The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

Ah cool, tkblingx2 is Paul Lewellen right? Temptation is the only map I couldn't find for DL. Ask him to fileshare it please.

Thanks

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.

Everything is looking good. I think I want that new gametype in matchmaking!

"Seems to me you should spend less time on that article and more time working on that novel you've been working on!!!"

That comic at the end was awesome. Put that in the next Halo Graphic novel anthology thing, it's amazing!!

Why is snipers always left out of an update?

*Sighs*

Last update, we lost 2 good maps.

Next update you're going to take out atom because more forum kids -blam!- about getting spawn killed.

I can see it now ...Boardwalk, Boardwalk pro, none of the above...Next choices Powerhouse, Powerhouse pro (everybody dashboards)

Why!! I want Boarding action and geographer. (I think thats how you spell it.)

Wow, you did it! You really featured my portrait of Marty! Such a great honour! I hope that Marty likes it...

Poor Marty, he looks like he's a burn victim in that picture...


Well, it's my first oil painting ever, and the brushes at school weren't optimal... (btw. I don't exactly like how the eyes turned out, and the smile looks kinda creepy ;-) )

Not all submissions featured in the BWU are winners. If the star isn't available in your game settings here on Bnet by now then you weren't a winner, but you did get in to the update so its not all bad news :)

  • 04.23.2011 7:02 AM PDT

please bungie, give us back our ability to pick up weapons in firefight arcade!

why did you remove this anyway? there was no reason...it just reduced the fun :(

now everyone is going for FRG or rocketfight and blast the hell out of the covenant and you cannot get many kills with weapons like the pistol or spiker etc.

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.

tl;dr

(haha)

We were somewhere around Barstow...

Tell Jeremiah we love him. As yet, we merely like urk.

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

Still no new maps for the living dead playlist?

Actually, they look more like pumas. (RvB reference FTW!)

Yet another great update. Thanks Urk!

Good update! I'm especially looking forward to more community maps being implemented into normal playlists.

That Plasmaball looks pretty fun. I'd have a lot of fun playing that in action sack.

Interesting that Squad Slayer won't have any Armor Lock. I myself want to start to focus on Active Camo and try to get better with it, and I'm interested to see what AA's everyone else will use.
