BUNGiE needs to put Snipers back in Social Slayer. Not everyone likes to play only ranked snipers. Sometimes its fun to just play snipers with guests in the playlist. Really think about it BUNGiE. Snipers in Social Slayer was a very fun playlist. Please put it back in.

RIP Deathpimp72 - A friend, a brother, a man who will never be forgotten. This place isn't going to be the same without you.

RIP ~B.B.

The fact that we haven't seen an answer to the "What happens to my DLC BTB exp" question concerns me a little bit...

EDIT: Oops! Nevermind! Apparently I missed it.

Nothing happens to it. Changing DLC BTB is considered a migration and not a removal, so we're not touching its leaderboard.

Why are you even looking at my forum signature? Are you that bored?
Well, check this stuff out: Service Record , File Share , Career Stats

Wonderful!
Glad Social BTB is coming back.
Although I'm not sure what to think about the 5v5 in Social.

Not a fan of the 5v5 social slayer, Push to talk is FTL

Rebellion in small things to let the world know I haven't surrendered.

What's the deal with putting community made levels into Ranked Games? I'm talking about Anvil, in Lone Wolves (not mentioned in this update). It was abit irritating to be thrown on a completely unknown (and not very good) level during my fight in increase my skill level.
Anyway, I think it will be a good idea to remove/move the DLC playlist.

Oh man! Hard and fast, I won't take my information any other way.

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.

While I don't necessarily agree with that response, I would like to say that it's interesting that he can afford an Xbox 360, a copy of Halo 3, AND an Xbox Live Gold subscription-but not a hard drive.

5. Quitting: Only in moderation
There are plenty of totally valid reasons to quit. For example, if you're on fire. Or, if your mother is on fire. Or, even if your dog is setting your mother on fire. However, these things come with statutes of limitations. For quitting, if you do it so often that we recognize it as bad behavior, you're risking the wrath of the Banhammer. - Shishka

This looks suspiciously like a clue to help solve the Secret of Sandtrap™. One step closer.


Wait, what? What does weather have to do with Sandtrap? Oh, and that little (TM) after Secret of Sandtrap reminds me of The Love Guru.

you need to fix how the system thinks your cheating because you win a lot. i have 82 wins straight in slayer on another account and it's a level 12. i really don't feel like losing to gain levels. that sounds pretty stupid to me.

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

Good update. Hope you all had good holidays.

One question:
If DLC BTB is just being renamed does that mean my experience will transfer over?

  • 01.02.2009 11:05 PM PDT

blaze 1 for yasenses

Bungie what the -blam!- is your problem? Team snipers sucks because of not having a secondary weapon The only way to fix this is beam rifle secondary. Do you not understand the problem?

It means a lot to hardcore players, which is the playlist's category, to scope out quickly.

IT MEANS A LOT.

-blam!- DO SOMETHING!

  • 01.02.2009 11:17 PM PDT

So, if DLC FFA and Rumble Pit are merged, and it looks like your keeping the name Rumble Pit...does that mean the ranking in FFA is gone?

Cause that....sucks. For me anyway

  • 01.02.2009 11:34 PM PDT

There's not a whole lot you really need to know about me, but if you're passing by and you need something to do, check out my Fileshare on Halo 3.

Download the Custom Map, "Madhouse," and the gametype you need to play it with, "PuzzlePro." It's a puzzle map, and although I don't give out hints anymore, I have no doubt that you'll figure it out eventually... :)

Urk, you sly dog you...

Ah well, I for one was extremely pleased with this update. I don't think there was one piece of Matchmaking information that I wasn't happy to see, a lot of which were changes or updates that weren't even a blip on my Update Radar. All in all, welcome back Bungie; I hope you guys had a great Holiday break and you continue to crank out Weekly Updates of this magnitude throughout the rest of the freaking awesome 2009 year to come.

Thanks for starting the first Weekly Update of the New Year on the right foot, and as always...
You guys rock.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

Exactly Bungie! They only way to fix team snipers is to start with a secondary weapon that since the day Halo 3 hit shelves has been a true starting weapon! Listen this poster, he has a great idea.

There is a movie about nixon, It seemed like it was 3 hours of straight nixon action. Sometimes you can have too much nixon.

Are we going to see the Legendary Map Pack for free in the near future?


I would assume so. Previous DLC usually goes free right before new DLC comes out. Like Heroic before Legendary. Mythic comes out with Halo Wars LCE on March 3rd so....I would say around there, because I think it will be two weeks after that when Mythic become available for download.

Oh yeah, we've got it now. I just can't control myself right now because Luke gave us this cryptic bit of information.

I'm your huckleberry.

Sigh. The changes to Team Objective are not enough to save it. If there absolutely must be round-based (separate Offense and Defense) games in the rotation, then they should ALL skip on veto, guaranteeing either Multi Flag CTF or Neutral Assault. In my experience, it's the round-based games along with unfair matchups that cause people to quit...

It's the "Weekly Update" on the "Bungie Blog". No where does it say anything about this being "news". Except maybe the little heading on top that says "News", but that's not the point. :)

uh-oh...I was going to use my DLC Big Team to get my 7 on the 7th

will the XP for that playlist be migrated as well, or will it be reset?

cool, SBT is back then?
