The interest in the BWU seems to have gone down since Reach was released.

Heck yes, more wallpapers!

Congrats on the incredible launch, guys.
That must mean Reach is a pretty decent game. Who woulda thunk it? ;)

I achieved my Recon armor through the screenshot contest Team Control, not Bungie Day or ODST. 5/29/09

Thanks for the great game Bungie. I really love you guys (and gals.) I like to think of you as the girlfriend that I never had. ;D

Hey Bungie, is full firefight matchmaking held up for the same reasons as the campaign matchmaking? The time attack mode is fun for a small taste but it's not the online firefight experience I was expecting. I'm looking forward to seeing the matchmaking system grow and evolve.

Thanks!

I really didn't get the dig at people who decided to go the easy route on the Firefight achievements. It had nothing to do with sucking a Halo or improving my self worth and everything to do with how rediculously hilarious it was to score that many points that quickly...Hunter killionaire, FTW.

Otherwise, a mighty fine update. Especially loved the Elite pre-battle speech...definately a new ring tone.

Canada isn't that important that it needs two of the same threads on page one.

No word on the GT glitch that won't let my main GT upload files to my file share but you would rather complain about people "cheating" (even though you gave us the option to do anything) for a stupid achievement. Nice. :/

Awesome game.

Since you're active tonight Urk. The Forge wallpaper only has one size available. I can embed too :P
Also I noticed how you always talk about online. I've noticed the AI during offline campaign seem to be no so smart. I love the Halo franchise. Huge fan. But I could handle Halo 3's AI being lost during a checkpoint. But this is taking it a bit far. Source
I know you guys have a lot going on. But hear our offline cries for help too :(

Trophy shot 'Focus' has been featured on the Bungie.net home page! Thanks, Bungie!

I'm analyzing the Elite speech and for the life of me cannot figure out how to decipher it.

Piru-zou!!

I need a weapon.

Could you have mentioned the fact that you need to play through campaign missions in one sitting if you wanna get the achievements/credit towards the Weekly Challenge?

  • 09.17.2010 6:02 PM PDT

If you find me a person that can get the 1000000 points in Firefighter achievement legitimately (and within a reasonable time constraint such as <24 hours), then I will call Microsoft right now and tell them to remove the one I got through IGN's game mode.

In the meantime, I'll be playing your amazing game :)

"Don't mistake your rank and number for superiority.
The oldest child may learn from the youngest."

Halo: Reach is the best game I have ever played (no exaggeration included). There is so much that I haven't even been able to finish what I've been focusing on, that being the campaign. Bungie has always set the bar higher with each game release, but I think you guys set the bar so high, we've lost sight of it. I am lost with the incredible amount of content. From the armor, to firefight, to Forge (World), to multiplayer, to Campaign and the list still goes on.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that, Bungie... you did it.

I'm in your boat. I came home for the midnight release and skipped classes for the week, but now that I'm back at the dorms and I'm going through withdrawal symptoms. :(

  • 09.17.2010 6:20 PM PDT

Thank you Bungie for the news on Rocket Race. I was like, "No teams in race?! LAME!" and then I was like, "No Rocket Race?!?! DOUBLE LAME!!!"

HA, anyways, thanks.

I wear the cheese, it does not wear me.

This account is now retired due to WLID changing. Webteam needs to fix that, seriously >.>

Cool update urk! I hope one of the things the october update works on is spawns: earlier I spent a very crappy BTB headhunter match on boneyard spawning at the invasion core drop off point with no where to go but into the claws of the other team >.<

Also, that creepy urk photo(shop)bomb is creepy...

  • 09.17.2010 6:30 PM PDT

Hey Halo Reach was very cool. I loved the ending with going into Halo one but to my disappointment remembering Halo one is very old and out dated. Halo one plays really bad on xbox 360. Just an Idea why not remake Halo 1 and Halo 2 for xbox 360 and release them both at the same time. You have a huge fan base and people want to keep playing Halo. No one is sick of it yet. Just an idea.

i am not the greatest player won't say i am in fact i'm not terribly good but 1,000,000 points was crazy i would have been playing for like a week just to get that, I'm actually proud of being terrible in this instance because i had a MASSIVE amount of fun being invincible against tons of waves of elite generals it was hilarious! especially with unlimited ammo with the golf club, going to put the clip on my file share! (1,000,000 points in 59 minutes!) i'm proud of my epic fail! and halo 3 would never give me the achievement for mission number 7 of the campaign so i deserve an moderately easy achievement!

i love you bungie but please urk don't insult how i decide to play your game
