If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.

Urk, can you supply a link on the Mobile site to revert back to the regular site? I have an iPhone, the normal B.net always looked perfect on it. Now when I go to B.net the site sees I'm on a phone and forces me to the Mobile site. I don't want this watered down bare bones stuff on my mini compu...uh, my iPhone.

Have a good vacation and xmas, oh and if Luke is still working over the next few weeks tell him we want some more fun, variety, and liveliness in the daily challenges (like in this thread) please?

There's my hope. It's good to see that we will be receiving some news on improvements and/or future additions to our current playlists within matchmaking. *cough* *cough* AR/Mag *cough* spawns-added-into *cough* BTB *cough* *cough* Please! *cough* Regardless, I cannot wait to hear and see what they are. : )

Awesome.

Can't wait for the holiday cards this year.

In the update it said that you don't need DLC for the permanent playlists, which is fair enough, but I've been having loads of problems connecting to other players/lag/whatever in games ever since the DLC came out, so it's clear there's some sort of a link there.
One time it took me over half an hour to find a game - went on Call of Duty afterwards and jumped straight into a game after searching for about 5 seconds.

Man those guys are lucky, I'd love to be able to play reach on my own personal movie theater. Anyways, great update as usual. Happy Holidays!

Hello! I'm a male!

So the Invasion game type for the DLC map is in the DLC only play list? I wonder how high of a rotation it has. I've played like 3 games and haven't even seen it show up. What is it like .00000000001 chance for it to even pop up as a vote option?

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Marty is lookin' well.

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Thanks for the BWU.

It would be nice if I got a notification that they'd grabbed my files so I could free up some space by deleting the pics and videos.

I have only one free slot and don't really want to remove any more of my maps for newer ones...

Oh, and the online team might put in some extra hours to keep you company on Friday. No promises. They're a busy crew. If they can squeeze something in, they will. If they can't, they won't.

Matchmaking update? And why are your apostrophes weird? I had to change them to quote you.


News stories and other things on the site use characters (like commas, apostrophes, etc.) that aren't used on actual forum posts.

I once heard an old man say " Years ago, i sold my trumpet for something to eat, and know i know it would be better to die of hunger."

I upload a ton of Halo clips on my YouTube channel, feel free to subscribe.

Can't wait for the Christmas card update!

Shocking. More self promotion and advertising. How about some info on fixing this crap?


Did you skip the part where they talked about patience?

"Gaming is having a ridiculously huge TV in a tiny one room apartment. It's staying up until 3 a.m. to win a trophy that isn't real...but is. And though we may pledge fanboy allegiances to different flags, deep down inside, we all serve one master, one king, and his name is gaming! Forever may he reign!"

Also, the confusion that came from 'Full Party Boosting' was the word 'Boosting'. Say what you will, but going into a full party without any idlers is in no way 'Boosting'. Boosters are not able to boost without at least one person sacraficing their k/d, not getting kills, etc.

Ferrex should have been clear from the start...

"Playing with a full party" = OK!
"Boosting with a full party" = NOT OK!

Saying "Full Party Boosting is ok because it doesn't effect other players", naturally caused people to think that guests don't have stats, so boosting with a full party of them was perfectly fine.

It wasn't until people complained about it on the forums, did Bungie "clarify".

Yeah, this was news to me too. Although I think this update clarified that people using "idle" guests in the party would be punished, not the players/guests getting low k/d due to the boosting.

It's a shame, really; I sometimes fell back on the idle guest party boosting to get some of those tough (kill 1000 enemies) challenges. xD

"you do not need to purchase the DLC content"


Win. No wonder Jeremiah is in charge now. I actually don't mind having to pay for them in a month or two, but the old ways of "Buy or it no action right now" is clearly gone and thats a good sign.
