Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

I'll tell you what... this is a great update.

Very informative Luke. Somewhat playful and still precise. Exactly what news SHOULD be. Thank you!!!

How come everyone hates this Walshy guy? How did you embarrass him?

Why is Bungie doing a golf event??

F!!! I can't believe there won't be a BC/coag remake... that is Bullish! Someone better start remaking that thing in Forge.... OH wait, damn.

Achievements great. multiplayer neat. I am probably one of the few Halo players whom doesn't have Live. Unfortunately, each weekly update is not thrilling since the topic is all about online play. I am more interested in the expanded Halo universe. Specifically, when is the new book being released? I have read all 5 of the others book several times each. I really enjoy them, and it most definitely passes the time in Iraq. I have never read sci-fi books until Halo. Thanks for creating a believable universe in Halo.

Change is hard. Not everyone will get used to the changes. I, however will try to adapt to them.

No more Colonel :(

  • 09.06.2008 7:41 AM PDT

Just remember... I keep it real...

Nice update. Judging by the shirt I am assuming Bungie will hold its own small press conference to show what else has been going on in Bungie towers.

hello i am nobel six lololololololol

"The enemy came. He was beaten. I am tired. Goodnight."

"I think Reach is a pretty cool guy. eh drives froklifts and doesn't afraid of anything."

Achievements for the Legendary Maps only, no Blood Gulch remake, AND no beta Tripmine... it sucks. Just another reason to stop playing Halo 3, but I know that will never happen.

The Achievements are too linear (I mean, really, how are two double kills in a match on a Legendary map more special than on any other map?), and obviously just another way to make us get those maps... I guess I could just get the maps, but with my luck, as soon as I do that, the maps will become free...

I just can't get over how people think Valhalla is a replacement for Blood Gulch...

But at least the playlist rankings are gonna get better, getting more in-depth, but that still doesn't satisfy my burning hate of "FalseSkill".

Posted by: Weekly Update:
As we said last week, there is currently no release plan for Assembly. When we know, we’ll let you guys know. Notice how this summer we haven’t done too much tantalizing or teasing or talking about anything we’re working on? It certainly wouldn’t seem too fair to do too much of that when we don’t know how or when things will eventually surface. Moonbase Alpha hasn’t gone anywhere.


That's funny, I could have sworn you tantalized, teased, and talked a few weeks ago around E3, then got shut down by "big brother" Microsoft.

I guess that doesn't count though. Oh well, keep it clean :P

Edit: And for everyone who is up in arms about the "no blood gulch thing" - again, a case of short memories on these boards.

In a weekly update for Halo 2, Bungie flat out said that Hang Em High DID NOT work in Halo 2 and would NEVER be remade for it.

A year or so later, we had Tombstone.

Totally sounds awesome. Whatever happens, it sounds like one something to jumpstart our tiring population.

  • 09.06.2008 8:15 AM PDT

if they had impalas with mack-10s in halo
you could drive by and get a 50 in like an hour
you can laser the impala.but the shiny-ass chrome grill gonna send that laser back
che-yu-pc

last week assembly screens this week achievement updates? i think with the reveal fallout bungie feels they have to give us things instead of teasing us. well....awesome!

Any chance on Bungie favs being updated soon?

  • 09.06.2008 8:27 AM PDT

Since there is new achievements, reset EXP and Ranks, are people going to lose their armor?

Post those Recon winners, how are we going to Friend Request spam them then?

No Blood Gulch remake! D:

A quitting ban? Seems risky. But I'd be fine with a "You quit early, you can't play in (playlist person quit from) for 24 hours." Thats seems fair.

Problem with the new achievements, some are a early stages only, doesn't seem fair to punish someone if they surpass such a requirement.

Congratz on being the first 360 game with 0 point achievements, and the first to give new achievements for no extra cost over Xbox Live!

Long live Rocket Race!

Bungie Invitational! Why not Bungie's Super Awesome Public Convention? Everyone needs to see the announcements! If you're going to keep it invite only, make sure there is some sort of live feed coming out of their.

Prophet94

First for the people who dont have the katana will they have to get all of the new achivements

or will they just have to get the old ones? Second will there be more achivements that are

going to be released further down the road? And last but not least is there going to be some

special reward for those people who get all of the achivements New and Old?

  • 09.06.2008 8:45 AM PDT

If you look at this stuff....go to a park or something else active

What the heck is this invitational? Never heard of it before some guy a post ior two behind said something about it.

Nice update, but what makes a game great is the maps you play on. There *needs* to be more classic maps like the ones from H1 and H2. And the new achievements? That indeed is a strange business.

Remake Headlong or some other classic maps that we all loved!

EDIT: You only have to get all the original achievements for the Katana.

to everyone getting confused about the ghost achievement it is not impossible.

if you play halo on legendary there are ghosts that you can get and ride to the end after you kill guilty spark.

  • 09.06.2008 8:52 AM PDT

Without ME it is only AWESO.

No Blood Gulch, no Beta Tripmine, nothing but new achievements, updates, and maps.

Stupid update IMO.

thats ridiculous. the tripmine is a piece of -blam!- and theres no reason for it to be in MM.

actually, stepping on a piece of -blam!- would undoubtedly have more of an affect on MC than the tripmine. how bout a new 'POS Equipment Pod'?

Sweet, not that I need another reason to keep playing Halo3, but this makes it all the better.

  • 09.06.2008 9:14 AM PDT

Wait.... what if you have all the achievments already but the new achievments go live and you have the katana and security head?

  • 09.06.2008 9:16 AM PDT

Halo: Reach

So what's with the everyone in ghosts bit?
Do you have to stay in them the entire time?

  • 09.06.2008 9:19 AM PDT
