Through a circus eye, I saw everything

Lukems Writes

"There will be no insertion of Campaign objects, enemies or friendlies via the Forge as folks have speculated. There will be no “bots” added to the game. The “set” on Rat’s Nest was designed to appear like a backlot of a film set, a holding area, not some depiction of a brand-new feature that implements Campaign objects into multiplayer. Do consider this issue a closed one. Calm yourselves down, pump the brakes, and take a breath. "


Now, why isn't there anything in here saying they're not implementing a tile-based Map-Maker (that they show at the end of the Edge Awards clip)? Hmmm....

Love it .....Hate it........one of the best friday updates in a long time....thanx guys

Okay, while squad battle looks interesting since RBTB has such mad lag sometimes, what the heck are you thinking getting rid of SBTB? I hope that "focused on DLC" doesn't mean we won't be seeing sandtrap and valhalla in 8v8 matchmaking anymore, because that would be the absolute most garbage idiotic call I have ever seen you guys make. I honestly would not play the playlist until you put them in..... ever.

Way to screw up matchmaking Shishika, especially LW and the Removal of SBTB

  • 08.22.2008 9:07 PM PDT

I do it for Ada

I have returned

Yeah I didn't play Halo 3 much before, but Since BTB is gone I don't have any reason to play it ever again. So Goodbye until your next project bungie.

I'm liking these changes.

Good luck to Bungie at PAX and anyone who gets into a 2v2.

Those are some great playlist changes. Epitaph and Snowbound are some of which I'm pleased to see improvements being made on. Quite a bit of us have wanted a Magnum as secondary weapon for slayer, so I'm glad there was that adjustment as well. I'm kind of sad to see Head to Head being dropped but that's okay, I never really had much of a chance to play it. Needless to say, the changes that will be made for matchmaking are superb. I couldn't have asked for any better.

Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

I guess I dont really care, since I have legendary, but bungie, you're forcing people to buy the map pack! I think that seems like a scam. sniff- poor rocket race :*(

Finally! Out with shield door hoarders and sniper nest campers, and in with the DLC FFA and Ranked Squad Battle. Can't wait!

wtf???? is there still gonna be MLG or did they take that out to if so i will be very dissapointed that was the only gametype that teams could go into and not have to worry about playing with noobs or anything but if that isnt the case would it be to much to ask if we could possibly see a social MLG gametype as well as ranked

  • 08.22.2008 9:38 PM PDT

great update, glad to have some clarity.

really looking forward to the playlist update, sounds like some good changes if you ask me.

and once again, pax sounds awesome... but it is also still on the other side of the country.

Head to Head is gone?....sadface. Squad Battle!?!? Sounds like a plan!!!

  • 08.22.2008 9:58 PM PDT

I really thought that they'd throw in ally and enemies into multiplayer to be able to be spawned, but i guess not. That was the reason why i brought halo 3 again cause i thought something like spawnable NPC's would be heading to Forge, but i guess they'll leave that to the modders on the pc version. Some stupid revamped map for us i guess. Great and how many points will that cost us to just get bored of the map.

"Fatty is your daddy."

**************** awesome ****************

Are you guys out of your minds? Rocket Race was the only playlist I would play and now it is in Multi-Team with a low weighting. EPIC SAAAD FAAACE

The only thing I dont like is that the DLC is one playlist now. I play DLC objective all the time, slayer not so much.
