Cool, but why won't you just announce Marathon 4? it's obvious you're making it... There's nothing else it could be.



OMG!!! Could you imagine!? Wow!! that would be so awesome. People need to be hired so this can happen seconday to Halo 3 being made...

Wow if they make a new Mariton game... just wow.

Very nice update, Frankie!

If you will answer more quesitons next week:

Can you define "comfortable" (as in , when you feel "comfortable" enough to talk about the game). We're all very eager to hear about it, no matter what it is :)

nice update. can't wait to hear about how Halo2 looks like on 360.
will there be a few pics perhaps? lol. here is my question for Frankie for next week:

Is Bungie going to give away the story ending of Halo in the movie?
and... am I aloud to ask this question?

  • 11.04.2005 9:55 PM PDT

Given the fact that there is a thread with Ninja 0n Fire saying that BTB has a very low population and that they're considering making it unranked, and the fact that he cleary stated that adding a bit team training was not even an option, it was either making the ranked BTB into training or keeping it ranked.... and the fact that now a 16 players list is being added.... Im thinking thery're unranking big team battle...

and Im very sad :(

I hope to god its the useless major clanmatch thats getting the axe. After all that was the one that ranked the lowest in the stats news story.

EDIT-- and if they know about the superjump, which clearly they do, WHY THE -blam!- -blam!- WON'T THEY DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT?! the flag through the wall was fixed, im sure this can be too.

DOWN WITH BIG TEAM!!!! HAHAHAHA


rofl

it says that they are removing 2 and adding 3.

what i think they are doing is removing clan matches (who plays that crap anyways?). i don't know what they are going to add tho. as long as you keep team hardcore im fine.

Weird... If you take all look at the book, ( This book ) it's pretty strange. Either it's a crazed Halo fan, Frankie is lying to us, or it's really really good photoshopping.

That was a horrible Photoshop job. There are so many inconsistencies in that fake-image compared to the real books, I don't understand how one could expect it to be real.

I just hope that nothing super crazy happens on the one-year anniversary of Halo 2. After all, last year, I was torn, as the release date of Halo 2 coincided with mine and my girlfriend's two year anniversary (11/9/02...). I was almost forced to choose (and as much as I love halo, she would have come first); however gamestop held a midnight sale of the game (saving my life; I would have made far too many halo references in front of her). So please bungie, if you plan on doing anything super crazy, do it the day before/after. That is all I ask.
PS. Please dont kill BTB, head to head is fine (halo is a team shooter!), and you can axe double team, but please leave major and BTB!

Hey i was gone for while did they ever mention what that thing was. I remember them saying there was still something hidden in the game but nothing huge like a skull. Did we ever find out what that was??

Frankie, you and Bungie obviously don't understand these cheaters enough if you think that
1. You can't lag them out... it's quite possible.
2. The modder is going to cry over losing a 2 month.... how oblivious can you be, the modder knows that he is going to get banned, he is just ranking up either a secondary account, or a friends account (or both). Banning the modder doesn't do -blam!-, cause 2 months are pretty accessible, but then they're friends feed off other peoples ranks (like mine) and chill in pre-game lobbys with 37s and 38s thinking they're good, when you guys only ban the modder.


And people ask me why I de-ranked.

People, levels don't matter, MM sucks, play customs and tournys (if your good).

MLG > Bungies MM System

Sorry but its the truth, and you guys have to realize that.

[bbqTurtle asks: I played with a British sounding halo 2 guy, and he said his dad did the credits for Halo 2. We were being standbyed on, and he pulled out his laptop and booted the standbyer out of the game! is this possible?

Nope. And we did our credits here. The "Standbyer" was probably just a host who lost his connection or quit the game. If the timing seemed suspicious, it may have been because your British guy was communicating with the guy who left.]


^ What a lie! It's called Selective Standby and cheaters have used it on me and my team before. Frankie = LIAR.

And that unranked 16 player Slayer should be called "Team Quitfest". I can't even play through a whole Team Snipers match without 4/8 people dropping out.

Oh and, for the love of all things good in the world, don't make Halo 3's online play with host servers. They suck big bratwurst and no one likes them.

oh yeah, i quit alot (in team snipers and multiteam) cos if i get a boring game, im not going to spend the next 10 minutes playing it just to lose anyway - I ONLY ever quit ranked games if

1)My team is being idiots, not obeying common sense, team killing
2)We have already lost and my team is being retarded

i never quit otherwise, but since ts and mt are not ranked, i figure other people wont be that upset if i leave.
(the gist of the story is PLEASE DONT MAKE BTB UNRANKED)


i think what they are doing is this:


adding:
crazyteam (crazygames, unranked, including guests
clanmatch (major&minor combined)
somethingelse

taking away:
major clanmatch
minor clanmatch

this would mean they are taking something away with no-one getting upset


congratulate me in a week (if) im right

  • 11.05.2005 9:11 AM PDT

i wonder what playlists are being scraped? im gonna guess skirmish and head to head.

  • 11.05.2005 9:23 AM PDT

I have a question...Do the Bungie "officials" or moderators ever just go to see if any of their buddies are playing a custom game? If they do, then they should find some good match styles for MM. If you really want any ideas just truly ask around. Which i think you do for the most part, but it seems you guys down there are currently extremely busy with projects.

Also have you seen any of the Fan-Made Halo, and Halo 2 movies made? If you have name you're favorite series, movie, movies, movie group...(any one of those)

-Thanks

  • 11.05.2005 9:33 AM PDT

Damn you roor!

Damn don't get rid of BTB or anything for that matter, I'd rather have to wait a few minutes to start a game and it still be there for us to play. I wonder which are most likely to go... clan matches, btb, h2h?
