Nothing in here about the Recon Challenge in the Western US. Does this mean that he wasn't found, or are they just waiting to release the winner?

  • 07.11.2008 7:18 PM PDT

Hmm... amusing... yes...

You guys get a lot of data on just about everything in the game, is there a way to find that guy who got th 7 billionth kill?

If I were perfect then this would be easy.

Ooh rah for angry video making!

Oh what fools of fools. Dare they argue against Bungie? Dare they kick against the pricks and suffer the sling of outrageous fortune...that is also pointed at the Sun directly?

...Well, 'outa be a good show then! Huzzah!

Practice makes perfect.

Woah, changes I love changes. Honestly all the changes Bungie has made I've had absolutely no problem. (The melee was awesome for games that lagged)

I do remember seeing the words "Officially and unofficially the worst update of all time." In another weekly update before though...

  • 07.11.2008 8:15 PM PDT

Lol way to keep it vague.

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

yet again you single out people while there is a rule against doing just that. -blam!- you luke, you have no respect for your fans.

Here is to you Halo 3

I think 7 billion kills were acheived along time ago! If you add in all the kills the people got who do not have xbox live and you add in there kills it might have been enough to break 7 billion!

I hope the big change to Halo 3 MP is a BR that will make all other weapons pointless. lol Yes I am drunk!

  • 07.11.2008 8:50 PM PDT

Major changes to the Halo 3 Online experience
Sweet Announcements

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 thought about this and sorta predicted the same thing. I really hope you're wrong. Microsoft will -blam!- it up. Look at what happened to Halo 2 for Vista!

I'm hopeful that they're just doing some playlist housecleaning, maybe requiring legendary for more ranked playlists. possibly even a game-changing autoupdate that everyone will complain about...hopefully not handing halo 3 online over to microsoft....

An improved online experience...this means Shishka's loading down matchmaking with Phantom Pistols and Golden Showers, right? YES! *pumps fists*

7 Billion Kills! All right! Great job everyone!

Can't wait for those announcements you at Bungie have been baiting us with. And I know they must be good if they will spark a huge wave of angry videos!

So to take a stab at one of the amazing announcements... you guys are going to announce Halo 5 aren't you? (I mean it's relatively obvious that you'd skip Halo 4 for artistic reasons.)

So now I'm a beta tester. Let's see where this goes.

I know you guys must get a lot of people writing hate mail but taking the time to enable them.... WOW! Almost makes me want to write my own hate mail just so that I can be mentioned in the update. This place sure has changed since Frankie left.

So let me get this straight. You are angry because you missed a guy's head with the sniper, and you are upset with Bungie because they did not put enough auto aim into the game to make you a better sniper. Then you talk about the Halo 3 BR. Lets say we are playing a game on The Pit and I'm on top of my sniper spawn and you are on top of yours. You have a sniper and I have a battle rifle. Is it really a bad thing that I can't four shot you from across the map. I can shoot you so you can't snipe me but I most likely will not kill you. The game was designed so the Battle Rifle was still the go to weapon but does not have ridiculous power it had in Halo 2. Then you say 'were so addicted to the used to be good gameplay from Halo 2.' Have you even played Halo 2? I'm not saying that it was not a great game because it was. But the online gameplay got a lot better from Halo 2 to 3. Just think of the gameplay on Terminal for Team Slayer. Whoever got in the Wraith and controlled the courtyard was always the team that won. Ever played on Ascension? If a team had both snipers in the big tower and small tower than the losing team spawned near the banshee and kept getting sniped. Halo 2 was whoever controlled the map, controlled the game. With an SMG start if you try to kill a foe who possessed a Battle Rifle, your odds of winning were absolutely horrible even at close range because of the BXR glitch. In Halo 3, there is a lot more to winning. Yes map control still matters but it is harder to hold map control because of the way the maps are set up and the addition of an Assault Rifle rather than a Sub. With an Assault Rifle start if you try to kill a foe that has a BR you still have the disadvantage but at least you have a fighting chance. So because maintaining map control is considerably more difficult in Halo 3, it takes more skill and teamwork to do it. My point is that it is better for a losing team to have a fighting chance than for them to get slaughtered like they do in Halo 2. As for people who complain about things, I still do not understand. If you liked Halo: CE better, then play it. If you liked Halo 2 better, then play it. I know many people are Call of Duty fans, but I do not find the game particularly fun. You will not find me on their forums crying about how bad there game is because obviously it is a game that other people enjoy. So what is the point of me wasting my time talking about a game I do not like? There is none. I do not know how you haters were brought up, but my mother taught me, 'If you don't have anything good to say, keep it to yourself.' Constructive criticism is one thing, but saying stuff like OMG I HATE BUNGIE is not appropriate and sounds stupid and childish. This game is Rated M for Mature for a reason and its about time that some people start acting mature enough to play this game even if a large portion are not.

Ohhh no you didn', if you caved about the BR... I'm going to be so angry. I don't know what I'll do, I might just drown a 1000 kitteh's in my mother's bathroom toilet... or push over old ladies crossing the street (who knows if they'll even be able to get back up)... No instead I will read a 13 min oration on why I hate you (without the text mind you, I'm far too lazy to type that much and you only deserve a black "like my soul" screen and my melodious voice)... get ready because I'm filming so hard right now it's ridiculous!!!!!! >:-@

I feel the same way. What ruined halo 2 for me was that auto update that made the BR super overpowered from any range. All other weapons except the sniper are obsolete in halo 2 now. Please, don't do that to halo 3. The BR is balanced.
