Pwnin.

I think im going to be disappointed by this new playlist system...it seems as if its going to take away the purpose of the General Rank.

Im kinda sad about this.

But I like the new playlist updates, Objective Doubles Pwns.

The new AU2 system sounds like it will do great, on the other hand will generals show a recruit insignia or continue to show the General insignia?

  • 08.02.2008 1:35 PM PDT

I think the update is going to be a good thing. Instead of someone just being a level 50 overall, you can specialize in one or many different playlists. I also like the fact that they are using the halo 2 progress bar. That will just make things a whole lot easier instead of trying to guess when you are going to level up. I think we will just have to wait and see how it goes before everyone starts judging it.

EVERYONE STOP POSTING AND ACTUALLY READ IT!

The old ranking system WILL STILL BE IN EFFECT.

You will STILL need a 50 AND 600 Exp.

Your rank WILL NOT be reset or even touched.

The only thing is a new PLAYLIST RANKING!
So you are doing a mini-level up for EACH SINGLE PLAYLIST.

So it can match you up any better.

AND U -blam!- GENERALS STOP WHINING YOUR NOT HURT AT ALL IT DOESN'T MAKE ANYTHING EASIER.

YOU STILL CAN STRUT AROUND YOUR "GREATNESS!"

Gosh...

I think I realize now why many from MLG hate Bungie and all their idiot followers.

Ignoring that, will my actual rank (Colonel Grade 2) still be displayed in custom games?

epic fail.

Make noobs feel special about having a rank higher than cpt grade 3. Really though no mention of bullet refund?

BUNGIE FOCUS ON THE STUFF THAT MATTERS RATHER THAN THE INSIGNIFICANT BULL-blam!-. PLEASE!

Wow... the amount of complaining that comes from most people on this forum is staggering. You know what, I don't really mind what changes they make to Halo. I turn on my Xbox and start it up because I like playing Halo. Period.

so this is for the weekly update.

Q: So pretty much, if you downloaded modded screenshots, then you get banned? Or do you get banned by downloading and then renaming the shot?

  • 08.02.2008 2:58 PM PDT

No news about the next map pack?

  • 08.02.2008 3:23 PM PDT

Sweet, return of Living Dead! I always like to play Infection games in MM. Much easier than finding people to join custom matches on some days.

that living dead playlist sucks thats not the way zombie games are suppose to be played they suck period. (in reply to the guy asking about the new halo maps) BRING BACK Blood gulch
dont do anything to it, like you did blackout and made it crappy wide and much closer in. just graphic update it, dont do anything else. thats it. keep it the way it is. because that map is one of the single most greatest maps of all gaming history. just bring it back along with CLAN MATCH PLEASE

Oh excuse me sir, you must be higher authority...

I'm sorry I don't dedicate my life to video games and only video games so i guess I'm an "idiot" follower because I don't know anything.

And yes your original REAL rank will still show.

Remakes are so -blam!- dumb.
I hate -blam!- old maps I didn't get Halo 3 just to play Halo and H2 maps.
No matter how good they are.
Everyone complained about the maps when THEY were new.
Get used to new maps god.

How about this landmark improvement for AU3.
Either eliminate the Elite character model all together, or just change the hit boxes so you hit an elite in the ass when behind it for an instant kill. For SWAT, of course. To balance the game for once. That way, I don't have to play a match with seven elites and end up losing!
