7. Booters, standbyers: You're next.
You know that warning that's been in Matchmaking for some time? The one that says "Cheating is being autodetected?" It wasn't kidding. We've got your behaviors down, too. If you wish to continue playing Halo online, I suggest you knock off the crap. The punishment coming your way is far more severe than what boosters are getting


Wait... what's that?... Oh, it's just the sound of a Wolf crying.

Chris can't spill the beans, but that doesn't mean other people can't as well! Roger Wolfson, Online Team extraordinaire and certified mathemagician has another really awesome feature that that film clip fans have been requesting for some time. From the Wolf's mouth:

Hello again, Roger here with an update on the Bungie Pro subscription service we inaugurated a year ago. To recap, Bungie Pro allows subscribers expand their Halo 3 File Share from 6 slots and 25MB of storage to 24 slots and 250MB of storage, to the tune of 750 Spacebucks for the year, which is around 78 cents per month. Halo 3 file sharing has been tremendously popular, with over 53 million pieces of content shared online in the first year alone! That year is up for the first subscribers, which makes this a great time to announce a soon-to-arrive feature that we're going to add to Bungie Pro.

And that new feature is? Render-to-video! At long last, you won't need to have a video capture card to free your saved film from the confines of your Xbox. Integrated right into the Bungie.net file-sharing experience alongside current features like "Copy to My File Share" and "Download to Halo 3" will be "Render to Video" where your short Saved Films or Film Clips (length and quantity to be determined) can come to life as a computer-playable WMV file which can be downloaded to your computer, or seen on Bungie.net alongside other game content like your Screenshots.

We're still finalizing quite a few implementation details and trying to determine at what temperature a server melts into a pool of slag that will drip through the datacenter floor. So stay tuned over the next few weeks as we get those last details sorted out. In the mean time, enjoy the Title Update, and keep that great content on your file shares.

Thank you Bungie, my capture card has been crapping on me and good to know that soon, people will not need to get one.

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

I love that you are going to make videos play on Bungie.net!
Thanks!

D/W you wont get banned, they can tell if you were playing properly and why you quit. So go play!

Subject: Fixed GP 1000 Armor

Like Halo 2. Like Halo 3 even better. I prefer a good match with not much trash talking and I'm laid back and easy going.

I still am not able to wear the security and katana even if I have 1030 gp. Does the new rewards register with unlocking armor. Like if I got a double double would that count for the 1000 required to get the armors? Is the Bungie crew still working on that if it is a problem?

I've quit a total of about 300 games over the year because I would get kicked off. I rarely quit nowadays though. Will I get banned?


BTW: good update

  • 10.04.2008 6:53 AM PDT

Looks like Game Vee is going to lose most of its users because now we won't have to use Grab!

Cooliris (Formaly PicLens) will be supported in File Shares! Thats awesome. *huggles FireFox*

Those who need to be banned will be banned. >:D
