Please just tell us. You know when your going to release them so why not tell us. All my friends have halo wars and the map pack and it's driving me crazy. I just don't know why you can't tell us the date. I think since we have to listen to you guys and others talk about the pack, we atleast deserve to know when it will be released. In my opinion I think thats the least you could do and I'm sure every other die hard halo fan would agree. Please. Just tell us the date. I'm really getting sick of this.

Dude, did you not read Urk's post on the previous page? Bungie wants to tell us. They don't know when the date is. When they do know, they will tell us. Microsoft is the one who sets the date, not Bungie, so really, you should be asking them. Bungie wants to know the exact date before they tell us; they could tell us the day they think the maps are going to come out, but then if that date turns out to be wrong, lots of fans would be upset, and no one would be happy. So please, be patient. When they know, they'll tell us.

EDIT: Hmmmm... I probably should have read Urk's post, too. He didn't actually say Bungie didn't know; he just said that they would tell us as soon as they can. So they may know and just not be allowed to tell us right now. Either way, I still think that Bungie wants to tell us, and they will tell us, as soon as they're able to. So yeah. Peace out.

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?

So what did happen to the V-Day Massacre results urk? The results that outlined how the Recon-winners won Recon-armor?


As far as I know, the pool of potentials has been plucked out of the list and people are pouring through it when they aren't making games to make sure Recon isn't given to a booster, cheater, or someone with halitosis.

It'll get done, peeps will get Recon, and I don't know if there will be an update proper to cover it. I'd have to ask around.

do you know if there's something for getting dumped... twice?
was gonna play with one friend, waited for a toral of 10+ hours, he starts with another partner. start with another friend, we play one game, no more games till i say screw it :(

You bros got something against giving out information on the render to video feature? I mean, at least a "we're still working on it guys" every month or so would be cool. Please?

Nice update, filled with jerky goodness. I don't see why people are going on their periods over the mythic map pack not being out in marketplace yet. Yes I understand that the maps are amazing, etc, but it's just a few weeks, there's no need to get pissy, go out and see Watchmen or get a hamburger or something else.

PS: Watchmen was amazing, do not see it if your underage.

when well mythic be on market place

Urk, you said guttiworks. I'm tentatively excited, if it is, in fact, a subtle movie reference. I've got to say, if there's anyplace to crib material from, it's that flick.

I'm very proud of you, sir.

Is it? I wonder. Not to contradict you, because I haven't read it, but it was such a visual movie, and directed so well (Kubrick is the man). Also, the accompaniment of a bit of the ole' Ludwig Van was so cornerstone to the experience, in my opinion. I'll have to read it, just to see how it compares. I've only ever found two movies where I actually thought the film was better than the book. Fight Club and Bringing Out the Dead. Good books in their own right, but the stories were just so visual that they lent themselves so well to film. In any case, I'll have to go visit my local library and pick it up. Thanks for the tip, mon frere.

Anywho, thanks for the rockin' update, brother sir. We appreciate what you do for us. Can't wait to see those Sandbox variants in play.

Have a great weekend folks, and don't stray too far from home, you never know when the Mythic Map Pack clouds will roll in to rain down codes from on high. Stay tuned.

Anyone still waiting for the "rain"? :(

Nice update, Bungie. I think that 'texture' on the pillar seen in the Plurality image is amazingly awesome. It's also reminiscent of a game design idea i have.

  • 03.08.2009 4:40 PM PDT

Sorry guys I don't use this account that much any more, please visit my main Bungie.net account Halo Biggest Fan thank you.

Really cool idea putting the code in hex bungie. I hope future codes are made increasingly difficult to figure out so people who just press f5 all day dont just get the codes. I personally can only get onto bungie.net every now and then, but I would still like a chance to get a code.

Also, The sandbox variant looks interesting, I can't wait for the inevitable "WTF NOOB -blam!- -blam!- I FELL OF THE SIDE OF THE MAP -blam!- BLAMMBLAMBLAM"

Ok, I was skeptical at first regarding Halo Wars and had sworn I would wait for Halo ODST to come out to get the maps, but I ended up liking the HW demo a lot and pre-ordered my LCE copy... and now, I can't seem to quit playing HW long enough to get any H3 game time in on the maps. I've loaded them up in Forge and played with them a bit, but honestly, HW has grown on me and I can't seem to quit playing it long enough to load any other games.

I'm sure I'll get back to playing Halo 3 again soon, but I'm having so much fun with Halo Wars right now. It has a compelling story line that goes along with some really exciting game play - both in campaign and multiplayer, especially the 3v3 games.

So, I officially recant any previous rants or posts about the LCE not being worth the money. It's worth every penny and then some. It's just too bad that Ensemble closed shop because a sequel would be really nice to have down the road.

Just a thought:
I really appreciate how you are talking about the new maps for Sandbox. I love that map! I was wondering if you could add a link to the map when you talk about it. If not, its cool. Its not that big of a deal to go search for it after reading, but it would be nice if I could just hit a link and go straight to download the map instantly. Thanks for all you guys do!

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.

LAST! (for now)

Nice, good, long, interesting update.

Why didn't we get any screens of 'Plurality'?

I was wondering if we could bring our Hi-res screenshots to walmart on a CD to print posters.... or would this be copyright infringement?
