Many bulls encompass me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me;
they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion.
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint;
my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast;
my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws;
you lay me in the dust of death. -Psalm 22:12-15

I for one would not mind if Bungie eventually abandoned Halo 3....for Halo 4. Featuring Jews in space...and Hitler on ice.

Wait, does this mean that the map pack after Mythic will be the last one?

I know this wasn't official, but didn't people used to say that Bungie would make at least 40 DLC maps for Halo 3?

I will no longer be using Killerassassin13. I have created a B.net account to use for my gamertag. Killerassassin13 = Radiant Jetfire
Radiant Jetfire I have been for a long time. So I decided to make my name as my B.net. You can reach me there.

good info

40 maps? Where did you read that?

On another note, a short and sweet update.

Kudos to the Robocop quote at the end of the update. "Stay out of trouble"

Reporter: Robo, excuse me, Robo, any special message for all the kids watching at home?
RoboCop: Stay out of trouble.

Idk I just remember people talking about it, and even if its not 40, just 12 doesn't seem like allot for one of the best games ever created.

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

Good update, love the hunter pics.

Pretty cool, can't wait to get to play on Vessel. The Hunter screenshots look sweet.

Next up: Chieftains. Fire up Halo 3's Campaign and smash some Brute Packs. Make your way to the Chieftain, humiliate him, and put the screenshot evidence into your File Share (not your Screenshot Gallery), tagged with "Chieftain." We'll check back come Monday and send word to the winners.

- You mean we have to take, umm.. funny screenshots humillating them, or what's exactly the contest about?

Alright update, I might just do this screenshot contest.

Who long you guys going to keep doing the screenshots? Till the Map pack comes out? Or till you run out of codes?

coool update anyone here can help me im stuck at lvl 30 in team slayer i need ot get to 35 but its impossible for me im unlucky GT:JDOORKNOCKER

  • 03.27.2009 8:52 PM PDT

Great update. I LOL'd at the part about Shishka being "locked in a closet inside the studio with only his devkit the sole source of warmth and vitamin D" if Halo 3 matchmaking had to keep running after the next 2 years.

Also, I really like the Vessel map. That should be crazy fun and it makes me anxious, now, for the April 9th release of the Mythic Map Pack. That's funny given I already own the maps, but it's the new playlist that's got me pumped.

  • 03.27.2009 8:53 PM PDT

That map needs to be re-thought. The fundamental problem with Narrows is that if one team takes initiative and stays solid on the high bridge, it's hard for the other to come back. But the team always has a chance because there's a relatively accessible low bridge as well as a lift for escape and regrouping. From what I can see, this custom Sandbox map does not. Given Bungie's previous record of starting players without decent weapons, I don't see the map becoming popular except in hardcore setups like the Snipers, MLG, or SWAT playlists. Just an educated guess.

Anyway, I'm certainly looking forward to the ability to recreate lots of maps from Halo and Halo 2 without the need to take up Bungie's time or more of my money. Good update.

All you had to do was right click the Vessel image and it was in the properties.
