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.
Yes, its only Bungie and their demon spawn games that charge you for extra achievements. If you look at every game that has extra achievements, practically every one of them require a DLC pack that you have to purchase. Think (and fact check) before you speak.

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

None.

God damnit...

No remake, but maybe a deformed offspring formed by the union of Bungie, Blood Gulch, and alcohol?

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.


thats not true why would they continue to make new content if some of the dough wasn't reaching there pockets...use your head a lil

I am human, I am good and bad as well. But I try my hardest to stay good. And some of the things I do and say may be bad. Or just not too good, but I do try.

So with that said I don't fault you. I mean your only human, good or bad.

will this mean i cant keep my security:(

Get WorkPLaced!!

Bungie has had the best achievements in my opinion than most other games, some easy and some a little tough, these new ones are no exception and I can't wait to play them.

I'm also really happy you can get them in social.

I sincerely hope when you said there was no chance of a Blood Gulch remake that you were being sarcastic...

If lockout deserved a true-blue remake, then so does the greatest Halo map of all time...

  • 09.05.2008 10:57 PM PDT

omg no blood gulch bungie I h8 u!

Nice update to bad the new achieveables aren't worth points, so Do you need these to unlock the amour too or only the original 49?

  • 09.05.2008 11:13 PM PDT

Ugh. Why another failure of a Halo 3 Ranking system?
I'm personally done with Halo 3, the constant resetting of ranks and level changes are getting on my nerves. Great game Bungie, but to much.

I do use my head. I do believe that Bungie has repeatedly stated that they do not have anything to do with the price of the downloaded content. They continue to make content because unlike most game developers out there, they actually care about their fan base and not just their sales. I can't prove it, but I honestly believe that Bungie doesn't receive a single penny from the use of MS points to get their new content. If that were the case then the Heroic maps and Cold Storage wouldn't be free. That wouldn't be good business. If there were the case then everyone who payed for the Heroic maps would demand a refund. Its MS that you should complain to not Bungie.

For those complaining about the Quitting Punishment just STOP!
they are just talking about those players that quit EVERY SINGLE TIME to just become a booster.
If you just quit once or from time to time because you have to go away or just hate the playlist that is fine.
they are JUST looking for those who quit Soooo many times that it looks obvious that they are trying to boost.
so for all those who complained about the new punishment about quitting. Just Read

my question is for thouse that worked hard to compleat all the achievements and is now careing the katana sword. will we loose that right. i belive it would be unfair for the select one that have the sword now. please say we can recive something else and not lose my sword.

  • 09.05.2008 11:41 PM PDT

FileShare

Kickass!

New achievements yay! Thanks for updating the playlists. It's going to prevent a captain from being matched with a general because they have the same skill level, right? Can't wait until I get my xbox back!

Oh what if the power goes out when playing in matchmaking? Will you still get warned or something?

Can I ask a question? This has been bothering me for awhile. This is more of a "in general" question regarding an observation.

Why do you CONSTANTLY show the Superintendent?

We know whatever you guys are working on isn't dead obviously, but you constantly feel the need to show pictures of the Super and walk around with the shirts on and all that mumbo jumbo. I also notice that sometimes you photoshop the Super in pictures after E3. I understand before E3, but after E3 still now makes no sense to me. Now you show us a huge picture of some golfing invitational with the super on it. It is a clever design, don't get me wrong. Obviously the new project or whatever is going on with Halo 3 that we all don't know about yet will make sense of it all. Yet since we won't know until probably the NEXT E3, I don't see a need in showing us something we have been teased with for the past couple months AS FREQUENTLY as you do.

Maybe the reason for the photoshopping and the golfing invite design and the new constant "sightings!!!" of the Super is just as an inside joke with all of you guys since we won't know until you can tell us about it. All I ask is maybe for an understanding of why you constantly show the darn thing around when we won't have any clue what the thing is exactly yet. We don't even know if it will be involved in the game or Halo 3 update thing, or if it was to only prepare us for the E3 announcement.

As a Bungie fan of many years, I always await the weekly updates. The past couple months have been annoying with the constant Super sightings and I am sure that you can explain the reason for the frequency of the "sightings" without spoiling away any classified information. Maybe if myself and the others that are annoyed, could get some understanding on this issue, then we will be perfectly content to see the stupid thing with a plunger floating around on the pages of Bungie.net.

Thank you and I hope to hear a reply in the near future!

Just out of curiosity...

I have a shoddy internet connection that can click on and off. Because of this I wind up getting booted from game sometimes. Does this go against my quit record? If it does I'll just stop playing Halo until...I dunno...I move and get better internet so I don't get banned heh.

I don't play very often anymore anyways so it isn't a big deal I was mostly just curious.

  • 09.06.2008 12:55 AM PDT

what i'm more concerned with is the fact i'm finally 1 skill point away from lieutentant with over 160 exp (gunnery sgt grade 3) and after more than a month of killing and busting butt.. trying to save teams who refuse to play as a team.. i'm now being .. "reset".. grr.

  • 09.06.2008 1:05 AM PDT

So there are actually new achievements? That's cool.

I'm concerned about the part on quitters, when I first started playing I didn't have the best connection and kept getting cut off (AOL doesn't work very well if you're not from America), but that's just about sorted now.

  • 09.06.2008 1:10 AM PDT

Heeeeeey!- Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzerelly? Fonzerli? some italian name..

Will we get more armor to earn with the new achievements?
