Try out my map variation out of Rat's Nest: Hangar 92!

I gotta tell Bungie another idea they could put into Halo 3 and the Recon - you should give us options to change the colors of the visors! There would be only a few colors though, I mean that you couldn't put black visors. What do you guys think?

Urk the Red, dude I played you you in matchmaking I for no reason looked at your service record before the game and you had recon. Its funny because i usually never look at service records. Then i told my friend and you muted me lol.

Wish Halo 3 PC would come out sooner... :(

Bungie:
Can we have Recon campaign available to download for Halo 3?

Theres really no point for some of us to buy a New game,
when we can download them for Halo 3.

Nice up date but I have a question too. I don't have the best connection to Xbox live and sometimes I get kicked out of the game not for betrayals or anything like that I just get kicked and it counts as me quitting but I didn't quit. My question is with the banhammer banning so much will I get banned for "quitting" games because I don't have a good connection?

I'm like a whisper in the wind.

Thank You Marty for allowing us to download the ¨Prepare To Drop¨ tune for free!
You are the Man!

I noticed that ¨Prepare To Drop¨ is 1:17 long despite the fact that the tune itself is more like 1:12 long. I guess that 117 reference was too temptingly close to be missed.

And... Oh yes... Greetings ¨Urk¨. Welcome aboard!

Grifball weekend stinks !! To many losers betrying because they can't get booted. I find this weekend a waste of time and boring. Having said that thanks for being creative and putting up new games to play, most of the time the 2XEXP weekends are great.

Alot of my friends are mixed up about the achievments stating the mythic map packs will have forge (so they must be multiplayer maps) but they will have skulls (so they must be on campain). Care to elaborate?

Here's another question for you Luke, will we be able to get a beta test, like with Halo 3? If not, can we at least get a cookie.
Also, if this has already been asked, I just read the first 5 comments from the first page. I don't like to read.

Get WorkPLaced!!

Oh snap, did anyone else notice that the MP3 was one minute and seventeen seconds?
Crazy huh? Spartan 117, and 1:17?
Coincidence or clever ploy?

  • 10.19.2008 7:43 PM PDT

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Greets to the new guy and the Q&A made me giggle; not a full out guffaw mind you, but those are rare anyways.

Thanks Marty! \m/

Today on Monsterquest- the Chupathingy is examined.

By the way, Nice going Bungie!!! WOOT! Once again, you F%#*^& things when you try to make them better. I tried to find a FOUNDRY CANVAS the other day on here. Guess what? Google came up with better links than Bungie's official website. Wow.

Ok Bungie here is my opinion: You should let J.J. Abrams do the Halo Movie, he has a great background; Cloverfield (Movie), Lost (T.V. Show) and more... and the only actor who could fit the M.C. is Bruce Willis.

That's all i've got to say, now i'm feel better :p


Go! Bungie Go! :p

LOL!!!111!11!!!

Benaiah went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion.

Thanks Marty!


Thanks also for the excellence of the Halo 3 soundtrack album. When I finally finished the fight, and it was in the wee hours of the night, the menu music came on and it was a very solemn experience (for a video game especially, a credit to the story telling ability of Bungie). You really captured that experience in the lineup on the H3 album. Never Forget is one of my favorite Halo tracks.

im tired of bungie keeping everything a secret. why cant they be out in the open about their games like EPIC. thats why halo3: recon sucks, and gears of war 2 is going to kick bungie in their balls (really hard)... i am not going to buy Recon. i'll be too busy chainsawing people in half.

  • 10.20.2008 9:51 AM PDT

THANKS FOR THE MP3 MR.MARTY 'O' DONALD =D

Sigh* Somebody always makes this comparison... Hey thanks for the music Marty, no disrespect meant in using your first name like I know you lol, I would probably mess up your last name and that would be worse. Back to the subject, yes Gears 2 will be great I'm sure, but Recon can be great too! Why does there have to be a side-by-side, or one ring to rule them all? There's plenty of fun stuff out there, not just one game. Just sayin'...

Loving the attention you're NOT giving your piss poor matchmaking system, the lag, and -blam!-s who still browse/play Halo 3 every day. Also love how you guys act like complete -blam!- when answering honest questions from fans in Q&A regardless if they sound stupid or not by internet lingo or typos, or whatever.

You all used to be respectable; now you're just all snide, egotistical pricks. Thank GOD I love your game Halo 3.

Great update, however I had a question that I did not see answered. All people who play Halo 2&3 should already know that ODST's have on energy shield system, and maybe 9 or 10 shots on an ODST is enough to kill one (even less on harder difficulty's) So.... will the health system for Halo 3 Recon be like Halo 1's helath bar.... or, Halo 2&3's "Swat" styled health system. One more thing..... some have said this will be a squad based shooter. If it is, can you give your squad commands, like cover, attack, move to, regroup, and so on?

  • 10.20.2008 7:07 PM PDT

ok does anyone else see the ODST helmet in the background in the left corner he looks like he is saluting i just realized that so sorry if it has already been found i just saw it

  • 10.20.2008 8:18 PM PDT

Bah.

Thanks, Marty!
