Hopefully Bungie's next publisher supports the feature.MrBig said:
You might not, but I sure do. The new service record in particular I spend quite a bit of time sifting through.A27 Tawpgun said:
We agree that there are other areas b.net can be improved in, but the notion that it hasn't been over time is patently absurd.

Well commendations have been useless imo, but the service record itself is nice. But I mean things like heatmaps. I fail to see how they can help me. I'm pretty sure I know where the power/death areas are on maps without Bungie's science telling me.
They need more things that will be widely used. Honestly, now is a good time to bring back the clan system. Imagine that they will have Ranked, Social, and Clan Arena. You have seasons and divisions and such in the Clan Arena. Party of 4 required.
Use Waypoint or whatever 343 will be using and help organize Halo events. Something to make the multiplayer experience feel a little more alive. 343 is a company DEDICATED to Halo. They should show even more support and community interaction that Bungie did.

Nothing confirmed or even officially hinted at. If anything, 343i/Frankie have been strongly downplaying rumours for some time.
The only thing we have to go on is the fact that the CEmake rumours have persisted over the past few months, all from "anon." sources.
If there's no Halo at all at E3 we can't blame MS/343i for setting up false expectations.

They haven't said a peep. Not a word. Haven't said they will be there or won't be there.
The only thing they've hyped up is PAX/Halofest. They have been banging that drum loud and clear for some time now whilst ignoring questions concerning E3.

I really REALLY hope E3 brings a new map pack announcement. I will spend 1200 points for 5 maps. 2 maps is a joke.

Frankie dismissed the press tags as nothing more than marketing fluff. Wouldn't be surprised if 343i/Frankie was unaware of the tags until they were posted on the net.
Now if the tags had said Halo remake or anything to confirm the rumours it would be a different story. It was just branding/marketing fluff as Frankie suggested and I believe it.
Aye. For PAX, they need to tell fans to come in advance. Not only don't they need to at E3, but they're not invited in the first place.Dani said:Do you honestly think that I think like that?
Also, I'm reasonably certain I could play Haloball, Hockey and Haloball Xtreme forever. Something about knocking those balls around is deeply satisfying.
Just had one hell of a comeback in Haloball Xtreme, going down something like 9-15, then winning 25-19. We got our shit together quick.
I got banned from XBL for two weeks back in the H2 days for having my connection drop all the time. My modem was a piece of shit, so I would drop to Blue Screen and run into walls until I reconnected.Plywood said:
I would mostly play 1v1's because it was the most stable for me (obviously). Very frequently I would be leading games and lag intermittently. I was completely vulnerable, essentially getting stand-byed by my own Modem. I would come back from lag, and dominate the other player, then I would find a corner and prepare for the blue screen, I got good at predicting when it would drop me to blue screen.
I would get tons of angry messages that I was cheating, when really, they had a huge advantage. But, because I would still win I got cheating complaints and eventually got banned for it. Pretty hilarious.

Seriously though, why the hell is that not a neutral laser?!

EDIT(also slightly related): *
Can someone put that asterisk next to our 'L' in the tournament bracket please?
Black Ops can render directly to YouTube. While I don't see this happening for Bungie's new IP because of the existence of their current system (which they likely make a profit from), I'm sure it'll be expanded on in the future. I'd guess greater tools to get the render process going from in-game, for starters.GhaleonEB said:Hopefully Bungie's next publisher supports the feature.
On the topic of bnet features, what I'd like to see most from bnet feature expansion is more detail on the online friends widget they have. Currently it just has the game or application they're currently using, but adding the second and third lines that Xbox.com and the dashboard currently have would make me a happy camper (and it would mean I'd never have to visit xbox.com again, since it's one of the slowest sites to render that I've ever seen).
Because maps designed for Invasion are god awful when not playing vanilla Invasion, where they're at least acceptable? So many half-baked ideas, so little time.Steelyuhas said:

I actually think that Breakpoint is pretty decent for Big Team except for some really odd weapon placements, like that laser.
Keep in mind that decent for a Big Team map in Reach means its better than Paradiso. Did I just call Paradiso a map?
Well in most tournaments there is a third place game. SC2 does that a lot.Ramirez said:His posts come off real jackass-ish, and it takes a lot to make me feel that way, heh.
We lost, bad, to a team that lost even worse to the people that won the tourney, beating a team and claiming 3rd place isn't going to change the fact that we crapped the bed against the other team, heh.
Are the other teams battling it out for 4th,5th,6th, etc. up to 30th place?
Also, we didn't shit the bed. You may have thought that cause you weren't in the games very long, but we actually were in each game to the very end. Even with people dying, like myself and Nutter, trying to invite you back to the game.
Edit: Also, who is Julie, and where can I get pics?
That's certainly setting a high quality bar (I know you made the joke already, but I can never get my fill of trashing Paradiso). I'd actually agree with you on Breakpoint, but decent is as high as I could go for many gametypes. It just suffers from some unfortunate carryovers from its Invasion roots - the rigid compartmentalization of the map, for one, and non-Invasion objective and weapon placements existing seemingly as afterthoughts, which brings problems like the laser to the forefront.Steelyuhas said:
Somewhat related: I seem to remember urk mentioning a postmortem on Reach coming, is there any timetable on when that's going to happen? I would really love to see how their hindsight jives with the opinions of players (specifically the laundry list of issues, however minor, that is repeated ad infinitum in threads like this).
Retrospectively hilarious, but at the time it really didn't bother me as much as it should have. I mostly played on the weekends only back then too, so it wasn't as much of my time taken up to piss me off.Plywood said:
I even made a desperation thread on Bungie.net, got the usual, "STFU cheater!" responses, and a couple, "maybe you shouldn't play online until you get a better connection." The latter being the sensible response.
The worst thing about that period was that H2 was pretty much the only game I could play online, it was the only one that would reconnect you mid-game. I would have probably been playing a ton of other games, but when I lagged out in other games, I actually lagged out, and never came back to that game.
Hmm, I got my old modem out and direct connected it and didn't get dropped the rest of the night. I've had this router since Christmas though, and haven't changed any settings on it, I'm not sure why it would be giving me problems now. :|

This guy obviously wants to play some games against GAF. I've been a lurker for quite some time but I'm up for putting a team together last minute. So if anyone else is interested let's do it. As long as it's DMR starts with no AL he's got a game.
