Subject: Please Urk, explain something to me.


Posted by: urk
Halo 3's flames weren't set up like Halo: Reach's, as part of the Armory. We would have to force them on and players wouldn't be able to switch them off. Ever.


I smell some lies here:

If I remember correctly (and I do) to activate flames in Halo 3 during Bungie Day 2010, you had to change your chest piece to Bungie.
I remember I could switch to other chests, and I remeber I saw some players going flameless too.
So we could choose to wear or not the Bungie chest, as well as you employees do (I remember Shishka used to wear Katana as you can see in this screenshot).
So please, could you say me what changed in one year, so that you can't give flames, and why we can't have Bungie chest, other than the excuse of "being forced to activate it permanently without possibility to switch it off for all players"?
I'm being a little rude here, but please could you explain in detail why can't you give it?
I cannot believe what you said, because you (Bungie) provided us proofs that giving Bungie chest as a normal armor piece is possible.
I'll be grateful if you find some time to answer me (and part of the community as well), to give me and other people an in-depth explanation of the "phenomenon" (which I believe occured between 07/08/10 and now).
Also, if you really read all the post, I would like to point a grammar error in your Bungie Aerospace home. The correct latin phrase would be Per audaciaM ad astra. With the "per" you must use accusative case, not ablative one.
Thanks,
-DarthGalm

P.S. I'm adressing to urk because he made that statement, but other employees answers are welcome too! Please don't be shy, answer here!

Yes, there're too many numbers in my name.

If they can't be taken off, then how do you explain Bungie Day 2010?

  • 06.24.2011 11:48 AM PDT

ATTENTION MODERATORS. My latest ban (14-day ban from Qbix89) is not legitimate, take a look for yourself. Please review this before considering me a "repeat offender". Thank you.

I think the only reason they wouldn't do it is that giving every player flames in Halo 3 would result in the permanent Bungie nameplate, with or without the Bungie chest turned on.

Still, I see no problem with that. Referring to my previous post in the thread urk posted in, Halo 3 had it's days. Since I see that Bungie is firing everything they got for Halo: Reach, they should do the same with their other game, with notice towards the exceptional fact that their other game is no longer supported or updated by anyone anymore in terms of changes, and that it's population is well below Halo: Reach, being in (I believe) the thirteenth place on the Xbox Live population leaderboards.

You can still ask for one though. If an official statement is made and there's strong evidence against it, people are going to question.

Where did I write that they owe me an explanation? Please point me the exact line.
Saying please at the beginning of a question actually counts as asking a favour, to me.

Well, so he shoud come: I'm wrong according to his statement.
Please urk, I'm curious, answer me!

BTW I'm playing some Halo now, I'll be back in a few hours to check this thread. Please keep this alive.

The Halo 3 Bungie nameplate was activated on Bungie day for everyone, whether you liked it or not. With these Reach gifts, you have more freedom.

Yes, we don't want you to have flames in Halo 3 and we're lying to cover it up.

:|

Last year was custom code. We deployed it, remained in control of the back end, and later turned it back off. I asked our guys to investigate doing something similar for this year (which they are still doing), but I can't guarantee it will come to fruition, even though I want it to.

Since we will lose access to title support for Halo 3 soon, we need to be careful and considerate with how we impact the people still playing it, and ensure that the new stewards aren't passed a smouldering server in need of immediate repairs.

Responsibility. It's a -blam!-.

I don't like Reach. At all. So I would rather have access to Halo 3's Bungie chest. That's my personal opinion. There are basically no reasons why Bungie can't or shouldn't give us this armor permutation in a game that is outdated and being outdone by their more modern game, Reach. Please give me one reason why Bungie shouldn't give us this remaining permutation in Halo 3.

I'm not demanding it, but seeing how it's such an occasion, it would make a lot of people happy. Sorry if your opinion is otherwise.

Edit: Saw urk's post. I was right.

Since Bungie will be loosing support of their game, if they do not give us the permutation now, we will probably never have access to it. Hopefully we may be blessed by a last ditch effort. Who knows.

I suggest you swap the Ar's properties with the BR's properties but keep the same 'skin' for each rifle, in Halo 3.

And watch the rage ensue.

I would like to mention the kids who are convinced that you did something similar to Halo canon.

You, specifically, and your beard.


Anyways, wasn't there also a concern (for the Halo 3 setup, SPECIFICALLY) that having sixteen people, all with flaming helmets, in a room would kind of suck on the performance end?

EDIT: Gosh, Urk. I've been making jabs at you all week. I'm a bad person.

Maybe not, but you WILL be buying me one real soon.

Someone already said that, better come up with a cover up quick.
