forums about the BR.

The technical aspects of how the BR functions was an interesting read.

  • 06.20.2008 6:14 PM PDT

Nice screens of Cold Storage. Can't wait to see what other things you guys have in your minds.

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

Awesome drawings! Who made those?

Godservant, reporting for duty.

If we are seeing stuff about more new maps (thank the Bungie gods!), does that mean the Legendary Map Pack will be free soon?

*praying to the Bungie gods*

Please let the Legendary Map Pack go free soon!

Nice writing on the mechanics on the Battle Rifle, still, to most people they'll still whine about "bungle r not fix br this gmae is suck".

Cold Storage looks like the best looking map you've ever made, but Moonbase is supposed to beat that? Oh, and I wonder what Guilty Spark is doing on the map, it does take place on Installation 05, correct?

  • 06.20.2008 6:21 PM PDT

Isn't anybody at all excited about Chill Out coming back? That's so awesome...I remember playing on the map before it was even considered unfair to be an Elite on S.W.A.T.
Take me home..:)

  • 06.20.2008 6:22 PM PDT

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

nice update I for one enjoy Bungies efforts to balance the game I think the BR is fine as it is and yes I do use it alot and it does annoy me that it misses when the foe is really far away

You haven't played it yet guys. We got two good quality pictures to look at and ya'll are saying how great it is. Remember Rat's Nest and Stand Off. They look great but don't play so well or they get vetoed.


No, ''y'all'' are saying how great it LOOKS. As it does look great.

EDIT: Actually, thinking about it... we HAVE played it. It's a Chill Out remake, innit? Yeah alright, Blackout had a few changes (none that I myself really cared about) but on the whole it was a true remake. I have no worries this will be any different.

For gameplay I'm sure its going to fun in that competetive way that Guardian is, but I'm more interested in the aesthetics and back story to it. I'm LOVING the actual Flood specimen in the tank, and the Monitor--blam!--security camera type thing in the top right of the second picture... or is a Monitor leaving a service tunnel ala the Sentinels in a few levels of Halo 2? Would remind me of Backwash if there was another Monitor floating around. Might need to be changed to red just in case people think it's a plasma grenade, haha.
