Subject: Bungie Winter Pethathlon Live!

"Universally praised?" Bungie needs to look around a bit more at the response to the community maps. I've seen very very mixed feelings about this first batch. And many of the maps have basic and more advanced issues. I hope Bungie is willing to choose maps that have been heavily tested for issues or can change and refine the final winners so we can avoid frustrating and unfair exploits and bad spawns.

s3x on the flag

I tried to redeem all the code listed but it says they are not valid - can you send me a new one? I have completed all of today's challenges.

Why would that matter lol

/smite everyone

Urk, please tell us what those codes were for!

P.S. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, the 1/7/2011 Bungie Weekly Update contained two codes. The codes were:
P47XT-G2RP3-XR3DF-PRWYQ-4VFCZ
YRMDR-GYJYH-K4C9J-QM729-QMJTZ

P.S.S. Xbox.com: "This code has already been used." I blame Stosh.

P.S.S.S. Vote for what you think it was here!

All the playlist updates seem awesome. Classic firefight and grifball are going to be intense but why are they only going to be for a limited time only?? I think that will anger people if you give them Grifball and Classic Firefight then take it away after a few weeks. That would LITERALLY be like taking candy from a baby.

Couldn't agree more, I mean Classic FireFight is something people have wanted for so damn long...that needs to be permanent, and as for Grifball, well you did say it was originally going to be released with MLG, so most people were expecting it to be a permanent fixture, now I've learned that it's only going to be there for a short time, I'd rather not play it than play it and end up wanting it when you've yoinked it from the system...

Agreed. I would really like some clarification on this as to why they are only for a LIMITED TIME ONLY or maybe a more in depth explanation as to what playlists are only going to be released for a short period of time. PLEASE Bungie keep Classic Firefight and Grifball around foreva mane

Might be for population control so that we don't get spread too thin. When there is under a certain amount of player per playlist, those extra options (connection, chattiness, etc) won't mean BLAM!.

Perhaps they will review how well those playlists do, and replace some existing ones. I'd be just as bummed as you guys when it is over, so hopefully there is good reason.

At the very least, when Grifball and FF Classic are gone, bring the next playist up ASAP. It kept things interesting in Halo 3 knowing each weekend there would be something new. The daily challenges are very.. repetitive to say the least. It is also difficult to get certain ones (target locator) due to the challenge being the same for everyone.

The population concept does make sense but I feel the player party options like chattiness and language don't really matter in the first place.

Woohoo! Griffball! My favorite time waster shall return! OR THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES "cue epic music"

Great games, Bungie, as well as an awesome update this week. I'm glad to see Griffball is making a return.

So does this mean we can buy stock in Bungie? Or are they still a private company?

We fight for honor. We fight for glory. We fight for our brothers and our homeland. But most importantly......we SMASH. We are the ELITES THAT SMASH. Anyone can join, we have games, warfare, tournaments and more. We're always looking for new members, so stop on by.

Just have to say, whoever is in the last picture with the blonde hair, is really, really hot.

What?

I would bet it's due to testing ;)
When Bungie releases new stuff, they like to give it tome to be evaluated and tested by the masses, so issues can be removed before it's made permanent, like Firefight versus, if you remember?
All the Grifball and Firefight sounds awesome in theory, but we must test it first to see if it "flies.". Maybe some AAs need to be modified, some maps are broken or something like that, hence Bungie lets us try it out, vote with our data/i8jnput on the forums, and then they'll release a final version that is even even more awesome (hopefully) :D
Grfball, Firefight here I go!
Thanks a lot Bungie for actually listening to people and making a great game a whole lot better ;)

I knew it probably had something to do with testing the playlists. But, I still think they could just put an update out to fix all the issues in the playlists instead of just taking them away to be fixed. But as long as they will be permanent at some point in the Reach timeline I am fine with that.

The above statement is false.

Grifball for a limited time only? Hope it soon gets a permanent playlist.
