Congratulations on the success of Reach, but I'm passing on the DLC and likely Reach altogether as of now. I've attained 1000/1000 gamerscore for it, and struggle to find an appeal to play it more. Halo 3 had better gameplay, at least in my opinion. And, despite the nice touches to Forge, it's still extremely limited.

I still look forward to hearing about the new IP and seeing what 343 does with Halo, but for now, I out.

It's been one hell of a ride.


halo 2 had the best gameplay. to me halo 2 multiplayer looked and felt more real than halo 3, odst, and reach combined. THE CLASSICS MAN.

Check out my Forge Handbook blog at http://forge-life.blogspot.com for everything you could possibly need to know about the technical aspect of using Forge 2.0.

The Guide is nearly complete, but there is always room for new submissions, so remember to check back.

The only thing I would have to say is that the two forge world maps are severely lacking. Aside from the shoddily placed safe and kill zones allowing the players way too much reign in some areas as well as the paths being far too restrictive, it takes far to long to get to forks, etc, and the fact that one can't move between paths almost at all, games become very tedious during times of non action.

Atom itself has a serious glaring issue where a player can come across the hammer, focus rifle, rocket and grenade launcher within 8 seconds of each other. Cliffhanger is even worse in this, with multiple paths that lead to nowhere, and almost nothing to the layout aside from the three buildings. That doesn't even account for the fact that one can stand freely on the Forge-Placed rocks behind the base closest to the Pillar.

I don't know if you were trying to crowd source map selection methods, but neither of these maps live up to even the least worthwhile of non-forged maps.

Up until now, things have been pretty ok, but this new stuff has me worried. I really don't want the guy who chose those to be in charge of the Forgetacular Contest, it would end quite badly. I don't mean to down on whoever that was, but I can't see how it would be hard to see to anyone else that he missed some pretty obvious things.

Also, I have been nothing but constructive in saying any of this, as I have pointed out the reasoning behind everything I have said, and will gladly clarify for anyone who thought something was missed. That said, I don't expect to receive any messages with warnings about my post or its content, as I have not done anything wrong, or even mildly rude, for that matter. If I were to receive any, it would just prove that certain people find it uncomfortable to be criticized and that they feel that they need to have things their way only because they are in charge. I like to believe that no one within Bungie is like that, as they ask for suggestions, which lead to criticism, quite often.


Have a nice day.

halo 3 kicks a$$

so, here it is, 6 days later, any word on that thermometer, or word on a time frame for it?

A hero need not speak. When he is gone, the world will speak for him.

P.S. (actually a member since '03 just had a name change)
