There are 10 types of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't!

Great update, love it when I lament the update finishing, it always means there was goodies :)

I haven't read any other posts, so this may have been said, but you guys gave us the ability to quit out of a game, or to be booted from a game in some instances. If you have an issue with people quitting all the time, then you shouldn't have given us that ability. Plus, some people have very poor connections, or family members who think they are funny, or bad luck when it comes to betrayals. That's just my view on the matter, so please, for the sake of the many children in this community, don't flog me.

So Walshy got owned? Thank you Bungie, I think you just cured my super cancer! Also, it's sad to see the Beta tripmine is guaranteed to never see the light of day ever again... *Sigh*, triple betrayals sound fun. :(

No. You're dumb and Bungie's full of itself. Walshy shat on Bungie, I saw the film on mlgpro.com.


You're watching one game Walshy played against us. He came back for more and was rebuffed 10-3 and held to one kill.

I wish I was still legendary.

the achievements we were shown are worth 250gp, which means that they're on of 3 installments of add-on achievements.

I didn't really care if they were "real" achievements or not. The 7 on 7 though. Do you have to just have a 7 in the EXP or do you have to only have 7 EXP? The legendary with 4 player co-op sounds hella fun. Why the implementation of being achievable in ranked or social? Wouldn't that just make them more easier to achieve?

Will the achievements be unlockable on the new maps after Legendary? (whatever they will be called)

Also, I don't like 0 point achievements for doing really hard things. Seems like a waste of time, but pointless achievements for 0 points are fun.

really hard? wtf is wrong with you

  • 09.05.2008 5:59 PM PDT

there are 2 facts you should know..... 1. there is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. 2. no one dies a virgin because life screws us all

so, with the new achievements, will you have to unlock those as well to get the security helmet and the katana? because i really don't want to have to get that again

Quitting for 7 Exp is hard.

  • 09.05.2008 6:01 PM PDT

Sweet. Now will collecting all the new achievements including the 0pt achievements unlock anything special like the first 1000pts did with the armor?

Who cares about the new rank system? What a disgusting waste of time and resources, you should focus on actually making the game better for your community, not your selves (Which is obviously what your doing after burying our hopes for a trip mine that isn't ****)

Nice update can't wait for the new stuff. but i have one question, I live in Canada so i couldn't attend PAX, how else would Canadians get the *R*(lol) word without making machinima? because most of the more accessible ways of receiving the coveted armor is by attending special events like PAX, most in the USA. i was just wondering.

Hey cool, a couple questions though...

Any chance of that bug when viewing party details that causes your emblem and the player whose party is being viewed's player color being displayed at the top of the party details screen getting fixed with this "Title Update"? For some reason, that really bugs me... =]

and...

Is there a method in place to determine whether a player lagged out of a game or intentionally quit? Maybe a flag that is set when the "Quit" option is selected (perhaps this question would best be left unanswered, or at the least answered vaguely, to prevent possible loopholes from arising)? I ask because I have a couple friends who often do lag out of games... so often, in fact, that it is a wonder that they even have any EXP at all... It would be a shame if they were penalized for something that is out of their control.

Typical Halo nerd. Move along.

Wow. 27 people who got to actually GO to PAX got Recon Armor. How fair.

Wow. No GOOD Tripmine. How fair.

Wow. No remake of one of the best Halo maps ever. How fair.

Wow. No release date of Assembly, let alone any new map. How fair.

Wow. No news on any big projects. How fair.

Wow. New achievements in Halo 3.....Freaking awesome.


All in all, a decent update. Nothing spectacular, yet nothing dissapointing. I'm really looking forward to those new achievements, but since I already GOT all of them, I wonder if I have to earn them yet again. Thanks Bungie. At least Rocket Race is gone. That sucky playlist needed to be killed a LOOONG time ago.

I am pretty upset that 27 people walked away with Recon Armor. But, I guess for those who can go, it was a true prize. Guys, can you PLEASE do something closer to us Eastern States? We matter to!

Also, again, do I HAVE to earn all those achievements again? Or does it automatically give them to me? Probably not, but I would like to know. Thank you!

article is fake. you can't possess a firearm, firearms don't have souls. not to mention that most people don't have fireresistant skin so a firearm would be pretty useless after a few minutes

Have you Finished the Fight?

Sounds great, but I'm a little worried about your exp gets reset back to 0.

  • 09.05.2008 6:06 PM PDT

if you have it already, you're fine, according to Ferrex

  • 09.05.2008 6:07 PM PDT

As excited as I am for new achievements, I'm pretty disappointed with this update. I can't believe that there is any kind of respectable reason not to see the return the beta trip mine, and the lack of Blood Gulch makes babies cry.

27 teams = 54 people
And then massive numbers of folks were rebuffed by the pure, unadulterated skill on display.

Yeah, same here... I'm sooooo close to getting my force colonel... it's too bad I'll be losing most of that experience... Most of it is from double XP playlists (grifball).

I guess I'll be playing a lot of 3 ball this weekend... =\
