GT: Blue Beta
"Humans were built for war"-Solid Snake


a cyber punk thriller: "Hell" I heard pretty good things about hell. It was in the bible and -blam!-, so it must be pretty good. -blam!- crazy. Its like "Shadow Run" without the run. Cept Its just like: "Get -blam!-" Cause your in hell. I mean, its not that much fun down there. A lot of pineapples... Sucks ass actually

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

Good Update
Looking forward to the achievements, but honestly I was hoping for a more campaign based achievement pack. I think achievements like: "kill all the phantoms in campaign", "have 4 fuel rod gun marines in one warthog", or "Teamkill every marine in Crowsnest" would be fun challenges.
Also I absolutely hate all the VIdmaster Challenge achievements.
-No gamerscore
-What if you don't have a great internet connection and/or you don't know how to get four ghosts. How are you supposed to get that achievement.
-And the 7th of the month thing is really unfair, doesn't that mean that good players will have to lower their exp in a play list to get it.
The Banhammer sounds great, good to know Bungie is cracking down on those who chose to ruin the experience for others.
Also can't wait for the new map(s?), though dissapointed there will never be a Blood Gulch Remake.

Ok, say I already got a flag kill on a legendary map during a ranked or social game. Will the 50 gamerscore be automatically acheived on my account as soon as the update is complete, or will I have to do it again?

How about you get rid of stupid gametypes such as Territories and Land Grab and I'll quit a lot less. I don't care what the penalty is, every time I see I'm gonna have to play this garbage gametype, I can promise my team will be down 3 people (me and the other 2 regulars I play with ALWAYS quit when either game comes up).

and nice job still trying to nickle and dime people for more money by making most new achievements and popular game playlist such as Team Doubles (soon) and SWAT require people to buy all the maps. Real nice and underhanded of you.

Someone needs to replace the whambulance with the BS police.

*falls to his knees* my baby is back! *nussles his magnum*

*sigh* more achievments is like more pokemon, it loses its meaning and value and is meant for those who are die hard fans and the few who just like achievments, and I do love to get achievments but like pokemon i stoped collecting from one source after the original set...

not to mention it descriminates against those who do not have the new maps :/ all in all im not going to try for these just feels like a cheap move to bring some of the lost players back (no offense bungie)

Halo dont feel like halo anymore as is and more achievements just makes me feel worse. I love halo but I hate to see this happen. but good update none the less.

they should of added a matchmaking for custom games to make them easier to find, because it's annoying finding them in friends a recent players!!...... it would be awesome

  • 09.05.2008 9:38 PM PDT

there are 2 facts you should know..... 1. there is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. 2. no one dies a virgin because life screws us all

well i am happy that with the new achievements that YOU DO NOT!!1 have to get your katana and security helmet over again. with that being said, i support these up coming updates, i look forward to a new challenge to entertain myself with bungie nice job and thanks.

p.s thanks again for makng it so that we do not have to get our katanas and security helmets over again

  • 09.05.2008 9:39 PM PDT

To make this even more awesome. All current and future DLC should be free.

  • 09.05.2008 9:42 PM PDT

IMA MK A DURKA A HUR A HUR

well i was just wondering, with these new achievements, what will we be unlocking other than gamserscore? I mean, sure gamerscore is cool and all but what about some new armor or something?

Just to let you know, Bungie doesn't make any money off of the points used to get the content. Microsoft gets all that, and it is Microsoft that sets the price.

How about new in - game halo 3 medals? Even if they were Bungie.net only it would still be an improvement. - IDK "sticky spree" "killed general" "team killing spree" (LOL) "n00b combo" oh and defiantly a "no scope" medal.

  • 09.05.2008 9:51 PM PDT

--*whispered*"Hold still I'm Going to Assassinate You"(the funny thing is that it has worked)--
↨↨↨Im the TedyBearOfDeath you should be scared.↨↨↨

Dude just to let you know bungie has told us twice that there will never be any new armour of any type because it is to complicated to add. Yes I know it doesnt seem like it would be that complicated but if you really think about it, it is.

  • 09.05.2008 9:52 PM PDT

Halo 3 is erm...Worse...Halo 2 really made the cut, NOW THEN! where the hell is halo 4?!

Duardo is pressing : Any chance of a Blood Gulch remake?

None.

God damnit...

Will there be anything special like the katana or marathon helmet when you get all the new achievements??

  • 09.05.2008 9:54 PM PDT

I do like in-game awards for doing things. Like "achievements" "medals" and unlocking "armour". A good improvement would be adding more "armour" or other awards for doing things. Preferrably awards that you can show off.
