That's pretty good for 2 hours of music without explosions and people yelling. I don't care if you steal it, but God does...

Dear shishka: Thank you.

"They're definitely heroes," he said of Noble Six's unit. "This will be about honor and sacrifice. And you still kick a ton of ass, you still blow a lot of stuff up." -urk

Woohoo! Thank you for the new information, urk, Shiska, ${OTHER_BUNGIE_BADASSES_HERE}!

Love the changes, additions, etc. Good Work! I'm hoping to learn how we will get all our AAs, armors, etc. Maybe see some Forge action or theater?

bungie i love you

things are looking awesome the arena sounds like to good to be true and the party up system seems to be great i look forword to getting to have games with POLITE people :D

It's all fun and games until someone files a restraining order.

I wonder if your set offline if active roster will not show you.
-edit-
All the new information was good, but I would love any news about invasion. Please. Fine, be that way.
Hey urk, the jurkstore called and they're all outta you. Poor you, stolen at the age of six and constricted into bungie, waaaaah. Ok look, you let me post, I got the Fist of Rukt. I'll be the bottom. I'll polish your boots. I'll polish your helmet! It's the caffeine. When I'm on the caffeine, I don't know what I'm doing half the time.
Did I ramble on too long? Whatever. Anyway I just felt like going on and on. I blame Stosh. But what that was about is release some of that tightly guarded info about invasion. I know you guys need to save something though. Until then I'll have to resort to staring through that foggy window.

I love the new system for choosing what map to play in Matchmaking. Hopefully it also only loads the map that people CHOOSE, rather than load a map, have it veto'd, load new map, etc.

Everything that's being implemented/changed sounded like great ideas.

Anybody want a peanut?

You guys rock. Seriously, you just addressed all my complaints with Halo 3's Matchmaking in one swift, brilliant stroke. Kudos to you, Bungie.

Check out my group if you love talking about music.

Another good groupNew Mombasa

Although Arena isn't something I would be terribly excited about it's cool that Bungie is putting that in for the more competitive players.

I'm really digging the ability to use the Social setting to possibly match you up with people that have a similar mindset and playstyle as yourself.

Let us cast arms aside
And discard our wrath
Thou, in faith, will keep us safe
Whilst we find the path

"There are no winners in a war. There's just the side who loses a little bit less than the other."

Great!
Only thing I wish to know now is, what is Invasion?
It's apparently a Spartan vs Elite gametype, but I want more info!

Can't wait for the new UI. The Reach Background looks awesome, and I am also extremely happy to see Active Rosters.

  • 03.18.2010 4:36 PM PDT

Pretty cool stuff, can't wait to try some of it out in May. Just over a month away.

for the whole polite setting, are other people judged by what they put as a preference or is it based on a rating system? I ask because people trying to be jerks might put the setting to polite and just be Dicks.

Im lovin' the no camping emblem Urk is sporting.

This is probably the most hi-tech online gameplay I've ever seen in a video game. I keep suffering from all this awesomeness! Maaaake it stoppp!

  • 03.18.2010 5:11 PM PDT

Damn; Bungie, you threw the house through the window.

To much technology, much better veto options, awesome finding-match options. I don't think I can make it till the Beta comes out, I can't handle this level of genius.

And the background of the Matchmaking lobby is beautiful, more than beautiful but I can´t find a stronger word.

Hell,.... O_O

I would say I am one of the most successful trolls in Bungie.net history.

Oh billy, I'm lost for words.

Just put one thing in the game to make Halo Reach the best game out there. Allow people to join the game while in the middle of it. This is why I quit playing Halo, because if I join a team game of 4 v 4 and one guy quits the other team wins. So please fix this or I and probably a ton of other people will be extremely disappointed with Reach and I really want it to be good. I ask for one thing in this game and its to be able to join a game while its in progress, otherwise this game wont be fun to play long while online. Maybe the new settings will fix that, but I highly doubt it. People are going to quit, when they know they are going to lose. I got sick of having to quit ranked games and getting demoted because in a CTF game it was me vs. 4 people so I saw no reason to sit there for another like 10 mins just losing.

WOW this is long........

  • 03.18.2010 10:31 PM PDT

ILY Bungie!!!! Seriously! You guys have the best online multiplayr already! And now you have just steped it up like 5000x!!! I can not wait for may!!!! Oh and my only disapointment was that it look like there isn't going to be the ability to join an active game in MM...I was kinda hopin there would be like the guy abov me...butother than that I am way stoked!!!!

  • 03.18.2010 11:07 PM PDT

Looks pretty badass, actually.

I'm getting a little worn out on the Xbox guide friends list, anyway.
This looks much, much better.

the new veto system seems pretty nice and i really like the roster. the arena probably won't be anything for me though, but its still nice to have a place where the competetive can hang out.

oh and urk tell everyone at Bungie how great of a job they're all doing.
