  • I skipped about 11 pages of all the thread replies, but the one playlist of Halo 2 that i absolutely loved, : Team Swat. Any chance of seeing Team Swat anytime soon? Also, why is it that Bungie takes the stance of no old maps in Halo 3? in my opinion, Halo 2 had some of the greatest maps ever created. Cmparing Zansabar to Last Resort: for all Last Resorts detail it still demolished the base. What was so great about Zansabar was that you could easily defend it. with Last Resort there are so many ways to get into the Base that if gets unbelievably frustrating trying to defend. HIgh Ground: I love the idea of High ground. a base with bunkers and a big 50 Cal. at the top. but you have this great base and bungie tore it apart. on the defensive side, there is no reason to even use the front bunker. your vision is limited through the small windows, and the huge opening through the side makes it nothing but a free invitation to the base. The bunker should have been on the other side of the base overlooking the road to the main gate. thats the most frustrating thing about high ground. A base that is unprotectable. it would have been sweet to have the bunker in a wide view postion with either 1 or 2 50 Cal. mounted machine guns guarding the entrance. almost similar to, dare i reference another videogame, Return to Castle Wolfenstein The Beach. Like SnowBound, that is truelly its own brandnew map. Pretty much undeniable. Hate Construct, absolutely hate it. Guardian, very similar to Lockout, i like lockout better though. I think Guardian is scaled smaller than Lockout. Plus there isn't really any good high ground sniping postions.

  • I have never heard of the Easter egg? What is that referring to? I enjoyed the update. But have to be honest, got lost when it came to that portion of it. I apologize for my ignorance. If you had a chance to inform me that would be much appreciated. Thanks for all of your great work, entertaining the masses and all.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Stormx1213 Hi, Yeah I read that, but he didnt say on what company? Bungies accountants or MS? And Hes trying to tell us that accountants are telling the boss or who ever what price they should be selling at.. I keep saying this, $10 isnt much,,, eveyone can see that, but add it all up.. Look at how many people are online right now, and add it all up.... They can still make money on these maps, even if they charged $5 or even $1.50[/quote] Yes they can make money on the maps, and where is the inherent problem in that? Profit, in and of itself, is not evil. Bungie works hard on their games, and on their maps--which are, by the way, separate products--and deserve to be paid for both. And if you don't want to pay for the maps, you know they'll be free in the spring (if you read, that is)--so the only thing you actually pay for is your own impatience. Stop your fantasizing about Bungie being some evil monster for you the knight-in-shining-armor to rally against. There are no monsters here, only hollow windmills for self-righteous Don Quixotes like yourself to slay with much sound and fury, signifying nothing.

  • That was the best update I could hope to read. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Frankie 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. When we see issues, whether it be something as simple as a matchmaking inconsistency, or something as serious as a control problem, we’ll consider the pros and cons of fixing those issues and where possible and prudent, we’ll fix them. [/quote] Thankyou bungie. I mean it sincerely. I believe Halo 3's potential to be near-infinite, so the ongoing attention to the game is a worthwhile investment. There are a few things here and there that could use looking into, and your commitment to do this makes me proud to be a fan of halo and am very glad that I bought, play, and will continue to play this game for the forseeable future.

