I would like to be a Mythic Member, or a mod.

REALLY BAD. I believe I deserve it, I am very loyal to the dear Bungie forums and want to keep everything in tip-top shape. Its always a real pleasure to be on the forums and I want to be recognized here.

Time to BUST the rank cap!

I know I have an issue with my temper and may say and do things in a match that are embarrassing and regretful. I try my best to control it but things tend to get on my nerves...like Armor Lock for example. :P
So if I do do or say something bad, then I'm sorry I didn't really mean it and you should just get over it.
Thank you.

Again, I'm looking forward to the new maps!

Now for the updates. I'm happy to see that we are having some new playlists like Team Snipers.
I don't understand why people don't like the classic game types...oh well. I'm pleased to see that you all will add soft kill bounds on top of the sniper bases in Asylum. Thanks guys!

The Firefight updates are nice...except that you all are taking out Crashsite. I guess I'll wait and see if it'll come back in due time, but I liked playing it. But I'm glad you all are adding the "Glacier" map to the playlist! I'm also glad friendly fire is being removed. You don't know how many times I killed a team mate on accident...XD
I'm still waiting on Firefight Versus...

Nice update overall!

I beasted Sniper primary, Nerfle secondary. I am going to miss my three-shot supercombine on Brutes.

NR makes it too easy too. Everything but Elites and Hunters is a three shot kill to the NR. Jackals do you a favor by dive rolling to avoid getting shot by it since they drop their shields.

Skirmishers were good enemies too, being so agile, it was hard to bring a precision weapon to bear.

While I agree that using the FRG broke Sniperfight, I enjoyed being able to take out Brutes (being my least favorite species of the Covenant since Halo 2) so easily, and using the noob-combo against the Elite Generals (being as they were so damn difficult). But I trust Bungie.

I'm so excited about the playlist updates, it's like Bungie has my xbl microphone wire tapped. I love it.

And the new re: charity was uplifting,
- congrats, guys!

Follow the Don @Don_Gino you know where
Don't mistake my kindness for something else

Nice update

Lots of info to digest, not too happy about still having to wait another month for the cap to be lifted.

Please stop listening to all of the whiney babies that complain about every aspect of this game. Some things do need fixed but some of the changes you made will only please the biggest of babies that complain on the forums. You have to have a balance between what Halo is and what SOME of the community wants. Big mistake turning off friendly fire in firefight, being able to boot unsporting jerks out of the game is a necessity due to how much doushbaggery there is in your online community. If you are going to do everything the little crybabies want then you moght as well put the br back in, take away arena, and bring back the 1-50 ranks. Understand that I don't want you to do this, but a lot of people posting on the forums do. More people post about those things than anything else, and I am honestly surprised that you pander to such a small section of complainers because what you have done isn't what the majority wants. Please stop changing things. This is Halo: Reach, not Halo 3. If you are really on the banhammer warpath, do something about the footpeddlers; you know what I mean.

Now I know I rag on you guys pretty bad at times, but you know I love you guys at Bungie. I just want to say God bless you for your work with the make a wish foundation. I repsect those who help those less fortunate and I hope you will encourage your fans and community to do so as well. Thanks for your involvement.

Well enough for now, take care and have fun.
The Don

Come read my blog! I post reviews on all the video games I play, and movies/tv shows that I watch. URL is my homepage URL. Thanks for visiting!

Epic update, love the new maps, can't wait to play them, when is everything going into effect? The 19th? I didn't read the whole thing, kinda skimmed it but I'm kind of assuming because that's when snipers is coming in according to the playlists. Also, really like the community idea for the rank cap lift, it should get people to stop complaining and start doing their challenges. Just wish it was a large number in kills because I can work on that all day but I can only do 5 challenges in a day.

Great update Bungie, keep up the good work.

I like sniping

Good to hear the level cap will be increased soon! And I'm really looking forward to the sniper playlist!

