[Insert generic bitching about the playlists, specifically Team SWAT, here]


Yeah, it really is sad to see SWAT go, considering that was the playlist I played the most (by far).

I don't think they should remove Team SWAT. Playing this, it's helps you with your aiming. 1 head shot, and you're dead. It's a good "warm up" game to play, seeing as how you have to shoot them in the head to be the most affective. Myself, as well as a lot of my friends, play Team SWAT all the time. Sad to see it go, PLEASE bring it back soon!

I know this isn't too on topic. But they made a mention of it and it is concerning me. That is the commercial. Its fake, CG, and if past experience has anything to say it will look next to nothing like the actual game (I'm talking about you COD2). Personally, I'm not interested in "cool" fake scenes. I wanna see what the game is going to actually look like. I don't need another trailer, commercial, etc. that just gets my hopes up for something that probably won't be there. I don't need hype. I think Bungie needs to be real careful about this, because people will bite them in their a-- if things go wrong. And surely if something is wrong with the game, critics will look at the upcoming commercial as ammunition. That's really, it.

The only question I have, is this. Will the beta be a downloadable demo from Xbox Marketplace? If not, is Bungie planning on releasing a demo prior to the release of Halo 3 anyway? Much like other games like GRAW, Rainbow Six, etc. etc.

Haha! That would be funny to have the option of changing the Elite's death sounds to female quality. That would just be wrong, now that I think of it. I think its cool though that ladies have the option of doing that with the Spartan though, I just hope *ahem* male sexist freaks have at least 0.0000001 intelligence and shut the freaking heck up or burn in damnation.

I hope you can still play as an elite as well

Something no one is mentioning in this post, or anywhere else for that matter, is THE FREAKIN' MARATHON SYMBOL.

WHY WON'T YOU TELL US WHY OR HOW THE HALO UNIVERSE WORKS INTO MARATHON... why, Bungie?

It keeps me up at night... Especially since I have such an affinity for the trilogy.

For those who don't see it... look above the trigger finger next to the shiny bolt. A slightly embossed Marathon symbol is there... like it is in the standard Halo insignia/logo.

Maybe in the next Halo universe trilogy...

Regarding the two images of Master Chief that were shown in this update:

I would rather see the Master Chief's SPARTAN armor stay the sort of tan color that appears in the Halo3 trailer.

Meaning that, it would be better for Master Chief to have his armor the color of when he was shown in the Halo3 trailer.

I'd rather see him in a tan colored armor than the traditional army green.

The green color has gotten a bit boring in my opinion.

EDIT: I would reeaaallyy like the Master Chief to stay the same color as in my AVATAR.

Multi-Team is the most unique playlist there is. It is my favorite and I hope that it is brought back next year. We have playlist for parties of 2, 3, 4, or more. If we take away Multi-Team what are our parties of three supposed to do? Get a de-ranker or quiter on their team? How about mess up Team Training so that it splits up parties. That's a good idea.

Please bring back Multi-Team next year. Thanks!

YEA, and that would make sense too because of all the "wear and tear" from fighting.

An Easter Egg already, perhaps? They might take it out in the game but it seems like its the same scenario with the Battle Rifle's Japanese symbols.

(On another note) I sure hope they do as much or more secret stuff in Halo 3 like they did in Halo 2. Scavenger hunt for the soccer ball! W00T!!

Why would such a huge playlist like team swat go? I don't understand? wuoldn't it be smarter to leave the two most popular in the list, for sure?


ill give you a hint HALO 3 NEADS TEAMy SWATy?

  • 11.20.2006 11:01 PM PDT

Why would you get rid of more games that are un-ranked? Those are the only ones I will play cause the chances of getting cheaters in there is slim. I am outraged to see that the only way to play a good game is to have to make it ranked and get cheated against every four or five games.

I am unsure if anyone on the first page even read the freaking thing, how can they say nice update... when there is no good news in there whatsoever?

Guess its back to GoW or hell I would even rather play Viva Pinata at this point over halo, at least you dont have to worry about the creatures stand bying you or superbouncing.

I just don't understand why SWAT would be removed...
I loved Team Carnage and ActionSack... spent most of my time on there because I'm a custom game fan and I didn't have to HOPE that one of my friends was custom gaming.
However, SWAT was the most enjoyable list and I'm sure it wasn't the least favorite of them all. If you are going to remove one... why not remove, say, Double Team, probably the least played of the kept. Useles...

Yup, almost all of the enjoyable halo 2 lists have been removed/screwed over. I'm going to get my 360 replaced ONLY for gears of war. No more H2 for me. Maybe halo 3 wont suck but i honestly think it will now that bungie has handed all their decision making over to a semi retarded monkey....
