See you on Dota in a bit?

Weren't we promised file share info in this bulletin...
I'm not even upset at this anymore. It's a fact of life.
Junior jokes are like legitimately using "YOLO" or "swag" in daily conversation.
Also, the bulletin was yet another disappointment. Where's the file share information? When's the ranking system coming? What's the word on Team Doubles? Why the hell do I need to read a half-season recap of Spartan Ops when I played the damn thing myself? Guess they were low on content this week.
I used to be such a fan of the bulletins. Now it's just increasing levels of disappointment.

Lol I cant believe I read most of the bulletin and skipped over the H2V killing section.
And no file share announcement.
I give that bulletin a 0/10.

With a map pack for Halo 4 (or 5, what ever they've got going on when it comes out).
This is my order of best to worst specializations.
Wetwork - Hate PM, and love being a ninja?
Tracker - Love ordinance, but hate the drop? Pick again.
Rogue - The stability is pretty nice, but the flinching can be overcame.
Engineer - If you have to have that power weapon. Could turn the tide if it is a 1sk or splash weapon.
Operator - If driving is your thing, could be huge.
Pathfinder - Turrets aren't the big a part of the game. On a warthog it's nice, but plasma kills the vehicle too fast.
Stalker - The red X is so short and the maps are easy to navigate with instant respawn.
Pioneer - Once it is done, it is useless.
Personally, I don't use any of these. And ordering is subject to my mood, and the individual user.

IF this is an issue of manpower, they just need to create the Halo legacy sustain position. This would be an employee that would be in charge of every Halo title as it passes into it's long tail of support. More of an overwatch/maintenance position.
So this Legacy Sustain Producer would be in charge of:
- Maintaining the server that runs Halo 2's match server by unplugging it for 30 seconds and plugging it back in every month
- Maintaining the Halo 3 playlists (adjusting things to keep match times usable, trimming dead playlists)
- Maintaining the Halo Reach playlists (same as Halo 3)
- Maintaining Halo Wars
- Maintaining Halo 4 when the next game comes out
Since they wouldn't be making wild and major changes, they could rotate the updates for each (ie, update Halo 3 one month, update Reach the other).
Also made a gaming side thread

It would be fucked up if the really can not get file share to work in the game for some reason and they just do not want to admit it lol.
lol, please, Omlet is the one that wants his hands down my pants. I kinda tend to have that affect on people, though. Like you, for example, you can't handle all the pressures of Dota without having Eazyb or myself there to guide you along every step of the way.

Tune in next week we'll discuss file shares that we should have discussed about this week...
and then the following week
Well tune in next week to discuss "our philosophy" towards matchmaking...

That's all we ever hear is false promises from 343i, we're always waiting until next week like they're just dragging some of you along. I got off that train along time ago and have no hope for the future of Halo. Makes me sad actually.

bsangel also admitted that in the forums.

I awarded a half-point to spartan ops r6 trailer because of the recap and the screenshot, and I considered awarding half points to the ones that were mentioned to be elaborated on in a future bulletin/neek weeks bulletin, but... Only one half-point gets to be awarded, since it's BINGO after all. Pretty much a fail grade this week.
Open tray, insert CoD.
This bulletin really left me disappointed... The only "news" news was bad news.
If your Xbox red rings, it would probably provide sufficient heat to cook that fish.

Open tray, continue to use my Xbox to watch Netflix and HBO.
Agreed, how is this not a thing?
In general (not just Halo), these AAA MP games are pitched and sold as a continuous experience of new content and updated online services, and yet most of them are not delivered upon from that perspective.
I do it to entertain you turds, don't forget that. My support is unmatched. Ask whoever lanes with me.
If you just care for the achievement, there is a way with altering the campaign map files.
You just start the campaign and peng.. Legendary finished.
Really easy from what I've seen in a video

343 really needs to stop baby feeding us information. The game is out, so there should be no need to hide shit. If the company is going to promote itself as community oriented, then start demonstrating it. I am really tired of waiting on every bulletin, just to be disappointed that no word is said about the skilled ranking system. It is an important factor in Halo MM that has been taken away. Recognize that 343 and start getting your shit together.

That bulletin sucked. Why take down the Halo 2 servers? Nobody thinks they are going to produce any kind of Halo 2 MP after Halo 4 right? You are getting Maps in Halo 4. I think Halo 2 anniversary will launch for both Xbox's.
I bought Borderlands 2 to hold me over until Halo 4 and I have switched back to Borderlands.

So, does anybody wanna boost achievements in Halo 2 Vista while we still can?

I mean, this update was alright. Gave us Spartan Ops info (for those who care I guess). New specializations being unlocked for the plebeians. Halo 2 shutting down, which I think we should be pointing the finger at Microsoft on this one.
I just wish they would fucking stop lying to us. bsangle said straight up (not a hint) that file share was going to be in this update. It was no where. The lack of TU info is one thing, but why lie? Fuck I don't get it

If 343 / Microsoft can find the resources to cut off Halo 2 PC, they can find the resources to update and consolidate Reach's and 3's playlists, right?
Seriously?
Yes.
I actually still need to get a few. Never bothered to play through and finish campaign on anything higher than normal, so that's going to be the biggest one for me.

50
Legend

50
King of the Scarab
Acquire the Scarab gun on the Metropolis level, any difficulty

Same. Lost my Halo 2 disc long ago, but I'll pick one up tomorrow. Not really about the boosting, I just want to play again.
They'll be shut down before that happens

Which in my opinion is just plain embarassing. There's still a fairly sizable population in Reach, but not one that that game's playlist arangement makes any sense for...

Good point Blissful. Not a word about ranking system.
