  • [quote]The existing maps will retain their existing lists of Forge stuff – because that’s the way they’re built – with a specific performance budget that’s already carefully balanced.[/quote] I can kind of understand why specific scenery is limited to specific maps, but why the freak can't we use all weapons and vehicles? I can put 4 Banshees and 4 Hornets on Construct but I can't put a Prowler on Last Resort. WTF is that? And why can I place almost every weapon on High Ground but I can't put a Carbine on Valhalla? It makes no sense! [Edited on 11.30.2007 11:10 PM PST]

  • You just have to love the Mister Chief (particularly the description at the bottom). And Bungie, for continually updating the Halo games and for providing a Weekly Update every Friday.

  • [QUOTE][b]We have a team of engineers, testers and of course, designers, looking at all of this stuff as well as working on the downloadable map packs. [/b][/QUOTE]I hope this means there are going to be more than just 3 maps for download. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [QUOTE][b]Price for example, was a common complaint. That’s not something we decide unfortunately[/b][/QUOTE]True, a lot of us here that have been listening for awhile know that. Bungie team just isn't putting out the manpower (womenpower) that they have in the past. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [QUOTE][b]So if you’re patient, you can wait it out.[/b][/QUOTE]Wait it out like: Find an entire party , If Majority(People)=NewMaps Then , Boot the conservatives (no map ppl) , Start searching again... (actually something a little less annoying like the Chinese Water Torture. EVIDENCE:[Quote][b]If you don’t have the maps, you simply won’t match with games that do use them[/b] (your game will connect you to existing maps and you won’t see any issue)[/Quote] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [QUOTE][b]The other revelation that received some ire was Barry’s contention that Standoff was planned for Halo 3. As we’ve clarified before, “planned” doesn’t mean built. [/b][/QUOTE]No, what people are saying is: [b][i]"... ... ... .and a level that planned to come out with Halo 3!"[/i][/b] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [QUOTE]David Candland already made a pretty convincing “Mario Kart” level, where you race around a proper circuit, complete with checkpoints and of course, the [b]ability to drop pow[/b][/QUOTE]I HOPE your about to say powerups.... Fine. But I like the "Mario Kart" level idea much more. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [QUOTE]All of the new downloadable maps will benefit from some new Forge objects being loaded into their Forge palettes[/QUOTE]People like floating maps. [b]Make enough(alot) cheap, little FAKE receiver node-esque type things.[/b] Things that will hold an object and never run out. The Golden Egg - Yes or No? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [QUOTE][b]All three[/b] of the new maps in the first pack are brand new to the Halo universe. They’re already office favorites and the press we’ve exposed to them thus far[/QUOTE][QUOTE]I hope this means there are going to be more than just 3 maps for download.[/QUOTE] Crap.

  • ...Now that I think about it, no weapon lowering on XBL can make it so 10 year olds stop trying to make machinima like us! WOW, BUNGIE, YOU ARE SECRETLY GENIUSES!

  • That's a great update! Tons of pressing issues were addressed. One part especially caught my eye, though: [quote]But DLC isn't all we're looking to update in the future. Right now a significant amount of work, time and research is going into things to make the game play and perform better than it already does. We don't consider Halo 3 to be "perfect" and we will continually investigate ways to improve the gameplay and performance.[/quote] Could I dare to hope that a framerate increase (even a small one) could be included as a performance improvement? That would be incredible. [Edited on 11.30.2007 8:27 PM PST]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] lukems First. [/quote] Lol lukems [aka TJ Scoot].. Everyone always rushes for first post and you beat them all to it. OWN3D! No but seriously, I have to take the time and appologize to Bungie right now, right here. Ive been dishing out alot of cruelity to them about the flaws of matchmaking, and the maps, and how COD4 is better. They are both completely different games, and they are both 9/10 if not then 10/10 material. I think they are both actually a perfect game. But I have to say honestly, I will stop playing COD4 on December 10th to get ready for the new maps. [Yes I will be buying them cause Im not too cheap to spare 10 bucks [14 bucks in Canada and UK I think]] But I am really looking foward to this update on the 18th, which really wasnt explained but am looking foward to reading about it on the 7th. Long Live Bungie! Long Live Halo!

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] psyco777 In response to not making us able to put our gun down. [quote]I have the sudden urge to kick over my Xbox 360 now. Somehow, I don't see it helping me to run into a firefight in Team Slayer, then smash down RB, LB, Left Analog, D-Pad, A. No idea why that wouldn't be helpful- maybe if I'm able to lower my gun, the enemy will be less prone to laser me?[/quote][/quote]..........................THAT'S BLAMMing Funny Blam lololol

  • Never really liked Relic or Ascension much (great maps I just sucked on them) Greaves would be cool , Gauntlets to but does your cheif really need the most stylish footwear :) no offense Idjust rather part of my 10$ didnt go to imaginary foot wear. cant remember the name but it was a symetrical outdoor map with sword in a circular room in the middle that was a GRRRRReat map loved it owned it. Hate the sword and the plasma pistol on it though [Edited on 11.30.2007 7:38 PM PST]

  • It's good to hear that an update is coming out. I'm just hoping it comes out soon. I know you guys(Bungie) say it takes awhile due to testing, but I hope it doesn't take forever. Can't wait to Forge on Foundry and Rat's Nest! I also agree on the Machinima Easter Egg. Though it somewhat hinders movie making, it's not like this is the most important issue of Halo 3. Plus, it's only locked on XBOX Live, so Home Movies can still be made, or at least from my understanding, you can.
