Subject: Halo 3 Title Update

Hello, my name is Tom, and I am a firefighter, also I am very proficient in Microsoft office. I love all Halo games, and like call of duty.

yay i worked so hard to get my 50 gen.. now i gotta play on my 50 to get my general back... wtf bungie that's screwed up...

everything else is good.. u should have calculated the exp in everyone's play list so they don't have to start completely over...

now all the noobs out there are gonna boost there rank and get a general and say they have skill... or just get a general by legitimacy playing;.. still no skill pretty much.. god.. why?

The rest of the updates are good, good job bungie..

Will I get banned if my friend is a 50 in doubles and we play together for a while, then I make it to a 50. Is that considered boosting? cuz that seems legit to me. Also, there is a budget glitch found in forge, if you use it, is it considered content modification and punishable? Please answer mw this, so I am not to get banned for something I didnt know was wrong. Please, I love this game so I dont want a ban. PLEASE!

EDIT: I have not become a 50, I just ask, I am only a 41.

The update is fine, new maps, achievements and so on are very much welcomed, but one thing has left me with a very sour taste in my mouth after playing Halo 3 earlier and that is a lack of Big Team Battle unless I have the Legendary Map Pack. This is absolutely ridiculous. I can now no longer play with 16 players unless I purchase maps on top of buying the game itself. I find this absurd and has put me off playing Halo for a while now until this is fixed, I am now being restricted from a major part of the game because I'm not buying optional maps. Ridiculous.

You call this an UPDATE?! How about you fix the piece of -blam- matchmaking system and have EVEN matchups, instead of having a team of recruits against a team of general. Plus all of the hard work me and my firends, clan, and even my cousins have gone to get to ranks that seem to impress noobs is GONE. I have to start from the BEGINNING. Could you have had this earlier, before 90% of the people on matchmaking are 6-year-old kids who have trouble holding the controller let alone playing the game. I'll be glad to boycott halo for LTG

Just Another Grunt...

Yay, time to never play matchmaking again... I'm so excited. I'll just go play some Gear of War 2 or Rock Band 2, you know? Thanks for ruining the entire system.

So there are new skulls we have to find in the multiplayer maps? What are all the weird names for the skulls? And if the skulls are the previous ones then do we get the achievements automatically?

1. The teaser is NOT A NEW GAME!

2. The skulls are on the MYTHIC MAP PACK so you have to wait and find them.

3. Quit asking about the achievements when you can look in your own damn Xbox!

4. As of what I've witnessed 1000 gamerscore will give you security AND katana no matter what achievements.

I agree with this guy. Stop crying about the myhtic maps and just wait for them to come out.

The new update is very nice, however it seems like more than just acheivements and new ranks changed (weapons & sheilds?).

Whoever decided to put 8 people in lone wolves, this was not a good idea.

DUDE, everyone should stop whinning about their ranks. YOU STILL HAVE YOUR GLOBAL AND TRUE SKILL RANKING. Its like your just complaining for any random reason, bunch of babies. ALSO, read your achievments on the console, It plainly says to become a luitenant in THE NEW EXP SYSTEM. You people need to leearn to take care of things yourself. I think the update is just fine I just want to know if I get banned for forging with the budget glitch. If someone from Bungie would please answer me this, I will stop if it is punishable. It should be fine though because doing this could cause a lil lag in your game on one of these maps,so its kind of like, do it at your own risk, you know? All in all, Im satisfied with the update, I got the annual achievment last night and it was EPIC! good job Bungie.

the mythic map pack is MP so the skulls will be on a multiplayer map....

  • 09.26.2008 8:44 AM PDT

What playlist is the 3 oddball kills achievement in? Why are all the maps changed? I liked the old ones better. Once I played a legendary big team thing (or what ever they changed it's name to) on standoff and it was horribly balanced there were spartan lazers and guass warthogs everywhere... What is up with the custom gameish places in matchmakeing? The team slayer in the legendary map pack was my favorite before it was taken away. I got my level 38 in lone wolves and it is now 8 players and it is too hetic now, so now I have to start over in another palylist. Now little noobs with no skill can be a general... In my opinion the update was poor.
