"The debts of meat will live on in eternia." -lukems

wow, what a bunch of whiners. If the update were long you'd all complain that including the slideshows was way too much, or something along the lines of "wall of text" unless the whole thing was screenshots of a new game. It seems the stronger community members have taken leave from posting amongst the 12 year-olds at heart (no offense meant to preteens who act their age) every week.

nice update, I'm donloading the files now. Congratulations on GoTY. I think it was really earned this time around and not handed out on principle of being a Halo game.

Well, congrats at Gphoria, I made a post about it on my site which comes to my next topic:

I have been struggling trying to find a Bungie Staff member to talk to about my site Halo Nation and I was hoping a Bungie member would find it here maybe.

You see, we have been working really hard to make this site and we are seriously lacking in members, so I was wondering if we could be Affliated with Bungie or at least be in a pinned topic for a little while so we can get more members. Please message me by a PM here on the site or PM me on Halo Nation

We are making more updates to make the site generally cooler every day and are hoping for the best future possible.

The first thing we are going to get is a Domain name, so I am going to start a donations button to raise a bit of money on the side of me doing things here and there to earn it myself.

Thanks!

Interesting stuff I'm glad that they put more time in the game instead of power point presentations because a lot of miss-spellings bungie you got some work to do

Subject: SOMETHIING THAT DOESNT HAVE TO DO WITH THE Bungie Weekly Update: 8/...

YEAH WHAT ISNT AWSOME IS THAT YOU GUYS SAID THAT MODDED MAPS WERE OK AS LONG IF IT DIDNT AFFECT MATCHMAKING BUT ON FILE SHARES ITS TREATED LIKE A THREAT TO BUNGIE'S SECURITY

ME AND MY FRIEND WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS AND SOMEWHERE ON THE LINE WE THINK YOU MESSED UP ON YOUR RULES

PS IF HALO WARS IS GONNA HAVE MATCHMAKING THINK OF RULES THAT WONT BE CHANGED AND FORS PEOPLE TO GOT ON COD4 GOW OR GTA4

PPS SORRY FOR THIS BUT ITS TRUE! GOOD DAY SIRS

I ran a series of tests studying how much injury a dead body could handle. The results were fatal.

*sigh* I was expecting more.


Same here. But that is what happens when you expect something bigger. Most of the time you get let down. I guess that we should just quit expecting anything from them for a while.

Wow, an update completely about nothing important, thats a shocker!, NOT, every fricken update is about nothing good so far, quit telling something we already know, the majority of us know we will never have recon armor, hmmm wow that was not important.... where is the news on what we really want, the gameplay AU2, not the stupid ranking system, but the gameplay patches, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

Yay! More publications! I really enjoyed the flood one that was published earlier, and I will probably get to all the new ones soon.


I agree. I've only read through two of the previous ones but they were very intriguing. It would be MUCH better though if they came with the audio of the talks though!!

I was on halo pedia earlyer and moonbase might not be the final name. If it even happens.


Names like Purple Reign and Moonbase are never the final name.
Most of the time, maps have three names:
1. the development name
2. the Bungie outwardly facing code name (purple reign)
3. the Final Name (sometimes this is 1, but very rarely)

Very rarely = Ghost Town, if I recall correctly.

Thank you for the update Lukems.

I don't quite understand why people are so picky. You took the time out of your busy day to give us something, and at least it's interesting informormation.

Oh well, it's the internet no one's ever happy.

Congrats on the award.

Yeah all the upper level halo 3 players are going to have a mass exodus from the game. Seriously what is the point in the higher level players even trying now? We have to win 600 games to be a general so ultimately no one is ever going to be a general grade 4 in any playlist, ohhh wait you're going to say it will be in the their overall record? Well what’s the point in having that if people are just going to see your rank for the individual playlists; no one is going to care about your service record.

Honestly I don't see what the service record is for now? We might as well just have it there to record our skill value without any emblem. Everyone’s work for the past year has essentially been for nothing. I have no faith that this system will be better as it means that what I am rewarded with after playing the game for a year and trying to get Brigadier is totally reset where players are actually going to see the emblem and can only be seen in a my service record but yet I am going to be a recruit in every playlist and have to then go back and win 500 games within one playlist for people to see it again? Uhhh yeah screw that, I'd rather watch paint dry then do everything which took me a year to complete, again.

The update is for those who can't level up and anyone who says it isn't is completely retarded. You can't sit there and tell me how this update benefits the higher level players in halo. If someone can legitimately point out how this is going to benefit the work put in towards the game already compared to erasing it and allowing everyone to achieve that, then be my guest.

Is this not just a cosmetic introduction? I mean really at the end of the day it seems like your only doing this to let lesser players have a chance at feeling like they are good in the game. Whats the point of a skill system at all? Also if I am a 45 in swat and I get chucked back down to a recruit in the playlist, I am still going to be matched up with 45s so basically for higher level players we are getting the worst of both worlds, harder to win games and our rank is meaningless now.

What is the point in even recording skill now also? Skill doesn't mean anything now but who we are matched up against which in essence means that all the higher level players are screwed or have to start new accounts which means that MORE new accounts are going to be made.

Way to reward boosting games rather than hardwork ANDshow that the competitive community that is has essentially wasted it's time on achieveing ranks which don't signify anything anymore.

IF I WANTED TO GRIND MY WAY TO SOMETHING I COULD JUST PLAY WORLD OF WARCRAFT!!!!!! Seriously, you're just making it so you can grind your way to general, general on the service record is going to count for NOTHING! Are you guys trying to push away the better players to other games? I never in a million years thought that I would actually want to stop playing Halo. If these changes go ahead I'm done with wasting my time on a game that hasn't fixed anything. I also know that 90% of my friendslist on xbox live will also stop playing halo 3. I guess you guys just want Gears of War 2 to do really well.

The update is for those who can't level up and anyone who says it isn't is completely retarded. You can't sit there and tell me how this update benefits the higher level players in halo. If someone can legitimately point out how this is going to benefit the work put in towards the game already compared to erasing it and allowing everyone to achieve that, then be my guest.

P.S. I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT MY LEVEL,IE 45 OR 50 OR WHATEVER, I'M TALKING ABOUT MY SYMBOL!!!!!!

P.S.S. Sorry for the double post above, just extremely pissed and hit the wrong button.
