Become the hunter.

Meaty update.

Ticked I didn't keep the vid of the icons appearing over the flag though. I have a screenshot! =(

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

Having a blast and helping Bungie at the same time, doesn't get better than that.
Good update, can't wait till Fall.

Ok so i have the flag glitch that is talking about, but I'm not sure how to send in the glitch. Any help would be appreciated. I have the screen shots of it. I might be able to find the game history as well.

Sorry, but does anyone else think Generator Defense is just well... Kinda boring?

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

I really really really want Generator Defence to be in the final game of Halo: Reach. I will be very mad at the community if they vote no.

No!

Edit: If Generator Defense does not pass on to the final game I will blame you first before the entire Bungie.net communtiy.

Chief vs the scarab? I find that hard to believe to roundhouse boot the scarab's figurative emotion out of the gaming zone.

Damn, Wednesday is going to show up quick. I don't want to play other games now!

It's a fascinating voyage of pain and despair that leaves you emotionally drained and satisfied, like f­ucking a burning dolphin.

Hey, urk, Ronald Jenkees doesn't spit fire. He throws it.

Let me just say it is a fun beta overall. But saying that the elites are superior to the spartans is a load of bull. 99.9% of the time i play invasion spartans always dominate by the end with their shotguns, grenade launchers, and the invincible scorpion tank. The spartan weapons are far superior than elites which doesnt make a lot of sense. If plasma is hotter than the sun then why does the assault riffle lower shields faster then the plasma repeater. And everyone knows a shotgun will beat a sword guy almost all the time. With the scorpion tank respawning in like 20 seconds is just totally unfair to the eiltes. A wraith tank is no match to a scorpion tank with its sniper riffle accuracy.

Wow. I love it.

I haven't heard of anything greater than our new beloved Sandwich bans...

Yes, you just got banned for quitting... go make a sandwich and think about all those games you ruined.


Sandwich bans.

This is the greatest thing I've heard in quite some time.

I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt.

Jeeze calm down.

Yeah, I think it is a little boring, as per my comments on the Generator Defence feedback thread. To summerise: too short match, too short cooldown for generators and too easy to complete the objective.

Amen brother. Its bad because i find even a half cordinated team of spartans can dick on a great team of elites because of the wepons they spawn with and the plasma reapeater need to be more powerful
