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?


because there can be :)

Yes! The achievements are going to be great... but most of my excitement was killed by the "None" chance of a Blood Gulch remake... WHY???????

Yeah, does that mean we will need to get the new achievements in order to get the katana if we haven't already gotten it and also, why can the spartan laser get a achievement. It seems so unfair that laser kills can't get you medals a laser spree. For example, swords, shotguns and snipers have sprees, so why can't the laser get something like Laser Show Spree?

Probably because the remake is known as valhalla

It would be known as lasernater or shoop da woop :P
and besides, 1 laser only gets you 5 kills unless you get 2 for 1's so a frenzy with it would be really hard unless you get 5 kills, then hide for 3 mins then get another 5

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

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 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.

yes your 100% right about we should blame ms and not bungie im jus sayin...bungie does get some or half the cash from it or they would be out of work how would they support there familys

They make enough off the games to begin with. They don't make any more from the points used. Bungie would give us the maps for free if MS let them.

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?

[Edited on 09.05.2008 8:25 PM PDT]


You right I only post a thrid of your rant. Becuase it was the only part I was want to discuss. BTW I never said my own stats are much better then yours. Except my rank is signifactly (read almost double) your rank and I have a similar win ratio.

Lets face it if we were to play I would pretty much own you...and you cant handle that so you would quit and then hopefully via the new and IMPROVED banhammer you would be banned. Then I hope Bungie brings the Whambulance back so I can hear you whine to get un banned.

It should go somehting like thism "(sniff sniff) I got banned and need unbanned, (sniff) I dont know why, I mean I was getting destroyed so it wasnt fun so I, I, I QUIT!!!!(waaaaa) (sniff) please unban me. I only quit when I am getting beat not when I am winning."

  • 09.06.2008 12:49 PM PDT

so.. for security would i only need 1000 gamer points? or would i need all the achievements. and to answer everyone's question, no, i highly doubt that there would be new armor. its to hard to do that. and they might make some glitch while doing that. then the glitch will be used as an exploit, and cause massive dammage. like bxr

  • 09.06.2008 12:49 PM PDT

I've got some death to do

I am suprised at you Bungie no chance of a Blood Gulch remake (disapointing). In my opinion it is a map that made Halo, Halo, I hope you have at least considered it because all maps that currently make their home in Halo 3 , are good but not great I (I also speak for my friends and maybe more people in the halo univerese) enjoy Last Resort due to the fact that it is a very well done classic, it's very tasty for the eyes you made this map.. sorry i have to goo ill edit l8r

I like the idea. Maybe someones achievements to kill 1000 assasins, or headshots. Something more hardcore.

Appologies if this has been pointed out before(I don't feel like reading 20+pages), but i feel a need to say this.
To everyone complaining about Bungie looking into quitters, calm the F down.
People quit all the time, everyone does it, its part of the game.
Bungie does'nt care about that, what their looking at is fools that quit every game they play just to get their rank down. When you see an apprentice with high lvl of 48, thats who their talking about.

Maybe they don't want to remake BG because its one of the only things that stop people selling their copies of H2?
