your podcast has inspired me to try out for bungie

who ever made that video deserves to be picked up on peoples shoulders and paraded through the Bungie community

i'll let you in on a secret bungie... People will stop playing when you apply the insane BANHAMMER. Halo 3 is already starting to go down the drain. It is SOOOOO repetitive, that it is not fun anymore. Thats why bungie is restarting the rank and adding achievments. But of course it still won't be any good. Sorry bungie, good while it lasted, but your time is up.

Nice update guys. New podcast Woot!

Damn, I'm so late on this... This update is so incredibly awesome if only for the fact that the next time I go golfing, I'm bringing a bag of marshmallows.

Think it's like the first time i've posted. Not the easiest layout to try to reply. Does this mean the playlist change, more importantly Squad Battle will NOT now be released on Tuesday? As someone who doesn't get that much time on Live, saying it comes out a certain day, then taking it back and putting it anywhere between two dates 9 days apart is very amatuerish. Me and my buddies have to set aside time to play, girlfriends, wives, jobs, etc. And this new Squad Battle was what we hoped would reunite the players with the game that seems to have lost such a large fan base in under a year of it being released. If it doesn't come out on Tuesday then that's basically ballsed it up, as we're not playing that ridiculous BTB. Sad, sad days.

Thanks for updating us on your golf game. Heads up-no one cares.

so the ban system r you going to find them your self or how do u send proof to you guys that there really cheating?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ThunderBunny4 Why do you insist on sticking up for the folks at bungie. Do you understand they do not care about you, they do not care about any of their fans. They are in it for the money and that is it. That is why the quality of the games produced from bungie has gone down over time. The first gams they made, amazing, the games they made later on were pretty bad. But you will never say that because you think bungie and halo is amazing, if you would just treat them like every other company and tell them what is wrong with the game, i doubt, but maybe, they would start changing things. But understand that you are just another fanboy to them. Lukems doesn't like you, along with anyone else at bungie. I think that bungie should have kept ranked out completely, it causes too many problems. I don't get on often, i get on probably once or twice a month unless i get really bored and don;t wok a lot, and when i get on, i hardly ever post. But when there is just crap in the updates, and bad news, it kinda calls for a replay. I mean, bungie could at least relate it more to something they are doing other than the freakig update which has been pretty much what the past three updates have been about. So shut your mouth and speak some truth, Halo 3 blows, it topped sales on launch but is also one of the games that is returned the most, i know. [/quote] Man I've managed a GameStop for 5 years, and ANY game that is really popular gets brought back because there are so many copies in circulation. Right now we have just as many copies of Call of Duty 4 and Grand Theft Auto 4 brought back as Halo 3, that's what happens when a lot of people by something, there's that many more in circulation. If I don't like something, I'm sure to chime in and let people know in the hopes it would get fixed, but right now there is very little I don't like about Halo 3, and I'd be mad if they did make too many changes to the fundamentals of the game. It plays like a Halo game should. It seems to have everything they wanted to get into Halo 1 but didn't have the time or the console power, plus a lot more. The story was pretty cool, and if you look into the terminals to get the forerunner story (much the same way a lot of the story telling worked in Marathon) you get an insanely epic story of the majority of the Forerunner's conflict with the Flood. I found very little not to like there. [Edited on 09.14.2008 6:41 AM PDT]

yeah im glad that the boosters are getting the hammer cause skill points are called skill points for a reason. too bad about the update though........

Hey Luke, what's up? I'm 2 days late so no one will even read this post. Meh, may as well post it.

weekly update is a fraction of what it use to be since franky left it bores me ive givin it its fair chance but im never anticipating the friday update these days boooo

