Those matchmaking updates look really tempting...... I just hope this isn't just some sick April Fool's joke on Bungie's part though >.> If not, Looks like April is going to be one sweet month for Halo!

Bought a wristband, then read the update. That's pretty awesome that they're number one in the clothing section of Amazon. Shows what gamers led by an awesome game development team can do.

Also: Added a HUD widget for CTF gametypes which show when your flag is away from home or held by an enemy.

Thank ya kindly. Been waiting for that. Overall good updates all around. Will be interesting to play Arena with no Evade, but I'll adapt I suppose. Thanks for showing everybody you're listening!

Urk answer me please " where is living dead's love at?"

Talk to Jeremiah. He's the expert who can give you an answer. Anything Urk would be able to tell you would have come from him.

Damn this mm update look sick, thank you Bungie! Only thing that seemed weird to me was the "Added a HUD widget for CTF gametypes which show when your flag is away from home or held by an enemy." So now we can see where the flag is when an emey is carrying it. that seems kind of wrong, maybe it's a typo?

No, it means that there'd be like a yellow indicator on the bottom right of the screen by the scores to let you know when your flag is away. Right now you have no way of knowing if your flag is away except for the "flag stolen" announcement and if you miss that, you're screwed.

Oh ma gawd! Bungie listened, and they listened HARDCORE.

ACTION SACK?! HELL YEH!
COMMUNITY BTB! HELL FCKING YEH!
CLASSIC! JIZZ ALL OVER MY ROOM!!

On a more serious note though, everything involved in this BWU was awesome, I have a feeling April is going to be a good month for Reach. The pics were completely awesome too.

PS: CTF will be a thousand times more awesome now that we will be able to know when our flag is away, God damn, my room's all fkcd up now. But it was worth it.

Hook me up for a play-date

I just want to know when we're going to be able to check file-shares in the game lobbies and also when bungie favorites will make its return.

Greatest update in a long time!! Looking forward to all the new match making updates coming on the 29th!

I wish you guys would implement a "Race" playlist. It's one of the few gametypes that you haven't utilized to it's potential in Matchmaking. Sure it was in Rumble Pit for about three weeks, but that's it.

As a race fan and with all of these awesome racetracks that communities all across the net are making, I'm more than disappointed that we haven't seen a racing playlist appear in some shape or form. It wouldn't be that hard to do either. In fact, I dare Bungie to make a Racing playlist, because if they haven't done it by now, they probably won't ever do it.

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.

I completely agree with this guy, we definately need race as a hopper =(

Best news ever, Thank you for that Bungie.
Also Action Sack looks nice, lots of fun coming our way.

Will is everything.

Awesome, awesome update. Love hearing about how the community is pulling together for Japan; I will definitely be getting some wristbands! Also I'm really happy about a lot of the changes and updates for April. It's nice to know the Bungie boys and girls are taking Reach seriously even after a changing of the guards in happening.

Best updates I've seen so far in the "random updates section." Lovin the Falcons on Breakpoint.

The Flag and Stockpile variants look cool, too. Reminds me of CoD flag. Unfortunately I'll be on vacation until about a week after the update.

Thank you urk for finally delivering an exceptional update. I've been waiting for this one for awhile.

Community BTB, Actionsack, Falcons on Breakpoint, CTF notifications, and a classic playlist to satisfy everyone else, well done. Well done.

  • 03.19.2011 11:20 AM PDT

So many updates that I had been waiting for! Good job Bungie.
