No social doubles, still have objective in TD, and 5v5 social slayer? nooooooooooo


Multi Team would be better than social doubles.

It would be nice to see Bungie actually fix something important instead of just adding and deleting things from the hopper.

I haven't played HALO 3 in a while. I decided to play it the other day, and saw the same crap as before. The worst LAG in a video game ever. <~~Maybe that should be an award for accomplishments of 2008.

No changes have been made to fix the issues that have been in the game since the beginning and its a horrible thing to see such a great company not fix the important issues in something they created.

FIX THINGS THAT NEED FIXING! DON'T JUST PAINT OVER THEM!!

"If you fight it, you become it."

I don't think people appreciate Shishka enough for the work he does down at Bungie studios. Shishka, this was an awesome update, even with the terrible weather in Seattle and Christmas about. Great job, I hope to see more in the future. -CB

What do youy people suppose the "community maps" will be? I'm guessing Gridlocked will be one of them, because it's the one of the best CTF maps to date.

i dont know maby its just me,but, i dont have a hard drive [that means i have no DLC ] and my choices for playing is getting smaller.

since i found that you can play multi team on foundry [if you have the maps]
why not make another ranked playlist able to be played with no DLC required.

it would help the nation rank up because if you got 34 HS in lone wolves and you get heroic map pack with your new hard drive how are you going to get to 34 in this time.

which means well be stuck at our current rank for the time it took to get to 34
Maby even longer!

Im just saying make 1 other playlist available so that people with no hard drive can play with regular maps on the other playlists

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Aww!

Bungie i understand you made the best fist person shooter but again i am upset with your changes to the playlist. I don't agree with you making KOTH, Odball, and basically narrowing out objective on multi-team. This is one of my favorite playlists, but again you listen to the slayer newbs who cannot figure out objective games. Secondly, JUGGERNAUT needs to come in to the picture!! It has been played so much from Halo and Halo 2!! it is amazing!!
Thirdly, You need to put in some completely new games types, e.g. influencial VIP and Escort!! THese games take skill and coordination which make the game better thus increasing the life span of the game!!!

From my experience Halo 3 is only laggy when a person in the game has a poor connection. I rarely ever have any lag in matchmaking. Also if you have ever played Gears of War you will know that it has much lag problems that dwarf those of Halo : ) Atleast in my experience.

Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.

The left stick?! This is also more proof that Shishka has no taste.

I want to personally thank Bungie and rescind all my former complaints about avalanche coming up so much in big team. Thank you for fixing my favorite playlist!

A couple questions though, how will xp be carried over if at all in the playlist changes and how many people will be in the new rumble pit, 6 or 8?

Nice update.

But
There is one thing I don't understand. Why is everyone so happy about Big Team Social when we already have Big Team DLC? There is virtually no difference.

For the love of god... Please stop the objective crap on team doubles and stick to slayer on team doubles!!!!!!!

  • 01.03.2009 4:17 PM PDT

Congratulations! You found where the signatures are hidden!!

Does this mean PTT for customs will be 6 as well? (or am I missing something - is there a way to get rid of the PTT altogether for PTT?)

Life is full of choices. Sometimes you make the good ones, and sometimes you have to kill all the witnesses.

But then you have to pay the liability insurance.

If bungie offered cash with every copy of Halo 3 people would complain about how it was folded *eye roll*

I know I have an issue with my temper and may say and do things in a match that are embarrassing and regretful. I try my best to control it but things tend to get on my nerves...like Armor Lock for example. :P
So if I do do or say something bad, then I'm sorry I didn't really mean it and you should just get over it.
Thank you.

Y'all are bring back the 5v5 social slayer, awesome!
I think it's nice that they are increasing the chat without pushing the d-pad up to 6 per team instead of four. But I'm am afraid of the latency issues it may bring if we talk to much...

Over all, it's a good update!

  • 01.03.2009 9:52 PM PDT

"Seems to me you should spend less time on that article and more time working on that novel you've been working on!!!"

That was a great update, I really learned something. I never knew chat affected bandwidth and lag in games, yet it's so obvious that that piece of plastic called a mic that they give you with that box has to send your speech up to some satellite in space (or on ground, or whatever, far away, roll with me here) and come out the other end on someone else's mic. So when in doubt, mute? If the game is laggy, that will be on my checklist of potential problems. Thanks Bungie!
