http://us.i1.yimg.com/videogames.yahoo.com/feature/critical-hits/1173417 yahoo.com just had on their homepage the "Top 10 rated video games" and guess what bungie. Halo 3 didn't even make the list. Gears of War did though. Remember back when the game was released, there were hundreds of thousands sometimes even over a million players playing Halo 3? Every month that number will most likely go down. All my friends on Live were playing Halo 3, now its CoD4, Guitar Hero, GoW, Assassins Creed, and sometimes even Halo 2. I don't know how you guys at Bungie and most of the people here can play Halo 3 and see a big improvement from Halo 2. I know there was a lot of pressure to make Halo 3 better then Halo 2, but I honestly think you failed (at this point). I was a huge fan of both halo's. And I waited in line for hours for halo 3 at release. I drank Mountain Dew to keep me awake and pumped hours into that game, I wanted that game to be awesome. Now...I want this game to flop. I'm glad it didn't make the top 10. I'm glad the number of people is getting lower. call me when this game gets good... I wont be surprised if you blacklist me AGAIN...

Bungie thats your big problem right now. We don't want a map you can hold the Talladega 500,or the Olympic games in. We want small competitive,fast game play. Your,your own company now time to grow up and make your own prices. Cash cows...[/quote] Another thing if I want to be 7 again and play Mario cart. If i want to play a racing game Ill load up PGR4 or something else. No I put Halo 3 in I can play every other Fkn game out there besides Halo. Tell me whys that?

How did I know this would turn into a debate? Luckily WhiffleBallTony seems to have won the arguement. Basically, Bungie does not directly sell us the maps, so they do not decide to price.

Machinima got Machiniripped
-
what i fail to understand is why the machinima easter egg can only be done on local. if it's a friends only playlist of custom games or something of that nature, why can't we use the technology that Bungie has so readily given to us to create a new machinima. this can only be time for sinister CONSPIRACY THEORY OF THE DAY! Bungie had purposefully left out the easter egg to protect the high tech demands of creating a machinima. if the graphics capture cards could be eliminated from the equation, a flood of easy to produce machinima can be dropped on the streets and put people like [url=http://rvb.roosterteeth.com/home.php]Rooster Teeth[/url] out of the competition *ahem* sorry, that slipped. while none of this is necessarily true, the easter egg should be expanded to custom games at least. what's the worst that could happen?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] sigmapi103 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Pyode Amedha For those of you who keep saying that because Bungie broke away form Microsoft they should have full pricing control of the DLC, you need to understand that although Microsoft does not own Bungie anymore it does own the IP for Halo because Bungie was still a part of Microsoft when they made Halo: CE.[/quote] New content created outside the umbrella of MS should be sole property of Bungie, Not Microsoft. The new maps are being released December 11th, therefore, they should be property of Bungie and they should set the price. They state in the update they are not responsible for the prices. That doesn't compute.[/quote] Does Kellogg's regulate the price that their products are sold at in every grocery store across the nation? No. They regulate the price at which it is sold to the seller, and then it is ultimately up to them what citizens will purchase the item at. Do research on the corporate world before making comments like that.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] sigmapi103 I quote this from their update "we didn't set the price" and "We ain't accountants". Your seperated from Microsoft, yet you claim you don't set the price, and furthermore it goes on saying you (Bungie) can't figure out how much it costs to put together 3 maps? Seriously, what are you Enron? I can't even believe you would make such statements. How about answering the following question: Who set the price for the new DLC? MS? MS Game studios? And who is doing your payroll if you "ain't accountants"? You "ain't" telling the truth either. Reposted from a locked thread designated as a "repeat". I am not complaining about the price, rather, the inconsistency of the statements made within the update. And no, Xbox Live's TOS does NOT state they set the prices for DLC or as they term it "premium content". [/quote] They don't choose the price. Have you ever been to different supermarkets? The same exact product can cost a different price, right? Basically, it's the seller who decides the price, not the maker. Bungie will decide the price that Microsoft must pay to sell them. The maps are sold through Xbox LIVE Marketplace, not a Bungie-regulated store. Microsoft decides it, not Bungie. [Edited on 12.01.2007 11:07 AM PST]

I love to see Bungie completely land a bow on all those "Too expensive!" or "Melee sucks!" or any other complaint you can think of. Bungie = best company of all time. Out of all the companies that I've ever heard of, game-related or not, Bungie kills 'em all.

Frankie gives some straight answers. I am satisfied. Thankyou Bungie.
-
the main problems with sidewinder were that it was far too large for the slow-moving halo 1 characters, and that you needed a lot of people for it to be good... now that the people are faster... and there is xbox live... i want to see a new sidewinder... please
-
So basically you guys want to ruin making machinima because your too lazy to test something... yeah, makes total sense. Nice job guys, nice job.
-
PLEZ CAN I HAS BTB SKRM RANKED? BTB Skirmish Ranked PLEASE in the new update!!! Tired of playing with noobs. I want it more than my 2 front teeth for Christmas! Looking forward to the new maps (but I'd like a reason to use all the giant maps 8v8) Love, Chaz86
-
Great update. Still, I am almost willing to sacrifice abuse of the the Machinima Down on the D-pad trick, just so i can make better films in H3. o well tho, there is always the ability of having four actors lower their weapon in a game...
-
Awesome update, very excited about Team Hardcore being introduce - coincidentally after I created a custome gamemode of it a couple of days back. Map prices don't really bother me, as long as they have a long life span.
-
[quote]it’s the same price as a couple of lattes[/quote] My lattes cost about £1.90, or £2.00 from starbucks. The map pack costs £10 (and that's when i buy the knocked-down price tax-free 2100pt cards, buying 1300 unwanted points). That ain't 2 lattes.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] lukems First. [/quote] YOU SHUT THE -blam!- UP!

My two complaints remain unresolved. 1. Why can't I spawn a computer on Guardian? Why? I can't break CRAP with one, it has no offensive, and nigh on no defensive properties. Please? Think of the children. 2. What was wrong with down on the D-Pad to lower weapons? Srsly? Now, say I'm filming, I have to make a cut if I want someone to go from weapon up to weapon down, else I record said someone jumping up into the air.
-
Awesome!

Glad too see that the melee issue will be addressed. I am sick of shooting half a clip into and then melee-ing an unsuspecting victim only to have them turn around and smack me down with one return melee when my shields are still full. It's total BS and it happens ALL the time.
