Not the best update ever, but the part about the map pack was pretty good.

lol at bungie loosing half of their players to black ops =] been a fan of Halo since the first PC game and a serious player all the way up through halo 3 but man i gotta say.... bungie... you really @#$%ed up reach. lol

oh oh and lol at pros not even being able to kill people after blooms. id say a good 58% luck to hit that last head shot. and if youre in a close of fight lol just forget it. it becomes a rock paper scissors game. and armor lock/jet pack do i even have to go into that? arena is -blam!- in general because of that. havnt played reach since black ops came out (not a huge cod fan but theres not as much bs as there is in reach) and probly wont until mlg playlist comes out. only then will it be semi bearable.

maybe instead of counting your $$ you should play some games and listen to how much people complain about all the bs in your game bungie???? yeah try it

mk byeeee =]

Well I like the look of the Noble Map Pack. And there's no doubting the awesome potential contained within this paragraph:

Posted by: urk
In fact, we're finding so many interesting community-crafted maps that we're thinking about rolling out multiple playlists for the key game types, each packed with a variety of offerings for you to experience and sort of test out in our live environment. Details are sketchy at the moment, but the more we play test your work, the more it looks like we need to explore a more official rotation for a lot of these maps. As we start to flesh out how and when we'll be able to commit to doing that (or even if) I'll make sure to keep you up to speed in this space.


...if that comes true, it would be truly fantastic.

But I, like many others on here, was hoping for at least a few words addressing some of the issues raised by the community. Even if it was just an acknowledgement of some of the more minor concerns; changes which would increase playability without fundamentally changing the gameplay itself - like...

Playlist update
-Elite Slayer playlist added
(Elite Slayer removed from TS playlist)
Elite Slayer playlist consisting of the following gametypes with loadouts modified accordingly:
-Elite Slayer (Armour Lock removed)
-Elite SWAT
-Elite Snipers
-Elite + Spartan Multi-Team
-Elites vs Spartans Slayer
-Elite BTB

...or something like that. I can't imagine it would take much for this kinda thing to be implemented and it would address one of the most common concerns expressed in the playlist forums. These kind of changes would at least keep a large portion of the community playing whilst a more radical Title Update is being developed. (Which I estimate will not arrive until January at the earliest, when compared with similar updates for H2 and H3, if indeed it ever arrives.)

Another week of a broken game. Oh wait, Reach is already collecting dust stacked on top of guitar hero and other 2 year old games. Shame.

Wow, my heart jumped when i saw how simple the textures were on the new maps. For a moment, I really thought Bungie finally understood that when you don't have so many details, it's much easier to oriëntate, and more fun to play on - until I hovered my mouse over the picture. Thats just me, but I REALLY mean it: LESS detail IS MORE fun.

- Dragon Ball/Z/GT and it's merchandise are awesome.
- All "abriged" parodies are hilarious.
- Humanity, as a whole, is stupid.
- I have asperger's syndrome
- This is the best used 20 seconds of your life
- Official helper to the Halo: Reach - The Armor You'll Be Wearing This Fall! Thread

Heh...

I'd love to hear the weekly adventures of Stosh and his cat.

  • 11.20.2010 8:32 AM PDT

Thank God I'm an atheist.

Looking forward to more information on Beta testing and lmao at Bad Cat!

How has no one commented on that epic Falcon splatter???

Nice update

whats the point of posting a weekly update if your not actually updating anything? May i say that i am a big halo fan and have been playing since CE. With each new release players have to adopt a slightly different play style. some people may not like it but this is the halo we have now and it still does have the same feel we know and love but with some major changes.
With all that being said one thing that is bothering me is the map hemorrhage. Im going to be blunt...Its just horrible. im sorry bungie i dont want to be another one of the complainers but really?! really? you brought that hell hole back after you made so much progress with maps like valhalla and sidewinder. Im all for wide open spaces but its just plain boring and frustrating with such a lack of options regarding planning and maneuvering around the map. i mean we have a huge field with a handfull of rocks, some minor topographical features, a cliff and 2 caves. and lets just say the bases havent really changed at all.
My point to that huge rant is that if you play BTB at all you will know that hemorhhage gets played at least 8/10 times you que for a game.... i think this is mostly due to kids wanting to rip around in vehicles(i myself prefer to stay on foot).
I propose that you guys at bungie release a playlist of community desinded maps that get the bungie seal of approval. like you added this amaging forge and i for one have seem some very very immpresive and legit maps for both 4v4 and 8v8. the problem is you cant always fill a custom game.

Lol @ the Cliffy B reference. I think he hates to be called that now, so the lulz have been doubled.
lol, just what I was thinking. Somewhere, "CliffyB" is cursing at the sky

I blame stosh.


Proud tester of the Halo 3 beta.

Maps turned out gorgeously! Can't wait to play them!

  • 11.20.2010 12:43 PM PDT

dat feeling when you plow a multi-ton covenant war machine.

Above angry post aside, I do wish forge world would have had more color options.

Maybe one of the noble maps will change this.(forgot the name of the forge heavy one.)

"You are the last of your kind. Bred for for combat, built for war, you are master of any weapon, pilot of any vehicle... and fear no enemy."

Great update. Can't wait for the new maps. :]

  • 11.20.2010 6:37 PM PDT

Ad honorem

That all sounds great. But no news on arena or bringing back (or not) visible true skill still just the one unforgiving play list, those new maps deserve better. maybe they will mention it next week................:)
