In regards to the Firefly comment, I saw something even cooler just about a half hour ago. Im addicted to this show called Threshold which in short is about an alien invasion in which people are infected and gain superhuman abilities. This weeks episode featured one of the characters who may be infected playing halo. (he was driving a warthog through blood gulch Halo 1 towards a base) Then the main chick, who is really hot, came up and said "if you stay to the north side of the bunker you can pick the jackals off one at a time" and they talk and she leaves saying, "good luck with the jackals" later he goes in because he begins to show symptoms with increased vision and the doctor, who happens to be the data from star trek next gen, asks him whats been happening. The kid says, "well its this game halo i've been playing. The (insert hot chicks name here) gave me some tips. They helped a little, but lately I have breezed through ever level. Its like my eye-hand coordination is better." Bet thats about it in detail. I thought it was freaking funny at least...
I know i saw that last night i was like whoa!! i just wanna point this out that girl said watch out for the jackals and you didn't see any maps from the campain just blood gultch.Anyway yea get well frankie any1 with that needs 2 chill out so take a easy.Also off topic i think bungie should make halo1 for xboxlive on the xbox360 with everthing the same maybe a few new maps fuel rod and flamethower banshee also in mutilplayer lol just the thought of that mmmm sounds great

I am extatic about Peter FREAKING Jackson working on the new bungie movie. Just about anything that man touches is gold.

Anyway, I'm really interested to see the new play list. I think it's going to be one of the most commonly played play lists. I'm still playing almost every list given but judging by how long it takes to get a game the most common game type at this point is team slayer and multi team.

I LOVE the multi team play list.

Frankie get better or I'll draw you a play boy bunny Mr Cheif. Sketch, thanks for making sure that we have an update. I read it every time it's posted and send it out to my clan buddies. We appreciate you guys.

Its amazing how many online friends you attract when your ambidextrous.

Yeah maybe you should take the leaderboards off or keep it and maybe instead call it the
"I suck so I have to cheat" boards that way you can humilate them instead : )

I think levels should be taken off too for all playlists! Instead have the "Invisible levels" like in Multi-team and Snipers. (For those who didn't know you do get matched up with people next to your levels in those games)

P.S. For those 50's who think they have bragging rights... Who do you think is actually going to believe you? Basically to be a actual 50 you have to have modding skills without using a mod! 100% accuarcy and YOUR KILLS MUST = YOUR HEAD SHOTS.

Frankie odviously contracted some sickness from eating lima beans. Because we all know Bungie loves their lima beans.

Did you see the picture of Frankie on the MLG pro site? I thought he'd be......weirder.

Now who's number one!?

Seriously, if you guys are just going to instantly hit 'discuss this story' and not actually discuss anything (and in many cases not even read it) then I'm going to delete your post and remove your precious first page achievement. Sorry, this is not really what this forum is intended for. [/quote]


way to go Sketch, the real winners are on the second or third page cuz they actiually read the damn thing,

P.S. good update, Peter Jackson is gonna help make the best movie EVER!!! Period.

I'm a semi-fan of DOA its a cool game but i'm not that into it however if it has a Halo character in it I'll totally get it, I'm hoping the char is a Hunter it would be so cool to play those Covenent behemoths.

Wow, I didn't think that they would give the character away.
"Slugfest"---Comeon, isn't that just a bit too obvious? It refers to fighting, yes, but anyone can figure out what it is/could be referring to. If you need a hint, it starts with an H, and it ain't no 1 foot hologram.


I was totally thinking the same thing, come on Hunters!

I'm pretty sad to see the whole Team Hardcore not having a leader board :_(
Though I ponder is this to get rid of cheaters? or due to Bungie's laziness :P
I play quite often and I can say cheaters are really on the downlow I havn't faced a cheater in a long while.
All in support of having leader boards rise and show your voices!

Just one huge question, will halo 2 run in 720P ON THE XBOX 360?!

i have heard rummors that it would. i can remeber seeing screen shoots of halo 2 running on 720p on a LCD 50 inch tv in EGM. If this is the case i will not even buy perfect dark cause i heard the weapons were unbalanced + being able to play halo 2 in hi def what could be better..has anyone else heard eneything about how halo 2 playes on the 360?

You Know this update is really nice. really cant wait for the movie. Franki hope u get better soon. its tough being sick as you are. Team Hardcore will be the next best thing, such as Team Slayer. Maye Modders will focus more on other things then Slayer Or Hardcore. Thats All I have to say. Cant wait for updates and i am already sweating for the halo movie

bungie the only thing i like about your game is the fact that there will be a movie, other than that you suck. for weeks and months all i have heard is "we are fixing cheating". but instead all i get out of gameplay is haha hahaha you suck you dont know how to mod. people are still cheating and you arent helping anything. all i know is when the 360 comes out -blam!- everything that has to do with halo b/c im not buying any of it. and im sure im not the only one who feels this way.

i do believe that the new matchmaking playlists are b/s u guys at bungie are basicly bending over and taking it HARDCORE from mlg. they pretty much own u guys. ur playlists are perfect. the mlg is a buch a guys who cant use the smg right so they -blam!- until u guys make a playlist with br starts and maps that they are good at. your game is perfect its balance is great the way it is. ive never found myself in a situation where i couldn't get out of it by just simply finding the flaw in the other teams plan no plan is perfect. thats wats so good about your game. its perfectly balanced the way it is. it might as well be considered a sport. a person that is really good at this game could easily take down a battle rifler with an smg at mid range. its not hard u just have 2 play it right.

hi there, ive never left a post here at bungie, so hi everybody, hopefully there isnt as much hate here as on the xbox h2 forums. anyways, i just wanted to see how i could email bungie and ask them if i could edit that picture of Frankie dreamin about the babe with the mc helmet. i can tell by the difference clouds filter in the background. not to brag, but i know a thing or two about photoshop and was wondering if i could maybe help them out and make those clouds look pretty real. I know its no big deal and the pic will change reallly soon, but just for fun. even thougth i dont get my iBook (which posesses photoshop cs) back until sunday cuz my dad took it on a business trip i would really appreciate it if someone could point in the right direction, thanks.

  • 10.08.2005 11:15 AM PDT

Is it just me or does anyone else think that Peter Jackson producing Halo isn't that big a deal? I mean don't get me wrong, I think it's really good that he's doing it, but some people's excitement seems to be bordering almost on the orgasmic.

will bungie ever be able to detect/ban those who bridge their connections so that they can acquire host or lag people out? i am getting very tired of playing against so many freakin' bridgers...and the worst thing is that most people don't even realize that they are being cheated...they just think its b/c someone is lagging bad...at the higher levels, people use this almost every game...
