Subject: Bungie Weekly Update: 10/03/08

Halo's a hell of a drug.

I'm confused, what is boosting mean in Halo 3? I thought boosting was where people got together to get their achievements easier. Does it mean something different in Halo 3?

just curious, I've noticed that if you pick up a heavy weapon (I.E. Flamethrower, gun turret) and repeatedly drop and pick it up, you move faster.... is this considered cheating and risking the Banhammer's fury?

hey guys,
just something i think needs saying in the update i noticed the comments about people taking what we call AFKs with a players account into social games on guest accounts i think what you also need to be aware of is players bringing guests in with a sole purpose of helping them win from the opposite side ie shooting team mates this is a extremelly big problem in multi team people using guest accounts so they have someone on everybodys team making sure that their account comes first by having their guest attacking their own team mate and also allowing the account holder to run rampant on them boosting their kills.

I would think this is the same as speed carrying skrimish items ie flag and wouldnt think so but brings up a good point is that cheating or just good stategy..

Personally I avoid people who do that because it's so frickin' annoying to hear
"Flag Dropped"
"Flag Taken"
"Flag Dropped"
"Flag Taken"
"Flag Dropped"
"Flag Taken"
"Flag Dropped"
"Flag Taken"
"Flag Dropped"
"Flag Taken"
"Flag Dropped"
"Flag Taken"
etc.
Looking foward to the file share upgrade. I gave up on trying to get my stuff noticed because yes, 10 seconds after posting it, it was 3 pages back.
The buTube thing is a great idea, I'm sure tons of people will love that. Too bad I already spent almost $80 to buy a device for just that purpose.

  • 10.04.2008 6:23 PM PDT

You know you are spending too much time on Halo 3 when you sit on the can and say BOMB ARMED!! BOMB PLANTED!!

MY FAVORITE LINE OF THE UPDATE...

7. Booters, standbyers: You're next.
.....The punishment coming your way is far more severe than what boosters are getting.

I cannot wait until I find out what this is on the "I should not have been banned forum.

Shishka, AWESOME UPDATE!

  • 10.04.2008 7:17 PM PDT

Average player, doing average stuff.

I still don't like the ban for quitting thing.

This is my favorite line from 300 THAT MOVIE RULEZ ALL

The only interesting thing was the ability to watch the videos and stuff without a capture card. Oh by the way(and this is directed to all of bungie)you guys are morons........seriously the whole banning people from getting exp for two weeks(and yes i was included in that group) that was just a stupid idea.........no one cares about exp anymore since you changed the system so any garbage kid can get a general .Seriously get a grip guys your losing your entire fan base and this whole campaign addition where OMG I CAN PLAY AS AN ODST is retarded the only reason the Halo series is any good is BECAUSE OF THE SPARTANS if I wanted to play some little IM A GIANT -blam!- WHO DIES WHEN I GET SHOT ONCE I would go play garbage Call of duty 4. I mean seriously you guys will not be able to find someone that is MORE of a Halo fanatic than I am....That being said you are losing your hardcore fans....sure your gaining bad kids back from call of duty that wouldnt be able to tell you that Master Chiefs real name is John but who the -blam!- cares? You guys are always saying that your about the community and that you make the games for your fans...........unfortunately that Hasn't been true since Halo 3 released......you guys completely slacked off and turned H3 into a game for nubs...I mean one of your main strategies was to use Big Team as a Big Bad ass playlist......but what did it turn out to be? I giant waste of everyone's time none enjoyed it nobody wants it back,You guys have turned into every other corporation in the world you release a shabby product to a fanbase that is gigantic because of your older work and they eat it like candy.....until you decide that hey we are going to release some stuff that should Have been include on the game disc and we are going to make it 20 more dollars......sure you can say that you wanted to make it free but big bad Microsoft wouldn't let you but we all know it is a lie.....what makes that situation any different than all the maps you released for Halo 2? how many of those were free right off the bat? Exactly you guys have absolutely no comments to this.I have a feeling this will be removed and i will probably be blacklisted again but I dont care If i can get one person to read this and realize that you guys are just money grubbing -blam!-s then my job is done.Or you guys could read this and instead of trying to deflect what Im saying you could do something about it.Im serious bungie you might think your doing fine with the fanbase but tell me this are you doing as well as you were at the Halo 2 1 year mark?I highly doubt it.........Your losing your fans because you guys just dont care anymore..............instead of releasing things that noone wants just because it was easier to do than something we did want just take the time and do it right give us what we want.......dont keep giving us inferior products an expect us to stay on your side............hopefully somebody at bungie realizes what I am saying is tru and does something about it..I just hope to god that you guys didnt wait to long to split from under Bill Gates thumb. One last thing I was and am one of if not the most devoted fan you guys have and I will continue Playing Halo 3 just like alot of your other fans..........but soon....most likely very soon.................everyones going to leave and they wont come back.

Yes, and also running the flag or ball where you pick it up and drop it to move faster will get you banned. Anything that is strategic or takes skill is considered cheating and will cause you to be banned. Don't even try 4shotting someone. Of course with this you probably are cheating with the impossibly inconsistant br.

..really? I guess it is unfortunate that I actually care that a franchise and company I love is going down the drains, but alas I guess it is immature to try to open bungie's and other peoples eyes to the fact that the quality of their game/content is decreasing.



Oh by the way if you REALLY want maturity how's this AT LEAST I AM MATURE ENOUGH AND OLD ENOUGH TO BUY HALO 3 MYSELF INSTEAD OF HAVING MOMMY AND DADDY GET IT FOR ME.............don't confuse my compassion for immaturity I'm sorry I don't strain myself to look nice on forums.Now instead of everyone sucking up to bungie why don't we all make them realize that they don't defecate gold(and I use the word defecate because I don't want to seem "immature") and that they need to make better products.Seriously instead of actually READING what I wrote you decided to take the bits and pieces that were anger and turn them into something to bash my character.Just look at bungie's recent works and tell me truthfully they haven't declined in quality .If you can do that your either blind or your choosing not to see.

Ok first if I have a bad connection could it be mistaken as cheating. and second do base your bans on rep on XBL if so what if I for example I was playing a game so well that someone gave me bad rep then I got banned. Also why do cant we just fill up games with guests that are not their is that a whole EXP issue. and one last thing can you give an estimated release date for the new maps so I can get my points before then. Thanks GT: Mr rok n roll.

To an extent i agree. love you though bungie.

Umm I have a question. I have a horrible habit of starting MM and then walking away from my controller to go do something else. Will this get me banned?
