Hello.

This was a pretty good update. That was some nice math, although I am sure this confused a lot of users. Still, it explained what needed to be explained. Cold Storage looks amazing, and I hope to hear more about it in future updates.

I ran a series of tests studying how much injury a dead body could handle. The results were fatal.

Too...Much....Aghhhhhhh!
I actually understood all of that very thoroughly....and spelled thoroughly right without spell check!

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

I think it was more fun when most people didn't understand the Halo 3 BR. Cold Storage looks really cool. I can't wait for 7/7 and 8/29! Just remember Nerd Rage is a victimless crime, unless they are mad at you.

I read the update... Why not Damnation?
Oh well.
I saw a tip in Halo 3 telling me to aim just in front of a moving target with the BR.
First, I need to learn to aim at a non-moving target, though.

Thanks for the update. Perhaps one type of complaining has been removed...

after playing h2 since the day it came out and lauging at my friends and eventually watching them all fall under my spree of bxR and bXb...makes it difficult to adjust to the networking of H3.

i started to play h:CE and turns out much of the networking is similar in that i have to time my shots more carefully..

so instead of playing at the level 9 sensitity on H2, i have to play on either 4 or 5 which is still to fast in certain instances.
_i can understand the new design and adore the new maps. but there will always be compliants from H2 veterans ;D

Gotta say, this pretty much confirms what I already thought about the BR. I just didn't know it applied to the first bullet as well.

Lukems,

We'd love to have you on the podcast to discuss this and more as this has truly shed a lot of light on the "sandbox" of Halo 3.

Please let me know if this is a possibility.

Godservant, reporting for duty.

Everyone's talking about the BR, and I decided to spice it up a bit.

If you think 8v8 rockets would be fun (like me) vote here

If you don't like the idea (what is wrong with you) vote here

If you have another idea vote and comment here

Dan Bauer isnt actually crying, he's laughing at you bungie. You guys sure do know how to push away your customers. Well for instances what is the most played game on xbl? Maybe you should listen to your community, instead of mocking them. I support Dan Bauer, and to the community of halo 3 check out there podcast! Remember Bungie we are your customers!

My YouTube Channel. Just getting into the Machinima business.

Hey Bungie... If I actually do leave Canada and go down to Seattle for August 29-31;

1) Will you have an ambulance standing by in case I pass out and whack my head on the the sacred pavement surrounding Bungie studios?

2) Can you have some Kleenex there plz?

3) As a souvenir, I can has Lukems? Or Shishka, I won't be picky. I hear they're both pocket sized.

Nice thread about the BR. I thought the use of sine was rather ingenious.

  • 06.20.2008 8:05 PM PDT

Get WorkPLaced!!

I can't wait for that new map to come out, also I'm glad you guys finally cleared up the BR thing because I was getting tired of seeing it everywhere, I personally never had a problem with it.

That guy at the end, why get so mad over a game? At least Bungie has a great community as opposed to alot of other developers that just make a game and forget about it after they get there paycheck.

The Chief’s helmet is approximately 0.094 world units wide, so if the shields pop, that bullet – aimed and fired accurately – under reasonable network conditions yields a kill.

Isn't actually crying? I think the overuse of the caps lock and his leaving of an entire game because of a THREAD is enough for me to think he's nothing but a whiny kid.

The fact that this weeks update explains in DETAIL one of the most talked about online features of Halo 3 pretty much proves they listen to the community. Oh, that and about a thousand other things like theater videos, Forge maps, screenshots, all of the fan sites that appear in the Blog pretty much every 2-3 days...

But if you want to support some angst kid getting way to worked up about something that really isn't that important over Bungie having a little joke about it then fine, go ahead. BAWWWWWWW.

Wow, Cold Storage... wow! That looks like an awesome map! It's cool how Bungie puts the technical stuff in there, like about the BR, and how the damage works, etc. - I'm sure about half of the people out there don't care about that but I really appreciate them for doing that; thanks Bungie. It's much better than them just saying "The BR in Halo3 is better, just stop whining about it and go play the dam game." lol at the Waaaaaaaaaaaahmbulance...

Bungie Day is coming, and I can only hope, that my 360 doesn't die the day before this marvelous occasion!

lol - Nice update! I can't wait for more info on the maps, they sound like they're gonna be great!
