Ah I do actually have one suggestion. While browsing Bungie Favorites there are some "Most Played" boxes on the right with map and game variants. It would be cool if the name of the variant there actually linked to a popup with more info (or the info could just be displayed inline in the box). Specifically, it would be much better if you could get to see the description.

You can't tell much just from the name and author, and the only option on those side boxes is to view the author's profile or choose to download the variant to your 360. I would assume most people would want to read the description before choosing to download something, so I think this would be a helpful addition.

Oh HELL YES. Remember how everyone was asking for Steaktacular to be added as a medal, but it was too late to add it? Looks like that's one of the bungie.net-only medals.

:lol :lol :lol
 
I'd imagine it's not that difficult to continuely update and add medals to Bungie.net either.
My mind explodes everytime I try to grasp all the stuff Bungie has done and can do in the future with Halo 3.

What was the Steak bet anyway, winning by better than 50-25 in team slayer?

Beat them by 20 points. (in a 50pt game)

So, 50-30.

After Frankie insulted us, I ran my mouth and bet the twin terrors that Tung and I could beat them in a game to 50 of Team Slayer, but the foolish hook I attached was that we’d beat them by 20 points, or we'd owe them a fantastic steak dinner at a real classy joint.

“You mean, if we get to 31 kills, no matter what your score is, we can just set our controllers down and we’ve won steak dinner?” Frankie asked.

“Yep.” I groaned. What had I done?

Can anyone tell me what Gamestop said when they called, my dad answered the phone and all he said was " It Gamespot calling about some Halo stuff"
Midnight launch and to finish paying off the game you cheap ass.

They were just joking about the last part though.

Alright, I paid mine off so I am good. Too bad the one I preordered at is in a mall or else they would have a midnight opening.

i preordered halo 2 at a mall and they opened the damn mall for the launch at midnight

it was bizarre.
 
I jut finished the fight. Awesome singleplayer imo way better than the SP of Halo 2 which I thought was lacking, the pacing was just weird. On normal this was between 8-10 hours should take longe ron the other difficulties. It may be abt short but every second of Halo 3 is epic. Bungie did a fucking awesome job of finishing the storyline in the biggest way possible.

It was a well-written review, but are you aware you're breaking embargo by posting before noon pacific time tomorrow?

Are they really "breaking" anything if they didn't sign anything and just scored a copy like most folks?
 
"Game Asset" is a general term describing everything grabbed from a specific game. When you go look at a game summary, you can see every screenshot and film uploaded from that game. "Screenshots" are simply one type of asset from the game.

The only real confusing thing is that there are two types of screenshots. The ones you take from films and are auto uploaded, and the ones you put in a file share. There are some stupid behind the scenes things going on as to why they're seperate, but they are.

It's probably been explained somewhere, but I have yet to figure out what the difference between a game asset and screenshots are.

No spoilers in these screens, calm yourself:

probably all swords and brute shots

Speaking of swords, can anybody confirm or deny the ability to "block/parry" when dueling with two swords? I remember Luke mentioning something of the sort in an old BWU.
 
Achronos, you guys did an amazing job with the website. Thank you!
Just seeing the Most Popular Downloaded clips gets me so excited, cause I know I'll be having so much fun with it and it's just so user friendly. It's like the website pushes Halo even further akin to Marty's music: the cherry on top, the whipped cream.
 
Thanks. Now the trick is keeping things online. We're already up quite a bit higher from our peak, and not many people even have the game yet. Code seems to be handling it though, aside from a few bumps that nobody but us noticed (although they would have come Tuesday).

I've been here since 7am this morning. We're already on our second hotfix build. Agile programming indeed. Better than being on the phone with operations during the midnight launch like I was during Halo 2, though. :)
