Anyone from here want to play MLG customs in the future? I have 3 or 4 people who I play with who like MLG game types but I don't have enough for 4v4.

If you're familiar with the MLG maps and gametypes and decent at the game let me know. We'll be around tomorrow afternoon probably.
 
I had to go to work right after I made this post but...Luke if you read this and could comment on it, that'd be great. Didn't get to submit it on Bungie.net because like I said I was at work all day.

According to an internet report, Bungie made last minute changes to Halo 3 which required Halo: Uprising's storyline to be reworked. Did Bungie make "last minute changes" to the plot of Halo 3, and if so, what kind of changes?

Nah, haven't had the chance to yet. I'm going to tomorrow and will try to bitch and moan until I get another sent my way.

Yeah, never really had a chance too. Oh well, the only game I've really been playing lately has been Halo so no big deal.
 
You fools, Urk didn't get hired by Bungie, is evil twin brother who has the same name did, man you people know nothing.

Congrats, now where's my Halo 4: Super Baby Halo Adventures

Truth #1: Urk told me nothing.

Truth #2: I guessed everything.

Truth #3: I could accurately guess everything about Halo 3: Recon, the fourth installment in Bungie's epic trilogy (literally), but I won't because it would ruin the whole thing for you.

Truth #4: Two of the above are actual truths. The other one is a fatso lie.

Very interested.
 
I'm going to college right now for video game design, I want to get into the model making spec of things, so if it works out, who knows, maybe I could be working for a nice company like Bungie or something. But once again, congrats Urk.

Why yes, yes there are. Shishka is going to make it rain Double EXP playlists next month. The order is yet to be defined, but here’s a peek at the November lineup.
Double EXP (in no particular order) - Grifball, Team Flag (with some gametypes from Fourth of July), Legendary Brawl and a Thanksgiving Day Weekend of experimental gametypes.

EazyB confirmed to be at Bungie
 
I played Girfball for the first time. Pretty fun. But sometimes, I feel like when I have the ball, the other team can still run faster than me. :(
 
urk got a job at bungie? cool, congrats dude. you always had a great sense of humor so I always liked your posts. I remember me and you went back and forth joking around in one thread, shit was hilarious, but cant remember what it was about.

but yea man, just make sure u keep posting with your same sense of humor.

Yeah, like I'm playing with the ruck ever again. Please. Ask him if he remembers the Beta. That was just a taste of the snubbing I've got cooking for his hillbilly ass.

I had pizza for dinner last night. And again for lunch this afternoon. And yet again for dinner not more than two hours ago. This training regimen is going to be the death of me.

Thanks for the kinds words, d00ds. Chinner, you're on the list.

Wow, I don't post in here for a day and suddenly everything changes.

Shake gets his Brigadier, Urk works for Bungie...
It's like up is down and down is up all of a sudden.
 
Congratulations Urk!


For whoever: can I beat a dead horse and just clarify something in my mind regarding Recon? Which of the following is the most accurate:

You know, I'm a fan of diagrams, but I have only a faint idea what you're trying to ask here. Maybe phrase your question a bit more accurately along with your diagrams?

My answer to what I assume is your question: as far as I understand, we don't really have the definite answer to that at the moment. Mythic Map Pack is meant to come out "early Winter 2009", so it's pretty certain to say it's not only coming out with Recon. Also from interviews it sounds like there may be maps exclusive to Recon or something, but I'm unsure how they would pull that off.

It's hard to read? We use that kind of graphical representation all the time where I work.

My understanding is that 'Halo 3' as we know it features campaign and multiplayer, with three additional map packs (Heroic, Legendary, and the as-of-yet unreleased Mythic). When 'Halo 3: Recon' arrives it will be an entirely distinct and new title (it will appear as a separate game in the achievements list etc.) which features a new campaign, which doesn't include the old campaign, but which also retains the familiar Halo 3 multiplayer (patched/title-updated to the latest iteration, with all the additional map packs on the disc, and some new content -- maps, armour permutations, you name it? -- to boot).

Edit: so I guess diagram 4?
 
Just dropping by to say CONGRATS URK!!!

I now expect Bungie's Top Stories and the Bungie Favorites page to be updated every time you're sitting on the pooper! So minimum of 2 updates per day except for Taco/Burrito days in which case I expect at least 5 updates!!! :lol

I would go with Shake Appeal's statement, but there is one thing I do not agree on. We know that Halo 3: Recon is disc-based and primary focuses on the campaign aspect.

http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=15806 said:
Halo 3: Recon is a standalone, disc-based campaign expansion to Halo 3. It will be available at fine retailers around the globe in Fall of 2009.
Click to expand...

We know for a fact that the Mythic map pack will be available on the disc when in releases in Fall of 2009. We know that for those who have Xbox Live will be able to purchase the Mythic map pack at an earlier date.

Now several people have thought that Diagram 4 was the best representation, except for one small fact which is totally based on assumption and could easily be wrong.

H3RScen4.png


Now for the purpose of this post. I am unsure if there will be actually "new" maps aside from the Mythic maps and the ones already released.

http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=15806 said:
There are multiplayer maps that will appear as a part of the Halo 3: Recon package. This includes the aforementioned Mythic Map Pack in addition to a few others. You can also experience the entire Recon campaign cooperatively with up to 4 players.
Click to expand...

This quote is where people thought there might have been actual new maps besides the Mythic map pack to solidify the Halo 3 experience. I personally think that people are too quick to make that assumption. I think Halo 3: Recon is more closely related to the Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack.

The Halo 3: Recon disc appeals to three various types of people. The first group being, the people who love Halo 3 and would love something more than Halo 3 maps. The second group, who don't think the Legendary map pack is a good buy. The third, the people who do not have Xbox Live. Halo 3: Recon offers a new campaign experience for those who want more. Halo 3: Recon is an alternative option for those who don't want to pay for the Legendary maps. Finally, Halo 3: Recon offers the rest of the Halo 3 experience to those who do not have Xbox Live.

I think it's more like this diagram. This diagram may be faulty in presentation, and certainly looks worse, but I think it might be a good representation. The SKUs, Halo 3 and Halo 3: Recon branch out to Campaign and Multiplayer. Halo 3 Campaign and Halo 3: Recon Campaign are similar in terms of engine, storyline etc. but the new campaign offers more, like a new perspective, music and new content (not available to the Halo 3 multiplayer)

I believe that Halo 3: Recon's multiplayer experience is focused on the offline audience. The disc offers all the maps avaliable on Xbox Live and includes Forge for them to play around in.

Taking all this in, it seems to be that there is focused emphasis on the campaign experience, which leads to the possibility that this campaign may just exceed our expectations.

On the other hand, I could totally be wrong.
 
Charts and long-winded explanations aside, H3R could be seen as a Bungie Orange Box, correct? There are multiplayer and single player games in the same package even though they're unrelated (see: Half-Life 2: Episode Two and Team Fortress 2).

Hehe, B.O.B.
 
gamevee is working btw. its uploading stuff really quickly, probably because the demand hasnt yet piled on yet. anywho i uploaded dis video:
