OMG I can't wait tell this update is ready. It all sounds great, but I want to know, Will we ever see a Ranked Team Snipers thats on there like we had in Halo 2. I mean its there every now and then and some for Double EXP Weekend, But what about just playin Team Snipers all the time. I miss Team snipers. Im sure alot of gamers miss it. Will you ever bring it back??
Its Every bit as great as just playin Ranked Team Slayer all the time, If not better.

"Our Arrows will Blot out the sun." "Then we will fight in the shade"
This is my favorite line from 300 THAT MOVIE RULEZ ALL

...........I accidentally just reported Enzer0...........whoops sorry about that.............Im glad BTB is going to be gone............No offense but I find it Hilarious that you guys were saying that people love big team and the reason you made Avalanche was because we needed more maps for big team...........and Now it has failed completely.......maybe that will show you that we don't need maps with 50 vehicles on them.we need maps that have lots of BRs and have plenty of opportunities to be strategic and fun maps.......The only other thing I can complain about (yes I know we all hate people that complain but still we all do it) is the whole banning boosters deal.....I mean I have boosted people in many playlists across H2/H3 and it is my personal opinion that if someone is boosting that just means that they personally have done everything they can do on their own account meaning they have a few 50s they have a 4 or 5 star general but still they want to keep playing so what do they do? they make new accounts and help their friends that aren't as good at the game get some levels...I dont really see what the harm is especially considering now that your giving even someone that cant get a 10 the ability to become a general.....yea its very nice of you guys to help out the noobs but still its ridiculous to ban someone for starting a new tag and PLAYING YOUR GAME I mean when it all comes down to it isn't that the whole point? to get people to play your game..after losing so many people to COD4 I dont understand why your complaining that you still have hardcore fans that want to keep playing.............by the way I am not one of the people that has stooped so low as to play COD4.....well i played it at a friends house for about 10 minutes..I got 23 kills and died 5 times against people that were supposedly good.....its a terrible game that people only play because THEY were terrible at Halo.........that game is known and shall always be known by me as C**K of Doody 4 Modern Ghey F^!K Stupid....please bungie just don't be too drastic you really have to realize that a lot of the boosters(and no I dont mean the ones who quit out of 100s of games so they don't lvl up)are just really hardcore fans that just want to continue being loyal to Bungie and want to keep playing Halo 3



This post was already ridiculously long but I have been thinking about something......I know bungie has said that they don't have an exact date for Assembly's release........but seeing as how they had a final build( I assume it was final) at PAX that they were playing and they released screen shots of it which they usually dont do until the map itself is close to releasing I have a theory that they will be releasing on the 25th as a one year anniversary kind of deal....I mean it fits right bungie likes to celebrate anniversary's and what not so I don't understand why this wouldn't fit....another thing that led me to believe this is the fact that they said AU2 will be releasing BEFORE the 25th meaning that they are trying to keep the 25th open for something else............I don't know I think I'm right but bungie is unpredictable on some things so I could just be reading way to much into all of this

Let me just say, I'm all for this new system of cheat detecting and "no forgivness". Its great. But I just had a question. Couldn't these cheaters just create a new account and do it all over again? Would there be some way to stop this?

Seeing that you are being so firm with your ban hammer I only ask one thing of you, bungie. Please keep us more updated and also change your weekly favorites possibly, maybe, WEEKLY. If you want to keep firm on your decisions then keep up on what you actually say you will do for us, because we can all tell you that you don't keep up very well.

  • 09.15.2008 6:29 AM PDT

Why is it that every weekly update is so hyped up when in reality nothing special ever happens. Its annoying. It's always about how your going to ban everyone, but yet cheating has never stopped. Banning people hasn't accomplished all that much has it? Maybe it would be wiser to focus on developing a better infrastructure for this game, and devoting your resources toward an interface that can't be tampered with. I mean there are people out there that can accomplish this. Human resources might not be doing their job too well... you should check into that, instead of going golfing!!!!!

  • 09.15.2008 7:32 AM PDT

Ahhhhh!

hey when the changes are inacted will a team snipers be put in, please say yes.

