Nah, he's cool. But he is a jerk sometimes. Who else would say hello by saying, "Hey asshole"? Classic Numbers.

Ah, Bungie in the Work Place... Didn't know it was in the Bungie Blog.squidhands said:
Apparently everyone here loves action figures... I just want some damn Bungie clothes. I don't want a plastic figurine.
I haven't made any maps beyond Brouhaha. I'm done with forge beyond altering existing works. If you ever want help geomerging you can send me an invite and I can see what I can do. And yeah, many maps are broken by elevation advantages. I put a lot of though into it on Brouhaha but I can't get people out of the base to see if it really worksStriker said:

EazyB, I have never seen you play Battlefield 1943. How the fuck have you played 100 matches already? And with that many kills?
After spending at least 2 hours making a roof for Brouhaha, I decided that it may do more harm than good. Turned the grav lifts down a tad but other than that I wanna play one or two more matches on it before changing it.
I've been messing around in '43 since its launchSelf Induced said:

Ok, lets say I only have a laptop and no capture card, but an HDTV with mysterious ports on its backside and a surround sound system with even more mysterious input/output ports. What is the least expensive way to get footage from my Xbox to my computer, perhaps by utilizing these extraneous ports?
I remember doing something using an old VCR to record footage to submit to highspeedhalo for the zero shot run on "Halo" but I can't find any of the equipment used for that, as it was quite a while ago.

People with alternate accounts can still use the DLC content, they just have to sign in with their main account and their alt at the same time, and then sign the main out.

Do folk think the new maps will be totally exclusive to ODST?
What are the chances of them being released as DLC (free or paid) for Halo 3?
I hope our old Halo 3 discs don't become completely redundant by not even allowing us access to the new maps. I'm likely buying ODST, but I can't guarantee i'll have money at the time. I'd also like to be able to give my old/new disc to friends and get them back into Multiplayer.
I'd like to think they'll be available for free (unlikely) or to purchase, even if only after the first month's launch period or so.
I think MS would be missing a treat selling it as DLC to Halo 3 owners. And I think if that's the plan, they should announce so in advance.

It was always part of the plan to make both the mythic map pack, and the pack coming out with ODST, DLC. MS decided to package them with games first to try to entice gamers into buying games they may not have purchased for the game alone. A cheap ploy that set many people off. I myself did not buy Halo Wars and waited until the Mythic pack became DLC. The last three maps will also become DLC some time after ODST comes out but it is not clear when. I'm guessing around Jan/Feb but I don't think anyone knows for sure.

I see that there are Gaf customs that go on every once in a while. I would love to be involved since most of my friends don't play that often and matchmaking gets boring.

Bungie/Halo 3's Matchmaking service does NOT use any "avoid/prefer" tags from the XBL UI. If you avoid a player from the last game you played, it makes no difference on whether or not you'll be matched up with him again. And 2nd/Multiple accounts are a delicate issue. Unfortunately you won't see a solution for it as long as it is profitable to MS.
Yes. There are ways around the DLC requirements as long as someone on your 360 has downloaded them.
I noticed the same. However, since the BvW playlist was a brand new playlist, their Trueskill rank in it would have been the same regardless if they were playing on their main account or their 117th account. When a new playlist comes out everyone, regardless of their current rank, starts out at a level 1. What is funny is that the team of 4 Five-Star Generals who were rolling in the BvW playlist for hours on end essentially made it impossible for them to ever get matched up against the Bungie team because their invisible Trueskill ranks were too high for them to get matched. Essentially, the more games you played and won in the BvW playlist, the less chance you had to play against Bungie.
H3's matchmaking system does not have regional filters. If you're EU you won't get matched up with other EU players exclusively. However, MM does require at least a certain level of connectivity to have the game be matched. If your evidence isn't purely anecdotal, it appears for some reason you have better connectivity to EU/AUS players. It really depends on what time you are playing the game. If you're playing at 1pm EST, that is getting into primetime playing hours in UK/Europe. You'll be far more likely to get matched up with those players then.
~B.B.
Maybe bungie could incorporate it on Reach. The new dashboard will display your gold join date (or something similar), I'm almost sure bungie could make the game check that info somehow and allow you to pair only with people that have been gold members for more than 40 days.BerserkerBarage said:
Also bungie, make it so if someone quits a game, they cannot rejoin matchmaking for another 30 minutes.
~L.
So I am sure there is an explanation out there, but last night I was playing SWAT on Epitath I got an overkill on the other team...nailed one guy then the other three spawned right where I was looking nailed them all...so got the overkill and wiped out the whole team...why did I not get an extermination?

GG's to everyone I played with yesterday. I have a 3 day weekend and will be playing a ton of Halo! Anyone who wants to try and rank up with me is welcome to join. (GT: pontifex PRIME) Also, we should get some awesome customs going.

I think due to the respawn. They all have to be spawned at once on the map.

-It needs to be an objective game type for the exterm.
EDIT: I've only been able to get an extermination in objective. Looks like the first guy you killed might have respawned.

ShinAmano said:
Do you know if the first guy respawned by the time you killed the 4th guy? Overkill just means you had 4 seconds between each kill to string the next but Extermination requires all four of them to be dead at the same time. So you could conceiveably get an overkill by having those minute gaps in seconds between each kill that would buy the first guy killed enough time to respawn before the fourth body drops.

Yep ... just as seen here. Had I hit the 4th guy with the first shot I would have got the exterm ... but I was slacking.SquallASF said:

I think it's safe to assume it'll be released as DLC at some point. It'd be pretty messed up if Halo 3 owners couldn't even acquire all the achievement points for the game unless they downloaded a separate title.Shafto said:
Then again it's already messed up that they haven't explicitly said that they'd release it as DLC let alone given it a release date. It's MS though, so I wouldn't be entirely shocked if they didn't say anything through ODST's release to increase ODST's perceived value. And to think there's the slightest chance of it being free is as naive as one could be. Again, they want to increase ODST's perceived value, that's why these maps didn't get released last fall, and of course they want to make as much money off of Halo proper until their janky attempts devalue the IP.
The first guy probably respawned before you took out their last guy. The spawns are pretty fast in SWAT.ShinAmano said:
That always sucks, I was close to getting my first one here in ranked TS 2 vs 4, but the first guy spawned like a second before I killed the 4th one.EazyB said:

Btw, really I love all the flight shops you've done the past 2 years. For some reason I always find it very funny to see a pink flight elite in random situations. :lol

Yeah, you really need to be quick about it to get the Exterm. In the one that I got a couple of days ago, I sniped three guys within like 2 seconds and then picked off the fourth for the overkill about a second later. It was MLG TS on the Pit, so I was actually pretty surprised that I got it.

I think that's exactly the case. MS won't do anything that they'd perceive as detrimental to ODST's sales, at least until the holiday shopping season is over. I wouldn't be surprised if the last three maps will be available on xbl come the first of next year. And I highly doubt anything else Halo 3 related will be free until after Reach comes out, if at all.

Get a better connection, scrub.Sai-kun said:
I lag out plenty at home but I still agree there should be stricter penalties for quitting out of team games. 30 seems like too heavy but a 10 minute penalty sounds about right. Gives those that had to leave because something came up time to deal with it while those that lagged out a few minutes to contemplate ways in which to improve their connectionSai-kun said:
Of course if the majority of one's team quits they should be able to quit without penalty.
People like you are the reason why majority of the games in Halo 3 matchmaking have lag. Complain all you like about your laggy games but if you have a shitty ass connection to begin with, I do not think you can complain about the game being laggy or you lagging out.Sai-kun said:
