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

Ranked Standoff Heavy going to be removed?!?

Damn. Well hey, could you at least replace it with maps like Rat's Heavy Nest and Heavy Resort. Heavy Resort could have the vehicles Zanzibar had - Gauss Warthog and a Scorpion, in their original places. Rat's Heavy Nest could have Gauss Warthogs, flamethrower in the middle, Ghosts and a Chopper in the middle. Vehicular Manslaughter!

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...



Better bone up on your history.


History? Really... Grown into those big britches haven't we...
I remember being here on B.net before you...
I remember when Frankie was hired on and we got the IM message back and forth
"you-and-i-iz-sooo-cool'.
I remember the "Top 10 ways to make Halo 2 better"
Did the corporate machine castrate your objectiveness?

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



Dude, shut the -blam!- up, it was a joke.

  • 10.25.2008 5:43 AM PDT

If that conversation on the front page is real look how fast luke types compared to urk. Luke is Urk's Frankie.

  • 10.25.2008 6:16 AM PDT

Great Scott!

I'm going to play Fable II 'till Frankie joins Bungie again!Or until Team Snipers/Shotty Snipers are gone.I let my team down in those ones.













This was a joke by the way.Though the part about letting my team down on TS and SS is true.

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

Thanks for the update and "butter face" still makes me LOL.

im sorry but hearing that a .50 caliber sniper (the kind invented to take down tank treads beleive) is being slowed down just sounds like a bad idea. i can't think of any reason why this would be. i thought you guys would favor worldly concepts over minor gameplay.

it's hard enough to snipe across sandtrap on big team with the lag anyway, doesn't that influence gameplay enough? and on guardian whats the differance because its so close?

why?

  • 10.25.2008 6:37 AM PDT

Don't be sad if a pastor kills you, maybe he will do your funeral for free

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have a HEAVY SETTINGS EXP WEEKEND

Standoff heavy is the first gametype that I have ever liked on Standoff. We would veto every other gametype just to get heavy on Standoff and never did we ever veto it.


Bring back heavy standoff, please.

wow bungie you suck balls. what is the point in makeing a SNIPER rifle a mid to short range weapon????????????? isnt that the point of a SNIPER rifle is to blast peoples heads off a mile away in real life and in the game????? wow bungie you have really messed up halo3 the last updates were a real joke. the only reason i kept playing then was because i could play socail slayer and plays SNIPES. wtf did every programer that made halo and halo2 die and all they could find were stupid people to think of things that could be thrown into halo3 cause this is a joke. im done playing halo after the dumb updates. this summer i finaly get high speed enet i play halo for a month and i get to my 42 i was a grade one in everything, the updates come out and they -blam!- it up i was a 42 in lone wolves. i stopped playing all ranked games cause of how dumb the updates were. i sent you some hate mail on those to, so you can go back and look at what i sent you. but i just want to say that bungie you suck.

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.


That calls for a ride in the ROFLcopter. SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI!

BTW, Nice update.

Congrats to Marty and his daughter on her big day. My sister got married just last weekend so I know it can be stressful but I hope everything goes smoothly and I wish them both (bride and groom) many years of love and happiness.

And with that...

It's your wedding day
Your happiness is showing
It's your wedding day
May your love be strong...and growing

Bungie, -blam!- give up already. The only reason I play Halo 3 anymore is because of Shotty Snipers and Team Snipers variants in Team/Social Slayer. So you remove the best part of those playlists but yet you keep worthless ones like duals and rockets? Pathetic, absolutely terrible.

  • 10.25.2008 10:18 AM PDT

Anyone fancy a vindaloo?

A grandiose update! I especially love how you intentionally scared the gummybears out of all the sniper-fiends! I bet you'll be hearing the panic for a week. LOL!
I'm sure the sniper playlist will make it up to them.
Turkey day is looking sweet, but I'm still waiting for a real Action-Sack style playlist. Could we get something like that into the Double-XP mix, si'l vous plait?

Congratulations to Marty on the occasion of his daughter's wedding!

Somebody call the Whaaaaaaaaamublance!!

I' am so sick of people complaining about Bungie ruined Halo, the BR, etc. Hey idiot(s), instead of -blam!-ing about how you think that bungie ruined Halo, why won't you get freaking used to it. I mean a player with REAL skill would adapt to changes to that is made to the playing field. Nope you cry like three-year-olds and constantly whine about it on the forums! I mean Halo 3 is a different game, it shouldn't be just like the one that came before it.

If you like Halo 2 so damn much, then PLAY F***ING HALO 2! FYI, Xbox Live still supports it!

This is my message to the whinny Halo 2 MLG vags out there who constantly complains about this.

TAKE YOUR HALO 3 DISKS, BREAK IT IN HALF, AND SHOVE THE PEICES UP YOUR ARSE. THEN GO PLAY HALO 2 AS THEY SHREAD YOUR INSIDES! FINALLY, GO LEAVE US HALO 3 PLAYERS IN PEACE!!

BTW, If Bungie ONLY caters to the MLG, THEN Halo 3 would be ruined. The day that happens I'll do the above, but play CoD4. I say that because IT"S NOT GOING 2 HAPPEN!! GET F***ING USED TO IT!

Bungie, don't listen to them! You are doing a GREAT job taking care of your IPs!

*Takes a deep calming breath*

To the forum ninjas;
Forgive the flame, that was building ever since launch.
