Frankie... Can you guys get rid of the names that pop up for enemies when they get near your reticle during game play? I hate creeping up on a base only to have someone accidently pan their view past me, not notice me creeping under the radar, and then get killed when they do a double take after a bright red name appeared on their screen to give away my position. I think this is an unnecessary feature and hinders gameplay. I have exploited this myself for no-skill killing sprees when shotty-snipes keeps popin up; ie Sit in the trees with a sniper rifle on highground and pan around until you see a name and shoot. I have got sniper sprees without ever visually seeing an enemy player this way and there is no way that this feature promotes skillful or strategic play. What do you guys think about it?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ygdetach bungie. stfu you could make all this whatupdate but cant release a patch. dont make excuse bcause other developer like blizzard release a patch when some crazy shti happen cough cough melee. cough cough you're just holding back cause you want to to relase on epic update instead releasing what you got done already.[/quote] Because they "want to to [[i]sic[/i]] relase [[i]sic[/i]] on [[i]sic[/i]] epic update"? Epic isn't the word I'd use, but you are correct that they do not want to do piecemeal patches of the game, as that would increase the chances of something going wrong--one fell swoop is the way to go.

Has ANYONE heard when/if they'll release new armor perms? Anything? Oh and also, I'd LOVE it if Bungie made spell checkers for the forums.... [Edited on 12.05.2007 7:10 PM PST]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Stormx1213 Hi,, The point im makeing is, that, for one person $10 isnt a rip off, its not alot of money at all, But in the bigger picture $10 per person when added up, is a rip off. The guy who said about the live interview, thats a really good idea... People who have questions can ask them to Bungie, I havent attacked anyone on here, I may have said somthing about Halo fan boys, but I have not attacked anyone by name,,,, so by attacking myself I think you stepped out of line, but you have said sorry so,, thats over,,, Please dont get me wrong, I love halo., and I will be there when every Halo game is out,,, I will be there playing along trying to understand why all 360 games dont seem to be as long as normal xbox games.... but when a company starts to take the pish out of the fans.. Im not going to stand around and say nothing... With out fan Bungie would still be making little games that no one knows of... Play long and hard, but be safe.[/quote] Sounds good to me...keep on keepin' on!

I agree 10 dollars isnt much for one person and we are not being forced to buy them, so they can charge pretty much what ever they believe the work is worth (ahhh the beauty of a capitolist society). Whether Microsoft is involved or not Bungie is still a for profit company and have the right to price thier merchandise as they see fit., however I do agree with our Brit friend above who thinks this is just a marketing expirement to find just how little they can give for max amount of dollars. Of course when you are spending MS points by the millions for pics and backgrounds and God knows what else most sheep are filling thier Xbox with ( how much time and effort does it take to make them and most shell out 2 -3$ apiece for that junk) companys will keep assuming we will pay as much as they want us to for any P.o.S. DLC that happens our way. I'll step off the soap box now and don the flamer retardent suit :) ------------------------------------------------------------ By the way Yes Bungie cares about its fans as most any one who has fans does, However noone goes to work for "the love of the game" any one who says they are not in it for the money is Lying.

