Bring Back Headlong!
Best Halo 2 Map Ever!

Posted by: Yo Erk
Glad to see that Griffball will be back this month.

Team Snipers I guess it will be cool. I never really participate that much during the double EXP weekends but, damn right I'm going to check it out.

Speaking of snipers. I find it a little weird slowing down the bullet speed to match that of a Br. I just always thought a .50 cal was supposed to be faster and more powerful. Hey, but if it keeps me from getting sniped so much then kudos!!!

Recon news??? Yeah keep us waiting. No really! I'm getting older now and I like the suspense.

Dude read again the sniper thing was a joke...

Also TEAM SNIPERS! I <3 You bungie!

you make me want to cry with how much you -blam!- up halo. starting with the stupidest idea, equipment, and then -blam!- up the sniper with recoil, then -blam!- up the beat down system, then -blam!- up lockout, then -blam!- up the sniper again.

why dont you get it through your -blam!- filled heads that you should appeal only to the MLG audience and make a purely competitive game that leaves nothing to chance and everything to skill. but no, you -blam!- that up too.

WHY KILL THE SNIPER??? DO YOU HAVE ANY REASON?!?!!? PM me with a -blam!- reason cuz i want to hear it


I -blam!- HATE BUNGIE

EDIT:

kk i see the sniper thing was a joke, but i still hate bungie for equipment, lockout, the beat down system, and everything else they have -blam!- up.

I STILL HATE BUNGIE WITH A PASSION

Snipers taken out of social and ranked???

Just when I was getting good, now I have to learn how to survive a sniper game against people who are great at it, while earning skill?

I remember I played this one Team Sniper game on Blackout back when DLC Slayer was around, and this 46 Skill Major's team all quit on him and it was 4 on 1, and when I quit the game the Major was ahead of us 24-1.

That guy could no-sco like a mo fo.

That game was in June or July of this year, in case you want to verify it, on my Deuce S Wilder account.

I openly welcome the new Snipers play list coming, only because it means we don't have to play it in Slayer anymore. Thank you.

If you look at this stuff....go to a park or something else active

Looks like a whole lot is being done on H3R! Those bridges to nowhere sound fun! Just don't like put invisible barriers everywhere like what you did with the Legendary Map Pack...on Avalanche you blocked sooooooooo many places off with invisible barriers...

Monday is a horrible way to spend 14.3 % of your life.

Cool stuff, but still no podcast...I guess they're too busy working on those mystery projects. Here's hoping for one next week!

All I can say is thank you for the upcoming Team Snipers Ranked Playlist. I'm sure many smiles will emerge on faces who had lost hope in the playlists. XD

YAAAY!
Next thing we need to do is make snipers semi-automatic and increase the ammo clip to 72.

Listen kid and all you H3 players who play this game JUST for fun. I also like to play this game competitively and I dont have to be good at it to like it, Im just saying that everybody had high hopes for this AU2 update including myself, but it was just improving the lobby go faster/add new achievements/add new ranking system. So it was only an ADD-ON update wich hurts the people who like to play this game competitively not only just for fun. I was expecting improving the BR (at least getting the randomness away - quote lukems 'randomness isnt good for any competitive game' in bungie update about the much more broken melee system before AU1), more costums options and more forge options. At least improving current forge system (wich will be happening in H3:recon, but whatever).

@ XxLightkunxX

The Double reloading glitch is when you press the reload buttong on youre controller, the game will reload your weapon with obviously new ammo, but after the reloading is done (like rockets or sniper bullets), the ammo will dissapear and the game or you will have to reload again(!). I had it happening TWICE in one mlg game and it made me miss my triple even overkills with the sniper or rockets doesnt matter. Its just flat out annoying and its not even fixed after one wholy -blam!-IN year.

I also forgot to say bullets dropping is the most annoying problem in this game. We all know lag, but bullets dropping on LAN is just sad and I dont care how many time bungie put into this game, it has so much flaws it makes me so SICK. I see sniper bullets going through heads on LAN. Also, I dont know why, but these problems are now happening a lot since the AU2. The sword is also acting strange...

After 5000+ games, I had enough. And this time, I mean it.

Gow2/Fallout 3, here I come!


Lukems, will you be -blam!- and ignore these questions like the way the presidential candidates ignore the questions asked to them, or are YOU FIXING THE PROBLEMS AS WE SPEAK! Also, I am having a LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE THEATER LOBBY. I can't watch movies with friends and its pissing me off. Please at least begin fixing these issues. Thanks, and I wouldn't even mind getting banned from Bdotnet for writing in all caps if THIS CAUGHT YOUR ATTENTION!


The theatre problem is probably completely connection based (you are responsible for your internet connection). and i have never had the double reload thing happen to me before.

Note:Unashamedly taken from Luke Smith's battle cries.

Pain leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate...leads to suffering. I'm starting the cycle Bungie. I think there should be a suspension of weekly updates and there should be a move towards monthly updates. That's the only way I think I will ever be satisfied with these.
