I once cooked the Master Chief a fried breakfast...

I'm sure a lot of time and thought went into the playlist update but I can't see how taking away loads of fun, played playlists is a good idea. Disappointed.

I'm excited about the update, but I'm curious whether Epilogue, Sandtarp, and Boundless will appear in heatmaps as part of their original forms or if they will apear seperately allowing users the opportunity to see how there gaming experince has changed do the modifications.

We'll I am sad to see BTB go... But I can't wait to finally get some 8v8 avalanche action in MatchMaking for once! Also Squad Battles sound sick!

Lots of cool stuff again, team!
I bought the Unofficial Xbox360 Magazine this week, simply because on the front cover was "Halo 4, It's Real!!", and the article talked about the idea of a prequel to Halo 1, playing as a marine of group of marines? Hmm...

And as for the playlist update, Very good updates there, I still think you should enable the ability of putting an Elephant on Avalance, being a vehicle map, It should have one?

Anyway, cool stuff Bungie!

Cool update.

Everythings good except for the loss of the big team battles.
But at least there are new things to replace it which sound even better.
Im excited about the new versions of existing maps and even more excited about the new maps coming out (cant wait).
Also, the change to lone wolves is a massive improvement.

I am really envious of all the people who can make it to the PAX expo and meet bungie & friends because it sounds really cool - all those prizes, competitions and goodies *sigh*.

I cant go there because I live in England and obviously cant get there.
If only there was a way that Bungie could come to me and shower me in Bungie goodness.

That would be the best day ever.
- remember your loyal English fans Bungie! (and anyone else who cant make it)

"deep breath"........... damn........... lol but nice update coming cant what till no shield snowbound and epitaph

  • 08.23.2008 9:51 AM PDT

People assume I'm a bad person. It's not true. I have the heart of a young boy...

I keep it in a jar on my desk

Thank God for informative update.

RBTB is gone, so is SBTB? Well thank -blam!- for that! It was just a massive lag-fest. What's the point?

Squad battle sounds interesting, although I don't know what the odds of it getting more play than BTB are. The shieldless maps also sound nice, altho I don't know how much of an effect that's likely to have on numbers of vetoes for Snowbound.

But, what the hell is a spawn hive?
