I'm Hoping you guys are not showing the Sandbox budget cause there is going to be some surprise items on that map also I really want the soccer ball to be on there for crypt. Glad to hear you can transport out and in to crypt to, I like really big maps. I'm guessing you can also transport to sky bubble too?

To play or not to play....

Nice update :). In fact there have been loads of nice updates lately. I am so looking forward to forging the new maps. I am not much of a forger but I think the new maps may inspire my imagination somewhat. :)

I have a feeling that Microsoft is going to sit there fat ass on the Map pack for as long as possible. I would not be surprise if we don't get it until the middle of march or later.

Decent update.

It's cool that you guys are handing out a few free codes here and there because $80 for HWLE is not gonna happen for me.
I'm also guessing... not for too many other people as well... who really has $80 to blow on 3 maps in this economy?

Nevertheless, I'm glad it's weeks and not months before the MMP is released.
It makes sense, clearly, though.
Just re-read what I wrote above about the HWLE.

Oh, by the way... did I miss who the winners were of the V-Day Recon?

As always, keep up the good work.

ps- when you do in fact hand out the free codes, please at least give them to people in the community who are actually ACTIVE and play halo 3.

I'm not saying, "oh give it to me..."

But I know for a fact that during the H3 Beta you were giving them to people who didn't even have a 360.
You gave to them to 2 of my close friends.
One of them didn't have a 360 and hadn't even posted on bungie.net in years...

Something to consider.
Otherwise... it's awesome when you guys do free codes, etc.

Seriously, this is not a cry baby complaint... but an honest "heads up" suggestion.

Those screenshots confirm that the easter eggs on the sandtrap towers are the remains of lasers, and they dumped the laser idea and put land mines. It's cool that they went back to their original idea.

I liked the update. Those screenshots of Shishka getting pwned made me giggle.

FIRST time getting slandered in the WWUD. Suck it -blam! es!

Why no crying GIF? I'm not good enough for you guys?


lol

No worries, we still love you. Well, some of us do. Just not Shishka. He's incapable of any emotion except rage.

Please don't tell him I said that.


Your secret is safe with me...and well pretty much everyone who's in this thread...we're both screwed!

But man, he really did take that "Gossett > Luke + Shishka" comment to heart.

I enjoyed the picture where Shiskia is trying to escape the ring of death(since the lasers surround there circle arena) and I wanted to thank Bungie as whole for a chance at letting their fans when some early Mythic, cheer. :)

P.S. Shiskia, you are the best!! WOOT :)

  • 02.22.2009 11:19 AM PDT

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.

The maps are looking good. Can't wait to get my hands on them.
Also, can I read a discussion with out seeing people shouting, "YAAYY! FIRST POST!!11!!1!"? Nobody gives a -blam!-!

I promise you there will be one million skybases on sandbox

Campiagn Kill Count :31,745. And growing.

The Revisionaries- One of the greatest screenshot groups on B.net. With 250 members and growing.

Not a bad update.. I was kind of hoping you'd annouce the V-Day criteria though. I didn't take part in it, but I had my hopes up to see what it all was.

Oh well. Hopefully you get it out sometime soon.

So why do they still not make EVERYTHING available in the customization of maps?????

Is that too hard to to? I would think that within the conceptual boundary of "map customization" that every map should be based on blank slate customization, not a designed plan for customization that bungie prescribes for each map.

Ya, I'm sure that warthogs aren't good on certain maps but who the BLAM uses camping stools? If you're putting camping stools in forge instead of more vehicles and weapons and equipment, then something is definitely wrong.

Hopefully these new maps will be worth it besides the points mentioned.

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

Sooo uh I took a bunch of pictures of ODST's after playin' on the Ark. I then proceeded to my file share to upload my favorite ones so that some soul might come along and take notice, but alas I found that my Bungie Pro had expired!

Now I have many pieces in my share that I am proud of, pieces which I can't get rid of to make space because I would not be able to get them back seeing as they were made some time ago. So I think hey, I'll just renew my subscription, but much to my dismay, I cannot locate the button that allows you to do this, the button that one would usually find at the bottom of their file share, asking if they would like to become a Bungie Pro member.

So you men and perhaps some women will be taking notice of everyone's cool pictures in a day or so I am sure, and I can't put mine up there to stand alongside everyone elses! My journey on the Ark has been in vain! Is there any way I can renew Bungie pro now? I don't understand what has occurred, and how do I fix this before Judgement Time??????

Thanks guys, should you ever come across this...

[EDIT] Oh.... so after examining the front page a little further it appears my journey was in vain. Lol, and I did this all at 12 today, darnit. If I didn't have to work on weekends, perhaps I might have had a chance...congrats to those that have a free saturday/sunday...

[EDIT AGAIN] And after viewing the picture montage, I've decided that for any future contests, I may just quit my job so I can actually participate with everyone else. My pictures could have won over some of those, and I'm not even being snooty, good job for those that won. I'm just sayin if I had been able to put mine up in time, things would "look different, without the prophet's lies"...
