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

How exactly are "per playlist" ranks going to work? Can you be a General in Team Slayer, but say have only a 30 in that playlist? Or are explanations being saved for later? Also, ETA on AU 2?

So, does this mean that "unranked games" are now ranked? Then again, they were known as social playlists.

Edit: maybe guests will take on either a low rank, the rank of their main profile, or the average of the party.

I think the new leveling system is going to be great. What a good idea. Now I'll get to raise my rank in more than one playlist!

Also have to say I love when the banhammer swings.

Good update for the most part. I agree with all the changes coming to the Playlists. The only thing wrong with it was there was no podcast, oh well good update cant wait for AU2.

This is honestly BS dude.

Garbage staff captains are going to run around with boosted General rankings without having to get to a 50?

More unlegit 50s? Great. Worst thing Bungie has done to this game yet..

Whatever.

What are you talking about? You still have to get a 50 to be a General

Yeah if a revamp of the ranking system is a normal change, (based off of how it was addressed here) I could only wonder what Bungie considers to be a Huge change.

Then there are the people who poop in the mash potatoes. Those people get launched out on their asses.

Nice update once again. Couple of questions.

1.Why was the discuss option not available when the post was made?
2.The headlines of everything in the Bungie Blog was purple, now it's blue.
3.Is the website going to get an update as well when the AU rolls out?

  • 08.01.2008 5:50 PM PDT

Whisper Game Studios - shhhh, it's a public secret.

I didn't think there would be much room for change - as far as the actual gameplay of Halo was concerned - but I really love the additions.

Thanks Bungie!

I too noticed the very Harsh Colors of the headings. Dark Purple, and Deep Blue. It was only temporary though...

....spongy, bungie, who cares? I got mine!

I'm majorly let down.

How could you change the rating system!?

  • 08.01.2008 5:51 PM PDT

ohai thar.

When do we get an actual update to the game, and not the ranking system?
Why do you think we care about rank as much as you think we do?
We want an enjoyable game. While Halo 3 is fun, it's not perfect.

Shouldn't AU2 be trying to make it more so?

Pathetic update.
