Excellent news. If only I still had my Xbox 360...

I know we'll be reunited someday soon, and I will get to taste the sweetness that is TU2.

Nice update. GG Bungie.

Aaaaaaaaaand? You're a pretend Captain on the Internet. You probably don't have the real skills to command. Most of us don't. It's just a pretend rank in a game. Which you still have, by the way, under "Global Ranking."

The title update for Halo 3 is now available on Xbox LIVE. New achievements and more await. Details inside.


@Bungie: I have a question regarding the new ranking system. In the previous system, you would need a certain level + exp to get to the next rank right? Well now that we only need exp in order to get a rank for each playlist, how are the "Officer Ratings" going to work? Are we going to go through all 4 grades of a particular rating before finally moving on to the next one (requiring less exp each grade than the global ratings) or will we just hit the first 2 grades? Thanks!

Seems the only thing major introduced so far with TU2 is someone called "MAJOR FREAKIN LAG!!" I'm going to go buy a ps3 - bungie you really moofed up what was a really good game.

Your momma obviously didn't teach you "if it's not broke DON'T FIX IT!!!"

My biggest problem with the update is that it doesn't address the real problems with Halo 3 that we all face aside from better detecting cheaters. These problems make some of us not want to play Halo 3 as much. Adding new achievements and playlist ratings won't bring people back.

It is good that the update can better detect cheaters. I think that is important. But the other problems are not being addressed and things are being added to the game that is pretty much pointless.

I'll continue to support the Halo franchise but that doesn't mean I have to be happen when things like this happen. Heck I'd be happy with the Halo 2 BR and nothing else. Or at least let me reload the weapon without having to do so again 2 or 3 times because of that reload glitch.



ok i must no what is the difference between halo 2 and 3s br spread and what is this reloading glich u speak of

and dont forget halo 1 didnt have a br so ur lucky there is one

Continuous luck is skill.

i get it 7 on the 7th now! .. it's kind of confusing in the descripion otherwise, it looked like you needed to be, or get to 7 EXP (only, maybe in one particular playlist). that makes total sense now. I guess the only question I had left is how will the campain ghost thing work? I'm sure I'll find out later.

PERSONALLY i think this is the worst update ever to happen.

i only wish Bungie could See or Hear me when i am playing lone wolves. They expect eight people to play a game of oddball? They all 8 players with 2 grenades? 8 x 2 = 16, SIXTEEN GRENADES BEING THROWN AT YOU CONSTANTLY. IT TOOK THE MAJORITY OF THE PLAYERS 5:12 Minutes TO HOLD THE BALL FOR 13 SECONDS. <--- THIRTEEN SECONDS.

NOT TO MENTION THE LAG OF NOW MORE THAN JUST A COUPLE OF PLAYERS.
NOT TO MENTION MORE, MORE, AND MORE KILL STEALING, HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KEEP UP WITH EIGHT PEOPLE WHEN THERES NOW 2 MORE PLAYERS THAT FIRE AT ANYTHING THAT MOVES AND STEAL YOUR KILLS.

I am sorry for typing in capital letters, but i am SO INFURIATED. I couldn't care less about the new maps, or the new rank system, BUT EIGHT PEOPLE IN LONE WOLVES?

Every single game i join everyone who i presume occasionally uses his/her mic, now purposely plugs in their mics to RANT about the new update.

I don't want to be just another random person commenting on this blog.

I want to be heard.

and I'm sure theirs others like me that feel the same exact way.
Something has to be done. Please.

P.S. If you took the time to read this, thank you.

Ever think that you might need the LEGENDARY maps to play? It's the new requirement. Congrats on not reading past updates here on bungie.net.

Which is bull-blam!- they already have a DLC playlist so why must they force people to buy their crappacks to play what they were always able to. God help us if they decide to req all maps for every playlist.

~`GûNz*~~

so um i get it everyone is mad, but oh well, generals you get to earn it again and that rank lost its sparkle when the first D-bags started selling their accounts. i want the Maps, since My crew and i play Customs A LOT. yeah this will take a minute to ride it out to normal, but we all will be back there again, and yes some of the 0-point achievements are silly. in the end i have to say Bungie can do what ever they want and i will continue to by their games. love you too Bungie (give us more info on the new maps)( rum and coke do it, do it)

Why don't you and the rest of the people who want the legendary maps for free just start a petition and send it to Microsoft? Afterall, they're in charge of the prices of DLC as far as I know.

Sure, GoW 2 will have map packs also. But don't expect things to be much different...

Umm I was just trying out the new playlists and I noticed that DLC BigTeam has a huge problem. It almost NEVER plays A DLC map I have only played one one so far and that was standoff and thats not even a legendary map.............this makes it really hard to get the new achievements. Please fix this.

  • 09.23.2008 10:27 PM PDT

Buying the maps wouldn't be such a big deal to me if you actually got more than one good map per pack.

Have you even played on the Legendary maps? I mean, truly played on them meaning different game types (swat, team slayer, zombies, etc.). The Legendary map pack was worth the 800 points, unlike the Heroic map pack...

  • 09.23.2008 10:32 PM PDT

What if they are adding campaign levels as well as multiplayer levels. When has there ever been skulls on multiplayer maps?(haha not including oddball a$$3s)Think about it... find skulls.. hmmmm
