That's very good news Bungie! You guys rock! Hey something to think about. I've always thought of how you guys maybe able to make it possible for us players, to some how pay "Microsoft Points" or some type of credit to fix the penalties we receive when we leave games, connection problems ect... You guys think their could be a way we could clear that out. Means more money. lol. hope you guys can write back.

These achivements are really easy....lol....why not make a few more but more challanging because most people will probably get them all on the first day they come out and second will you lose katana and have to get these acheivements to get it back?

O.k so.... the new acheivments..i like them :-) i like the ideas to, especially the challenge ones.But the ranking system..oh dear.
I know you have a lot of retards on your case(moaning and swearing at you)...but i have a sensible reason for not liking it.
Because..i became a brigidier yesterday..and it was great..it took me a lot of time and skill to get there...but with this new system..anyone can do it..they just have to play a lot of games. What is the point in a ranking system that shows how many games people have played, not how good they are? If i read it correctly...you will go up for simply winning, meaning that even if you suck, you can play loads if games and still get to a general. Sorry, but i fail to see how this is a good idea.


Same here, i just got to Brigadier. But I think you win by doing good and gain EXP from that game. It's basically the ranking system we already have, just Skill is not tracked and every play list has its own "pocket" of exp. You can play all the games you want, but it takes skill to win, and I don't see how we wouldn't be matched up appropriately in matchmaking.

All an all, I'm going to enjoy the new Title Update.
Thank you Bungie.

Your Trueskill values will not be reset. If someone checks your Service Record they will still see your Highest Skill.

I agree. We probably won't get anything on fire, but I hope theres a special treat for all achievements unlocked.

Frankie, Weekly Update 1/11/08
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.

God made me this way...so I'm elite. Praise Jesus.

What about the new armor just for elites? When is that special armor coming out?

Why not fix the stupid Melee system?

I have one ? to lukems and Bungie. When Bungie said couple weeks ago that you will keep your Total Exp and also your High Skill level. Bungie is saying right now 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.

Poor Yorick - Ever since I had to read Hamlet I thought that a reference had been missing. And so any time I play Campaign on Live I run though the map shouting that we can leave poor Yorick behind and once I get "Yorick's" skull it is the only thing I use.

We need better looking armors for elites! Basic combat helmet is only one that you can wear really! Make councilor-helmet. You could get it when you have all new achievements. I would wear it. I dont care about huge hitbox, I care about my look :D

  • 09.07.2008 11:04 PM PDT

Rusty but still the best shot

i think what ou is doing is great for the comuity is great and al but the achivments are too easy for us and as oon as those are gone and the newmaps and playlist become old in a mtter of a month gears 2 will be out and numbers will drop again is there any support for this situation when it comes about lukems.

  • 09.08.2008 12:08 AM PDT

I didn't blow up the sun so you kids could brag about it! Now get out there and fight some aliens!

I think ya should take out the Katana, it's silly and so...

I respect your opinion, I'm probably just going to disagree with it.

Hmm. As there will be new achievements, will this mean those 1000/1000 gamerscore armour perms will re-lock?

Haha! The return of the Vidmaster... awesome. Never shoot when you have grenades!
