Typical Halo nerd. Move along.

SWAT in Head to Head? Madness! Or is it Genious? Great update! I am looking forward to the July 4th Playlist, and the Pics of the new map! What is that yellowish part of the map? A Flood observance site???

with iowa getting hit hard by the flood I havent gotten to play xboxlive in awhile, but hanging out with my cousin who was hit worse has brought back old memories of halo and we dug out halo 1 and played legendary on both halo 1 and 3, sadly my halo 2 disc bit the dust and another has been ordered yay!

sadly with this flooding and cleanup from sounds of it there wont be any fire works in most if not all of iowa, and that hits home hard. not once, not even in the rain has my family or Iowa postponed the celabrations. so this update gives me and my cousin somthing to look forward to bungie day, knowing bungie itll be somthing sweat or somthing big, either way im glad its almost here.

I am the hand of fate!

Woot! (Applause). Nice! That fix to head to head was all I wanted. Can't wait for 7/7... even though the only internet I'll have will be dial-up.

Oh, man more mysterious schtuff at the end.

Can't wait for Bungie day though.

You should really hold Bungie Fanfest out in Chicago, ya know, for the history.... and so I might actually be able to go (Minneapolis would actually be better, but that's just a pipe dream.... or even better a smaller town in MN north of the TC, there's lots of open space up there, plenty of room for it, I could get call my parents and totally get them to let you use thier farm! Ah well, it was a nice thought).

That's what that is.. lol that's awesome. Remember the other "smuggler" stories in the updates? It used the same kinda' "interrupted" look?

Those were confirmed to be regarding the "Cold Storage" map, and there's never been release date info given for that map, and you'll notice they aren't discussing ADDITIONAL maps that might get released with it.. suggesting that it might be released on it's own

C!#4x---^&-$x%^^p3@

It's like leet speak.. where:
! = l (L)
#=O (with extra lines leading off of it)
4 = Angular and slightly rotated version of a D
$= S
x= t = a 'T' that's in lowercase, and leaning.
%=o and r combined.
^= little tiny "A"
p = backwards g
3 = Reverse "E"

Can ya' see it? It's a misinterpreted computer line that's been rewritten to match an approximation of what it visually looked like.. but with a few extra spaces/symbols added. (probably because an initial effort with proved to be too obvious).

C!#4x---^&-$x%^^p3@ If you kinda' blur your eyes.. it turns into THIS::
CloDx--^&_Storaage@

When you remove SOME of the extra characters it's:
CloD ^& Storaage
In a bastardized version of LeetSpeak

It's great! but thankfully Bungie seems to have forgotten (or counted on?) the fact that you can recognize words visually if the first and last letters are in the correct place. It also helps when you have context to assist you too.

For Epmxlae, you mhigt not TINHK you can raed tihs, but you jsut did.

:)

It's a visual thing, so I guess just having the first and last letters represented, turne it into a similar challenge.

Of course this theory is even MORE proven when you look at the next line of the transmission, and can read parts of it, using another version of leetspeak:
• Head2@!#SWa#++-DL*SLAj3r
*Head2___Swat____DL Slayer

Sweet, thank god I'm not RROD'ing.. I feel real bad for those that are waiting for their systems to return.. that's gotta' suck.

You might as well call Recon armor a Fancy Fedora, because that's all it is really.

IB. The bane of my existence.

YES. RBTB stays, and BTB in general sees a reduction of Covies!
Also, no more turreting in swords and hammers makes it an actual melee based gametype again.

Eat raw meat.
Punch a bear in the face.


If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

Hold on, did they mention no more turrets in Sword games? And a 45 wait for indictator? OMG! Bungie is making good balances. Run to the hills, run for your lifes. (Is it safe to assume everyone knows what I referenced. If someone doesn't know, go listen to music. You'll find out.)

i might just be paranoid but that missing double XP weekend is after bungie day so maby they are goin to be sneaky and give us a free map pack or maby just cold storage. or they could give away legendary for free on 7/7 *which would get me pretty pissed*

If you aren't paralyzed with fear yet, you haven't been paying close enough attention.

Ask the Search Bar

The last bullet oint seems to be 48 hour -untranslatable hexadecimal. Probably stands for "maps" or somethin. I'm only guessing, though.

Great time for the GPU on my xbox to wear out... I probably won't have it back by the 7th. Looks like I miss out on everything... just my luck.

Couldn't agree more. I'd love to see it in my home town, plus we have 2 airports and 3 train stations so all would be able to attend.

Also, Cold Storage looks great! My friends and I have been playing Halo CE on Chill Out over xlink kai to re-familiarize ourselves with the layout. Looks like you kept it pretty true to the original. Thanks for that.


We can only hope it stays true to the original. Remakes are always better than the reimaginations.
