Two things:

I'm glad the betrayal system is being toned down. But I am worried that it won't track non-fatal damage done to players. Griefers that only shoot you but never kill should be booted after dealing three kills worth of damage as well.

Will Infection and Race be moved to their own playlists as well? There have been several threads complaining about how popular they are in Rumble Pit.

The addition of Rocket Race also poses the same potential problem. I love Rocket Race but I don't want to have to play Multi Team to play it. Nor do I think the players that don't want to play Rocket Race all the time want to play it. If you are interested I believe I can create enough variants upon the original idea to support a seperate playlist.

Also: Any word on a Grifball gametype?

Looks like that was actually four things.

Edit: Five things. Just create a Team Snipers playlist already.

Edit: Edit: Six things: Move Headhunter to Slayer.

HALO 2 FOREVER - M.I.A.

Yes i have a Twitter and yes i voice my opinion.

THE FOLLOWING IS NOT A RANT BUT A NOTICE TO BUNGIE.

Network issues derived from nat not being open is something i keep having.

There is no fix to the nat. The city wifi connection is all i can get. I had one employee tell me to not play matchmaking but if i dont play matchmaking then there is this problem called not getting credits or rank or anything. Along with not getting that stuff i wont get the full experiance that reach is supposed to have.

Not that i am going to blame him for his comment or spread it around the world that it was him that said it but i will say that the temp ban for quitting needs to be fixed and fast.

Lagouts are being noticed by the console so it tells me that there was a network connection issue. The next message i get is saying that i have been temp banned for quitting. Im sorry but i have more videos saying i never quit then your ban server has space. REALLY!

The banhammer for the quitters is a good idea but is far broken to even be enjoyed by the loyal players who try every chance they get to play online cause if they play offline the credit gain is not worth playing the game at all.

Trying to play the game to get enough credits to get certain armors or to rank up is all the players want. They want to have their personal look of the master chief in their own way or they want to get all the armors to get the pilot skull helmet.

The ban system for the quitters needs to be fixed asap or you will just lose all your loyal fans who spend every waking hour trying to get online so you can have your fan-made maps and screenshots and fileshare stuff.

Im sorry but the game is dead without the ability to rank up/unlock armors/get credits to unlock voices, and play games with others and maybe sometime in the future with yourself.

FLAG is open right now but i can tell you that if you dont meet in the middle with people who have net issues like myself or others who are on speeds like dialup then FLAG contributions will stay in the low numbers. People like us save money for that kind of thing but if we cant play then what is the point of even trying.

I wear the cheese, it does not wear me.

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

Ignore my gamertag and bungie user name. My name is not really Jess, it is Eric. I had a wonderful conversation with Lars about kittens and unicorns while wearing my lucky hot pink coloured speedo and nothing else.


(Just kidding)

Also I can't wait for tuesday, hopefully the thread with all the details will include mentions of complete overhauls to properly balance spire and boneyard for big team slayer. I would love to use the full map on boneyard with epic vehicle battles taking place on either side of the frigate =)

i'm sorry why in HELL are you (BUNGIE)removing pro slayer from arena?

this is one of the only gamestype in that game that any hardcore shooters can pick to avoid lame powerlock and be pure DMRS?

if you actually looked at date you would be able tell it's very much liked just like slayer dmrs

And the banhammer cracks down on the abusers like a fat man at thanksgiving does to a turkey. Campaign matchmaking come to me!

Halo is no longer under Bungie's care. Discuss that here.

I'm usually considered as "that one idiot that actually liked Sonic '06".

I love the comment about SWAT on Hemorrhage because, well, it really did suck. :/

Oh and this doesn't have to do with the Update really, but can we expect an Infection playlist for Halloween? Because that would be cool. :D

i'm sorry but don't blame bungie you can't play matchmaking because you choose to use free wifi from places around you. go get internet your self and you be able play.

second no where in weekly update they said they can fix your nat. nats are on the person who using the internet issue so no one can fix it but you.

  • 10.01.2010 5:41 PM PDT

okay okay some cool updates (swat) but seriously, bungie, it's your fault those glitches are in the game, don't release the game so early if there are such obvious glitches in the game. it's your fault, so stop acting like your jesus and bringing the "banhammer" down on people and just remove the glitches.

OH! an even better idea!!! try to focus on the real annoyances, like the MODDING! for christ sake, i've honestly run into about 2 or 3 aimbotters while playing reach. (i've went into theater and watch the shots, which none were even close to my head, but still killed me.)

get your priorities straight, take example from treyarch and make a damn squad devoted to eliminating modders.

Yes i have a Twitter and yes i voice my opinion.


Posted by: J0E VS Y0UApperently you did not read past the 4th line so i will put it in noob terms for you.

lagging out of games equals getting banned.

Need to fix banhammer for that problem.

Please do so before bungie loses lots of possible players and income.


Now if your done being focused on what i was saying. I did not say i was getting free internet. I said i have a nat that cant be fixed. Its a wifi internet that is provided by the city. I pay for my internet. I get my internet. I expect the internet. I dont expect getting banned every 4 mins due to that internet.

Bungie wants my money they can get the banhammer fixed.


Now do i need to noob term that as well? I hope not.

  • 10.01.2010 5:53 PM PDT

All that I am, all that will be of me, is the blood on my hands, the memories of my fallen enemies and my respected comrades.

I remember that sound test from the halo 2 map disk. nice update (finally campaign matchmaking XD)and what was the screenshot with the caption "It's a world... for forging!"? it was friggin' awesome!!!

And if they did they would create an avenue for quitters to "quit" without punishment.

Not to mention that you are still leaving your team short when you lag out. Once in a while is forgivable but if you know it and it's habitual then you are just being reckless and are deserving of a Quit Ban.

  • 10.01.2010 6:01 PM PDT

Bungie, I Support your moves all the way! I look forward to the tweaks and changes, most certainly cannot wait for team snipers! I have been working hard on forge and I plan to push my Maps through your rigorous meat grinder, in hopes to be the next big sausage! ...(no -blam!-) LOL. With that being said, why don't you guys make a playlist for a monthly top ranked/share/downloaded custom maps? Bungie keep up the amazing work...

  • 10.01.2010 6:05 PM PDT

Going ac-130 on it.

I like the playlist changes!!!

  • 10.01.2010 6:06 PM PDT

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

love the tweaks, banhammer blows and everything else u do Bungie

Nice. I wonder, is the Bungie Audio Team full? I'm going to be a sound designer and I would love to join in the near future.

Why no news on the cap increase? :(

  • 10.01.2010 6:35 PM PDT

Urk, i think you guys made a really bad decision resetting people back to recruit.

If you know people have been using mods/bots or something, then fair enough. That's against the LIVE terms of use anyway.

But as for the other stuff; every day there's some new fangled way of getting credits posted on YouTube. IGN have been putting the very best to the very worst (borderline bannable from xbox live) methods out there.

You should have drawn a line and laid down some rules, not retroactively banned/reset people.

This isn't right.

  • 10.01.2010 6:40 PM PDT

Awesome.

  • 10.01.2010 6:40 PM PDT

I have a inquiry(and yes I am using a fancy word).My little brother and I have 2 accounts on the same xbox.He's into the whole Oni Base CR farming and does it non-stop.I saw what the example said about noobish but legal way to max out the credit cap.
So first,how(in all of your spartanly godliness) can the computer tell the difference between a script code and someone who does it from morning to the un-holy hours of the night?Also if someone could send me message on what scripting a code is that would be great.Thanks
