So when you say "Xbox hardware is banned from Halo 3" you mean you collaborated with Microsoft to actually preventing an xbox player from launching any halo 3 xex's?

Microsoft has that authority over someone's xbox that they purchased and over a game someone purchased? XBL has a TOS but using the XBOX CONSOLE doesn't does it?

So as far as I understand it the "new" ranking system is allowing us as player just follow how soon we will rank up and how well we are doing in each type of play list. It isn't taking the place of any of the ranks already in play.

Thanks for the 1 vs 1 playlist bungie!!(NVM ITS REMOVED ALREADY)

NO I WILL NOT JOIN YOUR GROUP IF YOU ASK ME TO

This includes some never-before-unleashed technology that will effectively terminate your Halo multiplayer experience online in every imaginable facet. In fact, the ban is so thorough that simply calling it the Banhammer is a complete understatement

This part had me laughing. It was like they were saying "you are going to get so -blam!- banned if you put modded content in your fileshare." . Haha they made an entire paragraph telling you how bad they will own you with their banhammer. thats great.

I don't want random messages (ie, Join my group, etc). I have begun blocking solicitations.

More than likely, each Xbox has a unique identifier that Xbox Live can constantly see. Bungie probably just bans that identifier for the month (or whatever).

THIS IS THE WORST UPDATE EVER. BUNGIE DOES A GOOD JOB AT HYPING THINGS THEN JUST SHUTS US DOWN. THEY GO AFTER FILE SHARE PEOPLE BUT NOT THE CHEATERS. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DONT JUST BRING BACK THE H2 MM SYSTEM BECAUSE IT WAS PERFECT. NOW YOU GUYS TAKE IT FROM GHEY TO REALLY GHEY. THE ONLY GOOD THING IS THAT BLACKOUT IS GONE, DOUBLES HAS MORE GAMETYPES, AND THAT THERE'S AN EXPERIENCE BAR NOW. NOT LIKE IT MATTERS THOUGH.

I personally think that this whole ranking per play list is a very dumb idea. You shouldn't have individual military ranks. Regardless of how much you played one play list compared to another one does not take away the overall experience you acquired by playing. People who are generals (such as myself) are proud to show that we are generals in every game we play. Now, even though we earned the exp and the numeric rank we won't have the military rank that we spent months on getting.

i agree. im a grade 3 gen. and i was going to start playing double exp to get my 5 star. but forget it. bungie is screwing generals over. yeah im sure strike commanders are happy. but wtf is going to happen to my emblem. i didnt work this hard to have it taken away. im 50 in lone wolves, and 48 in doubles. are they going to be erased and i start out as a recrruit again. cause if so i will quit halo. i will be so pissed and take halo back to gamestop.

Hey uh Bungie... Thanks allot for completely ruining the ranking system in halo. to become a General you should have to be good, not just play allot. Because of this update I know know that all of that precious time I spent getting to my lvl 50 was a waist. I will probably stop playing Halo now because of all the n00bs that will be Generals and Im a 5* General so ya I earn my level and they didn't so I am going to say this is a very big mistake and you shouldn't change anything the ranks are perfect as they are so DON'T CHANGE THEM!

Spartans are from Venus and Elites are from Uranus

Ha, and for those who actually care about rank, Im sure MM just got more addicting.
Personally, I don't care though. Im more intersted in what other changes this update may bring.

Why is hammer such an as­shole?

How about I hammer your as­shole.

this new ranking system is going to be sweet!

  • 08.01.2008 9:15 PM PDT

I can see how this new ranking stuff is supposed to work but honestly I'm just confused as to why they felt the need to add another ranking layer. Did anyone look at the ranking system and say.. "MAN I WISH I WAS DIFFERENT RANKS IN ALL PLAYLISTS!!" I honestly don't really feel like its a bad or good idea, just kind of an unnecessary one.

I'd much rather have some sort of transparency in our progress towards the next level (like halo 2's progress bars).

The VT in "VTSharp Shooter" stands for VermonT

i know you ban ppl from posting modded maps, but what about the ppl that post fake maps or pictures saying if you do something you will get recon, idk about the rest of you but thats just horrible.

  • 08.01.2008 9:20 PM PDT

Godservant, reporting for duty.

What if they call the supreme ban weapon the BAN CANNON.

Bungie- Home of the BAN CANNON!
