My greatest memory of Halo 3 actually takes place at my wedding. My wife is amazing and let me play 'Never Forget' as the bridesmaids walked down the aisle!! Let me tell ya, it was a crazy rush of excitement standing there, hearing Halo music, knowing my bride was coming down the aisle next. It’ll probably be the best memory of my life!!

Great work Bungie. It's been an awesome year. Much love…

I've been sitting here reading some responces and I am seeing alot of 7hanks going to Bungie which is what they should be getting. However alot of people are bashing Bungie saying things like "No info on new maps? Way to treat your fans" and "What? NO PICS OF MAPS?!?!?! Happy Freakin Birthday". For one i can't believe people say such things. Has Bungie ever left us hanging for very long? It's not like they arn't giving us any maps, they are building hype and getting us ready to want to play them. Just zip your lips, hold your breath and wish for maps soon!

P.S : Bungie....i know you said no but I really miss Blood Gultch..... **sad face**


I'm going to die from over this overhyping...

MYTHIC FAIL =(

Kero 'Zenuree
Officer aboard the Reverence-class cruiser Intangible
Dn'end Legion

Best memory: Sitting in a lobby with a foulmouthed little twerp while signing into my laptop to voice ban him.

Probably not suitable for a “feel good” story. And yes, I did send the proper form to Banhammer afterwards.

That is pretty cool. Nice update too!

Everyone Dies!

I realize this isnt related, but I was just banned from getting experience because I was in a Social Match with my friends and a couple of guests. This isnt boosting, its a fair free for all match and me and my friends were playing at my house. So I get banned for something I had no idea about. Way to go Bungie! A warning would have been nice, not a straight banhammer. I didnt realize that playing a social match with guests was illegal. This isnt rank boosting or anything like that, but I would just like to know if this is related to the TU2 update. Ive played with guests before and nothing, but now I have to wait out the duration of the ban until I can get experience. Honestly, who boosts for experience points???

Awesome update. Looking forward to the better file sharing system for the site. Glad to hear it should be out sometime in the more near future. I also want to extend my thanks to the Bungie guys who signed my graphic novel over a year ago. Thanks Frankie and whoever else was at NYC. I sadly cant read your signature =(

I've tried several times and I think it was an Aaron. But I dont know if any Aaron was actually at NYC that day...

  • 09.28.2008 4:11 PM PDT

Legendary!

awesome update? no.

as cool as new features for the site are, I still wanna know at least a little more about the trailer they released and when we might be able to expect the content, instead they totally ignored the fact they even released a teaser this past week all together.

i got my annual achievement... it took 1 hr and 20 mins though but it was worth it...

nice update, but i wish there had been info on the teaser trailer or the mythic map pack. but i don't get it. it says that there are skull achievements for the maps, but then it says there are achievements for things like killtaculars and perfections. does that mean they will be releasing campaign maps AND matchmaking maps???? man, what is bungie up to?!?!

PS - has anyone heard anything about rumors concerning the vidmaster annual achievement?? i've heard that if you complete the annual challenge (which i did) you get some sort of discount on the new maps. i highly doubt this, but i just wanted to know if anyone else had heard anything about this??

Happy Birthday Halo 3

  • 09.28.2008 8:11 PM PDT

I miss playing Halo with my friends.

Thank you Bungie for the greatest game ever!

  • 09.28.2008 8:12 PM PDT

Best update ever...ish... or at least since last year.

Shmokin a pancake

I think all the stories were possibly the best things i've heard in an update yet. You guys are awesome, and its good to know you boys and girls have some good memories to bring along from the experience. And sharing them with us too, thats pretty great stuff right there =) Some of em just made me laugh insanely, and to be honest we could alluse a laugh right about now ^.^

You guys are amazing, and thank you for SOOOO much these past years. I know most of us -blam!- at least 80% of the time, but in the end we pretty much ALL love you guys. I am honored to know such admirable people live merely a couple hours from where I live, and to be from the state that brought you the best goddamn video game scifi shooter series.
EVAR.

*dork salute*

You shoulda had Frankie write something up! Hire him for like, not so weekly updates or something! We miss you ya coniving bastard.

And I just want to say, thank you for not caving in. I love the way you guys do your announcements and stuff, because it drives most people insane with impatience ^.^ Can't wait to hear more about what you chaps are up to, but make sure and draw it out nicely =) They all know they can't hate you forever.

I am wondering why me and my friends got banned for playing DLC FFA Rockets like 18 times before we finally got an odd ball match? We werent even trying to get to general just trying to unlock the achivenments. Before this update came out i have already beat the game and got 1000 Gamescore for the game when it came out last year. I have never cheated in my Xbox Live or Halo 2 or Halo 3. I got the ban message at 7:00pm friday. Also if you make achivenments put more of odd ball and other game types in DLC FFA to make it more interesting. Instead of playing DLC FFA Rockets 18 times in a row.


Same thing happened to me man, and I'm in the same shoes as you regarding never cheating and have been an Xbox Live member for over 5 years. I really don't know what the deal is exactly with Banhammer v2.0, and I wish they would release some more specific details on what gets you banned. I'm not sure if quitting out of FFA games gets you a ban, because that is the only thing I could think of that I did. The reason for me quitting was trying to get an Oddball game on a Legendary map and was getting tired of playing infection.

Before anyone starts flaming on this post, please note that I am simply a 28 year old avid gamer with a career, so, trust me when I say I have better things to do than cheat in Halo 3. I'll be taking a break from Halo for 2 weeks now, since I won't earn EXP on the games I play.

Bungie could you please list some examples of wrongdoings that are captured in Banhammer v2.0 so some of those don't make the same mistake again and to keep other legit gamers from making the same mistake I may have made. Thank you.

LC out

Awesome update. The look back was great with the quotes.
Very cool.

Bungie there are many that do get it and greatly enjoy the scope and breadth that is Halo (epic story, incredible physics, texture mapping, crazy stuff with live that I don't get but enjoy, continual improvements on small bugs, and best of all putting up with us FANatics that want to make sure the core of the game stays well core).
