I hate to sound like this, but I have to express my disappointment in the winning contest pictures. Compared to previous contest winners, and the screens I saw after searching, these few were exceptionally bland. While it's true that equipment effects do not a good picture make, even these just looked like pics someone would take after playing Halo 3 once, and going into theater for the very first time.

Aside from that, I still enjoyed the update, and look forward to playing on Vindictive in the near future.

Those weren't the winners.

Glory to Jesus Christ

Speaking of which Urk, are you available this Saturday?Wonder what's going on/went on today? Hmm.......

Shishka, have you ever implemented maps without requiring them before? This is the first I've heard of it, and I thought it was a pretty clever way to please everybody.

Thanks for the update guys!

Urk: Shucks it really made my day to see my picture on there! Oh well at least I'm in the weekly update! =) Next time I'll read a bit more carefully!

Arphos: I've played halo for awhile now... I'm sorry I didn't meet your requirements 'master.' Maybe you can lend me tips on how to match your image of a 'perfect picture,' and avoid such blandness...

Who said mine were the best of the best? You need to work on who you call "Master." Contrary to popular belief, that will only piss people off. Besides, you don't need to be a movie critic to say a movie was dull. You don't need to be an artist to tell when a painting is poorly drawn. My point is, although I commend you in not using a cliché equipment effect, the end result was still not exactly up to par with what others might have expected to see in an update. Have you seen some of the pics tagged with Chieftain? Some were simply stunning.

Which is another thing. I see now their reasoning behind not showing some of the winning pics. Spam galore.

Wow, I'm late. I don't know why I forgot to check on Friday... Good update, but I'd love to see new Double Exp Playlists *hint-more-infection-hint*

There's plenty of great maps and game types for infection out there. Please Shishka?

Why leaning awaay from BMW's Shishka? If you are I have one suggestion; Audi TT, they last forever and look good, they don't have much room in the back however, maybe to get more out of the truck you could allow whoever buys it to be a Halo 3 ODST Beta tester! : )
Nice thinking with the new play lists, I take it they update on the 9th?
By the way, do our Brute shots have to be on our shares as my ones are on my gallery?

Check out the new sig:

the purple thunder penguin army will destroy you

About time the mythics show up places adsides from team mythic it annoyed me that they only should up on team mythic because two achevements require zombie game types but team mythic didn't include infection.

BUT IT WILL ON THURSDAY, or is it Wednesday?
The most annoying one is the beyond the grave achievement, I can only ever get one medal, then we lose the game, due to my attempted death-points, why did you make that one Bungie, WHY???

I'm a little bit confused on the addition of new Sandbox variants to matchmaking. Does this mean that those special maps will be added to the HaloWarsMythic playlist? or just the ones mentioned specifically?

I believe halo wars mythic will be removed, but I don't know.
I wonder if Bungie will make an 'upload to server' tool, where you get a 48hr trial period for your map, if its good it stays, if its bad it goes, players get a vote at the end.
That would be cool...

edit-
I know what will happen on Monday!
Free ODST beta testing for me!
I hope, if I did I would be happy and give Bungie muffins!=)
But seriously,it will probably be a banhammer update or Urk's plan to steal recon and give it to Obama and some Halo 3 players who would happily throw a dumpster at Shishka!

mythic maps in market place today =]. and when do the new play list updates go live?

  • 04.06.2009 3:58 AM PDT

Only MLG left huh? Here's hoping the economy kills it off too.

  • 04.06.2009 4:35 AM PDT

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Posted by: BlindFireSniper
Mythic Part 1 comes with Halo Wars.
Mythic Part 2 comes with ODST

So right when ODST comes out your not gonna be able to play alot of the playlists if you dont buy them.

Wha? I thought ODST was going to have all the maps.

*goes in search of evidence....

Ah, here it is. Bungie Weekly Update: 02/06/09

Its at the bottom.

All twenty-four Halo 3 Multiplayer maps will be in the box.

So, if you are a cheapskate, not talking about anyone in particular...
You could just wait for ODST and get everything.
But, the only reason I got Halo wars was for the mythic map pack.
So yeah.

Don't be too harsh on these guys, they have to eat too you know.
Also Microsoft decide the points value, Bungie simply sell them the maps for a fixed price, am I right?
And anyway nearly all game map packs are 800 Microsoft points, so where's your grudge?
Besides, they give us free stuff, like cold storage, and I would imagine 'hopefully' that this Bungie day they will give us something similar.

I don't mean to be a stickler, but the end of the update says "We'll be back on Monday morning with more."

I'd rather hear more of that "We've got something cool to show you soon."
