Playing Halo

It means "Halo" the last level of Halo 3. If you play with 4 co op on that map at the ending with all the falling pieces you can find four ghosts to ride through the last part of the level. Youtube it.

Firstly, will we need to unlock all of the new achievements to keep katana armor?

Secondly, -blam!- you Bungie! The trip mine now sucks and it is -blam!- useless. Everyone loved beta trip mine because it was actually a good weapon and was fun to use. Now its useless in Halo 3! Also, no Blood Gulch means Halo 3 will never be as good as Halo 1 or Halo 2. The only good maps from Halo 3 DLC are Avalanche and Blackout. You should have made a remake of the maps people requested instead of making -blam!- new ones that people don't like to play!

Average player, doing average stuff.

I am going to have to call you out for being an idiot....
Youa re complaining about being banned for quiting...Thats ridiculous. I have never actually quit a game, I have been booted for betrayals a couple of times. (badly place gernades) but I have never quit.. It is simply unexceptable and I am glad that Bungie will be banning people like you.

BTW I dont know if you can complain about playing level 20 with level three becuase you are only a level 17 and the matchmaking system tries to keep it even as much as possible.. So if you have three level 3 then the other team will have three low level players. But i Have personally never played with our against someone that had a greater then 4 level difference then mine..

Mind your own stats. Keep out of mine.

Since you only posted a third of my argument and discussed only half of what you posted, lets just talk about that. If you have had bad experiences with truskill like I have, would you be happy?

No you dont need the achievements! You still keep the Katana! God its getting annoying.

Beta tripmine was in the beta, lets just let it die there. If bungie doesnt want a stronger tripmine, well I guess we will never see a stronger tripmine.

I currently am working on Halo Wars achievements. 4 to go.
I currently am working on Halo 2 achievements.
I currently have all Halo 3 achievements.
I currently have all Halo 3:ODST achievements.
I currently have all Halo: Reach achievements.

My only issuse about this is the "quitting" thing. We have other things in our lives than just Halo, or sometimes we wanna play with our friends in forge or something, or we have to do something far more important outside the game. :(

You keep your Katana if you have it, but if you don't, you'll probably need to get the new ones too...

Wonder if the new menu has new music (more fast paced) and new background. The beta had a cool theme.

Because of my VioP service, i constantly get kicked off of xbox live, in custom, campaign, and machmaking games. its because the stupid thing has to be put before the router, causing problems. i know you wont ban people because of this, but i just want to say punishing them isnt really fair either. for the past two months (since my parents got the damn thing) i have been able to finish barely any games, have gotten so rusty, and cant even voice chat with my friends before getting kicked every 15mins or so. i think im being punished enough already.
(if anyone thinks they have a solution to this, please pm me)

!! This is going to be so awesome. I would say that some of the achievements seem incredibly easy though. I wish they were all real tough.
New skulls? It seems to me as if multiplayer maps are going to include skulls. Great idea but Custom Games only?
And I really hope that the hype about another foundry style outside forge map is true!
And that all those skulls represent a new map. I wouldn't mind a halo disc just for all the maps - like the halo 2 maptacular disc.
Punishing quitters seems like a good idea. Maybe add more wait to people who quit Team Doubles as apposed to say Big Team?

New maps FTW. New achievements FTW. New forge map FTW. Matchmaking system changes FTW. Great updates FTW. Ban quitters FTW. Great work Bungie!!

Get a new router. Have you tired unpluging it and your modem waiting 2 minutes then plugging it back it?

oh, ive tried everything like that, unpluging and all. and, i have a linksys wireless n gaming router, it works just fine, its just that the internet phone company needs their router to go before ours (basically right after the cable converter), and for some reason, every 15mins or so, it kicks me off live. and its horrible.

with new achievements coming, does that mean that the people who unlocked the katana or security helmet will lose it untill they get the rest of the achievements again??
