I really, really, really want to go to PAX. I haven't made up my mind yet, but ball park it looks like it would cost me $1G just to go for the day Saturday (~$650-850 flight and hotel, ~$50-100 food, ~$20 entrance to PAX + any taxi fares). These expenditures leave me with little drinking money for college - tuition + loans suck. xD I wish Bungie would visit their fans chilling on the East Coast more often. =D [Edited on 07.25.2008 6:52 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Levitikus YES! I can continue to play with a br that has bullets that randomly return to it's clip when I'm shooting at someone. I have no idea why that's not a big enough issue to be fixed. I also love the random spread. The H2 br wasn't even that annoying. Sure it had the massive amount of auto-aim, but EVERYONE had that auto-aim. I'm not even saying that bungie should've made the br like it was in H2. It just really obviously needs to be fixed in H3. Anyone who says it doesn't is either lying or in denial. I'm not an MLG fanatic and I didn't want the br to be the almighty power weapon. I just wanted it to be consistent and less random. Why doesn't everyone want their br spread to be consistent? In H3, during a br battle, whoever gets the better spread wins. Why do most of you like luck to be the deciding factor in who wins a br battle? I will never understand it. And yes, I do play H3 still. It's just a shame that the br is never going to be fixed. That's all I'm saying. Anyway....I can't wait for Purple Reign![/quote]As for bullets returning to the clip, that's a fault with lag. Its most noticeable on weapons that fire actual projectiles (like the rocket launcher or brute shot). Perhaps you should upgrade your connection? As for the spread, I've never had a problem with it. Within a hundred yards or so, the spread isn't great enough to make bullets miss, and whoever fires first, even by one bullet faster in the 3 round burst, wins. Beyond that range, the spread starts affecting your shots a lot. As Bungie explained a few weeks ago, this is to make it so the BR user can save himself from snipers (by pinging them) but not able to kill the sniper.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DaRealHagfish502 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Trentesis12a lol i was actually thinking about re-wording my Dark Knight question. Pencil-tricktastic? [/quote]I would have hated the movie if the movie didn't include the joker..[/quote] I don't even like superhero movies, but when I first saw one of the first images of Heath Ledger as the Joker, I was hooked with the hype. Honestly, one of the greatest movies I have ever watched.

Another *poop* update.....

Great update. Can't wait to see whats happening for auto update 2.
-
Great, another empty map full of crates that people will have to spend money on and next week is when you reveal the next month of double exp right? *Crosses fingers for 16 player rumble pit and 4v4v4v4 slayer*
-
I love your picture, very artistic... ^^

Greatest update recently! Microsoft is the publisher, that place is going to be hard to riot. D: Another Foundry-like map! Epic. Word to describe the Dark Knight: [b] Even better than Joker Nurse. [/b] Replace Rocket Race with Social SWAT? Worse idea ever. Auto Update 2! What mysterious mysteries will be revealed? No way to increase the custom items limit! D: Pet winners: Asher the Banpuppy and Recon. I hope that drawing is actually a screenshot! Banadu? That is the ultimate form of destruction.

Many questions answered, thanks for this. Edit ~ Also I'm really sad that the BR wont be changed because I strongly want it changed, but I guess I have to accept it. [Edited on 07.25.2008 5:33 PM PDT]

Hmmm......I'd like to see some sort of in depth analysis of that picture. Nice update.
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] stooz3r Lets hope the map is a little better than the drawing. No offense Luke, I'm sure you worked hard on it.[/quote] Nope, it took about 40 minutes freehand and another half hour in photoshop, but that's because I didn't know what I was doing with the filters. Any future drawings will take even less time. Sorry about the questions whose answered were cut off, I called Sketch from the Golf Course to give him endings when I was informed of the whoops.
-
Nice long update this week, and it actually answers the questions, somewhat. Oh and it looks like Purple Reign might look like it is on High Charity, or it could just be a Scarab that is increased by 500%.
-
OMG my brain cannot translate anything that I am seeing in that drawing there is almost no decent perspective did you do that on purpose?! and will you guys be announcing the names of the people that won recon on that Recon roadtrip contest?
-
Lets hope the map is a little better than the drawing. No offense Luke, I'm sure you worked hard on it.
-
Pleas STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! making maps hc theres a playlist for that already.
-
Purple Reign is going to be so sweet. I thought I saw a pelican in there.
-
Why did lukems draw Midship?
-
Hey, nice drawing. And those pet names really made me lol. lol gosh...
-
surely the bungie staff get tired of having to do these updates concerning a game they've finished almost a year ago now? naaa, never mind
-
i see one, i see two o_O there is more than one one ______________________ [b]Sketch[/b] How comes you're still here ? (enjoying the B tool) but still... what gives, no picnic for the community G ?

[quote][b]X Foman123 x asks: The forums have been abuzz with requests for a new “Foundry”-style map that is larger, outdoors, and better suited for creating maps for large parties, are there any discussions about a larger, more open map for from-the-ground-up Forge creations?[/b] Last time someone asked a question about this there were entire legions of upset e-folks because we didn’t give them a straight answer. Thankfully, your question is so laser-focused on the “discussions” about a new Foundry-style map so I can give you an answer - Yes, there are discussions about Foundry-style maps. [/quote] Nice! but please do more than DISCUSS a larger Foundry style map. Actually MAKE IT! Charge $100 for it if you want. I'll stop eating for a couple of week to buy it if I have to! That would rule beyond measure!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SketchFactor [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ThePanicingPimp Everyone stay calm. This is an internet terrorist attack. Bungie, you might want to read this reply of mine because if i dont get recon armor by twelve o'clock tonight I will be forced to hack Bungie.net and ruin this site.[/quote]Sweet, and I thought I wouldn't get to ban anyone today.[/quote] - The preferred method of dealing with ITGS (internet tough-guy syndrome)
