That costume is amazing! Props to whoever created that. I also like the pic for the "Offensive Driver" achievement.
Lastly, I'll take a Moa burger with a side of fries.


LOL dont you mean jackel fingers? and a hunter shake?

Just remember, not only will boosted Challenges NOT count toward the overall tally, they'll likely earn you a Credit reset and some face time in the no Credit corner.

Q: Isn't the 'easiest challenge evar' that is being released on Monday morning a form of 'boosting'?

A: The difference is that it is Bungie sanctioned boosting.

PS Double kill deth from the grave is a dum achieve



Yes we had the double kill achievable in halo 3 and that was hard

I'm sorry, but I am really confused by the community challenge deal. He said it started last week and that we're getting 1.4 million challenges daily, which would be 9.8 million out of 117 million, but the meter clearly shows about 12-15 million a day at least.... And then he said something about how now it won't be early November anymore because we're not getting as many, but at the very end he said he fully expects us to finish this weekend. I am so freaking confused about this Rank Cap Lift.

Am I the only one?

Yeah he did make it very confusing but, here's some things that should clear it up a bit. Firstly, the meter only represents the work we've done sense they put it up, the round part at the bottom apparently represents all the challenges we did previously. Secondly, at the rate we're moving we should be done in just a couple days, maybe by Monday. So I'm not sure why he would say it was going to take longer unless they intend on cheating us and waiting till Nov. 10th to lift it lol

  • 10.30.2010 2:56 PM PDT

oh ok so you think he meant 1.4 per day since release? that would make a lot more sense. But ya it still wouldnt make sense to say that we won't get it this weekend cuz that bar has been raising really fast and with a little help on monday theres no way it'll be after tuesday next week.

Thanks for the help

I can't express how many times I've played that gametype in team slayer and have been sprint assissinated because I'm not doing constant 360s

Not trying to be a smart ass but their is a distinctive sound when anyone is sprinting and if you really listen you should hear it coming from behind you, and if your sprinting he shouldn't be able to catch you.

quite honestly, the use of AA causes the game to be a little bit more TEAM oriented, as in TEAM ARENA...
or are you to young to understand what that means?
give a choice between PRO/DMR and everyone will be happy...

smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

We found the pelican, I helped a bit by proving most theories wrong. But it really goes to kornmanOO, he found it.

Great update ^_^

Can't wait for the level cap raise!

  • 10.31.2010 7:35 AM PDT

It is my latest cultural research project! By randomly saying LOLWIN to semi-funny replies on the Halo 3 forum, I hypothesize that a temperary self-esteem boost will be present.

And once they read this, they will be a little worse off than before.

So, hypothetically, if we were to get a forklift through the area where you get the [Redacted] conversion on [Redacted] after [Redacted]...

I got a secret, its the tip of my tounge on the back of my lungs! I'm gonna keep it. I know somthing you don't know!

Agree with the Elite 'Run' and more frequent big maps especially team snipers or DMR's.. but the playlist games arent necesarly that bad... i mean they might not be everyones cup of tea but bungie puts them in for people who like it... but everyones entitled to an opinion :) anyway i have one of my own; Forge matchmaking??

  • 10.31.2010 2:23 PM PDT

Thank God I'm an atheist.

Can't wait for the new content, I just need to find some time to play the game apart from weekends at the moment!

LOl, all the new ranks and armours are gana be awsome... also new medals like offensive driver included. i just really wish they put more emblems from odst,halo 3 and halo 2, i also wish the SMG was in the game with the red dot sight on it. halo reach took off alot of the weapons off and put it all the werid ones!(plasma luancher,tracer,and combine luancher) and brutes where not in halo wars or halo 1 but they were in halo reach bungie should get there story perfect. the brutes leaded by toturus, enter the halo world in halo 2 half way in the game! and ended halo 3 ending of the game when the war ends and master cheif fate remains unknow of the fate of man kind. mabye just mabye bungie can just get a couple more bucks to make HALO:the movie. SUPPORT BUNGIE FOR THE BEST GAME ON EARTH

Anything but DMR in Arena will make people except those who use Armor Lock in Arena happy. Armor Lock is so unbalanced in Arena, in almost every single game, I was about to finish my enemy with a headshot, he then uses Armor Lock and then I get finished off by his teammate, if he was supposed to die by me, he should have died by me. Even though I love using Jetpack to avoid grenades, atleast there taking AA's of in Arena for good reasons.

Why still whine about AAs so much if they are regarding the least played playlists in the game.

Seriously Bungie, thanks for putting in invasion, it's the best gametype in there!
Too bad there's no such thing as ranked invasion, ranked as in the way most of us still want it to be.

With this update, all they did is keep us busy with a pelican, to slow down the challenges progress, or to soothe us with when they make up something to delay the level cap lift.

On a side note, even though I can't wait for more two of the new maps I'm not quite sure why no one mentioned the value of the achievements in the update.
50 points for a DMR headshot on long range_ come on bungie, we got 10 times less for 5 grenade sticks back in the days.

Overall I'm still bothered that even though I did not participate in alot of community proposals, cries for fixes and so much more complaining on the forums, there are a LOT of peolpe out there who did put time and effort in doing this, that are not being mentioned, nor are Reach's broken sides mentioned anywhere.

Anybody understand what hte heck Urk is saying about lifting the cap? I'm confused. It's Nov 1 and it's obviously that we're gonna hit 117m kills on thermometer by its next update, even if they hadn't thrown in the b.net link challenge.

I swear the only reason the daily and weekly challenges exist is for bungie to do statistical studies in order to complete their plans of WORLD DOMINATION.