Stop arguing over imaginary -blam!-. May as well argue over Santa Claus. There will never be proof that there is/was a god - and before people start saying "HERP DERP PROVE THERE WASN'T ONE ROFLOLOL" well, you are the people who made it up in the first place so we know there isn't one
What created the big bang then? A coalition of genetically modified TR-909s with extra distortion?

im still amazed that people care... the auto update is nothing it adds a silly picture next to your gamertag.... it changes the game in no way whatsoever.... i wouldnt even call it an update... id call it bungie satisfying all the crybabys who cant get there 50... ooo im gunna quit halo i won 10 games in a row and am still a 47 boo hoo... try not loosing 700 games before you win 10 in a row... im amazed that bungie would even do this... if they wanted a cod ranking system it should have been implemented day one... not whenever they please... and about the bans... who cares? really who cares? those of you that are waiting for your ban... thats about it.... and really i could care less if my account gets banned from halo... the game is slowly loosing what originally kept me playing... FUN... now we need to add a bunch of uneeded bull-blam!- to make all the 8 year olds that shouldnt even be playing the game happy? im so tired of seeing people with 50's that are terrible...but i could care less if you ban them... who cares if they cheated for there 50? just shows how much they really have going for them.. absolutely nothing... the only people i even care to see banned is all the host booters and standbyers... that actually matters the game.. not some -blam!- with his language set on god knows what.. ive been wanting and waiting to start a new account just to play mlg on and get a 50 in mlg on but i refuse to spend the money when i hit 45 and people get host booted everygame... gets kinda rediculous.. sometimes its your team getting screwed sometimes its your team doing the screwing either way im tired of it.... the problems been around since halo2 and made alot of really good players quit playing... and why not just take away the cheaters 50? freeze there rank at 1... let them play matchmaking... who cares about cheating if your rank is perpetually frozen at 1... noone.... hell why not just pull the ranking system all together? or atleast make it not visible to the player... theres alot of things you could do besides give 500,000 people who in no way deserve a general a general...thats what pisses me off the most... i worked hard for my first 50... really -blam!- hard... i already see enough 50s that just payed someone to get it for them... that decreases the value of my 50 enough now you gotta kick me in the balls while im down and not even let me see my general emblem that i put alot of curse filled hours into earning... rediculous... ill stick around after the update but who knows for how long... maybe long enough to work on a 50 in mlg maybe ill like the update... but as far as i can see... it does nothing positive... oh yeah and do me a favor please? let me know when your done worrying about something that doesnt even alter the game and start trying to fix the mistakes in halo 3... i dont think i need to list them i think weve all shot some one in the face with a sniper 17 times in a row just to watch blood fly out while he runs rampid and unharmed... fix things that matter... make the game better... i could care less about the ranking -blam!- im a 5 star... id gladly give it away just to see the actuall game fixed not some stupid ranking system...id like to go back to applying myself to halo and wanting to be a better player... as for now looks like im still going to have play and not try... i verry rarely even try anymore just play for something to do... id like to remember what it felt like to try.... to have a reason to try..

Take a look at ODST Recon

I have a few questions about the Ultra Ban in particular.

1) Is it permanent?
2) Is it only going to apply to the people that cheat, or is it any kind of breach of the Code of Conduct?
3) I forget what number 3 was, but I'll tell you when I remember.

To tell you the truth this is the first time i've posted anything and I know im probley going to get banned from the forms on bungie.net but here it goes.

BUNGIE SUCK'S BALLS !
Many things in halo 3 suck and are completley stupid : people (bungie) say's if you ask for recon you will never get it. WHO GIVES A -blam!- ! recon sucks, it looks ugly, the flames give the invis away and to many people want it for no reason. There's not even a reason why bugie has recon, if they wanted to have people reconize them then fine but with this recon -blam!- it brings on problems. With every person who has recon at least every week someone say " Ya well im gana hack you! " and don't say there's no such thing as hacking, if you have ever played halo for a while you've probley heard of the iNfaMoUs, tSgH or even ABH these are hacking clan's and they will hack you bungie/Microsoft can't do -blam!- to stop them and they know it ! THE LAG SUCK'S with every game theres at least 1 game where people lag switch, use bots, or just boost's people offline giving the booster's the unfair advantige. In halo 2 when the game get's a bad connection the game ! STOPS ! for everyone untill the lag is over, in halo 3 when people use bots it makes you lag and not them so they can move around with your flag as your in the black screen ! this is because when Bungie droped the contract with microsoft then they said that bungie can't use there internet connection anymore and then bungie decided to use cisco's internet witch SUCKS ! In the past mounths bungie's been coming out with double exp and new maps this is because people hate halo 3 and now bungie isent even coming out with a halo 4 another company is lol that's how bad Halo 3 is another company is coming out with halo 4 so you know what bungie you suck your game's suck and your -blam!- company sucks and I hope every -blam!- person who works at bungie should go kill themself's

Well if you have read ALL the terms and conditions of Xbox Live and Halo 3 - We, in a long winded way, do.

I absolutely love it that you guys are busting down on betrayers and cheaters. I just finished a bunch of games where my own guys were shooting at me. Its extremely frustrating to play the game when your own teammates aren't. As I was being betrayed I was letting them kill me so I can boot them. But surprisingly the boot menu didn't come up. Why does it only come up sometimes? In BTB I was betrayed at least 5 times and it didn't come up once. The players that play to ruin it should be banned and I'm glad Bungie is coming up with something that does that. Thanks Bungie!!
