Yax is a shining beacon in these dark times. You should all strive to be more like Yax.

I've basically never played Halo 2 online, but it's still going to be sad when it's gone.

Nice update! but i read most of it from the IGN article.
And i really like that the timer remains if you walk outside the map boundary, i thought that players would exploit it otherwise.

The graphics and textures for the maps look really good, but the armor abilities aren't that impressive, I mean common Sprint? That seems really uncreative and boring, it seems like Bungie is trying to make us like it through the whole update, anyone get that vibe?

Fight hard, have fun

Yeah it's gonna be nice not having to wait 5-10 minutes for a match... :)

I tried playing H2 the other day but my anxiety got the best of me and couldn't stand waiting for a match any more and put in H3...

Ah, I sure am lovin' all the info. Nice update.

However, when you said "we'll give a piece of Reach visual flair to those who play with us" (or something along those lines) did you mean those who literally are put in a match with you, or just for everyone who plays Halo 2? =P


Everyone who plays, period.

What about those of us who continue to play Halo 2 as well as Halo 3? Do you we get maybe, something a little extra?

Those who die, will live,
those who live, will die

Awesome update - the maps look really really good - a lot like the sort of diversity the halo 2 ones had :')

Will be there on the 14th if I can redownload all the maps again - the countless hours of fun I had with that in my prime is unbelievable. Like seriously. I remember being able to play hog wars for 2 hours straight with a friend over xbox live on coagulation. Tower of Power custom games had some of the funniest moments of my life, let alone gaming life (sounds sad I know, but seriously lol, such good memories). And then zombies on foundation - how could you forget it :D
I haven't really found the same sort of custom game feel to halo 3 that halo 2 had - it might be the change in community or whatever (I remember every matchmaking game you heard the 'n word' atleast 6 times, and xbox live was so much more liberal back then, maybe allowed easier friend making or something :p). I dunno, you just don't seem to find as many 16 player custom games.

Halo reach looks set to be great though, really can't wait for it ^^

Nice update. Hopefully I'll see you in Halo 2 on that fateful day Bungie!

Halo 3 is pretty and all, and has great sound effects which is what makes it fun, but when it really comes down to strategy, its a damn bad game. Now I will admit I may have been exaggerating in saying "the worst" but its not that far in terms of strategy. Everyone pretty much does the same stuff every game, and uses the same weapons, and same strategies, nobody has to respond differently based on situation really. So halo 3 is pretty much not at all about being on your feet which is what a first person shooter should be.

Although my gamertag may be Blu Soldier, I am not in the military, I just thought the name sounded cool at the time.

Dude, I have an Idea. Go to a friends house, recover your profile on his xbox, and play a round together. It should work.

Two wise young men meet at the top of a mountain and futally attempt to push each other off while the third, much older, wise man, that was first to the top, watches. After hours of struggle a victor was decided. As the victor turns to him, too tired to fight more, and the wise old man begins his climb on another hill far above the hill he recently occupied. The victor is left bewildered and lacks the energy to climb further. The wise man and the older wise man were now in their rightful places.

Those maps remind me more of the halflife/portal series rather than halo's but I guess they're just reinventing their art style in a positive way. 2 thumbs up from me.

I hope they made the plasma rifle like it was in halo 1... it was great how once you got a few shots on somebody you could close in on them cuz they were slowed down
