About the people having their credits reset or perhaps even having their accounts banned for "challening boosting" is of course a good thing. But in the early weeks of Reach I managed to somehow (don't know nor remember what I did) to actually reset a challenge. This happened to be a numerous times and it wasn't for my benefit at all, what I did was just to reset a challenge that was about to be completed... kinda messed up huh?!

What angers me is that you could even get punished for this no matter if you did it intentionally or not.. I for certain did this by mistake, and I believe it had something to do with my login in and off my Xbox Live account. This is something I had to do since I don't have a router yet so that I can have my computer and Xbox 360 plugged in at the same time!

Hello! I'm a male!

So when does the "second" part of the matchmaking update take affect? Talked about it in the update yesterday and yet still not seeing any of it today. Shouldn't you wait to post that stuff till when it happens not way before? >.> Epic failsauce. :(

Gamertag change - Y U NO CHEAP?

Wow, it's like that this update was made right for me.

I am hardcore firefight-fan and I'm very excited about new FF-changes, such as wave limit increase (Seriously, god bless you) and disabling Friendly Fire (Very, very helpful on Rocketfight, for example). Oh and good rep for you for adding the Glacier! ;)

Even though I'm hardcore Firefighter, I've never tried Crashsite. What was it like? Well, Mythic Score Attack sounds challenging, since enemies have Mythic-skull! :O

"Fight fire with FIREFIGHT!"

Ok, and now about MM-gameplay. I like Team Slayer, but I'm not the biggest fan of Sniper Rifle. I really liked the idea that you removed Sniper-games from Team Slayer and made Team Sniper-playlist. I'm glad you didn't make any radical changes on Invasion, my #1 Gametype. I like the way it is now. Then finally, my another favourite Gametype, Living Dead gets it's own playlist.

Bottom line, excellent update, Bungie. I applaud you. I'll see you on the heat of Firefight!

The firefight adjustments, team snipers playlist, new forge world maps and rumble pit adjustments... it is all music to my ears. The only drawback for me is my love for swat and hate for swat magnums but hey you will never please everyone overall this is an excellent update. It really shows how much influence the community have on this game. I love it!

Unfortunate for fun being sacrificed for "MLG" players.
Removal of Race, lowering of RocketRace, and removing HeadHunter Pro.
Removal of MultiFlag from Boneyard and Spire, that's the only mode the maps are fun on beside Invasion, and OneFlag.
My biggest problem is making Zealot less and less fun to play on every update; what is the problem with space? What has lower gravity ever done but supply the human race with fun? Might as well be an instant kill zone because the timer doesn't even work properly for it.

But death to the Classic modes, go play Halo 3 if you don't want abilities.

Also we need a way to track our 117 Million progression. How many do we already have?

So.....you took SWAT out of Multi-Team, and you can no longer pick up other weapons in Sniper Score Attack?

Good job Bungie! Way to make your game less fun!

Also, I know you've printed up a nice networking guide and whatnot, but when is firefight matchmaking going to join 2001 and not be incredibly laggy?

  • 10.16.2010 6:32 AM PDT

more like " hey were going to lift the ranks early november so black ops doesnt take all of our players cause we think were smart f a g s doing that" get beat black ops already has the record for the most pre orders ever, your dumb fault for not going multi system, or can you not handle that?

  • 10.16.2010 7:10 AM PDT

Black ops looks horrible, and if you dont like halo, then stop being a damn troll and get the hell off the developers lawn!

  • 10.16.2010 7:21 AM PDT

What a hipster.

I can't wait to see how Glacier will turn out in Firefight.

We'll gonna see a lot more armor acheivements in team slayer or any matchmaking game for that matter. The players are gonna be interested and more happy about getting that recon helmet or that flaming head upgrade. anyways it's gonna be a lot more player scenery in the game more often.

The fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you.

Any update on the next podcast?

  • 10.16.2010 8:50 AM PDT

Can't you guys just add all the maps to firefight and score attack? That would be awesome. As well as the new maps coming to DLC.

  • 10.16.2010 8:51 AM PDT

Steam: RageRunner32 | StarCraft II: RageRunner | Lets play Pc sometime :)

<3

Still waiting/wishing for double cR weekend, Atom looks to be fun, and Score Attack still could use some improvement (why no option to play on Legendary?)

Good update though, looking forward to the end of November!

Aww... The only reason I liked Sniper Fight on Score Attack was that I could go pick up the fuel rod gun and have my own makeshift Lone Wolf Rocketfight...

Ah well. I love that you guys are extending the time limits, waves, and getting rid of friendly fire. That makes it so that some of the medals that were impossible to get before (Inconceivable, Unfriggenblelievable, etc.) are suddenly within grasp. All in all, the first thing I said is my only complaint. Keep up the good work!

The shield is for the benefit of all.

Looking good for the updates, can't wait to test some new maps out.

All the best to pleepleep and friends too! :)

Agree with Classic slayer options being removed.

The Zealot map colour scheme doesn't seem good for some reason. It's a nice enough map... just hard to see because of the colours. It's a bit bland... :(
Plus the space area is always abused by players. Particularly in Infection and SWAT. Needs to have a soft kill zone or a faster way of gaining access other than via the slow floating man canons.
