I am Slayer750 on Xbox Live!!!

I'm a bit confused. Is Spooky House in the HaloWarsMythic Playlist right now? Or will it come soon?

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.

What whAt wHat??

There not much news on the Mythic Map Pack front.

Somebody stole your 'S'!

That's what I'm wondering. Hopefully they update it soon with some new gametypes.

hey bungie employees i was just wondering if u guys play halo wars, and if u do, do u enjoy the game and also, wat do u think of the character design in the cinematics, like how the marines look slightly different than in the traditional halo series and also how the elites are much bulkier? is the engine that ensemble used to create the game perhaps stronger and more powerful than the engine that u guys used to create halo graphics

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.

So where can I get Spooky house map/variant from? Am I just that unobservant or was there no link to queue it up?

You know, for that guy's "Ghostbusters" idea, why didn't he just put a sentinel beam in front of everyone's spawn point?

I know I'm going to get flamed for this...

Occasionally, I see websites sing praises for Bungie for how well they treat their community, and I just have to laugh a little bit. Sure, Halo 3 is awesome, and features here with our stats and screenshots are great--in fact that sort of thing is outstanding compared to what other game companies offer.

But it seems to me that the constant sarcasm in the weekly updates and Bungie's ridiculous stance on providing details of future updates, DLC, and future titles flies right in the face of this supposed great respect they have for us. I understand that marketing plays into this, but some of this just seems like a slap in the face for the sake of, well, slapping us in the face.

I'm sorry, but I'm very disappointed in this sales ploy with the Mythic Map pack. Putting it in the special edition of Halo Wars to squeeze out a few extra dollars in sales, and then being tight-lipped about when it will actually hit the Market Place as a stand-alone download is underhanded, greedy, and just plain disrespectful to all the people who have supported Bungie with game and DLC sales. I'm sure some of you will disagree, and any Bungie employees who read this are no doubt ready to fire back with some snarky response, but I don't think I'm being too unreasonable here. This kind of thing really makes me think twice about whether I want to buy the next DLC or game that Bungie releases. Just my two cents.

I can understand why you would be upset with bungie for trying to milk the dollars from your wallet with some clever marketing ploy like this, but the fact of the matter is Bungie didnt make Halo Wars. Ensemble Studios did. More than likely Bungie didnt even have a choice in whether those maps got released with the LCE or not. In all reality it was up to the marketing department from microsoft. Maybe next time you can do a little research before you go posting wild accusations and make decisions about whether your going to support a particular developer by purchasing their product.

Hope to someday work at this place! :)

Bungie, your "From the Feed" section is hilarious! Keep up the good work!

Loved the update, and I'm hoping to get to look at some of the great Mythic variants once the maps come out.

Also, is this image anywhere in a larger resolution?

would the "close look at scarab construction" have anything to do with Assembly being a scarab construction yard? or am I jumping to conclusions?
