YES!!!!! I have ben waiting for an update like this. all you other lil hookers that say different can go screw yourself. But the only thing I dont like is the no overtime in assault I just found this great new hiding place in headlong, you take the banchy down on the out side of the defenders base on the bottom and you have a guy stand on top of you and you go up the the bottom side of the porch (you know the side that the bomb is on) and under nieth the pourch is sapport bars the person on top of the banchy crouches into the bar

people you got to realize that time is something that can change speed. if you want something to come it will take longer, than if you don't want it to come. i like the ideas that bungie has made and i like the maps even more. BUT all you "people" who consider the cheats that they took out to be fair or even worse "bungie's fault" shut the hell up!

Thanks, Thawmus. That was helpful, particularly the explanation of griefing.

Looks to me like taking out the "noob combo" will just lead to other combos on the map. I kinda think it will actually imbalance the game more to lose those, but I could be wrong. I guess the BR may make up for it. There is always some combo that folks can exploit. I don't think that one was really any worse than others. My fav combo is actually the PR/SMG. No more PR for me on those maps. LOL.

I've played a few h-t-h games lately, and it just doesn't make good sense to me for a h-t-h game to be a on map as large as Ascension. I would think those games should be restricted to Beaver Creek and Midship, with a few maps in low rotation every now and then (Lockout maybe). Those larger maps make hiding too easy if you have a lead. And w/o radar, that will only get worse.

I agree that Bungie is handling the map playlist situation as well as they can. No problems there; just a general complaint about how MS is handling it. I should have directed that specifically to MS.

Thanks,
BuYou

I'm still waiting for the update but I don't know when it will come, I'm in EST and I don't really feel like subtracting right now, or adding, or whatever you do, but I can't wait till I'm a 1 again, it's so fun being a 1.

Also people complain about the BR Combo well duck behind and object and come out and kill them, 99% of the time the people useing the BR Combo suck with the BR, so they are lucky to hit you in the head once, come out and they won't be able to kill you because they suck with it.

If I had one wish for Matchmaking, it would be to have 3 and 4 team games. It could be teams of 2 or teams of 4. Has this ever been discussed? It's certainly feasible.

wow i finley get to post i usaly always read the hole thing before i post lmao im at work right now so it takes me longer to post at that but ea neways =P my opinon still is not to take out the PP/BR, why u ask, like i said my last post yesterday its not hard to dodge if u no what ur doin, just change the PP but dont change the map defualt this sucks now... but i still think its cool ur only doin it on 2 maps. but what about the other maps like sanctuary i mean theres 2 of those on that map, and when i was readen this i came across some1 saying the combo is used by lvl's 10+ and its true so i guesse 10+ are noob's.... and i no thats not true,

80% proly more use combo and 45% of us want the combo gone completly other 45% say change it 10% say leave it what im tryen to say is more people wanna keep it. so just keep and change it so we can have plasma weapons on all maps and still have the "noob combo" cuz i no people want plasma weapons and some people love the combo so this will make almost all of us happy

ps i liked some of the ideas people said for the PP like blowen up.. only dont blow and kill or nething just make it overheat and if u want to blow it up make it backfire or something weird like that but make sure its not 3 seconds to shoot make it like 7 or something so u still have time to charge it up before u round corners but you'll also have time to put it away if theres no1 so u dont screw yourself over my favriot is lessen the seeking on the shot and make it so after u shoot it u gotta wait till its done over heaten to change weapons cuz i for 1 dont use combo i use the PP to melee after i shoot
umm some1 tell me what they think

Majority of game variants on Coagulation and Burial mounds will now start players with Battle Rifle and an SMG - exceptions include games such as Team Snipers , Team Rifles or other variants which feature specific weapon sets.


I have a like-hate with the whole, but Team snipers is a nice touch. I mean I may not be the best at sniper, but I am hoping that Coag would only for that in TS.

... and yeah buddy its 9:41 PST
