Emphasis on "imo". Saying that Blood Gulch is the most popular map in the game is your opinion based off your views of the map. It was a good map that I enjoyed to play, but I think we have had enough remakes in Halo 3.

Also, think about it this way. If a new map is taken out for Blood Gulch, then you are stopping the possibility of another awesome, and popular map.

Brazilian_Rider asks: Do you guys plan on adding any new armor permutations as DLC?

Our current DLC plans do not include any armor permutations.


It has been stated MULTIPLE times that no new armor will be made. Why does everyone insist on asking the same answered question.

Just Another Grunt...

- You have the Recon armor, and it's in the game..but you won't give it to us. If that wasn't enough, you wave it in our faces for us to envy the gamers who get it. You've kept it to yourselves as a nearly-impossible thing to get in the game and there's constant "neener neener" instances I have to read in updates that just makes me disgusted about you. Yet at the same time I love you guys. What's wrong with that?

So they are not allowed to reward players who do interesting and/or funny things with their games? Whats the point of doing those things then?

- You somehow cared about other maps like Lock-Out and other maps from Halo 2 and Halo 1 to remake them into Halo 3 in HD goodness, yet, one of the other maps that everyone, and I mean, EVERYONE cares about, Blood Gulch, you flat out go "No we're not remaking it. Nope." Some love there.

Valhalla has the essense of Blood Gulch. Not the small hills, but the 2 bases in a box canyon kind of way.

- I don't think I need to talk about the quit-constantly-and-you-are-banned BS for all the reasons people said here. We all have lives other than playing Halo 3 online. Things happen. That's all I can say for that.

There is a difference between you quitting a game every few days because something came up, and what Bungie is investigating, which are 0 exp 500+ games and 250+ negatives people.

- What's the point of the achievements that give you 0 points? I as a gamer, don't give 2 craps about an achievement that gives me nothing if I'm going to do it. If I'm going to do a certain few achievements, I should expect something more out of my game for it. It also seems like a very "Avatar" thing to do to give someone 25G for simply getting a melee kill with a flag.

An achievement is an achevement, gamerscore does absolutey nothing for you anyway.

I just got into the Halo community...so...can someone PLEASE tell me what the hell this tripmine crap is? I must've completely missed out on that.

I'm also wondering because I know a lot of people are going "bring back the beta tripmine!" so...I'm lost. O_O

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

I just wanted to say, Thank you. It looks like there will be at least six more maps for Halo 3 and a good deal of achievements. I like the idea behind the new playlist rating setup. Thanks Bungie!

That would be super -blam!- cause noone would ever make it to 100 million kills or 100 million sticks or 100 million snipes

  • 09.07.2008 4:14 PM PDT

LC out

Nice update. Great to see some new achievements rolling out.

Does it mean that 1000 GP still get's a katana?

Perhaps, it'll drop the folks hey can you help me get achivement so and so in lone wolves.
Looking forward to the rollout.

I doubt that bungie would strip a katana and helmet from those who already earned it, but then again, who can predict what's going on inside their minds?

Anyway, my real question is this: For those of us who haven't yet unlocked all the previous achievements, would we then need to unlock these as well to get the benefits? (Marathon helmet & Katana)


I think you need the first 49 achievements, then the legendary only ones are extras.
kinda defeats the point of the whole "I've completed halo 100%" thing.
there needs to be a new helmet or complete set for getting new & old achievements
Or a security chest so that it becomes a full set instead of only the shoulders and helmet

They are only making a new exp system for the different games. That means you will keep your rank and exp, and be able to see it when your not in matchmaking and on your profile thing. But when your in the games, the rank for that game will show (and that starts at 0 when they release it). Hope that answered your questions.

I'm also a little confused about that. I looked it up a bit, and found out that the beta tripmine was the tripmine that people used in the Halo 3 Beta. It said that it made a bigger explosion, and could stick to vehicles (like plasma and spike grenades).
