I should of posted a theory that this would happen. Bungie loves Halo2 why would they spend thousands of hours of their lives for crap, right?. . . This made me luagh so hard. Even though I new it was kinda coming.

Bad update and the worst Mister Chief I've seen. Only thing that sounds interesting is that new feature which he revealed nothing about so really a useless update the Hot-spot thing seemed cool but I have no idea how to read it. Is the white or blue the kills? if it's blue then the whole level is a hot spot and if it's the white those thinks aren't just hot-spots they're the only spots people get kills. Explain that thing to us.

  • 01.26.2007 6:39 PM PDT

Just remember... I keep it real...

Really nice. I really want to play some SWAt... and even more... Halo 3 Beta! Well since I wasn't picked due to how I will be turning 17 (April) probably atleast one month max from the Beat release I now have to break down and actually buy Crackdown. Atfirst I thought the game SUCKED! Like really! I thought it was a piece of crap. But now that I played the demo it grew on me. I see it as Crackdown is $30 and Halo 3 beta is $30. So that ways I don't cry when I spend the $60 total purchase. But yeah, nice. And oh yeah, see all those white spots, I will be filling those in when I DO play the Beta. Also, to the comment of the kid above me, just ignore him. If he honestly doesn't uderstand that graph of death locations then let him talk which will make him feel better.

join the spartan masters they are so cool

And the Red states are mad because the people in the Blue states are making them pay for roads and schools instead of cool stuff like NASCAR and shotguns. -Grif

Now I want to play it more than before, but that is just going to happen constantly till the game releases. By the time it comes out I'll want it 600%.

Two interesting statements.

"Our test team shared a very amusing piece of test data with us – a “map” of kill zones taken using a sampling of about 650k games (all played on the Alpha)."

650,000 games is a LOT. Especially on just one map. I'm surprised that more videos of halo 3 haven't been leaked if this is the case.

"And the MLG boys will sweat blood with excitement. They will all still moan at me about how we nerfed the pistol from Halo One, but this new thing will at least cheer ‘em up for a few months. Or years. It’s that big."

This sounds like a lot of hype, and I thought you learned your lesson Frankie from Halo 2. I'm wondering if this is really true, as it takes nearly perfection to please the MLG crowd. So to say the least, this is really something to live up to. The only clue we have is that this new feature will be welcomed by both tricksters and "professional" players. And I can't really think of anything like that.

Nothing much to see this week, so move along if you're expecting a huge revelation. Some good news about multiplayer matchmaking and a couple of interesting images. We'll have more exciting stuff next week, but for now, on with the show.


Couple?

I saw one. And to that quicksilver kid that posted after me before, when this update was first put up it didn't have that "important note" explaining that blue represents kills and white represents places where people don't die so STFU. If you don't believe me look on the first two pages and you'll see other people expressed this same confusion so check your facts kid.

From what I have seen in the past few weeks it's amazing. I take what I get on the matchmaking with out any compliants I enjoy the game for the game.
I look foreword to finding a copy of Halo3 when it comes out. First I must prey it out of the sweatty hands of a zit faced teen for it first, I would think. Right now I am learning the humitity of legendairy on Halo and Halo2 all over again. I love needlers. Such a nobal and very pink persistant stinking weapon! Sneeky little grunt cowards alway one left to pink me in the back. DIE GRUNTS DIE!

Ah, look at the lonely people...

Please, Friends and Family program information!

And, also, can we have an image of the spartan holding the MA5C from the topstory icon?

"I need a weapon."-Master Chief

I bet the new feature is the ability to mess with the gravity. Ive heard rumors and stuff about it.

  • 01.26.2007 7:57 PM PDT

Master Chief x Samus

By the way, my complaints aside, I'm digging the graphical style of the spartans in the main page icons. They kinda look like awesome action figures.

I think I may know what Frankie was trying to hint at, when he was talking about the new BIG deal thing. What was he hinting at??? Read below to find out:

Halo 1 Playlist. Yep. That's it. Fall damage, H1 pistol, everthing we all loved (or hated) in Halo 1 will now be wrapped into one unique & totally awesome playlist. I guarantee it..........

  • 01.26.2007 8:24 PM PDT

I didn't get invited to the beta... bungie kept raising my hopes with email after email saying halo 3 on it. but non saying i am one of the chosen ones...lol starwars.
