Thanks for keeping us updated about the future of Halo 3. The new patch and maps are excellent news, glad to know Bungie is still working 110% on keeping Halo 3 awesome. Great job Bungie =)
-
FINALLY discussion of a patch! Progress!!!! Just when I bought Call of Duty 4 too....oh well, something to hold me over until the patch!
-
that id be cool but the maps will be awsome any way
-
MAPS: I agree, completely and utterly agree with every single thing you siad (both of u). And honestly the fact is bungie pig headed about making new maps, all human forerunner technology this, human technology that! Why not scenery this and exploration that, how about something like a maze a tunnel, something that will inspire us, make us extend our abilites. Why not create a new cannon that can be fired at a wall so the wall collapses creating a new route around the edge of the map in a tunnel that has floodlike quality's, maybe even put flood in there so we have to eliminate them, distracting us from destroying each other and make it feel more like an adventure, rather than a competition, make it fun for us bungie!!! cut the crap about new this new that!! it pure -blam!- bungie, pure -blam!-!!! make it funner make it extreme, make it scenic, something to be REMEMBERED!! not played but remembered!!! Terrain: How about more ledges, more vehicles, like O.K. Coral or whatever, it'd be good if there was like a highway you can go on, tracks to take you to all new places! Instead of thinking about the bases and what's in between think about what's out of the way, somewhere else, make three bases, make mountains to climb up, map mazes to go thru, make floating bridges that can collapse, make things that are individual for one purpose that is entirely for fun in a strategic kind of way!!! make things that'll explode, make us think, create, imagine it in a whole other purpose, something that can and will be changed in forge!!! Forge: I think there should be powerfull mancannons that can be placed on the map in forge, that would be interesting! How about you let us put things that attach to wall, like spore eggs or whatever, let us put things on all kinds of shapes, on all kinds of sizes and at all kinds of angles, let it stay there so we can TRULY change the gampelay, style and overall look of the map!!! Add something like pipes or walls that can't be destroyed, we need impenetrable things bunige!!!! IMPENETRABLE!!!!! Players: I have a great idea, make new spartan armor, make new feet, new backs, let us customise every single thing on our spartan!!! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! So think bungie, you add those in hell you're sure to get many more peoples interest!!!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] OksanaBayul You have a map with a window that people on one side can see through, and the other side cant??? Uh, ya think this might promote some camping for the team on the side that can see through it? WOW. I hope this window isn't anywhere near anything.[/quote] that would be hilarous.... a random one wall in the middle of nowhere....

Frankie quote [quote] “But I can also guarantee that my all-time favorite ever Halo map will be included too, if yesterday’s playtest was anything to go by. A large map with some vaguely familiar features just rocked my world. It was AMAZING fun. Any time I am in an hour long standoff against an equally matched team and it never becomes frustrating, is evidence enough for me that we are onto something special.” [/quote] [url=http://www.bungie.net/Inside/MeetTheTeam.aspx?person=oconnor]Frankie's biography[/url] [quote] Ultimate Halo Match: Blood Gulch, CTF, all weapons, all vehicles [/quote][/quote][/quote] That doesn't mean it's his favorite map...[/quote] how can u say it doesnt mean anything? why would he put blood gulch if it wasnt his favorite map? he even hinted it talking about a 1 hour match on stand off, which resembles blood gulch
-
Got my fingers crossed on AU1 fixing the melee system.
-
wat would REALLY be good;(BUNGIE IF YOU ARE READING THIS IM NOT ASKING FOR IT!!!) is Bungie giving us recon armor in the market place for 200 MS points!
-
i wish blood gulch could be on there... that was an awesome map to play on for hours and hours and it never got boring... does anyone else feel the same way... another thing i wish bungie could do in the future, remake halo: c.e. with better graphics, weapons, and vehicles... you know?

Midship ftw!!! Any word on when the new maps are coming out?
-
I just have one thing to say, ok maybe a few things to say. First off i am really looking forward to the next map packs because the heroic ones were really good (even though i still think that there should be a sniper on standoff) and i had lots of fun playing on them(especially foundry on the forge). Second, i would like to know when ya'll are gonna give us a look on some pictures of these new maps because from your description makes them sound quite fun and interesting to play on. Third, what exactly is wrong with the sniper rifle ive heard alot of things about it being broken but i hadnt had that problem till these last few days ive shot ppl in the head multiple times and id see blood and everything but no death till i go up to them and kill them.

halo 3 is an awesome game hands down..COD4 yes good game as well buh its no halo COD4 will die out just like the rest of its series nd COD5 will come out...ANY WAYS this update seemed 2 me they were just hyping up another map pack that will not really lets say...deliver...sure standoff was an okay map...rats nest...ah it was alright lets say..nd foundry yes it was great....but wat abt the actual tense cometitive style maps...hopefully bungies new maps will be more competitve nd wow-ing like halo 2's maps...turf, midship, sanctuary, lockout sick maps...lockout i doubt will be remade because of guardian having such close features it wud be quite pointless...im hoping midship or atleast sanctuaryremakes like reallly those were one of the best maps in halo 2 for competitive maps.. Epitaph - Crapp Construct - Good/Okay Foundry - Good/Okay Guardian - Good Highground - Okay Isolation - Crap Last Resort - Okay (Zanzibar Remake didnt deserve to be remade) Narrows- Good/Okay Rat's Nest - Okay Sandtrap - Okay BTB not my style Snowbound - Crap Standoff - Okay The Pit - Good Valhalla - Good/Okay but its not a blood gulch/coagulation Bungie does too much to serve the casual gaming community...halo 2 was only so competitive becuz of MLG and all the publicity it had gotten...halo 2 was awesome becuz of the maps...the new map packs better be goood

or just take it off your head.. that was the dumbest thing i heard yet , besides the lockout looking like guardian [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Dboy360 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] PyroDaMatchless My request for the auto update: does anyone realize that the settings for sound/communications don't work quite right? When I have everything set to "headset only", and I unplug my headset then the sounds come out my surround sound speakers. I DON'T want it to do this! Why? Because I have young(er) kids running around the house. Sometimes I unplug my headset to talk with others (no mute button). Occasionnaly headsets break and must be replaced. If I cannot use my headset for some reason then I don't want every player's expletives bursting forth from my speakers. It should just be mute. "Headset Only" should *mean* HEADSET ONLY! And, this is the way Halo 2 worked. Why change it? Thanks for listening! [/quote] why dont you just flip the switch on your headset to the littel veto symbol?[/quote]

your a moron guardian is nothing like lockout ..you stupid or what.

Cool to hear about new stuff, but Im begging you guys, please bring back the Halo 2 sniper rifle, for the love of everything please bring it back.

[quote] THE NEW YEAR SHOULD BRING A FUNFILLED REVISED LOCKOUT........seriously though i think it should happen just like zani its a good map but all in all make lock out it would be a nice present for all of us HALO 2 FANS...... [/quote] yeah ever heard of guardian
-
I hope it is gonna be Coagulation AKA blood gulch? what would be the new name?
-
yeah tell me about .. i think we had enough of blood gultch/coagulation /valhalla. thats why they where taken out of ranked matched making and tosed into the "no one playes this matching making other then noobs our people who dont want their friends to ruin their ranks so they play training and or social." i dont mean to bash you guys cause i like what you do but the blood gultch map type is really annyoing . but any ways are you guys going to be doing a remake on old maps and putting them out in a bundle maby a litle lockout or ivory tower??TURF

Fantastic reference to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs my friend!
