Call me Rdog, not RdOG or RdOG1507. I made that username when I thought it was cool to use alternating capital and lowercase letters...

I have a feeling that next week's update will be good, with the E3 announcement before it and the hints at the end of this week's update.

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.


NOW! that is what im talkin about! he's genius and he totally right about this.. pure genius..

i just did the math and in order for the cummunity to reach 77 billion kills by bungie day next year it would take 213.9 million kills PER DAY starting now

8,789,954 PER HOUR...... i really doubt that is going to happen

I feel sorry for the bungie employees over 8000 messages!!! WOW

What I have to say about some of the messages in this update:
Some people have to realize that halo 3 ISNT halo 2. Halo 3 is its own game. If there wasnt the first 2 games of the trilogy to compare it to so many more people would think that H3 is the best game there is and there are a lot less flaws. All 3 games are amazing but I veiw them each as their own game so by the changing the BR from H2 I dont think they ruined the BR I think they made a new BR that will better fit the Halo 3 game. I love the BR in both games.

Im very excited for the changes coming up hopefully there wont be too many people flooding the forums with their useless complaints. Good job Bungie at making a good game. No game is perfect but you have some of the closest games there are too it.

Not to bad of an update.
Keeps things fresh, and keeps things... well... interesting I guess.
I agree though... it was the worst update of all time. There were no free napkins included with it to wipe the french fry grease off of our hands! What kind of barbarians don't include free napkins!?

77 Billion for the next Bungie day eh?
... That's a lot of playing through Halo 3. Granted, it'll give me a reason to keep playing so I'm actually good... So... Go team!

Glad to hear Bungie Day appears to be liked by both the fans and the workers alike. Whatever evil plans they're cooking up... well... hopefully they're good evil.

The Bungie Podcast... I've been missing that show. Glad it's also finally back.
I was disappointed that I didn't get to hear the great horn introduce itself after the intro song though.

As for all the messages Lukems got? ... I'm willing to bet the messages break down as follows...

60 % = Cheap Meds, Natural Enhancement Stuff, and Cheap Expensive Watches.
25 % = Requests for that thing in Halo 3 everyone and their grandpa wants.
14 % = Hate Mail for that one thing he did that one day at that one time.
.75 % = Requests from co-workers for their money back.
.20 % = Requests from co-workers for their staplers back.
.05 % = Important Work Related Stuff that was due many many moons ago.

As for angry users? Eh~ They're angry. Hope they felt somewhat better after sending those messages.

As for the future... Hmm...
... I hope it's free candy! ... Or pie! Yay future!
... Although... I could find myself regretting saying that. Uh oh...

  • 07.11.2008 11:10 PM PDT

Halo's a pretty cool guy, he kills aliens and doesn't afraid of anything.

I hope You guys at Bungie are planing something big for E3 next week, oh man I can taste the bungie goulosh that is there awesomeness >.<.
Head Implodes wondering about what 'major changes' could be done to Halo 3. Oh why do you tease us so much.

Whether it's superbouncing or interrupting weapon animations, just because we don't personally ban you for it doesn't mean it isn't cheating and extremely poor sportsmanship.

You know, when I read that hate message about how much Halo 3 sucked all I heard was "OMG, you totally didn't make the game to exactly MLG's specifications! I suck so hard that I can only use one weapon out of the whole slew of them. Why did you try to make the game fun?"



Lame-o, why should Bungie bow down to do whatever MLG wants? Last time I checked MLG didn't make an epic game made of win-sauce. Shove that in your BR and shoot it.

Hey guys,

I really appreciated the prior notice of the "Upcoming Weekend Double Experience". I realize that secrecy might be a pleasant surprise when one signs on mid-afternoon Thursday, however I have been scheduling Halo parties with my friends based on what the "Experience" is. My buddies do have hoppers they like and those that we kindly pass on; and others who schedule their days off based on what the hopper is. Even if we could get a few days notice it would help us out on out our scheduled "get-togethers".

Thanks Guys,
"Are You Experienced",
