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.

Really Lukie... That's it? Did you start your weekend celebrating a little early today? A couple of photo's from B-Favs, a copy and paste from shiska's email about the playlist update,
and a "so-and-so is taking a dump right now, a dump to nowhere"
and you Shiska... Just because there is a snipers playlist doesn't mean I don't mind playing it once in a while in social slayer...C'mon now.
other than that... the usual mysterious ramblings...


The updates will remain short from now till ages from now.
We're going back to the roots.
Back to the origins.
Better bone up on your history.


Screw him - I liked the update

Short and sweet ones are always best so we can get back to playing

ow and another thing.

AU2 SUCKS ASS! It was just an pethatic(!) add-on, every stupid glitch is still here. We have the double reloading glitch since the release and costum and forge options still has there troubles. Thanks for the new ranking system, though. It helps this game alot. /sarcasm.

now im done. didnt feel to edit my other post.


What is this double reload glitch I keep hearing about?

And kudos to you, lukems, for publicly acting like an ass. You guys at Bungie must really love yourselves to keep making -blam!- photoshop pics with the group.

Although one thing: thank -blam!- god for getting rid of Team Shotty Snipes. I really hated that gametype and having to deal with cocky jerks no-scoping someone who's easily THREE FEET away from you.

Here is a GREAT idea for a SHORT update. ONE picture of any one of the new maps. That alone would be better than you writing. Im just surprised that you didnt mention eating pizza etc.

Oh, and for Thanksgiving I want a 'cake made of pies' playlist.

In a concerted effort to rebalance the fun we’re slowing down the Sniper Rifle projectile so that it the race between a Sniper Round and a Battle Rifle bullet trifecta is a dead heat. Additionally, we’ve added a spread mechanic to Sniper Rifle rounds. The Sniper Rifle is now a short to mid-ranged weapon with a super powerful scope.

Ok so it seems that the sniper rifle is similar to the br, but with more power? Lol. I still dont get how a sniper is a close rane weapon. Anyway i will just have to wait until november to find out.

Did you not actually read the update? They said it was a joke. Multiple times. They even has asterisks to tell you it was a joke at the bottom of the page.

So what would the ratio of time spent photoshopping to time spent writing be?


Dunno, probably less than you spent reading - since I didn't do the photoshop. Troll fail.


But I wasn't trying to troll! I enjoyed the photoshop and the update.

Also Bungie.....sniper? Close-to-mid-range? We already have too many -blam!-s no-scoping people in games to LOOK COOL; let's feed their ego a little more shall we?

Just realized that apparantly it was a joke.

This only happened because I skipped over the useless banter you guys write for updates that don't relate to the games......or anything else that has been repeated so many times.

Ok. I was glad that there is a new playlist just of snipers. Thats one less power weapon i need to worry about with team slayer.
But seriously....Making a sniper rifle a CLOSE to MID range weapon? Whats the go there bungie? From what i know a sniper rifle is a LONG range weapon.
I wat more details on this. Hopefully it won't affect my long range sniping on Big Team battles etc.


You failed the test.
You failed SO hard.

Rofl. I was so devestated when I say that. Then I read on and I was so joyful. I'm glad I passed instead of posting right after seeing that. Thanks again for Team Snipers. I see why you took out Snupers from normal slayer now.
