The servers on reach keep failing.....explain that in an update?

Time to show you how Betty white roles in the downtown brooks.

Question on the rank issue, I hit Lt.Col grade 3 last night, and of course can not go any higher on my rank due to the cap, BUT I am still earning commendations and credits like normal. Do you know if nothing will happen, and am kind of screwing myself in the long run? Or will my rank suddenly jump according to the credits I have? If anyone can answer that would be grand, cuz I'm a weeee bit afraid of going on and completing all the daily challenges and doing Big team

"farewell SWAT on Hemorrhage, you sucked and everybody hated you"

my first game online, lol. I was upset when I seen it come up and then confused when people voted it. Good riddance.

Although the thing I most look forward to is the booting system rehash! give people a shiney "PUSH x to BOOT" thing and most will proceed to do so before they even think. Basic "do not push the red button" stuff.

Thank God I'm an atheist.

Nice update and especially nice Blame Stosh :P

  • 10.04.2010 9:11 AM PDT

So is the SWAT playlist coming out tomorrow?

  • 10.04.2010 11:51 AM PDT

Why would you get rid of Pro game type... makes no sense.

  • 10.04.2010 1:05 PM PDT

I love you bungie you just made the best game in the world so i love u bungie!!! gooodluck

  • 10.04.2010 2:06 PM PDT

Does the update come out Tuesday, October 5th or next week Tuesday?

  • 10.04.2010 2:22 PM PDT

Dear Bungie,

You could fix A LOT of issues if you simply split the game down the middle; one set of playlists for those who prefer things like Classic, Pro, SWAT, Snipers, etc, and one set of playlists for those who prefer all the new load outs and armor abilities.

Personally, I can't stand playing games WITHOUT the full range of armor abilities (as far as I'm concerned, if you want to play without armor abilities you might as well just go play Halo 3), and there are obviously many people who can't stand playing games WITH all the armor abilities (btw - the only reason people complain about Armor Lock is because it prevents them from doing their little 'throw-grenade-jump-sideways-plit-plit-plit-head shot-instant-kill' gimmick over and over and over again, and instead are forced to rely on *gasp* adapting to unexpected situations).

There's rarely a game where someone in the lobby isn't ticked off because they prefer one or the other and got stuck playing the one they don't like.

I know you can't please everyone, and you can't make 1000 different playlists tailored to each individual, but this one beautiful change would make EVERYONE happy, because they would never get stuck playing game after game of the complete opposite of what makes the Reach experience work for them (for some people it's throwing down old school MLG style, and for others it's watching the wonderful variety and unpredictable nature of half a dozen different armor abilities clashing).

Please consider this option. It would benefit the entire community: two main lobbies mirroring one another, all maps, games types and playlists identical, except one is all Classic/Pro/Old School all the time, and the other is Armor Ability Fusion Party Forever! (and for those who like both, they can switch back and forth from one side of the spectrum to the other as the mood strikes them.)

This change would be epic, and wholeheartedly embraced by even the most hard to please skeptics out there.

Love,

A Huge Fan Of Playing With Your Awesome New Armor Abilities

P.S. Sorry for the brief moment of trash talking. Such things could be avoided across the community at large if we weren't forced to fight for control over intrinsic preferences. To each his own and all that. Instead, we could focus on trash talking for some other entirely arbitrary reason:-)

so every game u get trashed there modding right great reasoning there lol

  • 10.04.2010 4:15 PM PDT

I certainly hope that we will still have the option of choosing not to boot someone, even if it's a third time betrayal. Me and my friends are grenade happy, and infinity doesn't even begin to explain how many times we've accidentally killed each other with various bits of explosives.

This three strike you're out is a good idea, since it will prevent noobs from just kicking you right of the bat for mistakes, but I'd prefer a more three strikes and now your life is in someone else's hands.

Or perhaps go for something else, like betray a team mate and you instantly die as well (after three betrayals)

Hey how about you add idk maybe Team Snipers as a playlist? Since tons of people love playing snipers?? That'd be amazing if you did that.

Great update, I like all the changes except one, why are you nerfing Gruntpocalypse? The credits are fine, the problem is that all the OTHER game modes are not giving enough credits. Come on and raise the bar on Multiplayer Matchmaking so I can actually play it and climb the Warrant Officer grade 3 mountain and have a good time. Gruntpocalypse gets boring after a few matches, but I keep playing cause MP is not putting enough of a dent in the mountain.


Are you seriously going to nerf Score Attack for a second time within three weeks???

  • 10.04.2010 6:38 PM PDT

Why Bungie why?!? Why must you change the betrayal booting system??? For Christ's sake just turn off friendyl fire!!!!!!!!!1one

  • 10.04.2010 6:44 PM PDT

"A wise man once told me don't argue with fools, cause people from a distance can't tell who is who."

So you guys really thought that the space portion of Zealot was a good idea. Really? Really!? I'm sure there's at least 1 or 2 testers giving the "I told you so" right now.

  • 10.04.2010 7:08 PM PDT

Slayer Pro will be dearly missed.

I would love to see the voting data on that. I would reckon that pro was by far the most voted for gametype in arena. So far bungie hasn't commented on why it's being removed. I'm really disappointed...

  • 10.04.2010 8:49 PM PDT

Two words that could have made a great update the greatest update:

Action Sack.

This is easily the orst update ever. I don't mind most of it but taking slayer pro out of arena makes no sense at all. It is arena and it's supposed to be somewhat tough. If you want a jetpack then vote DMRs or go play something else. Leaving us with DMRs only ruins the game. If it's not put back into that playlist by the next update I will probbly sell the game back and buy something else. I want a challenge and I want some normal play. No jetpack, no camo,no armor lock, just good old fashioned "you have to actually be good at the game" Halo. Please return it to the way it was. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to a $45 dollar trade in and COD: Black Ops.

  • 10.06.2010 12:41 AM PDT

wow i cant believe this. i really did like pro* because it was orignal.also why remove SWAT? i understand it should of got removed but you should of put team snipers and SWAT in team arena because people like them playlists and they want to get ranked in it.also you should bring back pro because it was really good,it reminded me like MLG and one more thing what are you going to do about the challenge glitch?
