Stop arguing over imaginary -blam!-. May as well argue over Santa Claus. There will never be proof that there is/was a god - and before people start saying "HERP DERP PROVE THERE WASN'T ONE ROFLOLOL" well, you are the people who made it up in the first place so we know there isn't one
What created the big bang then? A coalition of genetically modified TR-909s with extra distortion?

My gamertag is Unr3al. I had some trouble setting it up, so I'm just going to say it here.
Killing Spree... Killing Frenzy... Running Riot... Rampage... Untouchable... Invincible... Perfection... LEGENDARY

Is it true that if you get all of the Vidmaster achievments you will get recon? I don't think it's true. And, will the mythic map pack and/or Halo 3 recon cost any money? If it does, how much money?

It seems as if all you are doing lately is just questions and answers.

  • 11.11.2008 7:41 AM PDT


The Mythic Map Pack in question (comprised of Assembly, Orbital and Sandbox) will be included as part of the Limited Edition of Halo Wars. Those are the only Halo 3 maps that will be bundled with Halo Wars.


Please don't insult the intelligence of the questions and then go and provide an equivocal answer such as this. "The Mythic Map in question”? - What is that supposed to mean? Is there more than one mythic map pack? Clearly Heretic, Longshore, and Citadel are identified as "mythic" maps in the achievements. I understand not to expect much information on the new maps in these updates, but with 3 of the mythic maps being released with Halo Wars limited edition, (which should be preordered by one as soon as possible if they want to be sure of procuring a copy) it would only be fair for Bungie to let their customers know now if the other 3 the 6 maps will be available for purchase separately. I'm not asking for details, I just want to know whether or not if one purchased the limited edition of Halo Wars, will one be forced to buy all six new maps in lump package to get the remaining 3, thereby paying for half of them twice.

Legendary Frenzy:
I doubt that you will get recon if you get all the vidmaster achievements. I'm not sure where I heard it, but I believe I saw somewhere that Bungie is making new armor for the vidmaster achievements. So, it probably won't be quite as cool, but hey, new armor is still pretty sweet.
Also, for the second question, I believe that both will cost money. How much is indeed the question. Now, we can assume that Halo 3: recon will probably cost less than Halo 3 as it is just an expansion. However, it is going to include the mythic map pack (but, apparently there are 2 or something, as seen with Halo Wars [which collector's edition contains 3? Unless I'm mistaken]) so that makes the price go up a bit higher. It depends on what Bungie says, entirely, so I'm not going to pretend that I'm one of them. What they say goes. Deal with it, I guess. But an estimate would be around twice as much as the normal map packs for the mythic(s). They might even split it into two so it is quite evident that it costs twice as much. For Halo 3: recon? It will probably end up around $20-40 (USD). I personally am thinking around $30, but it could go higher or lower.
But it would be very kind of bungie if they could clear this up.

You know I think the marine using a tank would kind of take away from the whole stealth thing. Just my thought.

It's likely a "water tank", and not a "battle tank".

Edit: You know, the tanks that contain water...just in case you thought I meant tanks that ride on water ;)

(6:02:58 PM) lukems: how about, “that's what she said."
(6:03:01 PM) Shishka: CONGRATULATIONS, YOU GET RECON
(6:03:04 PM) Shishka: IN FACT, YOU GET EVERYONE'S RECON
(6:03:14 PM) Shishka: WE'RE TAKING RECON FROM EVERY PERSON WITH RECON, AND GIVING IT TO YOU
(6:02:58 PM) lukems: I already have Recon :(


I guffawed quite gloriously. please put this in slightly paraphrased form, onto a t-shirt :P

All the new updates suck so much.
I dont want to hear the childish dialogue just give us updates. That's why you call them updates right?
Your wasting time adding these boring ones cause no one reads them!
Start tellin us -blam!- for once

  • 11.13.2008 1:28 PM PDT

"Malkariss asks: Is there really something hidden on Sandtrap (or any level) or are we wasting time searching in vain?

Next you’re going to want us to tell you about the Forerunners."

Then please, by all means, tell us about the Forerunners. I've looked at every Forerunner related Halopedia article and still can't find anything. But I did learn lots of cool stuff.

P.S. If your answer is gonna be in Latin, at least leave a link to a place where we can translate it.

I read them. And I think they're funny and when it's all cryptic it's really cool. You can't just tell Bungie not to do that anymore.

And sorry for the "doube post."
