well, Bungie, glad to see you dropped the ball on this one, too. Congratulations. Your fans ask you for killzones and filter effects and you give us kill balls... I can't wait to wrack my brain thinking of a way to use those so they can function in a normal map.

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

Is Longshore part of the three exclusive ODST maps?

I came out pretty upset after reading this. Sandbox sounds awesome no doubt. But the only 3 new maps in ODST are Longshore, Citadel and Heretic? Thats it?

Was kinda expecting more new maps with ODST but at least we were informed earlier. I'm still getting the game though since I am still expecting ODST's Single Player to be excellent (As always Bungie) also...I want Survival. Please?

Thank You

If you wish to discuss your map in regards to Blueprint, Fonzes Thread Testers, Halo Legacy, The T00L B0X, or Reach Customs Community message me here on Bungie.net. DO NOT send me a message on Xbox live unless I have arranged it with you already.

37 days!? That's almost two weeks! Assuming September didn't gain a few days after a couple centuries. Well I don't want my faith in Bungie destroyed, I'm blaming Microsoft despite the auspicious inclusion of a '7' in said number. But there is also the wtf on mythic going from 6 to 3 maps, and the OLN not being fixed, but they can't all be Microsoft, Bungie is dropping the ball, which makes me sad, because its the only gaming company I have ever loved. I will be buying Halo Wars, but $20 extra is too steep for a bunch of junk and 3 maps that will cost $10.

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.

Can't wait for the new maps!

No, not good update; this OLN is the worse idea I've ever heard! What was wrong with budget glitching maps? How were we hurting anyone? Do you have any idea how this is going to restrict people?!

I'm making a prediction right now: Foundry and Avalanche shall remain the top forged maps, and we will NOT see any new creative gametypes in Sandbox that cannot be atcheived in the other maps. (Save for a few that utilize the killballs.)

I pray someone discovers a way to glitch this new boundary because it is going to cause so many many problems..... ='(

The restrictions on budgets are put in place to keep the game running at an optimum level, too many items can cause the game to crash. Do you really think a budget of $510, plus items already on the map- is restrictive?

I'm making a prediction myself- within the first 24 hours of the map packs release, 1000+ customized Sandbox maps will be in existence.

My shi­t bacteria takes offense to that comparison.

Don't make me lel. You won't like me when I lel.

if the OLM was such a problem, and the objects on sandbox cannot regain spots by being deleted, why not just fix it so they do??? WTF???

37 days is almost 6 weeks idiot, Mythic comes out in 2 parts of 3, Halo Wars is not junk, download the demo.
The OLN is a fail, i will give you that.

Fresh and Klean

can't wait for Halo Wars :) but i still would of liked it to be $70 like limited editions are usually.

  • 02.07.2009 3:03 AM PDT

I don't need a signature.

You guys at BUNGIE are still a$$clowns for including Halo 3's maps on a separate game made by a separate studio, Halo Wars made by ENSEMBLE. I just hope you realize that. And to voice my dissatisfaction at the obvious marketing ploy and to show my resentment for a game that is NOT HALO (Halo Wars is not a First-Person Shooter), I'm not going to buy the game. Screw the "Limited Edition," it's just not going to be on my shelf. It is finally time for me to hang up my boots and my Assault Rifle and let the real Halo fade into the mundane background...

Nice update, killballs are the new fusion coil.

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

So you've tracked me down...

Be sure to check out my Youtube profile for all of my videos.

Awesome update!

Can't wait to find out what Fish In A Barrel involves.

Will it get a dose of Double EXP?

  • 02.07.2009 4:38 AM PDT

I hope the "Requires all Content" playlists, will only include the Mythic once its released on XBL, and not when Halo Wars comes out.

Well, only time will tell on how the KillBall will be used.

READ WHAT PEOPLE WRITE

The only way it makes sense is if the objects on the map are in ADDITION to the OLN, meaning that if you keep them, your limit is higher, but the only way of getting them back if you delete them lowers the OLN.


Are you talking to me again. What do you mean the only way of getting them back? If you delete the original objects on the map you wont be getting them back. Thats why they say you should stack them on the side. I just dont get why they cant make the original objects part of the OLN. Like if the OLN is 50 and there are already 30 objects on the default map why cant they just make the OLN 80. I dont know anything about programming though so I guess theres some reason they cant find a way to do this or else they would.
