Well thats kind of obvious but I still think they would have those things carry over to default Reach as an option. I mean making a mandatory download (can still play online without it) and selling activation codes makes sense too. I mean CE Anniversary does come with a code to use the maps on the Reach disc too.Plywood said:

Well they could really do whatever the fuck they want to with the new maps because they can put whatever they want into the .map files. I am assuming that whatever is "classic" is tied to the new maps and will only be available on the new maps.
Also random thought that I just remembered. I know I've mentioned this before, but every time I go into Firefight I find that my Firefight voice has been reset to Noble Six. Has no one else experienced this issue?

Pistol can at least pull off headshots in those clutch situations when you run out of DMR ammo and don't have time to reload.The Antitype said:I knew there was a reason I always ditched the pistol for the DMR instead of the AR

The issue is that you are still playing on Sword Base though.

If you play more games online, your profile should update automaticly. There was a glitch on Bnet after Reach got released which caused the spartans to not update.
hey Ghaleon, hitmonlee and tunavi, check out this CLUTCH OVERKILL YEAAAAH!

This was right after I was camping right there with a shotgun, completely hidden from the other team, but then Tunavi or someone betrayed me with grenades. I was still pissed about it and then I just shat my pants when I saw all 5 of them with the flag. Good thing I'm so friggin good.

Wow, this week's challenge is a ripoff
For 10k cR
This weekly has already been done before, where you were given 11k cR for completing 77 multiplayer games

I'm getting ~2000cR for a game. If I only play more than 5 games, I'll get more credits than the challenge gives me.

If I get the weekly, the 10k payout is dwarfed by the 525k+ payout I'd receive from the games themselves.
Crummy weekly at least for credits earned. The amount you get with those 150 games, you can earn in just three games regularly.
Hoping for July's update for MM includes including some more maps. Removing Hemorrhage without attempting to alter nor give any substitute really pushes the limit of variety. Why isn't Kingdom in the playlist for 2-flag or 2-bomb? Why isn't the new maps that's from TS in Objective (Think Twice, Select, Rebirth, Precipice). Though I ran through Think Twice, looks garbo and filled with too many power weapons.

Who failed math at Bungie?
150 games should at least be a new high, 30K.

Any gaffers playing in 2 hours from now?. I live in Japan so there might be a bit of lag, but back during the Weekend HaloGAF games when Reach got released, I never lagged so it should be fine...
If nobody wants to play, I guess I'll go to forge.
BTW, I downloaded both map packs but didn't read much about it. There's still no extra content for forging full maps, right?

The 77 game Challenge was from February, to boot. Challenge payouts were supposed to scale up as time went on. Yet four months later, twice as many games completed warrants a smaller payout.Dani said:If I get the weekly, the 10k payout is dwarfed by the 525k+ payout I'd receive from the games themselves.
When 343 takes over, I hope someone sits down and looks at the Challenges logically. I dig the system, but stuff like this is ridiculous. I don't understand why a system like this would be built if it was going to be sustained this poorly.

Bungie.net is still seriously lacking in some features such as rank over time and so on. Halocharts added something like that and were forced to take it down I seem to remember, so Bungie are clearly holding out on us.
Having Cr earning tracked on Bnet would be useful, being able to check how much you earned for each game would be good, but I get the feeling they ommited it because of how vague the system is, credit payouts seem to be near random, my game performance seems to make little difference lol.

Do you know that instrumental song that plays at the beginning? It is mixed with some voice cover. I really know that song, but I can't remember the name.thee henery said:

Editing is very nice, but I got bored with it. Sniper kills over and over again...yawn.thee henery said:
Yesterday I was browsing around youtube and found this Halo 3 montage. More entertaining overall I think, and it made me boot up Halo 3 and play a couple of games in Team Mythic.

I liked the montage Thee Henery posted, but the gameplay was mostly multi team, making a montage of multi team kills is like stealing candy from a baby.
Anyone fancy some Halo 3?
Nothing more exhilarating than tossing a power drain and spraying my AR.

Gotta say, though, my favorite Halo 3 montages were from Phatcorns and Team Scoog. Really highlighted what I enjoyed about Halo 3's BTB.

Not sure if this is old news, but some new pages for A Fistful of Arrows just showed up in my RSS feeder. What a spectacular comic.
I'm happy with Reach currently, but I would like a TU that adds the ability to toggle bloom on/off, fall damage on/off and more stuff to customs.
I won't be sad or disappointed if we don't get a TU, Like I said I'm happy with Reach.
I'm pretty sure Bungie turned off the player models updating because of traffic loads?
I remember seeing a post by an employee that Bungie doesn't have access to how many credits you have earned in a game. But then how is the rank bar updated?
I gotta find some sources

So I see a german rescued the american Basketball.
The plan works well. We will finally conquer the sport and then the world will be our next goal.

I imagine Destiny is just an Internal code name, no? If it isn't this is a pretty 'big' slip up. Hopefully he doesn't get in to much trouble for this.Dani said:

Great finds Dani. Don't know how I feel about a Steampunk atmosphere but I'll wait and see. Besides for me gameplay is king and if it plays half as good as all of Bungie's past games then I'll enjoy it.

The steampunk stuff isn't explicitly related to Destiny, it could have something to do with Bungie Aerospace.
Hell, look at the "Greetings from Aerospace!" t-shirts they've been selling in the Bungie store for a year. That kind of gives me a steampunk vibe.
Judging from the Destiny logo and the Seven Seraphs shirt, I'd assume Destiny is very futuristic as opposed to steampunk.
Okay, crazy theories here:
Destiny - FPS MMO, very futuristic with factions/corporations and such spread across planets. This is the Activision 10-year franchise.
Bungie Aerospace - Steampunk flight combat game. Similar to Crimson Skies. The Saber section of LNoS was a test for this. This is just an XBLA game, isn't part of the Activision 10-year deal. Hell, could it be published by someone else? Microsoft?
Although calling it "Bungie Aerospace" makes it sound like it isn't a game, but is more of a platform or service... SUPER Crazy Idea: What if it's a service whereby they crowd-source map/gametype creation? Take the Forge World Community Cartographer stuff to the next level - give players the level-creation software, they build completely new geometry and submit it to Bungie Aerospace, which then tests it out and pushes it to the console shooter (Reach? Or probably just the next game.) Kind of like what Steam does for Team Fortress 2 with community maps, but with more QA testing for the console.
Urk says Bungie Day will bring us something we never expected to get our hands on. What if that's Bungie Aerospace?
