Wait, I'm a little confused. The grid is a Sandbox exclusive?
-
With all the maps being included on Halo ODST, it is clear that this will be the definitive way to play Halo 3 multiplayer when it releases. Will Bungie be reprogramming the way levels load so that it will be appropriate to burn this onto the 360 hard drive? It seems like this would make sense. Also I was wondering if you could make maps load, after the players get the option to veto, rather than before. Seems obvious, and would save a lot of time. Lastly, could you please give everybody Recon, except for me, I want to be unique.
-
Nice update Bungie. I like the Killball effect aka if seen, run. Good update and keep them coming! btw, did you get my email I sent you?
-
How lazy has bungie gotten in the past few years. "Well there seems to be a clitch involving this but this is how you get around it. Kinda :(" Are you kidding me. This isn't acceptable bungie. You might get away with being lazy this time but if it continues were going to see nothing but blam! come out of your studio. I hope to god I'm wrong. Stop settling on anything but perfection. That is what we expect from you.
-
Great update kill balls are awesome but if there is this OLN glitch, will Bungie be trying to make a patch?
-
killballs will be so much fun in a group forge... i cant wait!
-
Interesting developments. The most diabolical uses for killballs are running through my head right now. Keep up the good work Bungie. [i]Mac cannons coming back online and charging. All stations at the ready. Firing soulution calculated and confirmed... ...Load it with Ipods and fire away.[/i]

Hey Bungie, great update. Glad to see a sweet new Forge item. I actually was talking on the forums awhile ago about how it'd be neat to have addable death barriers and that is basically it, perhaps I was to swift to judge and I may have to purchase these maps after all.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] i can has drugz READ WHAT PEOPLE WRITE The only way it makes sense is if the objects on the map are in ADDITION to the OLN, meaning that if you keep them, your limit is higher, but the only way of getting them back if you delete them lowers the OLN.[/quote] Are you talking to me again. What do you mean the only way of getting them back? If you delete the original objects on the map you wont be getting them back. Thats why they say you should stack them on the side. I just dont get why they cant make the original objects part of the OLN. Like if the OLN is 50 and there are already 30 objects on the default map why cant they just make the OLN 80. I dont know anything about programming though so I guess theres some reason they cant find a way to do this or else they would. [Edited on 02.07.2009 2:28 PM PST]

Cant wait!!!

I hope the "Requires all Content" playlists, will only include the Mythic once its released on XBL, and not when Halo Wars comes out. Well, only time will tell on how the KillBall will be used.
-
OH HELL NO.
-
Awesome update! Can't wait to find out what Fish In A Barrel involves. Will it get a dose of Double EXP?
-
Killballz :)
-
Ha, Shiska King of Jerks, Sounds like a bit like me Nice update, killballs are the new fusion coil.
-
You guys at BUNGIE are still a$$clowns for including Halo 3's maps on a separate game made by a separate studio, Halo Wars made by ENSEMBLE. I just hope you realize that. And to voice my dissatisfaction at the obvious marketing ploy and to show my resentment for a game that is NOT HALO (Halo Wars is not a First-Person Shooter), I'm not going to buy the game. Screw the "Limited Edition," it's just not going to be on my shelf. It is finally time for me to hang up my boots and my Assault Rifle and let the real Halo fade into the mundane background...
-
can't wait for Halo Wars :) but i still would of liked it to be $70 like limited editions are usually.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CenturionOmegaI 37 days!? That's almost two weeks! Assuming September didn't gain a few days after a couple centuries. Well I don't want my faith in Bungie destroyed, I'm blaming Microsoft despite the auspicious inclusion of a '7' in said number. But there is also the wtf on mythic going from 6 to 3 maps, and the OLN not being fixed, but they can't all be Microsoft, Bungie is dropping the ball, which makes me sad, because its the only gaming company I have ever loved. I will be buying Halo Wars, but $20 extra is too steep for a bunch of junk and 3 maps that will cost $10. [/quote]37 days is almost 6 weeks idiot, Mythic comes out in 2 parts of 3, Halo Wars is not junk, download the demo. The OLN is a fail, i will give you that.
-
if the OLM was such a problem, and the objects on sandbox cannot regain spots by being deleted, why not just fix it so they do??? WTF???
-
Ah, I see Urk had some help with the update from Lil' Scrappy.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] conor mc ireland [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Noob Masher No, not good update; this OLN is the worse idea I've ever heard! What was wrong with budget glitching maps? How were we hurting anyone? Do you have any idea how this is going to restrict people?! I'm making a prediction right now: Foundry and Avalanche shall remain the top forged maps, and we will NOT see any new creative gametypes in Sandbox that cannot be atcheived in the other maps. (Save for a few that utilize the killballs.) I pray someone discovers a way to glitch this new boundary because it is going to cause so many many problems..... ='([/quote]LAMO, the budget was ALREADY there you retard.[/quote] The restrictions on budgets are put in place to keep the game running at an optimum level, too many items can cause the game to crash. Do you really think a budget of $510, plus items already on the map- is restrictive? I'm making a prediction myself- within the first 24 hours of the map packs release, 1000+ customized Sandbox maps will be in existence. [Edited on 02.07.2009 1:53 AM PST]
