With Luke and Sketch bound for Tokyo, I'm the only one left to provide you guys with your weekly update. Sucks to be you. Or does it?
Nice update Shishka. The quality remains intact with Luke's absence. Best closing photoshop ever!

Question: Does the Cooiris image imply that there will be some Cooliris integration in bungie.net in the future, or was it just used becasue it looks cool? Cooliris is a really slick image viewing plugin for firefox, for those who don't know. Check it out.

Edit: I see I'm a little late on singing Cooliris' praise, but the question still stands: Is this a planned integration of some sort?

I'm assuming that the render-to-video feature is not like GameVee's "capture" service where you can see the time bar at the top. If so, that update to the file share service is useless.

I cant believe they are actually trying to ban people for quitting. I understand that its annoying to some, but if bungie would release the strangle-hold they have on making you play maps and game types in playlists (such as multi-team snowbound team hammers, swords, VIP etc) that simply just suck, then players would definitely not quit as much. Other games,for example GOW or most PC games, you can actually play ranked matches with maps and gametypes that YOU chose. Am i supposed to waste 12 minutes of my life playing some ridiculous gametype in fear that these bungie douche bags might ban me? Laughable...

Great update!

I think the most exciting of the B.net changes, is the one for people who are "capture-cardless." I would love to download my clips from B.net to my computer.

Will the files only be in Window Media Format or possibly Quicktime as well?

This update was very meaty.

  • 10.04.2008 2:04 PM PDT

Yea you get the Red Tunic at the Ice temple and The Blue Tunic in Ganondorf's palace at the end of Zelda. Which are both obviously in Japan.

How am I supposed to get a negative exp account without quitting a whole bunch?

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

AWESOME!!!

Great stuff Shishka - You should do the update every week!!!!

Thanks for everything Bungie!

5. Quitting: Only in moderation
There are plenty of totally valid reasons to quit. For example, if you're on fire. Or, if your mother is on fire. Or, even if your dog is setting your mother on fire. However, these things come with statutes of limitations. For quitting, if you do it so often that we recognize it as bad behavior, you're risking the wrath of the Banhammer.


I said it last week and I'll say it again - this is completely ridiculous. You are really trying to dictate behavior to the point that you will ban people for quitting too much? How exactly do you know when it is "valid" to quit and it isn't? How do you know what real life circumstances surround my needing to quit? Are you going to ban people that play Halo 3 on military bases because they have to quit out of a game to do something important? Are you going to ban people that have biological problems and have to run to the bathroom frequently? Are you going to ask me what real life circumstances surrounded me needing to quit before you ban me, or are you just going to ban me without warning, without bothering to check if there could have been some other problem?

I can already predict the answer to this post -
"No, we ban for behavior. Our mystical banhammer is able to use it's mighty powers of clairvoyance to determine exactly what you are doing when you quit out of Halo 3. You have been warned."

And I can already predict the response of the community to this change -
People will simply go away from their controller instead of quitting, leaving their xbox in the game while they go do whatever they were going to do anyway.

Great, so now instead of getting a quitter in Team Slayer, I'm going to get some jackass who stands still the whole game getting killed by the enemy team and making it even harder for our team to win than it would have been if he had just quit.

Personally, I will continue quitting whenever the hell I feel like it. If you want to ban me for it, go right ahead. I'd rather not play this game than have some high and mighty game developers try to tell me that I HAVE to play it and that I HAVE to finish games, even if they are terrible garbage like splockets or half my team quits.

Fallout 3 will be out soon anyway.
