I was concerned you were aiming that fuck you at me lol. Assuming that this new game will be an MMO, a mobile app will have a lot of potential. Perhaps purchase a new weapon, or how about check the status on your ships repair?

Best online game mode ever and no one has even thought of copying it. It made you feel like you where actually fighting a large scale war and gave you incentive to win.
If that reboot of MechWarrior ever releases, hopefully it'll be something like that.
I was hoping the LASO runs would do their encore runs as daily, rather than weekly, Challenges, and we would see a renewed focus on either new or updated MP and FF ones for the weeklies. Would be a great way to punch up the dailies, droping one a week on say, Sunday or Saturday. I just sort of shrugged at seeing one show up today, and such a random mission.
Though, given where Bungie is in the handoff process, maybe Exodus is a metaphor.

Rumble Pit is such a mess, people always vote for AR starts, I'm the only one on the leader board with Pistol ToD pretty much every game, everyone else is AR/Frag/Melee, ugh. My first game of the day I was one off from having more headshots than the other 7 guys combined, hypothetically trueskill should be matching me against people who enjoy that type of gameplay, HMMM.
I'd really love to see 343 tweak the weapon sets on some of these maps, Countdown and Swordbase in particular do not need a sword & shotgun. It just promotes the terrible campy gameplay that already happens on those maps even when people don't have those weapons...
I would post about how much I hate AL in there as well, but I think we all know about that already...

I really enjoyed seeing the "complete 9 campaign on Heroic" Weekly. Good stuff there.
LASO runs, while challenging, presented too much difficulty for the average player. Didn't really make me want to continue on with Pillar of Autumn on LASO.
Of course, I suppose the whole concept of the LASO run isn't meant for the 'average' player anyways.

Metaphor or no, its a shitty weekly lol.

I like that idea. Can we run some games this week sometimes with those weapons? I'll set it up, we just need 8 people.
Well we are getting a new Steel Battalion too! so ha!darthbob said:Steel Battalion is better.
Seriously though could any of you imagine how cool it would have been if Reach would have had an online mode like Chromehounds where we fight to take control over territories on Reach.
I'll come out of retirement for thatSteelyuhas said:
Edit: We should place Armor Abilites as pick-ups on maps and playtest that too. I'm going to be pushing 343 to implement AA pickups into certain playlists (Squad, Team Objective, Arena, BTB, Premium, and Doubles - evade, jetpack, and hologram only). Zealot needs another power weapon, maybe Rockets with only two shots on the lower level. Boardwalk could use a grenade launcher instead of a plasma lawn chair.
Would someone be kind enough to render this clip?
It's easily my best/luckiest snipe I can remember from any Halo game.

so this was a pretty old clip, but the lift sniping reminded me:

This is exactly what I think Bungie's next game will do. I think it'll be sci-fi FPS, but on a larger scale than Halo. I think it'll have persistent battles where you fight over portions of a world or worlds.
Also, you'll be able to play against players on PS3, 360, and PC with a mobile element coming into play in some way. I think you'll actually be able to play parts of the game from your mobile app, and it won't be a side experience or stats tracking, but will actually help you progress your main account. The multiple platforms all intermingled sounds right up Bungie's alley of innovating in a newish way.
That's my Bungie Next speculation.

The Grenade Launcher would be an unstoppable beast on Countdown.Tunavi said:

I hate getting shot by that thing. I think paired with the hallways of Countdown it would make for not a fun experience.

I think the thumper should be on every map.
I love it. It could be overpowered but it'd also be pretty baller at flushing out top health pack area as well as the top of each lift. So many people ignore it, and many are no good with it, so it may actually be just fine.I wouldn't mind sword being removed from the map. With Sprint and narrow hallways its a beast. The other night I got a Rampage and Slice 'n Dice due to the sword. 14 sword kills. That's just stupid.
I'd like to see weapon placement fixed. Maybe put shotgun in the middle of the bottom floor instead of bottom of the lift. The Reach guys sure seemed to have a fascination with putting power weapons were they are best used (for the most part).

Countdown needs to lose Countdown.

Yeah not sure if its worth ending my glorious retirement haha.
Grenade Launcher or Shotgun in the 'Basement' (bottom mid) on Zealot would work pretty well I think. As for Countdown, what you originally came up with would work pretty well I think. Grenade Launcher where the shotgun was, Focus Rifle where the Sword was, and Concussion stays were it is. I don't know what the hell to do with Boardwalk...
Speaking of our epic blaze of glory that we exited Reach with, the video has about 1,800 downloads on Bnet and 2,200 views on Youtube. I have been offered MS points in exchange for someone to commentate the gameplay lol, and I had no less than about 20 FR and messages when I got on Xbox last night from randoms asking about that game lol.

I LOVE IT.A27 Tawpgun said:Powerhouse, Zealot, and Boardwalk are some of the better maps in Reach, but they aren't re-make quality classics.
Also, I figured I'd post a sig (lol) I made a long time ago. Seems relevant to the thread.
I use it at every forum that has sigs enabled.
You should do another with Noble Six the biggest, then the ODST, then a Spartan from Halo Wars.

Agreed. Never been a big fan of the Sword, so I'm up for replacing it as often as possible. And I never said having the GL on Countdown would be a bad thing.MrBig said:
lol someone took a picture of the rocket you miraculously dodged at the beginning! Also, Kwatz saved your ass at 2:00 with the hologram haha. And no one on our team went for the initial rocket spawn... And if anyone was wondering how the post-game conversation was, it went something like thisSteelyuhas said:

I would something like Spec Ops from MW2 in a Halo game.
Like activities from the campaign (space mission, Reach racer etc), timed based runs , huge battles and clearing out areas.
Instead of loading up a campaign mission and getting to the point, you can just load up a "spec ops" lobby. Challenges and commendations can be made related to the mode and matchmaking versions of this so players can earn higher credit payouts (equal to FF or MM payouts).
