How about cheaters? How about getting rid of any and all 2-month subs.? I have already been cheated on in Team Hardcore matches! People using mods! It's BS (still) for the people who want to play good games. 1 cheater is too many! Good job to this point with the Banhammer I guess though. Its good to see some of these wastes of a "Good Gamer" get Hammered though. Keep it up! Halo still rules. War Bungie!

A short update this week, but there’s a couple of snippets in here, including the number of banhammers dropped to date. If short updates make you mad, and then you email me to complain, just go enjoy the weekend instead!

Spartan 458? you said it would be a character from the halo universe but ive never heard of spartan 458? i know there was talk about Halo 3 actually starting off in the battles before Halo One. maybe spartan 458 is part of that story. maybe a good friend to 117 or something. maybe this is a hint that Halo 3 is being made and thats the storyline they are going with. i hope so cause that would be a great storyline for halo 3 and maybe more emphasis on the human and spartan side . i really didnt like how much Halo 2 was geared towards the covenant. i mean honestly, who cares. that was halo 2 downfall... i only played the levels as the arbiter 1 time and i will never play them again. it just took away from the part of the story that really interested me and thats the human-spartan side. well, i hope halo 3 is geared more towards the way HALO CE: was.

I also want to hear more about HALO ONE on xbox 360. if frankie is seriously considering playing the entire game "FIRST" then that must mean something. maybe some changes to the game or something , its gotta be more than just HDTV. as for other posts , i could also care less about halo 2 on 360, nothing can make that game as good as HALO CE: nothing at all. infact, the only reason i play the game is to pass time. i play HALO CE: as a passion. HALO 2 will never ever have that. i also liked the way halo one looked over halo 2. halo 2 was way too shiny and perfect which made it that much more unrealistic, HALO ONE was perfect with its texture and rough edges. and its 100% bit mapping" which gave HALO CE: its amazing feel and playability. everything had its own life in halo ce: all the objects and textures in halo 2 seemed uniform and similar, thus giving everything the same feel.

I’d have to agree taking on a Hunter with a Plasma pistol is pretty fun. I just hope Bungie brings back the ability to kill Hunters by punching them to death for Halo 3. You should try it on Legendary, it takes quite some time. However the plasma based weapons can kill a Hunter very quickly if you go for shots into the backs of the beasts.

One of the tricks I use to keep all of my marines all five that is on the level Gravemind is using dual blue pill plasma rifles to kill the Hunters in that one room quickly. Otherwise the marines take a beating no matter what they’re carrying at that point. Well you know no marines can be equipped with a fuel rod cannon at that point.

It would be nice for a change if Bungie would quit wasting their breath on all the crap that they keep telling us about preventing modding. It is sad, but I am starting a campaign to get others to quit playing Halo 2 until modding is gone...

Oh well...so much for the days of fun and morality...

hey i just wanted to say i lOVE team hardcore i really thought that team slayer and skirmish were ok, but hardcore i really love because of the battle rifle start and it just feels like me and my team mates really have to work together. one thing i do think that they should take out is the games on warlock, its just too crazy its not team hardcore its more like rumble pit, its really hard to keep a strategy in that kind of a map, i can see if your keeping capture the flag in there or something but if its just slayer thats just too damn crazy, and hey its also 2 people bigger than a rumble pit game. anyways great playlist, and i hope that it NEVER gets removed. oh, i just remembered one thing about it. i think that they should seriously take out the pistol for those matches. who the heck uses a pistol when they have a battle rifle, i never see it done. GREAT GAME !!!

anybody believe this guy. Tyrant is saying games that were recorded watched and connection status watched also through the game didn't show anything funny on anybody on your team. You can say you didn't cheat but anyone you play could have been doing anyhting just to get a little edge. The way i look at it if somebody had played over 100-200 games with the same people and those people cheat its hard to believe that the entire group doesn't know what's going on. So if they know someone who is cheating and really believes in playing legit my report one of his friends then remove him from your list. I personally can only see a few reasons to have a cheater on list other than custom game modding maddness(tons of fun).

