Still ignoring the fact that your game is broken, eh? Good job. Just wondering, why on earth would anyone give 2 -blam!-s about your pentathalon? Biggest load of bull-blam!- Ive ever seen. We want a patch.

Look at the XBL ratings for Reach. Just look at them, and admit your game isn't broken.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

The game isn't broken. Bungie isn't going to change anything back the way it was in Halo 3, this is brand new spanking game. If you don't like the game then don't play it.

On topic: Nice update guys, I wish I can go to Video Games Live but alas I've got no money for tickets. :(

The bloom is broken. Shots shouldn't go randomly all over the cross hair when its expanded. Why would anyone make a game like that?

There is nothing wrong with the DMR. If you want to solve the problem of bloom, use the weapon at a range where you bound to land a shot on your target, in spite of the 'bloom', or use a different weapon altogether. Your name suggests you play MLG, start behaving like a professional gamer and adapt. If that does not suit you, simply stop playing the game. If it's broken and so bad, why keep coming back to it, unless it's not as bad as you're making out. I'm not trying to shoot you down and be nasty, I'm merely highlighting the logical options you have at your disposal.

On topic, however, the update was, once again, fantastic. Thanks Urk, you managed to brighten up my day considerably with your ever faithful antics, I hope you and the rest of the team at Bungie never stop doing what it is you guys do best: Being Awesome.

To the artists whose submissions made it, you guys did a fantastic job, there is some real talent in our community, keep up the good work :)

"Use the weapon at a range where your bound to hit your target". So your suggesting that I only shoot the gun if I plan on spamming close range? That would make the game pointless and stupid, if everyone only spammed.

And yes, I do watch MLG. If I watch NFL, am I obliged to act like an NFL player?

And to suggest that there is nothing wrong with the DMR is insane. As soon as the game was released, people knew there was something wrong. Then panic started to settle in. They messed up the bloom. We trusted that after Halo 1 Bungie successfully implemented bloom, that they could do it again. And they messed it up. No one in their right mind could possibly say this is the way bloom is supposed to work. Its not.

Typical Halo nerd. Move along.

Damn, I wanna ride a Moa now...

I hope that all of these moa related submissions will spur the creation of ridable moa ;)

A hero need not speak. When he is gone, the world will speak for him.

The Moa pictures are awesome.

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

If this is the state of my art, then I secede.

Ew, my username. :C

Look at the XBL ratings for Reach. Just look at them, and admit your game isn't broken.
And also compare the players online graph for Reach with the one for Black Ops.

Amazing artwork!

Congrats to all of those who were featured.

Simple solution: Use the Needle Rifle, Bloom has a MUCH smaller effect on it, but don't spam it like hell either. And if the DMR didn't have Bloom, then people would complain about it being unstoppable.

  • 01.22.2011 6:30 AM PDT

Awesome update, especially the moa pictures :)

  • 01.22.2011 7:43 AM PDT

The Moa stuff was funny, but some information on any ACTUAL matchmaking updates would be nice. It's been ages since we got any real information.

  • 01.22.2011 7:44 AM PDT

Did people complain about the H2 and H3 BR being unstoppable? No, they worked perfectly. Then Bungie attempts to implement bloom, like they did in H1, and they somehow mess it up.

And how are you all content with this update?

*facepalm*

  • 01.22.2011 7:47 AM PDT

Love the submissions!! Good update!

While I didn't submit anything for the contest, I can say it's pretty lame there is only one winner. There are SO many amazing pieces of art shown there. There should be more like 10 winners or something.

The winning submission was fantastic though. Yet, so were others. My 2 cents.


And what a shocker pic of Marty. Seriously...holy hell.

The BR was overpowered yeah, dont get me wrong I loved it but dmr without bloom? way overpowered and imagine someone using a rapid fire switch?

Arena is the problem

On topic I quite liked the cage but still looking forward to the new one.
