What do ya'll think about Master Chief and this chick. She looks his type.

Anyways I agree with confetti maker. That would be pretty cool for it to blow up in their faces. Imagine having a idiot protecting the flag carrier. He overcharges the pistol. Then, from across the screen you see the poor fool blow him and his his team mates to smithereens! All the while your team mates touch your flag and return it. Grabbing theirs and returning it for a score.

That would be amazing.

There is one thing I don't understand - if sudden death is being removed, why get rid of the banshee?

the human set on Colossus and Beaver +cough+ "battle" Creek is super ultra mega -blam!- (not in a homophobic way more of a super ultra mega -blam!- way) because that hurts dual weilding possibities alot! Specifically anything + plasma rifle which i'm very partial too. Also that winds up dumping a ton of sucky SMG's all over the place and makes the maps just too pistol heavy espeacialy in the trench (I'm thinking Colossus). Bad move, and I'm sure alot of others will agree with me when they find out about this. Besides the combo is alot of fun and takes alot skill. Also anyone who gets an overshield now doesn't have to worry too much, this whole idea sucks I like getting knocked on my ass with the combo. Grenades are too powerful now! TURF is AwsomE, I can't wait to play it in matchmaking. ppl who been sayin bud list reset suck jus ramblin now la la la la la......... O YA .... n/m i'm out

i love the idea of human sets on colossus and battle creek. the combo is a straight up noob weapon!!! you probably like using it because you suck with any other weapons. it takes almost no skill to use at all. plus, with grenades being stronger, it will be easy to take down the overshield. plus it's not like the overshield is on the board at every single second. this will make those two stages more balanced and more exciting. and if you like getting knocked on your ass with the combo i think you should reevaluate who the -blam!- one is...

I don't see the point of removing the Banshee from Ascention and Headlong. What the point? If you're removing sudden death, they can only hide it for too long. If they want to hide it till time runs out, fine with me.

Why don't you ever run opinion polls to see what we want added or removed from the game? We can only complain about things after the fact.

Still, thanks for a great game, but think about what I've said.

Are they fixing the Midship bomb glitch yet? That's probably one of the most annoying things for people who play neutral bomb on Midship.

Oh yeah one more thing nothing agains bungie but the weapons should just be left alone. They are what the game is, stop whining about every little thing like i can't win because the combo,i can't win because of the sniper. Suck it up get better and move on, all i really wanted out was the cheating that is all. None of these other things that add to the game or take away from the game. thats all i have to say about that. and cheating newbs will die at my hand u all suck if u push the magic button!!!

I think less time and effort should have been put into removing the battle rifle/plasma pistol combo from certain matchmaking games, and maybe devote that time and effort into curing the shotgun problem. 1st team shotguns should be removed from matchmaking. 2nd sometimes it takes 3 point blank shots to drop an enemy with no overshield, then minutes later an enemy can pepper you from 25 feet away and your dead. All the other changes sound good, how about updating matchmaking even further. Make it a little more specific, I would prefer going into optimatch and choosing 1 on 1, 2 vs 2, small team/clan vs, large team/clan vs. Then be able to pick the game type capture the flag (single/2 flags), assault (neutral or turns), slayer/team slayer, territories, king of the hill, oddball. Finally pick the map I want to play. Maybe I am asking too much to have freedom, I hate being thrown into the same match/maps over and over and over.
