Windows phone 7 does not support the touch version of the site. IE just doesn't have the html 5 features we are using. It should be downgrading your view to the mobile version of the site. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] GanonSmash Regarding the new B.net mobile features: It's great that these features are available, but they don't seem to work on Windows 7 Phones. I'm on the HTC HD7 and I'm having a few problems... -I can't scroll through top news articles on the main page. I can see only the first story in portrait mode, and in landscape I see the first article and half of the second. -I can't see any of the Reach pages. I can access the screen with links to screenshots, challenges, etc, but when I click on anything, the page loads for a second, and I'm stuck on a blank white page. Same goes for the careers page. -Entering my gamertag on the Reach homepage just sends me back to the news page. -The icons in the tabs on the top-right are getting cut off. Only the top-left quarter of each image shows. [/quote]

Lots of great submissions for this week's All Stars. I had fun making mine and am really happy with how it came out. Bit disappointed it didn't make the update but hopefully I still have a shot at winning or at least a star. In the end I had fun designing it and am looking forward to next weeks! Great work everyone! Matchmaking next week looks like it will be tons of fun. I'm glad to see Firefight Arcade is back and I'm glad to see new things in Score Attack! Multi-Team looks like it will be a lot more interesting. Though not that happy 3 Ball is back as I never was a fan of it but oh well, not that big a deal. Looking forward to next week!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Hylebos [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Bat Z I freaking knew you had thoughts on removing weapon pickup in Arcade. It's funny how you (as in Bungie employees) first state that the b.net community isnt representing the entire population and then plan on removing something just because two people were loud about it in a dedicated thread.[/quote] They also said that the Forum was a useful starting point for ideas. They probably looked at the data gathered from Firefight Arcade and noticed that everybody was ignoring the spirit of the gametype and were simply picking up Fuel Rod Guns so they could get kills easily and finish games quickly and get more credits in Arcade than they would playing any other mode. Seems reasonable that they would fix it as a result. The Forums might not be the majority, but that doesn't meant that what we say doesn't matter.[/quote]Standard FF has been out for 5 months. You don't think they would have come to that conclusion already by looking at the Sniper Fight stats? It's completely backwards. Instead of getting rid of it in the gamemodes where it affects the game they're getting rid of it in the single player mode and in modes where you start with a PL, GL, RL or FRG anyway.

I liked ordinary Firefight. I wish they kept it with Firefight limited and Arcade.Some funny cards there too.
-
Great update.
-
Very excited for those playlist updates, but don't forget about the CLASSIC PLAYLIST!!!

Phenomenal update! Can't wait for next weeks changes, the submissions of cards were awesome, & the VES submissions were astounding. Man, I love this game.

Did the stars get handed out? [URL=http://katancik.deviantart.com/art/Bungie-Birthday-Card-196158046]Mine[/URL] made it but I didn't get a star. I'm really thrilled mine was one of the best though :) I'm keeping this page bookmarked :D

It's funny how you (as in Bungie employees) first state that the b.net community isnt representing the entire population and then plan on removing something just because two people were loud about it in a dedicated thread. It's almost as stupid as getting rid of it in Sniper Attack but not Sniper fight, the latter being where it matters. I was a huge fan of Arcade just because it allowed me to use secondaries that I normally dont get to use against reasonable enemy health. Without the weapon pickup ability it's going to come down to four different types of rocket fight versions and one for melee weapons. Are you deliberatly trying to make the game as static and stale as possible? What's wrong with being able to use different weapons and especially in gamemodes where the start wespon probably is the most powerful weapon in the game anyway? Does it matter if I choose to use a needler instead of a rocket launcher?[/quote] I agree with u whole heartly, i understand if its four ppl and you got some1 ruining the fun for everybody, but who gives a -blam!- if i ruin my fun maybe thats what i'm trying to do. Maybe i want to see how far i make it with just useing a GD needler. And which ever one of your ALL STAR TEAM decided to -blam!- over Mulit-team in the ass THANK YOU VERY MUCH. You have now just left me with a buggy ass Living Dead. AWESOME [/quote] That's Bungie's sign saying "Stop playing are -blam!- game already." RIP Multi-Team. Now what am I suppose to play when my bro visits? [/quote] I know right? "Lets kill the Population even more." "How?" "-blam!--over Mulit team and Firefight Arcade." "Sounds Great." -Bungie [Edited on 02.04.2011 4:15 PM PST]

Awesome! I like seeing the return of Crashsite along with a few new gametypes added into Score Attack. Also congrats on the VES award! Some of those cards look pretty cool. [Edited on 02.04.2011 4:16 PM PST]

I did have fun making my noblepocalypse card then making it again after reading it was being folded. Submitted Monday then from work on Thurs after making adjustments for folding. I was worried id be disqualified for the first entry, but it really was fun. just like the emblem contest even though the final game system showed it would look like a women private so ultimately never made it in game... I'll enjoy the rest of all stars and submit every week.
