What would mister chief look like as a flood


This is the whole reason there is no mister chief pictures. For one they are not funny. And second, people write in the -blam!-est requests, like this kid right here. Out of anything and everything you could of asked, you asked to see what he looks like as a flood. Everybody needs to read page one, where the one guy asked what he would look like he if got laid. Now that's creative thinking. So please save Bungie and yourself some time by not sending in -blam!- ideas like this one.

Wow I got a better idea. Improve the ability to join friends that live down the street from you and are on the same ISP instead of inventing -blam!- game types no one wants to play anyway.

Multi-Team sounds like a pretty sweet idea. Except for the one team that doesn't get a territory in 3 Plots..... Why can't you guys just release this stuff like.... NOW!?!? I wanna play it so bad. Would it be that hard to just put it out there now. Well I'm not an employee for Bungie, so I wouldn't know what you guys had to do to set all this stuff up... If there's ever gonna be a Bungie Office in DC some day... I'm gonna work there in 5 years.... That'd be sweet.


If you want to play the games so bad now, then why don't you make them your self and play them in custom. Oh wait you don't have enough friends, sorry.

hahaha no i love it when you spawn next to your teammate, except you spawn into a rocket and you die immediately. or in the beginning on Coag in Team Slayer you spawn by yourself next to the other team.

Are you guys planning on (or have already) made/making Halo 3? If so, for which system? I've been hearing rumors that Halo 3 is coming out March 22, 2006, and some that say February 9, 2006. It seems odd, yes, but who knows. You guys better not be making it for that piece of crap machine called "PS3". I'm not buying one of those pieces of garbage. Mine, and my friend's PS2 both broke down. Plus, the Panasonic HD, will make Halo 3 not only the sweetest game around, but in High Deffinition.

Well.. besides the fact that you are completely off-topic here..

Bungie is owned by Microsoft. They couldn't make games for the Spider-man console - er.. I mean.. PS3 - even if they wanted to.

Lets not forget the fact that Bungie has a contract with Microsoft

so is multi team going to start in september and are there going to be any program updates for halo 2 on xbox live? and one more question is it rue when u mod and u get banned from matchmaking u stop ur acount then u make a new one can u go onw matchmaking or is it if u have two acounts the one that mods he or she get banned and the other one doesnt

What Frank is telling everyone, if you mod with a box that have multiple accounts; the modie will be banned and the XBOX will be flagged (so you can't use it again with a different accounts). So in a nutshell, don't mod because you hurt everyone.

People
If you must mod please take it to another online provider, XBCONNECT, and there is another one but I forget.

i think that the multi teams will be at some times challenging and some times very easy. for instance if your on coag or some map similar and you have both sinpers or any sniper it would be easy to pic off. because there are more people to kill. soo yah newwbies and old schoolers get ready to be owned hintofgarlic is in the house i will be accepting challengers at any time add me to take me one on one. i have won 8 tournys soo far soo yah BRING IT! my gamertag is hintofgarlic. and if anyone from bungie reads this please challenge me i really want to play with you guys and see if you can take my nadding skills!


8 tourneys huh? Did you get a participation ribbon? Last time I checked the roster for regional your name didn't come up. Maybe you should go back to racing pinewood derby cars for the Boy Scouts.

New playlists are interesting and the do help the games stay fresh, but I'm not seeing any mention of the 500 lb. gorilla sitting in the Big Team Battle corner, which is quitters. I played about a dozen rounds today and nearly all of them were decided by which team had more quitters. In one battle my teammates talked about scoring as quickly as possible to get the other team to quit and that's exactly what happened. Then we were left with 3 rounds of 8v4 slayer in an assault game.

With the new playlists, for example, I can't imagine the 3v3v3v3 team format working for more than about 60 seconds. One team scores or takes the lead, and all you need is one person to quit on one of the 4 teams and that team is out of the game completely. I predict that by the final bell only about half of the starting people will still be playing.

Bungie obviously can't stop people from quitting, but they can make more of a penalty for those who do. I can't imagine that anyone is staying in a game because they are worried about being the lowest ranked player on a losing team. Judging by the fact that nearly every game has a minimum of 1-3 quitters it's obvious that people are quitting without any concern for the consequences. I’ve held out for the longest time from quitting but I’ve grown tired of being spawn killed because I’m one of a few players who didn’t quit and are outnumbered 2-1. What’s the point?

Why not create rules where quitting three games in a row lowers your level? Something that shows a pattern or something that's done for abusive people. Sometimes people have to leave, and that's understandable. But for now too many games are being decided in a minute or less if someone scores first in that short period of time.

Also, I’m not seeing any mention of new rules for betrayers or abusive language. Twice tonight I booted people for betraying me (not accidentally, both times they fired at me then beat me down), but in reality the people who do this really don’t care about their level so having that be the penalty does nothing to discourage them.

Also, I can’t go more than 3 games without hearing the word “-blam!-” or some other racial slur. I report these people but, again, obviously people are doing it without any concern at all for the penalty which means the penalty is useless overall.

So, unless Bungie spends more time trying to solve these problems I can’t see the new playlists really doing much for me, personally. Your number one goal will still be to try to keep your team from quitting and living through betrayers and insulting language.



I hear you man, and completely understand. But Bungie can't do anything to people for leaving a game, because it's the player's choice; and Bungie can't judge them for that.

As for the language, it just shows how pathedic Americans are; we are the stupidest and fattest country in the world (excluding 3rd world countries).

whats the deal with the playlist? 1.) there use to be tons of Br start games now there is hardly any. 2.) i'm so sick of playing warlock, sanctuary, and turf every time i play matchmaking. instead of wasting time making a multi team playlist, try making the existing one's better

Why are you talking, you said you're sick! Go to bed and shut the hell up.

How about they get rid of the god damn -blam!- combo, which consists of a BR and the -blam!- green shooty thing.

YES! I've been waiting for this! I was hoping for it in the next Halo. I don't know why I didn't think of just suggesting it as a playlist! =) =)

Good update.

-edit-
How do you think they are going to get rid of the newb combo? It's completely fair. Just learn to dodge the plasma blast.. and stop complaining!

Besides.. I think it's alot more annoying whenever someone throws a sticky around where I'm going to run instead of shoots a plasma blast.. because then it's completely my fault. And I'm a newbie for falling for it.

Yeah.. and we can't spell pathetic! We also put semi-colons where periods belong. =)

The reason Bungie couldn't punish people for leaving games is for many reasons.. not wanting to judge would be the last reason. The person could have been disconnected or forced to leave by authority. =P

Or, maybe it was Coagulation. And, maybe it was 30-5. And, maybe his teammates left with 3 minutes on the clock.

I quoted somebody. Didn't work.