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] lukems This Weekly Update will sweep your leg. You got a problem with that? [url=/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=15475] click for full story [/url][/quote] Uh-Huh. More "Banhammer" chest beating. Great PR you got going there but EVERYONE knows it won't last long even if it does work. You guys basically abandoned Halo 2 after the 1st update and it's the same broken game it's been since. Halo 3 is going to be no different unless you dump the host system. Enough with the patronizing already

btw luke... when am i getting my steak dinners?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] XxYouxLostxX im still amazed that people care... the auto update is nothing it adds a silly picture next to your gamertag.... it changes the game in no way whatsoever.... i wouldnt even call it an update... id call it bungie satisfying all the crybabys who cant get there 50... ooo im gunna quit halo i won 10 games in a row and am still a 47 boo hoo... try not loosing 700 games before you win 10 in a row... im amazed that bungie would even do this... if they wanted a cod ranking system it should have been implemented day one... not whenever they please... and about the bans... who cares? really who cares? those of you that are waiting for your ban... thats about it.... and really i could care less if my account gets banned from halo... the game is slowly loosing what originally kept me playing... FUN... now we need to add a bunch of uneeded bull-blam!- to make all the 8 year olds that shouldnt even be playing the game happy? im so tired of seeing people with 50's that are terrible...but i could care less if you ban them... who cares if they cheated for there 50? just shows how much they really have going for them.. absolutely nothing... the only people i even care to see banned is all the host booters and standbyers... that actually matters the game.. not some -blam!- with his language set on god knows what.. ive been wanting and waiting to start a new account just to play mlg on and get a 50 in mlg on but i refuse to spend the money when i hit 45 and people get host booted everygame... gets kinda rediculous.. sometimes its your team getting screwed sometimes its your team doing the screwing either way im tired of it.... the problems been around since halo2 and made alot of really good players quit playing... and why not just take away the cheaters 50? freeze there rank at 1... let them play matchmaking... who cares about cheating if your rank is perpetually frozen at 1... noone.... hell why not just pull the ranking system all together? or atleast make it not visible to the player... theres alot of things you could do besides give 500,000 people who in no way deserve a general a general...thats what pisses me off the most... i worked hard for my first 50... really -blam!- hard... i already see enough 50s that just payed someone to get it for them... that decreases the value of my 50 enough now you gotta kick me in the balls while im down and not even let me see my general emblem that i put alot of curse filled hours into earning... rediculous... ill stick around after the update but who knows for how long... maybe long enough to work on a 50 in mlg maybe ill like the update... but as far as i can see... it does nothing positive... oh yeah and do me a favor please? let me know when your done worrying about something that doesnt even alter the game and start trying to fix the mistakes in halo 3... i dont think i need to list them i think weve all shot some one in the face with a sniper 17 times in a row just to watch blood fly out while he runs rampid and unharmed... fix things that matter... make the game better... i could care less about the ranking -blam!- im a 5 star... id gladly give it away just to see the actuall game fixed not some stupid ranking system...id like to go back to applying myself to halo and wanting to be a better player... as for now looks like im still going to have play and not try... i verry rarely even try anymore just play for something to do... id like to remember what it felt like to try.... to have a reason to try..[/quote] dude i agree lol even though im a 30 and have been stuck there since like march lmfao i stopped trying i lost interest.. they should make the updates about stuff that people actually want.. like that headshot glitch or the infamous sticky bouncing off armor glitch >_< i hate that one... they should focus on fixing that instead.. and maybe adding some new elite armor and some leg armor would be nice too hahaha just to make it a little more fun... also BRING BLACK ARMOR BACK!!!! i miss it ='[ i am glad in a way that the highest skill thing is not needed for general but then again i am a noob and as a noob i do think they made it too easy hahaha but w/e not my choice. also does anyone know wut the next halo series game is gonna be called? or was the clip after the end of the credits just put there to screw with people?

Why do you guys get so excited about banning? How many methods do you need?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ThunderBunny4 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Fearing Why are you asking Luke what's wrong? He seems to be fine, it was the other guy who seemed upset, and you as well. Was your whole weeks happiness riding on what was going to be in the weekly update? The "useless crap" in the update was no more useless than anything he could have written about any video game. Honestly, no less useless, than giving us info about something that isn't out that we can do nothing about. As for "big brother" telling him what he can and can't say, it's called having a job and responsibilities. Wow, just wow. I think this is why I go so long between visiting internet message boards.

I'm pretty sure I didn't log on to espn.com, but I'm not entirely sure. Can I write an update about something to do with halo next time?

You're so insightful.

Awesome update. You guys are on a roll with these wicked updates. I'm gonna hold you to that Banhammer business. So let's get to it!
