I wear the cheese, it does not wear me.

* Rocket Race
* Juggernaut (Rumble Pit Playlist)
* *King of the Hill not included in Arena

^ Did you do that just so you could have a 4th bullet point?

Thank you Bungie for Halo: Reach's campaign, it was amazing I finished last Friday (haven't checked Bnet since 9/13). And thank you for the entire Halo series.

But, when my friend told me to look at this week's weekly update and that I would be pissed off, I most certainly was. The removal of the scorpion is inappropriate, there needs to be a scorpion. If there is no scorpion or at least a "Heavies" variant I will just go play Halo: CE on the PC, I don't HAVE to play Reach multiplayer matchmaking. I'm sorry but if your doing this just to make people happy that don't like heavy vehicles that's crazy.

I kinda agree, I mean I don't like the reveanat but I deal with it. Same as with the tank, you can take like three shots at the driver seat and knock the canopy and kill the driver to move on....I don't understand its removal after you balanced it with the reload.

Brilliant update.

Clearly, many people on here love the tank on Hemorrhage, myself included. One of the best parts of the game is grabbing the tank, racing to destroy the opposing tank, and taking control of the middle. Even if you lose this opening power struggle, it's fun using various loadouts to approach the enemy tank and destroy it. There's nothing like boarding a Scorpion, planting a grenade in its rear and opening a path for your teammates to storm through. Who wants to give up such shades of fun?

That said, Wraiths launching plasma projectiles across the map would be visually interesting, and add a 'hope I don't get randomly asploded' battleground feel to the game. Could be cool, but does it have to be at the Scorpion's expense?

How about keeping the tank but adding 'Covies' as a voting option? Leave it up to the players to decide if they want Supreme Metallic Death Machines or Sexy Blue Fire Rain.

I'm not seeing "Putting team snipers into it's own playlist" written anywhere..

Okay now where's the mention on Custom Game's MM? Everyone who plays Forge and Custom games is asking for it. Why is it so difficult to make?

Here's a simple idea. Before you go into Custom Games MM, you get to select 1 of your maps and gametypes. Then once online all the player's submitted maps are shuffled randomly and are chosen randomly. Like the regular MM. If you vote or veto down all the initial batch of maps a second batch of random maps are chosen. Of course maps player's submitted.

Also at the end of the weekly update "we love you so hard.." Never knew Bungie was into that.

nice..
I made UNSC hangar bay, all vehicles and a pelican :3 though if there was a way of getting it from my xbox to my computer without my xbox not having the net then i'd show

Bungie why do you always do this. You take a good thing and fiddle with it until it's terrible.

You want to know why people keep choosing Slayer Pro in arena? Probably because THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT TO PLAY.

Armor abilities tone down the competitive atmosphere significantly, and assault rifles more so. Don't make arena as boring as the other gametypes, it's really the only reason I go into matchmaking.

The tank change on Hemorrhage cannot come soon enough.

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.

Wait, just one more question: does firing at someone's head when they are shielded do more damage to their shields, or is shield damage universal?

Glad to see Rocket Race coming back to the playlists. Does this also mean that we will be able to create Rocket Race maps and game types in Custom Games?

Amen to that :D

If there isn't an MLG playlist in the works with Slayer Pro soon to be removed from Arena, I can't see any of Reach's matchmaking offerings to be very attractive personally. There's plenty of variation for you guys, but I enjoyed Arena because it had plenty of Slayer Pro, and none of the other playlists offer what I'm really looking for.

Oh well.

I blame stosh.


Proud tester of the Halo 3 beta.

That was one rich and awesome update, best way to start a day for me, thanks!

  • 09.25.2010 2:54 AM PDT

don't send me group invites

The one thing that really needs to be updated is that the grenade launcher needs to go back to beta power. It is absolutely useless now.

Great updatde, i'm sure its been said before though but i'm not sure whether removing the tank was totally nessacary (not that it makes a big impact in many of my games anyway.. (its just fun to have that sense of Imortality sometimes, that is untill someone boards you leaving a blue glowing present behind.) Looking forward to campaign matchmaking. Awesome game, good job.

Why was slayer pro removed from Arena? Also, why hasn't a soft kill zone been added to the top of the sniper towers on Asylum? With slayer pro out of the mix, the sniper tower is going to be abused...
