Uh-Huh. More "Banhammer" chest beating. Great PR you got going there but EVERYONE knows it won't last long even if it does work. You guys basically abandoned Halo 2 after the 1st update and it's the same broken game it's been since. Halo 3 is going to be no different unless you dump the host system. Enough with the patronizing already

Why do you insist on sticking up for the folks at bungie. Do you understand they do not care about you, they do not care about any of their fans. They are in it for the money and that is it. That is why the quality of the games produced from bungie has gone down over time. The first gams they made, amazing, the games they made later on were pretty bad. But you will never say that because you think bungie and halo is amazing, if you would just treat them like every other company and tell them what is wrong with the game, i doubt, but maybe, they would start changing things. But understand that you are just another fanboy to them. Lukems doesn't like you, along with anyone else at bungie. I think that bungie should have kept ranked out completely, it causes too many problems. I don't get on often, i get on probably once or twice a month unless i get really bored and don;t wok a lot, and when i get on, i hardly ever post. But when there is just crap in the updates, and bad news, it kinda calls for a replay. I mean, bungie could at least relate it more to something they are doing other than the freakig update which has been pretty much what the past three updates have been about. So shut your mouth and speak some truth, Halo 3 blows, it topped sales on launch but is also one of the games that is returned the most, i know.


Man I've managed a GameStop for 5 years, and ANY game that is really popular gets brought back because there are so many copies in circulation. Right now we have just as many copies of Call of Duty 4 and Grand Theft Auto 4 brought back as Halo 3, that's what happens when a lot of people by something, there's that many more in circulation. If I don't like something, I'm sure to chime in and let people know in the hopes it would get fixed, but right now there is very little I don't like about Halo 3, and I'd be mad if they did make too many changes to the fundamentals of the game. It plays like a Halo game should. It seems to have everything they wanted to get into Halo 1 but didn't have the time or the console power, plus a lot more. The story was pretty cool, and if you look into the terminals to get the forerunner story (much the same way a lot of the story telling worked in Marathon) you get an insanely epic story of the majority of the Forerunner's conflict with the Flood. I found very little not to like there.

so the ban system r you going to find them your self or how do u send proof to you guys that there really cheating?

  • 09.14.2008 7:33 AM PDT

Thanks for updating us on your golf game. Heads up-no one cares.

  • 09.14.2008 7:50 AM PDT

Hehe, tis a signature

Think it's like the first time i've posted. Not the easiest layout to try to reply.
Does this mean the playlist change, more importantly Squad Battle will NOT now be released on Tuesday? As someone who doesn't get that much time on Live, saying it comes out a certain day, then taking it back and putting it anywhere between two dates 9 days apart is very amatuerish. Me and my buddies have to set aside time to play, girlfriends, wives, jobs, etc. And this new Squad Battle was what we hoped would reunite the players with the game that seems to have lost such a large fan base in under a year of it being released. If it doesn't come out on Tuesday then that's basically ballsed it up, as we're not playing that ridiculous BTB.
Sad, sad days.

Chief vs the scarab? I find that hard to believe to roundhouse boot the scarab's figurative emotion out of the gaming zone.

Damn, I'm so late on this...

This update is so incredibly awesome if only for the fact that the next time I go golfing, I'm bringing a bag of marshmallows.

Nice update guys. New podcast Woot!

JR Walczak.

i'll let you in on a secret bungie... People will stop playing when you apply the insane BANHAMMER. Halo 3 is already starting to go down the drain. It is SOOOOO repetitive, that it is not fun anymore. Thats why bungie is restarting the rank and adding achievments. But of course it still won't be any good. Sorry bungie, good while it lasted, but your time is up.

  • 09.14.2008 9:24 AM PDT

hmmm... this is almost as fun as fishing cubans out of the water

who ever made that video deserves to be picked up on peoples shoulders and paraded through the Bungie community

Wow. That we really blew me off my feet. /sarcasam.

Another FAIL news post; a post that really revealed nothing except a handfull of Bungie tournies and new ways for us to get banished.

Podcast doesnt count. I can find that on Itunes.

Host system DEFINATELY needs addressing. Give host to person with the fastest upload speed. Simple as that

hopefully they are just messing with us and the update happens on the 17th or something. Also I'm glad to see the podcasts are back on a regular schedule, hopefully they keep up because they are very informative and hilarious.

  • 09.14.2008 2:51 PM PDT

Which will be more painful? The new Banhammer or a Gravity Hammer to the skull?
You decide.

bungie is doing the right thing but do they realy have a right to actualy not let you play because some people only get ther live and x box for halo3 like me and then its ruined for them

  • 09.14.2008 5:13 PM PDT

Life is full of choices. Sometimes you make the good ones, and sometimes you have to kill all the witnesses.

But then you have to pay the liability insurance.

I'm going to show how much i don't know here

But I don't understand the banhammer,I mean understand that cheating is bad etc,I just don't get what it means exactly; to clarify I understand that they will be banned form playing online, I just don't get as why this is the part I would like someone to explain to me



Posted by: Weekly update
That means no more sitting in lobbies chalk full of jerks recounting about how sweet it was when you boosted your way to 50 or how hilarious your Overkill was when you lagged out those “newbs” in Team Slayer.


and i don't know what this means exactly

we’ll be retroactively applying this ban to their accounts.


If some one would be kind enough to either give me links or explain it,that would be awesome

  • 09.14.2008 6:42 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

cool update look forward to the banning pwnage, it will be nice to see all those people that keep team killing and lagging u out of games go away. thank you bungie

when we finish the 64-man roshambo tournament to decide the release date, we'll let you know.

I always wondered how you guys decided when to release something new.
