WOW! this sucks for people who don't have a hard drive! my friend doesn't have one so he can't download DLC even if it's free! so he won't be able to play like ANYTHING!

There's no point in having a 360 if you don't have a HDD, tell him to get a job.

If he's too young for a job he shouldn't be playing this anyway.

I've already read all of the halo books today you stupid nerd. Plus Halo:Fall of reach twice.

They need to make maps that aren't grossly unfair for the zombies/humans.

I am happy to see the Living Dead playlist is coming back. I am sad to see DLC FFA is going to leave.

DEEP NNN = Depends

Clan 2old2pwn on 2old2play.

Don't let yesterday use up too much of today.

Increasing the Push To Talk limit is nice for sure but can you comment on NXE's party chat's effect, if any, on Halo 3 lag?

a couple questions there shishka,

is the exp going to carry over from all the dlc?
and what happens if btb fails? maybe a infection playlist??
or could u maybe increase weighting of infection?

and 1 last thing- whats the meaning of life?

Dont get too wrapped up in the Internet. It's already forgotten about you.

Team Snipers should have had the following changes:

Motion Sensor = OFF.

I am also still anxiously waiting to see the weighting reduced in Rumble Pit of Swords and Hammer only gametypes... especially when DLC are required.
If DLC is required for Rumble, that pretty much says to me that Rumble isn't for "new" players because true, actual "new" players probably haven't or won't buy the Legendary or Mythic maps.

Ya feel me?

Things have been delayed a bit due to the fight Mother Nature and Father Christmas had here in Seattle, but we kids are resilient and we're still going to fill you in with what's to come, it's just a little bit later than you (and we) would have liked. Better late than never.

Glory to Jesus Christ

Question: I got my Vidmaster Challenge: Lightswitch in DLC FFA. Will removing DLC FFA affect my Achievement, or will I still have it?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks! :-)

I think the push to talk thingey should be an option in private games, I don't care if its enforced in Matchmaking, but it certainly won't stop anybody from just getting in a party and talking. Which ends up just excluding 2 out of the 10 people in the game.

Reach needs to be patched. It's the truth.

Why Bungie. I wanted my DLC Big Team rank to surpass my social slayer rank

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

Social Big team? YES!

big team is the biggest-(litterally) baddest gametype! although i was allready about leutennant in DLC big team, having the oldies maps back is worth it!
just a question- does this mean that the mythic maps will also be needed to play big team when they come out?

Well considering this is the January Update and the mytic map packs won't come out till March, you don't have to worry about it for now as it's not relevent.

Looking forward to another awesome year Bungie! Change is good and it sounds like what was awesome is staying and what was good is just getting better.

I would just like to say that I am disagreeing with the map select for the 7 on the 7th playlist. Last time it was Avalanche I did not get the required exp in that because and only because the map and the game types were not played seriously. If you pick a smaller map it just might lead to productive exp gaining. The month before last, I actually earned 12exp in the 7 on the 7th playlist when it was Blackout but for some reason did not unlock the achievement and with this ever worsening gameplay of the 7 on the 7th playlist I just might never have a chance to get it. I am assuming the picking of Avalanche again is because you just back from your last vacation and had to make a hasty choice before you leave to go on the next one since not many Bungie employees actually work. I hope the next vacation is as good as the last one while your game continues to be filled with errors that you're too busy to fix.

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.

mmmmm changes

yummy yummy changes

I am so psyched about the 6 person push to talk feature. This is going to void a lot of frustration :)
That would've been great before NXE, but the new party system overshadows that awesomeness. Oh well, it'll be easier to talk to strangers!

Oh god, no infection, please.

No offense to the Bungie cartographer, but all the infection maps in matchmaking such, especially Bubonic, Deadlock, and and the Ghost Town one. Please take some of the really amazing community maps out there... You'll use them for CTF, apparently, why not infection?


Its because its not as simple as just taking someone else's map and just placing it in MM Willy-Nilly. They have to make sure it fits standards and though you may argue "BUTZ ALL DA COMUNIDY MAPS BETTER THAN BUNGLE'Z LOLZ" , thats what we feel. Bungie needs to make sure the gameplay in the maps are equally balanced.

  • 01.02.2009 7:41 PM PDT

5v5 Slayer and Objective strictly on DLC maps. Heroic and Legendary map packs required.


Does this mean that both Social Slayer and Social Objective games will only be on DLC maps? No more slayer on the Pit? No more Guardian? No more objective games on Last Resort? I'm confused...

Welcome back Big Team, we missed you!

Once we launch our enemies into the sun, will it get hot enough to make sure no more weather delays?
