The tease about the DMR/Pistol damage has me way too excited.

everybody listen to mac2po he is 100% right

Good update. I just looked at the pictures and went "oooooooh aaaaaaah". Thanks for this in depth explanation :P

I am asleep.

Why must my exams be in May this year? The beta just keeps looking better and better... No fair :/

So from what i see the new arena system sounds pretty sick, but one thing that seperates halo from all those other shooters out there is the fact that not only can u rank up depending on ur performance, but u can also downrank if u do bad. it adds alot more replay value to the matchmaking experience. And it also gives u something to brag about. in Call of duty ur rank means nothing to people just the fact that u simply play more. Is all of this going out the window in Reach? or will i still be able to brag about my rank along with k/d ratio and w.e else u guys add

Thanks for choosing to whine over being a productive member of the community and possible element towards advancing Reach.

I like the UI interface....just level it out and it'll be perfect. Tell Candland he has no clue what he's talking (puttin' aside the fact he's an expert on it.)

In the BWU, it said that we should try and see if we can boost the system or break the netcode. Is this correct? And more importantly, do we get cookies?
For now, all you need to know is that yes, Arena is the ultra competitive experience on tap for Halo Reach and that we want you to rip it apart in the Beta come May. If you think you can break it, boost it, or otherwise find a way to game it in your favor, we want you to expose those weak spots and hit 'em hard for massive damage. As with everything we're discussing here today, everything is subject to change and we have the resources and bandwidth to respond and adjust as needed.

Awesome update.

So much information. Awesome.

I see we can now have thousands of custom items. Can I safely assume you've fixed the whole "oops I switched my disc all my recent games are now gone" issue?

  • 03.19.2010 4:16 PM PDT

Aye.

This. I despise this recent trend of putting a slant on everything (LOOKING AT YOU, NEED FOR SPEED SHIFT).

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

So, you want people to try and abuse the system in the public beta? I'm sure people will no matter what but what about the things that occur outside the games network? Like DDoS? Will we still be playing client/host in the "Ranked" Arena? If thats the case, do you have any plans on stopping DDoS?