I LOVE TEAM HARDCORE

the reason i like the pisol as a secondary weapon (for those who hate it) it is good to do the fast reload with your br.........when your done shooting and start reloading your battle rifle tap y twice right before your done and it will seem like it went faster and you can only do this if you have a secondary weapon (hince the magnum) WOHOOOOO

Dear Bungie Team,

I have the answer to your coffee woes. Over here at this, er, big hollywood studio that I work at, we've got a nifty machine called a "Flavia." At first, I hated it ....for 30 seconds - which is how long it takes to brew a fresh cup of joe. And there's lots of Joe's to choose from. Flavas for the flava.

Here's the link:

http://www.myflavia.com/Jupiter/en-US/brewers/s350.htm

Order one today. And like I said, I work for a movie studio not a coffee company, so it's all the same to me.

I just want "Pimps at Sea" to kick ass, that's all. Arrgh.

Sincerely,

MthdDirector


Bungie, I found the "rolls royce" of coffeemakers. It's called the "Jura-Capresso Impressa Z5." (anything with "Z5" has got to be good, and this rule incidentally also applies to coffee-makers).

Here's a quote from the Williams-Sonoma catalog:

"This revolutionary fully automatic machine is the first to turn out perfect cappucinos and lattes with one-touch convenience. Simply place a cup under the dual nozzles, and the Z5 takes care of brewing the coffee, foaming the milk and mixing them to cafe-style perfection. The Z5 also features customizable coffee-strength settings as well as one-touch milk-frothing buttons. Programmable buttons access different users' beverage preferences for one-touch preparation; a rotary dial lets you further customize espresso drinks. Milk stays fresh for up to eight hours in a 32-oz thermal container. A sound-insulated grinder ensures ultraquiet operation, and a sensor alerts you when it's time to add coffee beans. 96-fl.-oz. cap. 12 1/4"x17"x14 1/2" high. #25-6705867 $3199.00 Free shipping"

Here's the link to the capresso website:

Good luck!

Furthermore, there is an excellent section on the Boyds.com site which discusses brewing systems for coffee.

http://www.boyds.com/coffee/brewingsystems.html

I know you've got Seattle's Best and Starbucks in Seattle, but have you guys tried Boyds? It's located down in Portland.

I also recommmend reading their "Brewing Guide" - it's a debug kit for coffee-brewers.

http://www.boyds.com/coffee/brewingguide.html

Now, I know that you guys are looking for a good coffee-making machine. That's why I've been bugging Google for answers.

Here's the "Hotel De Ville" of coffee brewers: your VERY OWN ESPRESSO CART W/ UMBRELLA! (that's right, wtf?!) Check it out here:

http://www.boyds.com/business/equipment/carts.html

Now, let's say that you don't have room for an Espresso Cart (unless, of course, it can be fitted with a workstation). Here's a piece of equipment that will eat up your counter space and keep the entire team caffinated all night long:

http://www.boyds.com/business/equipment/espresso/renekaID123-t wo.html

It's called the "Italia D’Oro® 1,2,3 Spresso® Brewing System"

And it's a real professional piece of equipment. If you go into a Coffee Shop, you're paying 3 big ones for a double mocha cappucino. Well then, imagine the kudos you earn when you install one of these mamas IN-HOUSE. You'll be CHARGING your employees to work at Bungie, they'll love you so much. And by "you" I mean each one of you. Including you, Frankie.

Best of luck with this indeavor. When you have made your choice, Bungie, and have installed your coffee-brewing machine, please let me know. I'd be happy to stop by to give it the official thumbs up.

Sincerely,

Method

Modders? Ewaghhhhh, hereing that word want's to make me blow chunks. Even that but Bungie can't fix it.

Only, can XBOX Live handle it, because they have each subscription and ya ya ya yaaaaaaaaaaa.

But, I have been thinking this in my head since the day I was modded.

IF YOU CAN'T DO IT LEGITIMATELY, DON'T DO IT AT ALL.

YOU RACHED BASTARDS.