  • Hi all.. Do you know what, pay the amount Bungie want, take every word Bungie says as true. Do you honestly believe that accountants have told a company what they should be selling at? I run 1 company about to be 2, and my accountants do what I say they should, they dont tell me what to sell at.. So again bungie side step an issue, Pay to play.... Have fun guys and girls.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Chees3mz The gun-lowering animation is worth the testing. or you could just make a machinima mode only. just get it in the game...you allow it in system link...things in the game are abused everywhere. I have never heard of the gun lowering button being abused. you just sound like you don't care at all or want to put the effort into something that IS very important to a BIG part of the community that has made Halo what it is.[/quote] I don't agree. As far as actual Machinima goes, the player should have to provide the tools required to record and make the actual film. If people like Rooster Teeth have to use there own equipment to make their movies, others should have to as well. Why, you ask? Let's say if Bungie does make a fully loaded Machinima mode? Do you know how many people would abuse that? For one, all of those people who make the Machinima equipment would lose their jobs. Second, most of you forget that Halo 3 is a FPS(First Person Shooter), not a game for Machinima. Really, that's what Film mode is for, though some of you have forgotten this. This is one of the reasons Bungie made this mode, for Machinima. As far as the lower the gun "easter egg" goes, I agree with the players of Halo 3 that this doesn't really affect the overall gameplay, but I also agree with Bungie that this small problem is not a big deal/issue and doesn't really deserve the attention it's getting. As some people said during the "Map Announcement Forum", actions speak more than words, though I don't know what actions could be taken to get Bungie's attention on this. Plus, trying to fix this problem could cause more problems. Let's not forget the GoW patches... *shudders with cold chill*. Really, you can still move up and down to make it look like your character is talking on Live, but I do agree the effect is not the same without the gun lower. Though some weapons offer a small lowering rate, such as the rip-off turrets. This is only a suggestion, not an answer. I also saw someone suggest this: "If you don't like Halo 3, play Halo 2". I agree with this person. If you want to do Machinima with the gun lower, then go back to Halo 2. I agree with those who want to do Machinima on Halo 3 due to the better graphics and armor, but you're going to have to make sacrifices if you want the gun lower Easter Egg. Really, it's either: A. Try different weapons in Halo 3 to see what gives the best gun lower rate, or... B. Go into Halo 2 and deal with only one set of armor for both races and limited colors. Or you can try to Mod, but now you can go to jail for that sort of thing, plus I'm pretty sure Bungie would get a bit mad for someone tampering with their pride and joy, so I don't advise this, unless you're willing to go to jail to make a movie.

  • all's good except i have one single question regarding the DLC maps. if i recall correctly, with other 360 games i.e. gears of war, the DLC maps could be downloaded for each individual gamertag. example: i downloaded maps onto my gamertag profile (LORICH7) and my brother's gamertag was not allowed to play on them because his gamertag had not downloaded them yet. so basically im asking if in mine and my bro's case, would we have to pay 2x for us both to have the same package of DLC maps on the same 360? im sure this isnt something you can control, as the fact remains that the ability and characteristics of DLC were all assigned by microsoft; not bungie. anyways, thats about it. btw Standoff looks amazing and im really lookin forward to the release of the maps. keep up the good work, bungie. aaaauuuooooo *300 style*

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] sigmapi103 Yes, I have been to supermakets. They list the "unit price" then they list their price. That doesn;t happen here. In fact they don't even state whom sets the original price in the first place. Again, I REPEAT, Xbox Live TOS does NOT state they price the DLC. So, in essence, we are being lied to. Bungie in fact does set the price. [/quote] Bungie never said that MS set the price, they only said that accountants set it. If you think that the people at Bungie will spend 12+ hours a day developing a game and then, rather than going to sleep, spend another 5 hours balancing their books you are freaking crazy. Bungie pays other people to handle the money for them so they don't have to worry about it and those are the people that set the price. P.S. [quote]don't even state whom sets the original price[/quote] The proper word is "who" not "whom." [url]http://edisk.fandm.edu/wri/whowhom.pdf[/url] [Edited on 12.02.2007 10:22 PM PST]

  • I, like a lot of others here, are kinda disappointed there's no word about the podcast featuring Marty...you mentioned in a previous update that you were recording with him, but nothing has come of that. Perhaps some official word on whether or not that's happening soon?

  • Thank you, Frankie, for quite possibly the most informative and helpful weekly update that I've ever read. It addressed almost every major forums issue, and, although the answers might not please everyone (something that's impossible to do anyway), the mere acknowledgement that Bungie does, in fact, contemplate the issues should hopefully placate the masses...for the time being. :P hehe. Anyways, thank you again. [Edited on 12.02.2007 6:51 PM PST]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MasterChiefMV Well, nice going! I`m just a little bit concerned about skill levels. For example: a friend of mine and myself were involved in a 3 on 2 matchup last night, [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=170146764&player=MasterChiefMV]click here for the stats of that game[/url]. We led almost through the whole match, but ended up losing 50-46 against a greater force in numbers. Now after the match I went down a rank (I even scored better than the best man form the oppsoing team!), as a reward for performing so well against greater odds. Things like this happen a lot, which is the only real complaint I have about online Halo 3. Keep up the good work! [/quote] Your the one that lost the game, [b]technically[/b]. -4 Leader on your team had 0 K/D spread. Am I right? Oh yeah, 5 maps for $10 dollars. [Edited on 12.02.2007 5:52 PM PST]
