I think the fact that the default objects are automatically put into the budget, no matter if they're actually on the map or not, is stupid. :\ Otherwise, a good update. Can't wait for next week.

I'm lovin it, can't wait to hear more about ODST though.

A second budget? Forging on SB is going to suck (for those that "forge").

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.

Beautiful!

I am one of those jerks who will be swinging his balls around peoples' faces in joy!

Call it a forgery t-bag, if you will...

Get it? Balls in your face?

Those Killballs will be really useful.

Interesting. Sandbox sounds like it's going to turn out to be a forger's paradise. I'm glad I'll be one of the first to see it, since I was going to get the Limited Edition Halo Wars anyway.

Wow everyone answered fast. Ive been waiting all day to be on the front page. Lol I walked away for one second and missed it. Oh well, great update Bungie. Can't wait to play Sandbox.

But to complete the tea-bag, you must put your kill balls in a bag. Otherwise, it should be known as, "Ball Jiggle in People's Faces."

After Halo Wars LCE hits retailers, your wait won't be too much longer than the span of time between the Gettysburg's departure for Earth to warn of the Covenant invasion and Regret's slipspace jump out of the skies above New Mombasa.

So the maps should be on the marketplace a little over 1 month and 1 week after Halo Wars is released? A little bit after April 10?

More MAC gun references? :)

Why the hell would there be a secondary budget? Why the HELL would they put that in? It's like they're TRYING to mess it up.


There has always been a secondary budget. They were just trying to let everyone know of it's existence beforehand so you can make the most out of your maps.

Glory to Jesus Christ

After doing a little research, it looks like those who don't get Halo Wars LCE will be waiting around a month and a half (got from the Gettysburg and Prophet of Truth attack Earth comparison). Thanks for the info.

Good update!

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

Why say "three brand new exclusive maps"?

Why not just say Heretic, Longshore and Citadel?

I'm always getting confused about the Mythic Map pack contents and the Mythic Maps total number.

Our destiny is not frightful because it is unreal, it is frightful because it is irreversible and iron-clad. Time is the substance I am made of. Time is a river which sweeps me along, but I am the river. It is a tiger which destroys me, but I am the tiger. It is a fire which consumes me, but I am the fire.

Grifball on Sandbox???? YAY!

I don't want random messages (ie, Join my group, etc). I have begun blocking solicitations.

So is the situation with the default objects and the OLN a bug you guys couldn't figure out how to fix?

Regarding the OLN. It will certainly separate the serious Forgers from the also rans.

Move everything first! Whoa!

I'm up for it.

Sandbox is Awsome.

SWAT and griffball, seems some of the harder new achievements will not be so hard after all.

That second budget has always been there. Just like how you can only have 8 rockets or 4 power drains on the already released maps.
