That was a total dick move at the end of your update.

It's astonishing to me that a grown -blam!- man would resort to such childish behavior.

You won't but I think you owe Dan a full apology for your actions.

Cold Storage comes out on Bungie Day for free I think. All the hints so far link to that.

Cold Storage looks cool! In the first pic, is that a Tank Form in that Chamber? If so...Cool!

Guys, take it easy on them! They're way too busy to fix the BR.

I love the look of the new map, looks amazing (as usual)

Thank you Bungie for making Team Snipers playlist, if only for a double XP weekend. Now starting with a Beam Rifle and a Human sniper, you guys need to get on top of that. I still have friends that will not buy Halo 3 because you put a ban on Sniping.

A driver afraid of nothing- not even death, who remains apart from everyone else.

The new map looks fantastic. Keep them coming!

761 armless & legless corpses float inconspicuously around the inside of hangar 96. I say they are inconspicuous because it is their arms & legs which demand my attention. I did this, or I could have stopped it. Which is it? It doesn't matter now. I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a Gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you it does. They say every 5 minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there 761 armless and legless corpses in one hangar?

LOL am I the only one who noticed the "Dude, you really need to..." reference to the old Chill Out description?

That looks awesome- I think Cold Storage may be part of what The Smuggler might be about...

agreed, i didnt think so at first based on the MLG photos, but after seeing the flood, im quite convinced. along with that, the light at the top appears very much to be a monitor (2401 PT?)
besides that, in the second pic, the looks just like the one seen inside the bases through the glass in avalanche

Moonbase Alpha has, fittingly enough, a switch on it, like at Standoff and Last Resort. This switch however, does not open a gate. It lowers the gravity... :)

  • 06.22.2008 9:46 AM PDT

that should be fun

  • 06.22.2008 10:12 AM PDT

The BR expose was awesome, but I'd like to know more about scoping vs noscoping with the BR. MLG has a video up here showing how the rifle is less accurate while scoped in at shorter distances vs not scoped in, while it is more accurate scoped in at longer distances vs not scoped in. Could Bungie explain the details next time we have a weapon pau wau?

The rest of the update is cool. You guys should come to MLG Dallas later this year.

Why is it okay for the BR to be inherently random, when it isn't okay for the melee system to be random? Heck, why not make the entire game based off of an RNG (random number generator) like WoW? Oh wait, the br already is.

compare it to real life, dude. the outcome of someone getting punched isn't random, so it shouldn't be in the game. However, at a long enough range, a real burst-fire weapon's bullets will spray and potentially miss their mark. it's random in real life, so why not in halo?

OK so now people want halo to be more realistic, that's funny dude. Every time I had a discussion here about the melee system and I was talking about how unrealistic it was, most of you replied gameplay =>realism.
ANd know when you think it's the other way around you're saying that realism=>gameplay. And what you're saying isn't even true, I mean it does happen in real life, but only at greater distance. A distance you often never get to see in halo 3. So why put in this system when you know things like this waste memory on your game?

new maps awsome
im hoping to get a job as a multiplayer map designer in bungie

  • 06.22.2008 3:14 PM PDT

Why do we have to hate on Luke? he probably is just doing his job.\\

By the way:

Bungie shouldn't all of the original maps for Halo and Halo 2 have come with Halo 3 in the first place?

this update proves that bungie ignores the competitive community and that more btb maps and ar's are the way to go. just look at the halo 3 forums over at mlgpro and everyone has no faith in u guys since u killed blackout and cold storage looks like its been butchered also. imho halo 3 has a couple maps that are actually good but the best isnt even made by you guys. onslaught is better that what you have put out in 2 map packs and the maps that shipped with the game .

and why would u put what u did at the end of the update? total dick move

edit:a quote from Tyson Green (halo 3 multiplayer lead):randomness is a poor substitute for tactics and skillful execution

whambulance is fail. vapor's always been a very helpful and supportive member of the halo and mlg communitys. not a cool thing to do.

  • 06.22.2008 9:53 PM PDT

Please Bungie, redeem yourself w/ Reach.
Halo 2 and 3 both stink out loud.
In the immortal words of Mr Horse: Halo 2? No sir, didn't like it.

Wow, real cool to slam one of your loyal fans Bungie! I think the success has gone to your head. Do you guys think it's cool to single out and make fun of the people who buy and support your product?
