Oh well, I missed it. I'm not getting it unless it's free anyways. I've bought every map pack for Halo 3 when they came out, but I'm fairly disappointed with Reach. Mainly in the aspects of Leveling and Armor unlocking.There's no real achievement armor now, and that was alot of the fun in Halo 3. Now you have to level to insane heights, spending countless hours playing matchmaking to get anywhere.

I'm not a booster, nor will I be, but I find it stupid that I have to be a certain rank to get the armor I want, and there's no alternative way to unlock it. You know what level I was in Halo 3 after 3 years of playing it? Lieutenant Grade 1. All I wanted out of matchmaking was the armor. I wanted to customize my spartan. Now I'm forced to play matchmaking or constantly relive the same moments in Campaign to get cR. I just think that's ridiculous.


On a unrelated note: Will we be able to access the forums off this new app?

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

Great update, I'm really looking forward to the Bnet mobile site.

What are we supposed to be discussing here?

Fun stuff.

I doubt anyone will see this because it's past page 1, but I realized that one piece of my map was set to spawn only in territories for some odd reason. This was found on December 1st, and I immediately fixed the problem and replaced the map I submitted weeks before with the new one from December 1st. It's tagged and everything and in the same file set, but will it matter? I didn't think you guys would have gotten to my submission yet, and it didn't change anything from the email.

  • 12.03.2010 8:34 PM PDT

Good update. I might buy the maps soon.

  • 12.03.2010 8:39 PM PDT

Live free, or die epically.

@leets, it shouldn't matter, as long as they know that thats all you did.

I can't believe you read past page 1. This is madness. I can't really tell them what I did because it's impossible to get a message through to them.

Pretty good updates. The maps seem pretty good so far and the mobile site seems like a good idea although I probably won't use it.

great work bungie, the maps are incredibly, INCREDIBLY fun, partly because its 6v6 and not 4v4. more people = more action = more fun. i hope the dlc playlist doesnt go away, id hate to play a 4v4 match on tempest

p.s. every playlist should be 6 on 6

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

Mmmmm... drown me in the sweet water of your envy.

Worst update of all time.

Remember when I said I liked your shirt? I LIED.

Tank Beats Everything!

Still waiting on some type of news that something is being worked on or developed or patched or something. Even the typical Bungie-styled vague details would be an improvement in my opinion.

EDIT: It's funny, all these free codes and you still can't get an Invasion game on Breakpoint. Had a neat SWAT game on Anchor 9 though.

Not the greatest update but it's better than nothing.

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Just gonna say: I know its less effort this way to just dump codes into an update and let the first comers have them, but I always find it kinda lame because its essentially just 'fastest fingers first.' I'd prefer codes being given out in mini-contests of sorts, rather than just given out to people who just happen to be among the first to view the update. Kinda cheapens the content in a way.

Urk, I can't believe you are taking pride in your actions of avoiding the real issues in reach for the past 4 weeks by masking it with information about a map pack. I'm referring to the point in this BWU where you were mocking a member who said he/she was happy that the maps were out so the weekly updates could move on.

  • 12.04.2010 6:36 AM PDT

I'd do what ever it takes,Games are my way of life.

Urk, This topic: But its Bad to NOT Play Together, on the new weekly update. Is a little vague could you explain what type of boosting exactly? Dose this include full party boosting?

Register at your local Vault Tec office today! The world might not be there tomorrow...

Urk, I'll be that breath of fresh air for you. On behalf of the community, thanks for posting redeemable codes for the map packs and other such DLC for FREE. That's something I don't see many other companies do and none who do it so frequently. Sure, I didn't grab one in time but it doesn't make me spiteful. The children here are just way too selfish and are the types that instead of responding with "Good Game" in the post-game lobby, reply with insults/curses/or screaming because they got beat fair and square. I, for one, would like to keep having the chance of getting a map pack for free. So, congrats to those who received one. To those who didn't, better luck next time.

Also, to the dude who redeemed the code but had problems, hit the "X" gem button on your controller, scroll right to "Account Management", scroll down to "Download History" and select the Map Pack for re-download. This should solve your problem.

Oh and next time instead of screaming in the forum, call Xbox Live Tech Support. Do you really think Bungie sabotaged that for you with a code issued to them by Microsoft? Please be respectful, children.

Whats BUNGiE's new view on Party Boosting?

You guys already stated that Full Party was ok, is it still ok? If its not then please clarify & let Ferrex know to update his old posts about it.

Here

And Here
I would like clarification on that as well. I only boost to get commendations and near impossible challenges (mostly based on a lack of time to do them) and that's on rare occasions.
