Love the pictures bungie!, I can't wait for the map release. Excellent choice of environments, I love the ship in the distance. Hopefully this will stop the whining of those looking for a remake of Midship... this look awesome and I see great game play on this map - although it's different that's what I really want - something fresh instead of a remake. Just please get the weapon placement right... but you seem to balance it out pretty well.

ps;
Lukems ' I lol'ed in the podcast at the joke about making the re generators on Isolation spawn faster. But!, on a serious note - please do something about this issue because fate know it - i experienced the furry of Chuck Norris ( yes chuck Norris*** - his gamertagg along with his friend).

This guy had a re generator upon spawn over and over for a whole game of doubles... Both players would just camp in their regens and br us. We almost won! The only real way to kill them was to get up close and personal but they controlled the rockets. Gernades + br wouldn't kill them? The only way to kill was to melee fight, throw the smack down... but you can't hurt Chuck Norris can you?

I could see the use of this, in a capture the flagg game - but not slayer.

Anyways keep up the awesome job - I'm interested in seeing how you change matchmaking.

*** = 3 random numbers.

"When we know we'll let you know. We promise."

Is it just me or do Bungie promises mean a lot less than they used to. Following the pattern of the last major promise (E3) we shouldn't ever expect to play this map.


But that wasn't Bungie's fault... or so we've been told, anyway.

Blame Microsoft.

My H3 File Share for all your guilty pleasures...
My favorite professional Halo team ever: Final Boss

Bumper Jumper, 3 sensitivity, no vibration (H:CE & H2 are Boxer)
Halo 2 being my favorite Halo game to date
Halo fan since 2003

Hmm this looks decent. Off course, the details and the shiny walls are really beautiful just like Avalanche's Mancannons, but that doesn't mean this map has a great gameplay/feel to it. Don't start flaming me, I'm just saying that I rather wait instead of being all hyped about it.

The last weeks update is still a bummer for me, but I pretty much calmed down lol (still I disagree with the playlist changes). I couldn't care less about the AI bots, but thats just me. I still have some hope for the major changes H3 is going to have on the 16th of September (I hope: fixing the bullet registrations/double reloading glitch/random hits of BR/having more forge options/having more costum options) so I'll just wait and see (probarly download lol).

Anyway, I'm glad we're getting another Covenant map and Assembly looks like a fusion of Midship and Gemini (original idea huh?). Can't wait to have more info about the AU2, playlist update and the upcoming map pack. Bring on the UPDATES!

Woah, Assembly looks rather creepy, all those weird structures in the background.

Looking forwards to it!

It's funny.... this update has probably the LEAST amount of information in it, and yet, new map screenshots make everyone gush.

Hey Luke, I think you just found a way to keep the natives happy.


Every heard of "A picture is worh 1000 words?"
Not to mention, every other update, people demanded map information.

  • 08.30.2008 7:38 AM PDT

Thanks for the pics! Can't wait to see that map in person. Well maybe not in person but on my system.. haha.

Looks like its going to be great!


  • 08.30.2008 7:51 AM PDT

As for the two words Robz.... Beaver Creek sounds much better.

Ha. Funny [/sarcasm]

You can't follow the pattern of ONE thing. It wasn't even them not delivering, it was Microsoft trying to show Bungie who's boss. That was almost completely Microsoft's fault, so why would you even mention that?

So that's why the number 7 is so important!!! I knew there was some sort of signifigance to it, but I didn't know it meant the Bungie 7. Assembly also looks cool. It reminds me of those Covenant oriented maps of Halo 2. Can't wait to try em out!!!

That maps looks sick! Can't wait til it's released. Or if they just would happend to take a little extra trip to Malmö, Sweden and pay me a visit and maybe... I don't know... Maybe let me play it :D
Don't judge me. There's nothing wrong with hoping.

Good luck with the frisbee thingy, by the way.
