So will the new achievements mean I loose my katana/security helmet? I've got the legendary map pack so i guess I'm going achievement hunting if it does!

EDIT: Then again this gives me something to do :)

Reach!

I'm glad to hear about the new achievements.... I still haven't gotten that damn stepin razzor achievement..

Too bad tor Joe... always sucks to have your foot in your mouth. I don't care about the trip mine, do what ever it takes to own the world...

No chance for a Blood Gulch remake.... not only a disapointment, Blood Gulch is Legendary It should be reborn... For any one who was loyal enough to buy Halo PC just to play online.

The most played Halo CE map ever.... Hands down!!

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.



Obviously you have never played Guitar Hero 3. They have quite a few Achievements worth 0 points. What's the point of collecting them if they're worth nothing?

Ok so first you guys destroy the file sharing system, and then you decided in your last update that you would destroy the MM playlist opting for more “Squad base playlists” what ever that means. And now your basically your saying is we don’t care how hard people have worked for there exp were going to make it null and void. And you didn’t mention in social matches will are rank that most of us have legitimately earned show up? Or will it be discarded as well?

The only reason you guys are changing these things is to, once again cater to the competitive community and cast the regular Halo player aside. Why else would you want a More “Squad based” Playlist? Oh but your taking the shield doors out of snowbound. Pfft like that’s what was wrong with that map. And destroying Sandtrap by making Sand Tarp Nothings wrong with Sand trap. So what if ppl drive the elephants to one side. Its call strategy. Of cores that don’t matter anymore because you are retiring big team social so will never see sand trap again. Just sand fart LOL.

Why do something so stupid. In its place you give us DLC requirement social? Well we will see how that works hopefully you don’t remove or Change Valhalla.
Oh here’s a great idea why don’t you redo Valhalla and turn the man cannons off. Because that isn’t what made it unique you know like the two elephants on sand trap. What you’re planning to do with sand trap caters to the MLG competitive crowd.
And you give little or no consideration to the rest of us.

Look you can’t make every playlist and every map as MLG as possible? And that’s what you guys have been doing for almost 10 months. Why do you feel the need to discard the regular halo player for the MLG type? The regular players are the ones that built the Halo franchise. And you have hardly given us anything in return and have been slowly pushing us aside. Or you guys so afraid of Gears of War 2 that you have to sacrifice the ppl that made Bungie what it is.

Oh wait you giving us new achievements. Yea that don’t unlock anything!


Oh and lets not forget if your power goes out or you connection lags you out of a game you get penalized and could be banned, or punished in some way
Way to care about the community Bungie.

TU2 will be released later I presume?

Will completing those achievements unlock anything? I'd love to see something new, because seriously, I'm getting pissed that everyone shows off their katana thinking it's so cool.

Vidmaster Challenge: 7 on 7 - Does that mean that we can only have 7 EXP? Or does that mean our EXP has to have the number 7 in it?

  • 09.06.2008 10:29 AM PDT

I have one ? to lukems and Bungie. When Bungie said that my Exp will go to 0 when TU2 starts, does that mean my exp right now 1952 will be gone. To be a Brigadier, Grade 3 you need 2000 exp and I am so close to be one. My goal in Halo 3 is to be a Brigadier, General! I work so hard to have a good record in all my games in Matchmaking. So please don't have my exp just erased it self because of TU2 with all my time I played Halo 3. I WILL BE SO MAD AT BUNGIE IF YOU DO THIS.


P.S. PLEASE EXPLAIN.

To be a Brigadier, Grade 3 you need 2000 exp and I am so close to be one. I work so hard to have a good record in all my games in Matchmaking. I've been playing 2353 games and won 1932 because of Double Exp. That means I lost 421 games in Halo 3. So please don't have my exp just erased it self because of TU2 with all my time I played Halo 3. I WILL BE SO MAD AT BUNGIE IF YOU DO THIS. BUT I BET YOU GUYS DON'T CARE FOR THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE HALO 3.


P.S. PLEASE EXPLAIN.


They said ranks are changing, to be a brig general in social slayer for eg you wont need as much exp as you do now because its not a collective thing. your overall rank will stay the same though. you'll just have to get it again unfortunately. :(

  • 09.06.2008 10:42 AM PDT

were it so easy...

first awesome update in a while.

wish you'd bring back beta trip mine, and i wouldn't have minded a remake of blood gulch, but at least you told it to us straight.

achievements look pretty cool. What's up with the ghost one?

and I can't wait to here more about this bungie invitational... I'm sure that much will be revealed then, and it's coming this year, so... YEA!

Lots of people seem pretty confused about the ghost campaign thing so I'll explain it now.
Basically, after defeating guilty sparks on legendary mode, as you enter the outdoor area where you fought off an army of flood, head left to the ramp you came up the get there, there's 4 ghosts underneath the ramp.

They are only there on legendary and if you start from the beginning of the level. NOT part way through.

If they didn't care about the players they wouldn't add updates. Big team is dying and the legendary map map isn't very popular so they're adding DLC big team to encourage people to get legendary and to make big team seem new and shiny

Achievements Unlocked
Well, thanks enough for confirming the new achievements existence. I am confused on how you state that by using the TU2 build at PAX that folks could browse thru the new achievements when the original story of them coming out sounded a lot like Bungie wanted to keep them a secret. Water under the bridge now I guess.

Title Update 2
This will be here soon enough and everyone is anxious, at least I know that I am.

Assemble
Congratulations to the twenty-seven teams that were victorious. PAX and the Bungie booth both were amazing. Even more amazing is the new DLC map Assembly. Assembly is dope and I loved being able to have the chance to play on it at the Bungie booth. Thank you to all of the Bungie Team that showed up and made it an unbeatable experience. Luke, thanks for turning down my button.

More Questions than Answers
Shame on me for not making Halo 3 based questions in the thread you had posted requesting questions on Friday. Thank you for the few questions answered though, maybe that will put some members at ease.

2008 Bungie Invitational
Where is the golf shindig going down?

Good update. I hope you will anaunce soon when the new map pack is available, and i hope you will make the lagendary map pack for FREE then !

For the guys who wants to have a Blood Gulch remake: we already have Valhalla, that is very simillar to blood gulch: two big bases, lakated in a gulch, most powerfull weapon in the middle and the a ability to move from the bases qiikly to the center of the map. so, why should there be two maps lwich are almost the same?
