Will skill still be a way to rank up or is it all exp.

The reason i ask is that my highs is in bubbles and every time I play I seem to get recruits with a highest skill of 50(or something along those lines) I find it annoying to face someone with more skill then I when all I'm trying to do is enjoy my ranked games.

It would be more effective to revamp your ranking a true skill. so once you get to a skill and rank their is no way to go down so players like me that barely squeeze out 15 to 18 kills in a good fair match, have a better chance of getting one of those good fair matches that are so hard to find. Message me back if you get the chance.

I have a quick question concerning the quitting ban... what if your power cuts out or someone shuts off your xbox or something? cause i've had some times where i've been shut off from power outs or someone wanted me to get off so they shut off my xbox.... so what then? besides that sick update i'm way excited for it!

Ya I have a similar problem. My live gets disconnected when I'm playing any game if the phone rings, but I don't have dial-up, I'm connected to a wireless router, and I have comcast, and the phone is plugged into the wall. I don't know how it happens but it's really annoying and it forces me to play late at night when no one is going to call. So if you can figure out how this happening let me know. Thanks!
If I get banned for quitting then I'm gonna call back the person that called and tell them thanks you just ruined my fun, now I can't enjoy live anymore. I know that at least 95% of my quit games are because of this. The other 5% are probably Standoff because of its warthogs, seriously, those need to go.

u is wut u is and u not wut ya not

this is goin to b the most pointless update y change a good thing to something bad....just cuz a few ppl want it to b easer to b a general????

FEAR 117

wow. sure looks like bungie threw some real easy achievments in for a ton of points. NICE!! PS. what the hell do i have to do to get recon?

  • 09.09.2008 5:21 PM PDT

Those who ask about the ghost in campainge. If you play the last level on legendary with 3 other people there is a hidden spot with 4 ghosts.
You will not lose your katana armor if you have it once the new achievements are out, that is connected to the first 1000 achievement points.
The 0 pt achievements most likily won't be worthless, my guess is that it will unlock some with collecting the other achievements and don't expect Bungie to comment on that for thats the purpose it's a secret, unlock'em and find out.
Recon armor big question maybe the achievement will unlock that, maybe not. Your best bet is to do something to impress Bungie to get it.
I agree with a lot of other people I think a remake of Coagulation would be nice, I also enjoyed Headlong, Turf and Ivory Towers in that order, not say they should remake all of those but at least consider one of the first two for Big Team and one of the other Two for 4 vs 4 or 2 vs 2.
As far as quitters go, I have myself had to quit because of someone coming over or I have to attend to my kids but that's very rare and I do believe reguler abusers should be punished.
I know Bungie side they won't do any more armor but they can also change their minds and decide to add more armor if they fill.
In closing Thanks Bungie for a great game, can't wait to see what your next creation is.

Do you know what the total amount of achievement points are possible, probably an oblivion type or gears of war of 1225-1400?

with the new ahievements, will you have to do them to keep your katana?if so, that's kind of sucks, because it's having to pay for the katana, i mean, you need the legendary map pack forsome of the achievements, right? so it's like having to pay money to keep your katana..?

Is the new map going to have hornets as an option forge? If so, is it going to be more than 2? And if not, is there going to be a map with 4 of more hornets?

yo are the achievments limited time to get and then theyre gone?

  • 09.09.2008 7:54 PM PDT

This just makes it more unfair to the people that are less fortunate financially. Those with not enough money to buy the legendary map pack can't get the new achievements! I am so pissed off about this! WHY?????!!!!!!

with all do respect bungiee im sorry to say that update is not cool.
why start everyone at 0 xp again...
now everybodypeople will be match up with generals and people with 50s.
thats dumb cause i mean the achivements is cool but this you just killed it.Now ill never get my goal of being a field major and i was so close too!!

  • 09.09.2008 10:40 PM PDT

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

Oh my god why are people having a flippin hissy fit over armor, they're all the same worrying "Oh noez am I gonna have to get the new achievements to keep my (stupid) katana" god wasn't it that the katana was unlocked once you get 1000 gamerscore for Halo 3 jesus you're nearly all the same do some research before you all have a cry to Bungie about it. You all need to get over it, if you have to get the new achievements to keep it so what just suck it up and be a man.

I have dsl and it drops for no reason every now and then. atleast once a day guys, it sucks if you've witnessed this. if not then i apologize in advance for those that eventually will. i believe i've lost around 120 exp from it...

qs: will everyone's rank drop back down and have to start over or what?

why isn't "sniper" games a permanent play list? seriously guys?