It's awesome that you guys work with Make a Wish. Great news to end with!

117 million? Jeez, at least make it challenging next time...

:D

Campaign matchmaking is sweet! I've been playing it since I got home early from work. Kudos.

When shall this challenge counter be implemented?

  • 10.15.2010 7:01 PM PDT

Death to humankind! Sangheili forever~ human male sex slaves are alright, though. :v

I plea for more images of Sanghelli subjugating humans/spartans! I want to litter my profile with stuff like that. :p Yay for online campaign! I finally got Live after playing through all the Halos over the years... I will finally have a campaign partner. XD

No news on Firefight Versus?

I can't wait to play it, but why is it taking so long to get set up. Playing splitscreen FFV is less fun that you would expect.

This was a great update though.

WHAT ABOUT SLAYER PRO IN ARENA??? ARE YOU ADDING IT BACK IN OR NOT BUNGIE??? YOU HAVE AN OUTCRY FROM THE COMPETIEIVE PLAYERS TO PUT IT BACK IN...WHY AREN'T YOU LISTENING TO US???

  • 10.15.2010 7:37 PM PDT

In regards to novels and "canon". I will pick and choose which ones to support as I damn well please. Cryptum and Glasslands are irrelevant as far as I'm concerned.

Don't like that? Boo hoo.

Sure they're "canon" but that doesn't mean I have to support them, their existence, or the continued careers of their respective writers.

Added Glacier map
Sweet. 'Tis a good map, I've tried it in custom games.

Friendly Fire is Disabled
No more team killers, yay.

Weapon pickup is now Disabled
That's a load of -blam!- there. I enjoyed ditching that pistol for a Spiker, Needler, or Plasma Repeater to deal with those retardedly annoying Skirmishers and sometimes the Brutes if they get too close.

Now I'll be stuck with that damned pistol. Dammit.

  • 10.15.2010 7:40 PM PDT

Lol I loved the blame stosh. Can't wait for the firefight changes!! Only thing I really enjoy playing a lot of!! Thanks for the update!

I guess I was unaware of the internet community, and its citizens excommunicated to the flood.

Everything I liked, until I heard that glacier was going into firefight... I think I like the map, but can't tell because I never want to play it. It is SO FREAKIN LAGGY! Everything is fine until a couple plasmas fly by your head and the framerate shoot down.

Why the -blam!- do gaming companies think it's cool to do stupid -blam!- Community Unlock Horse -blam!-! I have been at the -blam!- level cap since the second week and now I have to -blam!- wait until MAYBE -blam!- November?! That is -blam!- horse -blam!-. I am sick and tired of waiting for the cap to come up. I understand why at first they did it to make sure people weren't -blam!- Cheating. But now I have to wait until some stupid -blam!- Community Challenge Scale? I -blam!- paid $150 to play my FULL GAME. Not 3/4's of a -blam!- game. Whatever. -blam!- this bull-blam!-. Once Fallout and Fable 3 come out I'm leaving this -blam!- game alone.

  • 10.15.2010 8:37 PM PDT

Do they ever? They don't listen to anyone. They -blam!- things up all the time. Their -blam!- pro at it. Specially -blam!- with the "No weapon Pickup" in Sniper Fight. What the -blam!-? So now I have to fight with the -blam!- -blam!- pistol against the goddamned Skrimmishers and Jackels? Yeah, way to -blam!- go -blam!-s. And the fact you can't Veto for a better map in Team Arena or Doubles Arena. What the -blam!-? I hate the forge-world maps. They are -blam!- terrible. Give me the -blam!- option to play a different -blam!- map like Count Down or Reflection.

It's Hazard Time

Love the changes made to Firefight, just waiting for an option to go classic (forever) in matchmaking (in due time) and Versus (in due time).
Sure, sniper fight will be a lot more challenging without the spiker and Fuel rod, but that's just good. Love to hear about some new maps fro BTB and Invasion too :)
