Some people are just total noobs at life!

ok. for everyone who says that the OLN thing is a bug its not. bungie put that in there on purpose. i was pretty mad when i read this but NBS Zattura on page 9 cleared it up for me.


but one thing i just wanted to say is i hope bungie isnt planning to count the map packs they include with the games toward the price of ODST bc that would kinda be bull crap for those of us who alrdy paid for them. i dont wna have to pay for an alrdy overpriced map pack twice.

(read all the comments, including detailed explanation of OLN on page 9, so having said that do not regurgitate the old "oln has always been there tripe.")

EPIC FRICKING FAIL BUNGIE!

you guys are a bunch of sheep, seriously. first, the maps were due in november, but somehow bungie didn't realize that microcrap would shoot them in the foot by telling them when they could put up their own stuff. please bungie, DON'T bother finding out when you can actually release the maps BEFORE you tell us.

it was suppossed to be six maps, now it's 3 maps plus 6 months before the other 3, on top of THAT if you don't have halo wars, you have to wait an ADDITIONAL month before you can play an already very late set of maps. (Nice way to shoot yourself in the foot, so much for momenteum.) this is why so many ppl don't play as much, there wasn't that much fallout between heroic and legendary. can you say the same now? no.

and now we have the creme da la creme of fail, the main point of this post. doesn't anyone remember last weeks update? does the phrase LIMITLESS mean anything to anyone here?! i know that bungie reads alot of forums, but that doesn't mean, AS A BUSINESS, that you should adopt "733T 5p3ak" as a business model, where bad means good,and a few months turns into over a year for all of them. (maps)

i know the fanboys will crucify me, but could someone who gives a damn about the game remind bungie they are suppossed to be a BUSINESS and to get their head out of their asses when it comes to pissing off their customers during a recession?!

damn.

Ok, lemme try and discuss this... the maps were never given a specific date for November, let alone 2008 as i recall.

So what if people don't buy Halo wars? No-ones forcing them too, so enough with this 'making money' crap, you don't have to spend the cash if you don't want too, Besides Bungie is a game studio (yes, and a Business), and if they have one thing in common with other studios its that their employee's get paid- so yes Bungie does make money from it, like anyone does in any career.

The whole idea of releasing three maps now and three maps later is to keep both Halo 3 and Matchmaking new and fresh. As well as the fact that the three other maps for all we know are nowhere near completion- ask yourself this- would you rather wait till fall for all six maps? Or take three now?

Limitless? Find one game you can define limitless within the bounds of customisation. These new maps (especially Sandbox) are the result of careful planning on how much information and objects can be siphoned out of your game disc and harddrive and put into play simitaneously.

I'm confused about the whole leet speak thing- your upset Bungie takes time to communicate with the fans? Case closed.

I'm not a fanboy, I'm just tired of seeing Bungie and the forums as the dumpsite for everyones problems..... There's a reason the sandbag was developed....

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Killballs eh? Well I would have called them "Deathticles" but that's just me.

  • 02.09.2009 5:17 AM PDT

"Whaddya need that for, Stranger? Goin' Elephant huntin' or somethin'?"

So, I'll assume that "forging on a budget" goes for all prior maps as well (i.e. Foundry) Which comes a s a dissappointment to me considering that my "foundry Canvas" has always been a go-to for me. I hadn't realized that I could have been getting more out of forge.

Whoever's idea killballs were, they are now my favourite bungie employee!

Shishka has now shown us how to be jerks with them,
He should make a group, how to be a jerk with a kill ball !!!!!!!!

By the way, with killballs can you edit their size to make them even more destructive?

There's nothing better than a well-chucked norris... I mean nade.


We also wanted to let you in on a little trick we learned. It turns out that all the default objects on Sandbox are automatically and irrevocably factored into the OLN. That means that if you delete them and create a blank "canvas," you won't be reclaiming those objects and you'll ultimately hit your OLN value long before you really should.


Way to half-ass it.

sandbox sounds great and all... but for those "hardcore forgers" like me, we really don't agree on 2 budgets; that would just screw things up for us?

I was dissapointed at first hearing there was only 2 kill balls and the whole oln thing but now I dont care as much. I just read the new article at ign and the sky bubble sounds awesome. Now I cant wait to get the mythic map pack.

I know you said that the new maps will be released with halo wars and you can get the maps, standalone, at a tba date. If you dont purchase Halo Wars, will the new map pack be available before ODST comes out in the fall?

thanks

  • 02.09.2009 4:55 PM PDT

Fish + Barrel = ? Sounds cool!

  • 02.09.2009 6:47 PM PDT

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

so all the maps will come with ODST? this is starting to worry me wont this bring up the price of the game? I mean u guys already said its more than an expansion I cant see this being much lower than sixty dollars
