awesome fixes Bungie! tho to be honest the only thing I've really noticed were the faint crosshairs (noticeable when I was firing the magnum at some jetpacker in the air...just sorta guess aimed lol)

Sounds like a lot of nice improvements. The flag walking bit is, admittedly, something of a shock but much appreciated.

And the quitter thing.... well, I just might cry. It's like the end of a Nightmare on Elm Street film where Freddy gets pulled out of the dream and iced good. Hopefully they'll put their quitting tendencies to good use after they realize they can only join one game every half hour, and put down Halo forever.

I really do think that this is going in the right direction, however I know 'personally that sometimes people end up quitting due to other matters, like being called by parents and is this situation happens to occur multiple times in one day, then do they get punished? I would just like that to be clarified

  • 05.08.2010 12:06 AM PDT

Im going to have to agree with most of these people saying that this "ban program" will cause problems for those of us who get called by parents, wife, husband, etc. to do something for them really quickly. Wouldn't it be the wiser thing to do to just quit out of the game instead of standing there being free kills for the enemy team? And also if one of your friends gets on and you just "have to play with them" would you get "punished" for wanting to play with your friend and quitting out of a game to join them?

-I'll sleep when I'm dead, and Spartans never die.-

My internet makes me worry about their Quitter Ban/tracker. Any time anyone calls my house phone, it drops the internet connection. This doesn't happen frequently enough to become a serious problem, but I still worry.
I should possibly open a thread about it...

Awesome update! Are there going to be more emblems in the final game. You don't have the Marathon emblem and don't have the old Dreamcatcher background from Halo 3.

Nice solution for quitters with a banhammer punishment. Just hope it's precise and not swing-happy.

  • 05.08.2010 1:52 AM PDT

Are you guys going to update the beta before you take it down?

Do that which is right.

Wouldn't it just be easier to allow people to join Matchmaking games in progress? That way, if someone quits, so what? Someone else can join and take their place. It's a system that works perfectly well in MW2 and other large titles, and one which would serve better than one which could ban innocent people whose internet quit out too many times.

What I'm trying to say is that, IMO, the new Banhammer is too militant and draconian a strategy for taking care of habitual quitters; the potential for banning people who simply quit too many times, or whose internet cut out, makes it seem too extreme for a game with a focus on fun.

The MONGOOSE the worlds most awesome quad bike.

Download it Here.

Reach Montage


Reach Pictage

but about armour lock, that ability has waaaay too much strength/s, EMP a vehicle, take of an opponents shield, protect from everything, recharge own shields, activate instantly and multiple times and lasts as long as it does. I am just saying in my opinion it needs a bit of balancing.

anybody else agree?

I swear I hear the announcer say funny stuff at the end of Invasion, I haven't heard the "You Suck" voice message yet, but I heard this at the end..

The elite announcer said: They fought in unusual conduct, they're hiding something!

Then the announcer replied..

"Shut up!"

I checked in theatre, and when I first heard it it sounded like Skuntor but I'm pretty sure it's this. Anyone else hear the announcer backsass at the elites?

Moxus, you see, sometimes hackers can just join a custom game then they have access to someone. This would mean a hacker could just walk in to your post-invite only game and do what they want. And, this could attract harrassment, if you've got them out of your party, doesn't mean they can't just join your game. And besides, Halo isn't MW2.

  • 05.08.2010 3:59 AM PDT

Nice update just what i wanted to here, good old Banhammer :D

Im loveing Invasion!!!

  • 05.08.2010 4:49 AM PDT

Look at all those great fixes! So glad you guys have a beta! Thanks for promising a grenade fix. I still think you should distinguish the dots on the motion tracker a little more though. :P

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

Nice update Urk. I was glad to hear about Stockpile being fixed.

  • 05.08.2010 5:23 AM PDT

No news on the "no sound for everyone else on split-screen while someone is invisible glitch?"

Oh yeah, and I don't think quiting would be such an issue if the matchmaking system could pull people into your game...kinda like that other FPS...I was really hoping Active Roster was going to help in this situation by letting you join games in-progress.

So, for the "quitter ban", what happens to the team the quitters left behind? do they get more credits if they win or do they lose less when they lose the game? Just a thought.