I've been a Weekly Update reader for about three years now, and I have to say how disappointed I am with the general decline in proper grammar and usage in the writing. I know it's nit-picky, but it bugs me every week. Frankie, you are better than what's-his-face, though.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Stormx1213 RighteousTyrant, Just to make a point, I have been talking about this for some time. No where have I said that £10 is alot, the point Im trying to make is the point that Bungie could charge $1.50 and still make money on these maps... they dont have to start to rip the fans off. And no where have I attacked anyone, So you show your true self by attacking me. Every post I have made I have said pay for them or dont, that is upto you. Pay to play its called. And so many people have thanked Bungie for makeing maps... would you thank your Landlord or the companie that charge you for water or gas? It all makes me laugh.., Halo fan boys pay or not, it really is upto you, But I will bet next time bungie make new maps, the "accountants" (Yeah right) will ask for more... [/quote] Very well; I think I read your previous post wrong--sorry about the "attack". My beef is with the folks who believe that they're getting reamed because they're being forced to--wait, no they're not--because they're being given the option of paying $10 for the maps now or waiting a few months until they're free. I'm tired of the people who think that because they paid for their copy of Halo 3, that they're entitled to any additional Halo 3 related content that ever comes out of Bungie. I don't think you fall into either of those categories, so my apologies. However, now, in this post, you say that $10 (you actually said ten pounds...that's like fifteen or twenty dollars? I'm American, I'll speak in dollars) is not a lot, then you say Bungie is starting to rip the fans off. So, which is it? "Not a lot" or a "rip off"? Because I would think those two concepts are mutually exclusive. Could Bungie charge $1.50 and still profit? I'm an accounting student, but I don't have the slightest clue what kind of time and resources it takes Bungie to produce three Halo 3 maps. Nor do I have a guess as to how many Halo 3 players will purchase the new maps (remember that we can wait and they're free). Since you aren't posting in yellow text, I don't think you have much better info than I do, so your assertion that Bungie could profit from $1.50 maps is unsupported. Not necessarily wrong, just unsupported. [Edited on 12.05.2007 2:29 PM PST]

Maybe one or two classics... thats not enough for me. 80% of all Halo 2 maps are legends. to name my top 5: Turf, Sanctuary, Ivory Tower, Headlong, Burial Mounds. oh and the list is quite longer depending on playlist. Personally I love Team Swat. Whenever Bungie decides to release the Team Swat Playlist, i will be completely devoted to Team Swat. one Mention. In the beginning of Halo 2 I played alot of big team battle and big team Clan matches. The cooliest game to play was either capture the flag and assult on Headlong. a group of 8 players could really rally together and defend that building. it was a blast. is there a map on Halo 3 that can offer the same organized cooperation? I haven't played a big team game yet. mostly because none of my friends are ever playing Halo 3 and i don't go into big teams with people i don't know. i could get stuck with dimwits. If any of you guys want to send me a friend request i would like to team up and kick some ass. I just lookin for people who play Halo 3. I don't suck, obviously look at my stats. UPSTAGESQUEEKS is my gamertag.

Hey here's an idea...instead of having as many Bungie cronies as you can possibly throw in make useless comments about the maps and the creation thereof, why not have a REAL interview, answering REAL questions with REAL you know, ANSWERS. That can prevent the whole "explaining and apologizing" thing, which is the purpose that this weekly update serves. Seriously, 95% of the answers given in that interview was stupid babble anyway. Grow up and you won't have this problem in the future. Not trying to be an -blam!- about it - just trying to shed some light on the situation, if you will.

Great update. Looking forward to the new maps.... that is when my broken 360 gets repaired. I've been waiting a week for them to send me the damn shipping box!!!!!!! I can feel my Halo skills draining away.

Amen, Sp Dark Killer. I can finally stop listening to Rush Limbaugh for the latest and greatest hate mongering strategies to hurl at the Halo gods for their lack of real communication with the community. Of course, I know realize I may need to start listening to Dr. Phil so I can learn how to control my anger over trivial videojuego issues.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MobilexDinerbrox im i going to have to download the new maps twice if i want to play them on 2 acct.? cuz that would be mad -blam!-![/quote] That does bring up a good question. What about that?

I still don't see any update about being able to talk to opponents during the game.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] upstagesqueeks 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.[/quote] Issue by issue: Team Swat: I think that's the one they refer to as Team Hardcore. No old maps: They said that? I didn't see that. They didn't specifically say there would be old ones, but nor did they say there wouldn't. In fact: [quote]...but we’re not done yet. It’s safe to say that we have plenty of incredible new maps lined up and maybe one or two revisited classics.[/quote] Last Resort/High Ground: I think the idea is for the bases not to be easily defensible. Nor is it for them to be impossible to defend. Yes, there are a lot of entry points. Welcome to the game. Snowbound: baller, agree. Construct: not my favorite, but "hate" is such a strong word... Guardian: ditto.

Look foward to it. And for you kids that b*tch about the price, just get mommy to buy you the maps. For all of us working class players the cost is small for what you get.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] upstagesqueeks Hate Construct, absolutely hate it. [/quote] Agreed.
