"Be Silent and Swift..."

Pretty good update. I'm excited for the matchmaking changes.

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

Some amazing rock art, good update.

We were somewhere around Barstow...

Tell me more about Power Slayer! Sounds crazy.

Some of the maps for the Classic playlist are epic. Particularly that Gemini remake. Well done on getting those community maps in.

Excited for the first time in ages.

smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

I expect Dodgeball, Sumo, incredibly retarded Race gametypes, and a few crazy Infection variants from Action Sack.

No news of an Elite Playlist or a hint to a big Easter Egg.

:(


Still a great BWU thought, best one in a LONG time.

I want those playlist updates NOW!

That's what I love most about Halo. Once you think you've run out of ways to have fun, more get invented.

im glad that you guys are updating so many playlists, but how did you manage to miss the living dead playlist???
all it needs is some custom infection maps (the default maps are just camping grounds), gametypes (save one bullet, creeping dead), and 16 players instead of 8 (its a zombie apocalypse not rumble pit!).
oh and giving the zombies sprint instead of evade would help to.

I've lost all steam for halo itself, I think I might just rent H3...

That's like saying sex has lost it's steam.

Good update but I'm curious about some of the changes in matchmaking. Why take out evade out of Arena and Doubles? Evade is my favorite new addition because it adds more depth to strafing and out maneuvering your opponent. Also why no Pinnacle in Team Snipers? One of the better maps in that playlist because that map is suited for long range combat (sniping) and has good sniping spots.

My last issue is with the MLG playlist update. MLG doesn't include that many gametypes/maps. MLG v3 (the latest update) only includes the maps: Zealot, Sanctuary, Countdown, Element, and Nexus. All five of those maps have Team Slayer. CTF on Zealot, Countdown, Sanctuary, and Element. Assault on Zealoth and Sanctuary. But for some reason Bungie added a bunch of other maps/gametypes on that list (most of those additional ones were tested for v3 but didn't make it). I don't know if MLG decided to give Bungie a bigger list of gametypes or there was a miscommunication, but someone on Bungie should look into this.

Those who die, will live,
those who live, will die

Awesome update - the playlist changes look awesome!! Can't wait for the new gametypes :)

  • 03.18.2011 5:13 PM PDT

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.

Amazing update. Best one ever, Bungie is outdoing themselves this week with the relief for Japan and this awesome playlist updates!

Awesome!!! Action Sack returns, I am so happy about that. I'm hoping to be able to get a couple wristbands within the next few days. Some pretty awesome submissions for the All-Stars contest again, nice job people!

  • 03.18.2011 5:21 PM PDT

Two things.
A. AMAZING changes being proposed, both to maps, gametypes, and April playlists. Epic! I'm very excited at this point- moreso than I have been in quite some time!
B. April is BUNGLE's month. Urk or Jeremiah... someone needs to make it happen.
:)

Edit: And if I didn't already have the maps, I would be a very happy man right now.

The U.E.S.C. Marathon emblem that appears on my profile was designed by me and picked by Bungie [Bungie All-Star competition] to be available for use by anyone on the Bungie forums.
"Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild"

Thanks Urk! I already had the map pack, but my friend "Im Miqs" was able to download it and now we can both have a blast playing it!

Thank you!!!
