i don't think so.
there will be a LOT more normal players than bungie employees
so you'll have to wait your turn, i guess
and hope that you meet bungie

As a heads up... The theme for the map submissions was: KotH, Multi Flag, One Flag and Team Slayer. 4v4 all the way. Get ready, and good luck to all.

The one thing that really annoys me in these last 5 updates is at the end of your updates you continuously use "we out". Stop it, you aren't black or ghetto! You guys aren't a hoodlem gang from the 1980's. You guys are just people who make games at their computers. So please stop saying "we out" because you guys aren't badasses going off to go do a drive by or Grafitti some walls.

Bungie Day is looking more fun with each update =] Looking forward to go against Bungie, and not so i can haz rec0n, of course ;]

Not to sound like Grammar Police, but just something I noticed~


And not only are we worming are way through time together, we've also forged a mental connection across the dark expanse of space and time, as if these very words were vibrations amidst a network of loosely interconnected strings. Or something. To flesh this concept out a bit, I'd like you to conjure up a colorful beach ball using only the power of these words and your own expansive imagination. Stop reading until you have that inflatable image bouncing about inside your head. Got it? Next up, conjure a three-legged chicken. It's a little more difficult, but...oh snap, you've got that one too. Good work. We're off and wobbling. This is Extra Sensory Perception at its finest. And yes, we've done this bit before.



I'm sure you meant our :Þ

First!


Man, I don't even think the "Forum Ninjas" are fast enough to beat that. That was very impressive urk. Nice update by they way. I can't wait to finally play against the Bungie crew. I'd much rather play on the same team as them, but I wouldn't get the chance to get recon now would I? ;) The community maps look great. I also like the title of the Bungie Day playlist. "Bungie versus the World". Epic.

Man I sure hope my Xbox makes it back from repairs in time for Bungie Day! Does anyone know if you can win Recon if you lose a game at first but win one later?


you win recon when you win against a team of bungie employees. no matter how often you lost before


Thanks, I probably will be playing all day then!

All of those maps looked really nice, so I'll be periodically downloading those in the future. (I had some hope that my map would be in there, but I guess it's not popular enough... Hint, hint. Naw, I'm just kidding.)

Also thanks for the link to the interview. Nathan Fillion is awesome. I'm a fan of Firefly and just recently watched Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. I'm extremely excited for ODST, and it's just that much better when he's in it. I'm planning to go preorder it sometime next week.

zomg dude, you're a bungie employee ?
f- yeah, i headshotted a bungie employee in fiesta :>

now that i mentioned that, here comes a kinda related question
how do i recognize bungie employees ?
bc as you might notice, i had no idea butane was one and i think in the profiles of the players, that doesn't show either
so how do i know ? :s

Funny thing. I never even knew I was an employee.

Hint: I'm not.

D'OH!
sry for the mistaking then, dude!

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

Hmmm, that post could have stood to have a few more pics in it. I'm not cereal about that though.

  • 07.05.2009 8:13 AM PDT

This is absurd, I have to go download 35 freaking maps to do this? It takes 5 minutes to d/l 3 maps, but 35?
And how about some damn instructions? "Go download the maps". WHERE?

Try next time.

Sounds like you've got some problems. Let me address them in order.
1: You don't need to download the maps, not even to play in the playlist. It's just like any other MM playlist with custom maps (e.g. Avalanche Heavies), they load when you start the game
2: Sounds like a problem with your internet that nobody here can help you fix.
3. You click the picture to download each map. Everybody else figured it out.
4. Try next time before whinging.

How many bungie guys will be playing and for how long? Seems like its gonna be really hard to match them.

If I don't have to download them, why does the update say this:
"Sound good? Download the maps below, dip your toes in, and get some practice before you go swimming with the sharks (that's us) on Bungie Day. These are the arenas we'll be playing on.".
Oh wait,
your answer "You don't have to download the maps"....
Then, #4.. "Download the maps by". That's all I needed to know and SHOULD OF BEEN in the Bungie update, not buried on page 7 of a discussion thread. Don't JUST think EVERYONE knows how to do stuff and be ridiculously arrogant.

Second, It still takes 5-10 minutes to download the past three map packs with Comcast 20 meg service. I don't know your magic.

Third, its spelled "whining".

And really though, I have no interest in playing Bungie employees, getting a flaming helmet, getting a skull or any other ridiculous thing and playing on maps that look just as crappy "forged" as the original.

"a ken its gd but fuk me nae need t rub ur nipples about it calm the beef min"

Sega's awesome.

Love this idea, tried some of the maps, some were really cool, some were ehhh. Also, around what times would we see the Bungie employees on the playlist?

You download the maps to get some practice in. Taking that one sentence, it seems quite obvious. To me at least, but I guess you aren't me. You DON'T need to download the maps. As they are forged maps, they are on maps you already have. You don't need to physically have a copy of, say, Grifbox to play Grifball. This is the same sort of thing. The reason I'm assuming that most people figured it out is that you are the first person who didn't know how to DL the maps on 7 pages of comments. The maps have seen thousands of downloads each in the past three days, so I'm sorry for sounding arrogant.

Second, these AREN'T MAP PACKS. You download them from fileshares of individual, just like all other forged content and screenshots. This doesn't require completely new maps, these are just boxes moved around on sandbox and foundry. They take about 10 seconds at most each to download. I misunderstood you, you were talking about the official map packs (e.g. mythic, legendary), which do take longer to download.

Third, Whinge is a real word. It's more fun to say than whine, anyway.

And if you don't care about playing on the maps, you no longer need to post in this discussion. I was trying to assist you, I don't want to get into a flame war.

I don't know have anyone noticed already, but as I was playing Salvation there were an overshield with active camo in the same spot on blue side when there were only active camo on red side. Small mistake or does the creator prefer blue? ;D

That's in forge. When you ACTUALLY play, only one or the other spawns, depending on symmetry (e.g. Camo for Two Flag, OS for one flag.)
