You did! I've got it on my devkit. It's slated for a more official looking-at for August matchmaking.

Wow, thanks. Appreciate the update.

The Bungie Day playlist sounds like a blast.

Side note (directed at everyone): I asked for Bungie Day thread banners, and this is the current front runner banner (read: only one sent) for the Bungie Day thread. It fits into the theme of this thread nicely, I think. If anyone has a better idea, whip it up.

:lol

 

[Willeth]

Bungie Day thread banners,

Dammit, it's almost 1:30 AM and I need to go to bed, and you challenge me with this shit?


...give me until two. :lol

40-50 community maps, all pulled from Atlas. Probably primarily on Sandbox.

 

[Willeth]

Okay, can't be bothered making it any better. My eyes are screaming at me.

EDIT: Uh. Bungie folks - have censorship rules slackened or was the instance of 'motherfucker' at 29:25 a slip?

Isn't it 2009?

 

[Shishka]

40-50 community maps, all pulled from Atlas. Probably primarily on Sandbox.

We ended up pulling back. The final number is 36 maps. Not bad, all things considered.

 

[Willeth]

Fuckshit. Hang on.

EDIT:

I really like how the I in that font can also read as an L depending on mood. :lol

And yeah, seems like there's a lot more cursing in this podcast than usual. Am I just noticing it now or was it avoided/bleeped before?

I haven't listened to the whole thing yet either, but they do seem to be a little loose in the tongue. LOL

The newfound freedom of moving out of Mama Microsoft's house.

Amirite or amirite.

 

[Striker]

For those not so inclined to listen to the whole podcast, what is the Bungie Day playlist comprised of?

Some submissions from ATLAS.

You guys probably have heard already, but to be clear:

Yes, this theme was in regard to the Bungie vs The World Bungie Day playlist.

The final verdict was 36 maps were taken out of Atlas and put into this list. The playlist is finalized, so the "Summer Theme" is closed and you can go back to not tagging your maps.

This was... An educational experience over here and we'll see what the final outcome is. After the playlist is retired, I'll do my best to deliver individualized feedback for each map that was selected.

 

[Willeth]

Just flicked through the manual for Halo 2. On the first page it advertises the book 'Halo: The Fall of the Reach'. :lol

Edit: Also, didn't realise that Wraiths went from having an auto-turret to a manned turret between 2 and 3.

DAMNNNN. Whoever did that is

a) a beastly Painter and is an MLGxPROBR at Banners and
b) fucking stupid because it's '09, not '08.

Fuck

heres your montage song

u r welcome

 

[vhfive]

New Bungie Podcast is up.

awesome listening now

 

[Tashi]

Wait a second, this montage needs to be 10-15 minutes long. It requires at least 3 songs. There are just too many HaloGaffers to squeeze into 4 minutes.

[Zeouterlimits]

Ooh, Bungie playlist sounds like a fantastic idea.
Of course there's the odd chance that you'll keep looking for games and never get to play with them (which would be kind of .... lonely?).

Dream team:
Staten
Jones (AWOL)
O'Donnell
Timmins/Butcher (engineering re-pres-ent!)

:lol

Sounds awesome. Let's just hope that these maps are better than those currently in matchmaking and everything should go smoothly.

Long Shot 1
Long Shot 2

Team Flag iz up! Who wants to join me in a party and destroy bad kidz?

 

[A Penguin]

Check out my first rendered clip: http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=82224491

It's a pretty nice headshot I got on a camo'ed guy.

I went over the video six times and the only time I could tell he was there was after you shot him. How the fuck did you do it?

 

[EazyB]

Haven't listened to the whole podcast but from what I read here it sounds awesome. Definitely looking forward to playing the playlist and ignoring all the hardasses posting about how this or that map aint perfect.

Team flag time!

And for anyone that hasn't listened to the podcast. They said Heretic was much more Midship than Blackout is Lockout. And that one of the unrevealed maps is great and "if you like Midship I think you're going to love this map."

 

[Shrennin]

I went over the video six times and the only time I could tell he was there was after you shot him.

The guy was invisible, still requires major reflexes though.

 

[The Librarian]

The guy was invisible, still requires major reflexes though.

Well, duh.

 

[Shrennin]

Well, duh.

I was just commenting on him being invisible because you can *barely* make it out that he's there right before he makes the shot. I definitely wouldn't have been able to make a shot like that though - that was crazy. Probably the best sniper shot I've ever seen.

Awesome, can't wait to play Entrenched on the 7th and then general matchmaking.

All makes sense now, Ghaleon

Entrenched is too big for a 4v4 playlist.

 

[backflip10019]

Entrenched is too big for a 4v4 playlist.

Yeah and Avalanche is far too big for 5v5 heavy flag but it's still in the Team Flag playlist. Haven't you learned that Shishka doesn't care about map size?

 

[EazyB]

Entrenched is too big for a 4v4 playlist.

Still fun, but yeah, I forgot it was a 4v4 playlist. Sanctum and Warlock on the 7th and Entrenched from August onward!

 

[The Librarian]

needless complaining

wha---?

It was confirmed that at least one GAF map was in the playlist. So, either one of those, I reckon.

 

[Gui_PT]

Hey guys, i have a question.

Many times, especially on CTF games, my whole team left the game and i was left alone against 6 guys.

Does Bungle compensate me in anyway for not running away when things get complicated?
Or am i simply screwed over by my team mates crying on a corner like a baby?

This. And if you quit, you lose experience. Fair, right?

wha---?

You'll bend over and take it right in the ass for Bungie, won't you?

 

[GhaleonEB]

I thought about just telling you, but I decided it would be more fun this way.

I'm still floored and honored the attention the map has gotten. It should be mentioned that Entrenched only got to this state after weeks of testing tweaking with the GAF crew; I didn't do a specific GAF shout out, but you guys really deserve a lot of the credit. And EazyB in particular, as it's the EazyB Nerfed Edition(TM) that turned out to work. :lol

Extremely

:lol I just listened to the GAF callout on the podcast. The 7th is gunna be a blast; already wish it wasn't just one day. Would be easier to see the veto data because I can't see many players playing all 38 maps during that day let alone getting to know them well enough to do make educated vetoes.

Gotta get Ber Ber Creek submitted to Atlas just so I can bump up that GAF submitted number. But not this weekend, this weekend is Flag weekend.

I'm still floored and honored the attention the map has gotten.

Deserves it, dude. It's a real gem.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Anyone know anything about video compression?

I got my Blackmagic working after some tinkering, right now Its only in component quality because I don't even have an HDMI Xbox (day one xbox) but like 20 seconds of recorded uncompressed near-HD video is like 100MB, and I can't be uploading 100 MB files over and over.

I can load it up in Vegas and reencode it, but what would work well where I would get max compression with minimum quality loss?

 

[Sai-kun]

worst avatar quote context ever

 

[Domino Theory]

So a 4v4 Slayer/Objective BRs playlist with 5000 community maps including Ghaleon's awesome Entrenched with Bungie teams in regular rotation in the playlist?

Team Flag as a DBLEXP weekend this week?

Why the fuck are all the good playlists temporary? :lol

Where are you in Halo 1?

 

[Domino Theory]

The level after the snow area with a ridiculous amount of 90 degree hallways.

343 Guilty Spark is what it's called, I think.
