ANyways... If any read the humpday challange at the very end you would see that next weeks humpday will be playedon new maps.... The humpday challenge is on Wednessday... So, the new maps will be out by then...

Posted by: Bungie

Stay tuned next week for a super special edition of the Humpday Challenge. It will be played here in the studio, face-to-face with our opponents, on new maps!


Well, no, because they are playing in the offices, meaning they are probably playing over system link, because if they were playing over live, they wouldn't have invited people in.... Thus, the new maps will be coming AFTER Wednesday's HumpDay Challenge, because when the game stats are uploaded, the game viewer will have screenshots of almost every angle of the maps, so therefore the new maps are coming sometime in the next 2 weeks im guessing.

Well, I'm a little disappointed that they didn't implement any changes on the plasma pistol / battle rifle combo, but still a good update.

I was just wondering with the increase in new maps will the Setinal Beam and Brute Plasma Rifle now become defaults in these new additions? I'd like to be able to play with them in matchmaking without it having to be fiesta or in a custom default game. Please let them have a chance!

Yah! Grenades have a use now! It's always been annoying to know that if you ever throw a frag grenade in a battle, it doesn't kill them, and you can't start shooting again or throw another nade before someone who is dual wielding kills you! Allright! No more spray and pray!

Don't call me a blam, I joined sometime in december, but I post every day!!! I have created 2 succesful groups so far and am on B.Net more than I am on Halo 2, so don't go making assumptions you idiot!

I believe bungie is changing to many things. i don't have a problem with cheating fixes and fixing flag bounces and grabbing the flag through walls. I don't like the other things like lowering the damage on the smg,plasma rifle combo. I am really good player, on the leaderboards i'm in the top 50 in rumble pit-Hal0chi3f217 and I am used many aspects of the game. Bungie is changing to many things jump melees are going to be instant kills that is stupid. Only strong weapons like the rocket or the bruteshot should be able to do that, which is already in place. Grenades that are also going to be stronger that is going to ruin Halo2. Noobs will just be able to through random grenades and get kills. Bungie is making it so noobs can be good. Bungie is ruining the parts of the game that take skill.

How about addressing the Plasma Pistol/ Battle Riffle Combo? The use of these two weapons together seems too powerful. There are few or no weapons that counter this attack. What about making the Plasma Pistol charge less guided?

Why are any of you crying about the powerfulness of the Plasma Pistol? You have no idea what a powerful Plasma Pistol is until you are frozen in space, like the original Halo was. For everything on the map, there has to be something to counter it. And I'm glad the Plasma Pistol takes away all of your Overshield, I believe power-ups are some of the dumbest things in the game. If you need an overshield to kill someone, you might want to rethink your combat style.

I mean the SMG+PR is not that great to begin with (its easy to counter it with such things as PP/SMG) and now they made it WORSE? I mean thats the easy-to-find combo I used which could tear apart BR/PP comboers and SMG/Magnummers... it just had to be used right. It wasn't anything special.
Whats with the downgrade of the pistol? Its not ABUSED at all.. they are so hard to find usually, people barely ever have them. And when they do, they get like 3 kills max and then run out of ammo. Thats complete horse poo.
The grenades were fine as they were. If anything, they should have made the frag. grenades WEAKER. I hate when someone throws two grenades into a room and you die (specially in lockout in that one room). The plasma grenades I understand... there explode time is somewhat long.

If they were going to make a gun stronger why didn't they make the f_cking needler actually worth it? I don't really think Bungie is going to accomplish what they want.... I'm still going to be using PP/BR and Sniper Rifle...and the same old crap I do now...
