It's awesome that you guys work with Make a Wish. Great news to end with! 117 million? Jeez, at least make it challenging next time... :D Campaign matchmaking is sweet! I've been playing it since I got home early from work. Kudos.
-
Good to hear the level cap will be increased soon! And I'm really looking forward to the sniper playlist!

Epic update, love the new maps, can't wait to play them, when is everything going into effect? The 19th? I didn't read the whole thing, kinda skimmed it but I'm kind of assuming because that's when snipers is coming in according to the playlists. Also, really like the community idea for the rank cap lift, it should get people to stop complaining and start doing their challenges. Just wish it was a large number in kills because I can work on that all day but I can only do 5 challenges in a day. Great update Bungie, keep up the good work.

Nice update Lots of info to digest, not too happy about still having to wait another month for the cap to be lifted. Please stop listening to all of the whiney babies that complain about every aspect of this game. Some things do need fixed but some of the changes you made will only please the biggest of babies that complain on the forums. You have to have a balance between what Halo is and what SOME of the community wants. Big mistake turning off friendly fire in firefight, being able to boot unsporting jerks out of the game is a necessity due to how much doushbaggery there is in your online community. If you are going to do everything the little crybabies want then you moght as well put the br back in, take away arena, and bring back the 1-50 ranks. Understand that I don't want you to do this, but a lot of people posting on the forums do. More people post about those things than anything else, and I am honestly surprised that you pander to such a small section of complainers because what you have done isn't what the majority wants. Please stop changing things. This is Halo: Reach, not Halo 3. If you are really on the banhammer warpath, do something about the footpeddlers; you know what I mean. Now I know I rag on you guys pretty bad at times, but you know I love you guys at Bungie. I just want to say God bless you for your work with the make a wish foundation. I repsect those who help those less fortunate and I hope you will encourage your fans and community to do so as well. Thanks for your involvement. Well enough for now, take care and have fun. The Don

Cliffhanger looks like someone had assembled it in one hour ;/ And Atom only looks okay mhhh...

I'm so excited about the playlist updates, it's like Bungie has my xbl microphone wire tapped. I love it. And the new re: charity was uplifting, - congrats, guys!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Methew [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SquirrellyOtter I beasted Sniper primary, Nerfle secondary. I am going to miss my three-shot supercombine on Brutes.[/quote] NR makes it too easy too. Everything but Elites and Hunters is a three shot kill to the NR. Jackals do you a favor by dive rolling to avoid getting shot by it since they drop their shields.[/quote] Skirmishers were good enemies too, being so agile, it was hard to bring a precision weapon to bear. While I agree that using the FRG broke Sniperfight, I enjoyed being able to take out Brutes (being my least favorite species of the Covenant since Halo 2) so easily, and using the noob-combo against the Elite Generals (being as they were so damn difficult). But I trust Bungie.

Again, I'm looking forward to the new maps! Now for the updates. I'm happy to see that we are having some new playlists like Team Snipers. I don't understand why people don't like the classic game types...oh well. I'm pleased to see that you all will add soft kill bounds on top of the sniper bases in Asylum. Thanks guys! The Firefight updates are nice...except that you all are taking out Crashsite. I guess I'll wait and see if it'll come back in due time, but I liked playing it. But I'm glad you all are adding the "Glacier" map to the playlist! I'm also glad friendly fire is being removed. You don't know how many times I killed a team mate on accident...XD I'm still waiting on Firefight Versus... Nice update overall! [Edited on 10.15.2010 6:27 PM PDT]

Time to BUST the rank cap!
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] QKT100 This is still just a load of bull. £100 on the cap being raised after the map pack, because there's too much fail in reach to keep people hooked. There's no good reason not to lift the cap. It's like disallowing a class of students from getting A grades. What's the difference if only 1% of the people get to a high rank? And still no damn race playlist. And cliffhanger sucks, So does atom. Looks like your new partnership has already changed you. I'm off to play RDR[/quote] Someone needs to calm down instead of crying, great update. Atom looks like it will be a great map. Haven't played on cliffhanger so I can't judge.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] QKT100 And cliffhanger sucks, So does atom.[/quote] I like how you know what you're talking about because you've played on them.

Thank you! If I play Spire one more time I'll exploded all over my 360.

I haven't gotten this excited about words since the last Harry Potter! (jk insecure ones looking to make fun of someone for something.) But really, great update.

Any word on adding more armor in the future?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Kirbysama But they said they were resetting the leaderboards because of it. Last time I checked, I get more cR for headshots and easier to hit/kill/chain multikills with the sniper rifle, which is in turn more cR. Theres even a sniper spree for more kill spree bonus cR. If the Fuel Rod doesnt add an absurd amount of points to your totals, then whats the point of resetting/removing it? Most Ive gotten is like 30k and that was from sniping. Fuel rod spam and other stuff was mostly around 21-24k range and that was probably more to do with the occasional sniping. And theres no rocket attack in Score Attack mode, which is where this is dealing with, so no point in bringing up that theres rocket attack as an alternative.[/quote] Not just because of the change to Sniperfight. But the change removal of Crashsite, addition of Mythic Score Attack and the increase of FF to a full set.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Methew [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] yeskezspanem [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Methew [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Kirbysama What exactly was the problem with Sniper Attack's ability to change weapons? I liked being able to grab a needler or fuel rod or random gun to just go nuts with for some commendation grinding other than precision weapons for a change. Am I missing some exploit people were doing that made them get a billion points on the leaderboards that warrants the random change they are implementing?[/quote] That's exactly the reason why it was removed. People were picking up FRGs and treating it like Rocketfight. I'm just sad that I can't pick up and use Focus Rifles anymore.[/quote] Point is that its called Sniper Fight. Not Firefight with unlimited ammo. Though its nice that they did this in score attack, why does not bungie do the same for Firefight?[/quote] I'm running under the assumption they are and Urk just worded it poorly. Again Bungie: I am truly saddend by the inability to pick up and use Focus Rifles. They are snipery. Let us use them as secondaries? Question about the Team Snipers playlist: Jeremiah talked about Elite Snipers yet it was just Elites with Sniper Rifles. Why even bother making us Elites without Covenant Weapons?[/quote] I beasted Sniper primary, Nerfle secondary. I am going to miss my three-shot supercombine on Brutes.
