when you say 'Major cange to the online gaming of halo 3' or whatever you said (close enough) Do you mean you will take away ranks i really hope you don't because then i would have no real perspective of playing halo 3, no opertunity will unfold just like halo 2 there was no point in playing what would it show no rank, no skill, only pure ENTERTAINMENT!!!!!

can you even call it an update, there was no important info in it. those pm's were pretty funny though. i like the one from "ske7chy". why would an employee ask for recon?


Well,With e3 coming up,not only do they have a lot on their plate,just 1 small nugget of info before-hand would send the community go crazy

Let me guess.

Microsoft is going to take over the Halo 3 servers and the Fan Website.

Microsoft and third parties are going to start producing Halo 3 DLC maps.

The soon to be released DLC maps will be the last planned Bungie created DLC for Halo 3.

I would like to say. ALOT of you people are major a$$holes.If you dont like the game then dont play it. As a matter of fact, dont even talk about it. Just go back to your $hi77y lives and shut you fucl<ing face. The people at Bungie bust major balls doing all of this stuff like giving us a free map and actually responding to the community all the while dealing with all of you peoples worthless bull$hit complaints that you continuously drone on and on about. Nobody cares if the BR is a little weaker. If you have a BR and you get killed by a person with an assault rifle then you obviously suck. Bungie is trying to give us hope and saying that things will get better in the future so just sit back,shut up, and play some god damned halo 3. If i worked at Bungie i would suggest that i think now would be a good time to give the community 1...just 1...well...maybe 2 screenshots of maybe moonbase alpha or maybe purple reign. Just 1.

I am a penguin. Every day I boogie on down to the water, and eat fish. Once, while fishing in the deepest depths, I saw great Cthulhu... And he said to me "Shine, to thine own self be true. They can't tell you what to do once you've gone guru." Also, I should tell you, "slide".

This is idiotic.

Everytime I think "there's no way I'll ever read anything dumber than X" on the Internet, I read "Y."
Congrats Halo 3 Forum.

Where is the update then? I must have missed something

And the only change that could save this game is a server browser, but I don't see any real "major change" happening, probably Bungie adding something stupid in MM for them selves and nothing that no one asked for or wanted

That seems a bit soon. It took about two or three years for the last two games to go to PC.

And the whole "Microsoft taking over Halo 3" thing would kind of make sense if Bungie is hard at work on a new project.

It does seem soon but maybe it was all part of the process from the very beginning.

On the other points, I have a hunch Bungie must dump the Halo 3 overhead.

  • 07.11.2008 5:56 PM PDT

Does anyone even read these?

I can't wait for E3 but now it's time for Orlando.

My only guess is that Legendary DLC will be required in way more playlists. They hinted that this would happen in the Podcast.

Dont listen to them bungie....i think (or atleast hope) that i speak for the majority when i say we still love you. Halo3 kicks ass, theres nothing wrong with matchmaking....and if people dont like it they should go play themselves, get a life, and stop windging about their opinion. Ignore them....

PS, i respect the code you know, how you create art from a series of comands and if it takes the entire studio of profesional programmers to do it then there is no way that retards freak kid could do a better job..... i recomend that critisisers should atleast learn C++ or atleast the interface of maya, before making rediculous accusations

I stand by bungie, along with the silent majority

Halo CE > Halo 3 > Halo 2

Fix the Halo 3 BR spread, plz.

Major CHanges to Halo's online experience sounds good, as long as it has to do with making melees take more skill, fixing hit dectection or fixing the spawn system.

Major changes to the Halo 3 Online experience! I hope that it is something actually good. Like fixing some game play problems. And not them switching around the main menu or something dumb.
