Halo's a hell of a drug.

Bungie should sell some belt buckles. I would like to see a Legendary Skull as well as a Marathon buckle. Just throwing that out there.

why did u do this?:-( i think u should keep social btb and heres why: btb social reveals the true carnage of halo. its a great way to show the wonderful experience that is halo 3. i have found nothing wrong with btb social and think it is THE BEST GAMETYPE IN GAMING HISTORY. if u do this i might not play halo sadly enough :-(. please reply if u can.

No BTB? What's the all time excuse for that? BTB Social is great on the weekend, gather a party of eight and blast the enemy with banshees, warthogs, turrets, and rockets. BTB social is basically why I play Halo. Come on, taking away BTB social is like taking away our freedom for a large amount of kills, or deaths.

Godservant, reporting for duty.

I mentioned before that we would have some new multiplayer content and today I can confirm what many of you have already surmised – “Purple Reign,” officially named “Assembly,” will be available to play.

Does it mean we can download it, or is it just available at the expo?

  • 08.23.2008 10:57 AM PDT

Get WorkPLaced!!

Wow, this is an example of a good update, full of info and making me smile.
I still can't fight you for recon, but I can have snowbound without those annoying shield doors, thanks guys.

Will you be making other variations of maps in the future?

I am so sad to hear that you are retiring Big Team Social! I love that Playlist!

Also, will any playlist be adding in Infection into the possible mix? I know that in October it will come back for sure, but I am wondering about the normal playlists?

Thanks!

i don't think bungie understands what they're doing by taking social big team away........they definitely lost a player here b/c btb was all i played and i loved it. definitely no kudos for bungie w/ this move

  • 08.23.2008 11:26 AM PDT

Time to put this one on the shelf to collect dust. I am very dissapointed in you Bungie guys..

Keep the updates coming if your goal is to thin out the Halo community.

  • 08.23.2008 11:41 AM PDT

I like what you did with the maps. Epilogue, Boundless, Sand Tarp, and Pit Stop sound great. I wish Rocket Race was kept though.

"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....



Because that's how sneaky and awesome Bungie is!

I would have preferred things like the sniper glitch to be worked on instead of redoing the same map without shield doors. Also, I don't know how many people have experienced this, but lately I have been getting the Shotty Snipers gametype far too frequently for my tastes. Over the past couple of days, my first three games have been Shotty Snipers, followed by Team Snipers. I realize that the Veto button should take care of this, but when only half of the people present vote against the gametype, it doesn't do much good. Now, don't get me wrong, I like playing Shotty Snipers and wouldn't want it removed from the playlist, but could you guys please focus some effort on toning it down a bit?

That said, I am excited about the new Assembly map. You guys have been talking about it for some time, and I can't wait to see it. I love Covenant-themed maps.

Just my two cents as a Halo 3 player.

Killer update, but it sucks that BTB and ranked BTB have to go but the new squad battle sound awfully awesome. And to that 2V2 thing for recon what is that all about.

  • 08.23.2008 12:33 PM PDT

I knew you were gonna read my sig.

Nice update. But September for AU2 seems forever. Oh well.
