"Seems to me you should spend less time on that article and more time working on that novel you've been working on!!!"

I thought that was a riveting update. And if that picture is really what Purple Reign looks like, I'll be filled with glee. If its not, I'll still be happy, I guess. That map sort of looks familiar. What was that purple map in Halo 2 with the Prophet statue and the bonsai lookin trees in the center, and the teleports above them? Thats what it looks like, the cliff part anyhow...

ah yes, gemini. but I fear it will be like midship, since thats what MLG people like. It just never did much for me. It wasn't bad by any means. I'm just not much for smaller maps. I like vast expanses where I can run away. Run away, and leave a base behind! Twirling in the flowers along the large hills as I sing "The sound of music." And now I'm done...

im sure purple reign is a covenent themed map focusing on geometry and backround similiar to midship/gemini.


I'm sure It's a covenant themed map based apon the drawers choice to color It purple......

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Where is your yellow text?

Everyone stay calm. This is an internet terrorist attack. Bungie, you might want to read this reply of mine because if i dont get recon armor by twelve o'clock tonight I will be forced to hack Bungie.net and ruin this site.


Sweet, and I thought I wouldn't get to ban anyone today.

OH SNAP!!!

Bugs in halo reach final game as of 9/2/10

in forge i am trying to make gametypes objectives but all i see is hill markers and flag points. If im trying to make a ctf game variant and i use the capture point and the flag stand and go into custom games. There is always a error saying "map not compatible with gametype" This is not just with ctf but with most other custom game and map variants.
EDIT: this was just a understanding issue that was cleared post-game release

howcome its not lukems?
also nice drawing.
was it drawn on a napkin?

Wow, purple rain looks like ascension when you are looking out to the banshee spawn from just above the ramp from down bottom. suspiciously like it in fact ...

I'm a little distraught that Shishka gave up on the dream of being a linebacker.

"Banadu."

*giggles*

I may or may not be the first person to be inspired, here, but I present my efforts nonetheless:

In Banadu did Bungie Team
A fitting punishment decree :
Where Live, the sacred platform, ran
Through fiber measureless to man
Down to the players free.
So twice five score of farktard cheats
Were walled and trapped for their deceits :
And there were game-maps bright with revelrous stunts
Where blew up many a birthday-party Grunt ;
And here were griefers shut off from their sprees,
Decrying Bungie's lack of clemency.


(Original here, for those of you unfamiliar with Coleridge. I'm afraid I don't have enough Halo knowledge to do the whole thing, but others are more than welcome to add to it. Hooray for the Internet and collaborative works!)
