Dang 2nd page. :O me!
Aw 3rd.. :D

No more rocket race - good it was fun for like a day...

no shield doors - actually seem to like the idea now! i used to always think they were fine but
snowbound was my most hated map for TD...

no elephants - haha its fun for custom games but im glad they took them out mainly for objectives because all people do is drive them next to each other...lame!

pit stop - spawning hives? i dont get it...explain?

lone wolves - love it or hate it i dont know yet...hopefully it works out better...like i REALLY hope =/

TD - love the updates!

no RBTB - good. no one played the rank too much mainly because it seems like a playlist for lots of guests. and no guests in ranked =[

no SBTB - i never played too much its always too laggy. but its the fun to do with lots of guests
=[

squad battle - eh seems pretty cool.

multi team - rocket race makes sense idk whatever dont really care hha

DLC FFA - hahah sounds fun i guess

DLC Big team - I guess so not as good as SBTB but whateva

team swat - love this update alot too! personally i think there should be no grenades. but im glad u can pick up carbines. should do that with sniper ASAP! with beam rifles

head to head - idk dont care

btw does "Title Update 2" mean AU2?

Yes they are synonymous


YES!! FINALLY A RELEASE DATE!!

Exactly what I said! I think I might create a countdown on my calendar til the 16th. That day will be epic!

I think those shield-less maps will make a friend of mine very happy. He always had a rough experience with those doors. :D

  • 08.22.2008 3:43 PM PDT

So there is no map editor right??? cus that would be amazing. squad battle sound cool will kinda replace social slayer when your party is to big for team deathmatch. sweet loving the changes to the playlists. bit unsure about no shield doors in snowbound kinda gave the map character and made it different, but i understand why cus it annoyed me to. but the map may seem plain. epitah bah i hate that map anyway. t-shirts look awesome. wish i live din us for that. just wondering the announcement must have been on a halo project otherwise microsoft wouldn't have been able to stop u announcing it??? because they own the ip dont they, but any new ip's u would own am i mistaken??

I just started a new clan called stealth image. If you would like to join contact me via XBL. Oh yea, one more thing. KE4P IT CL3EN

great update but...
you confirmed that there are no campaign character add ins. We would have much preffered you tell us about that room at the end of the edge acceptance video. And in an update a while ago you made these matchmaking changes seem HUGE. They really arent that big. Im excited to see purple reign but when is that getting released to the public?

  • 08.22.2008 3:44 PM PDT

p00nany!!!

WOOT playlist update FTW!!!!!

so with the extinction of social BTB does that mean valhalla and sandtrap will pretty much be outta social, or will DLC big team include those beloved maps?

I'm going to miss the Big Team Battles in Social and Ranked. At least you made up for it by adding Big Team Battle in DLC. I always wanted one there. I guess I can get used to the changes. Can Bungie hold an event like the Penny Arcade Expo in the East Coast? I would like to see their booth.

dlc is downloadable maps, and sandtrap and valhalla aren't downloadable, so i would say no

Well, it was a little disappointed of not having bots, Bungie should have expected the community to assume that having those bots in that video would have brought up that awesome dream. I'm curious to why they didn't address what that map place was at the end of the video, oh well. I'm glad there will be maps without shield doors, good way to test if that map will be better with or without them. If they can take away shield doors, couldn't they enable "Put your weapon down" in custom games?

Monday is a horrible way to spend 14.3 % of your life.

I'm not normally one to scream about Bungie's decisions, but come on! I'm pissed enough at them making a major gametype like team doubles dlc only, but I can at least see where they're coming from, but Big team battle!? Both of them!? I don't get it. I can sort of see the ranked one going away, since it never really was the best kind of game to play for rank, but Big Team Social was just a great way to play massive battles for mindless fun. I was hoping they'd boost the size of the games, not destroy the only big team game available for matchmaking. This won't destroy the fun of Halo 3 gaming, but it's put a serious dent in it. I don't mean to be a crazy forum poster, but for once these updates are affecting me like they seem to every yahoo on the internet. I realize that this has no real chance of making any difference, but I figured I should at least let my objection be heard.

(My Bad) I finally find something that gives me some forum rage, and it's unnecessary. While i will lament the loss of team doubles and the big teams, bungie has given us some cool new options. I also have the nagging feeling that as soon as the mythic map pack releases, the legendary pack will go free, and team doubles will reappear. Even if it doesn't, I guess I should apologize for my lack of faith. sorry bungie. looks pretty cool. keep up the good work.

(p.s.) i probably should delete the old text, but I figured i'd live with the shame of my mistake.

Removing the shield doors for matchmaking maps is a brilliant idea! This is one of the best updates we've gotten in a while. Maybe I'll be able to get one of those T-shirts on eBay after PAX...

I'm hugly dissapointed about the bots, but i guess you told us, So thanks anyway bungie.

  • 08.22.2008 3:47 PM PDT

Carbines will break swat.

It's ridiculous to think otherwise. MLG-wannabes will leave mlg playlist and swarm swat to prove how legit their headshot skills are

What dont you get, get rid of the two most popular playlists!? I know it was silly but bungies decision is final, we must get over it.

  • 08.22.2008 3:48 PM PDT

I don't want random messages (ie, Join my group, etc). I have begun blocking solicitations.

So Bungie made an awesome vid with cool features in it, they hyped up the community, and then blew them off by telling them those features aren't available.

Deja vu?
Bungie is know for being cryptic. Sometimes there are hidden messages, sometimes not. Its the fans that over analyze every last bit that over hyped themselves. Do note, the update mentioned nothing about that last part with room piece suspended in the blue, gridded plane.
