Great Tashi-tage this week! My favorite is the flag return on Countdown. I love long skirmishes like this in montages. It highlights your juking/footwork as well as your ability to shoot. It's more entertaining to watch than a bunch of no-scope exterminations, IMO. Great no-scopes too, though! Y U no melee the air after your Overkills like teh pros? Haha, can't wait for the next, sir!Tashi0106 said:

I personally am amped that Bungie will be getting more exposure. More money doesn't necessarily mean they will lose their charm, as long as the managers constantly advocate individuality and Bungie's great business demeanor.
I'm pumped to have Bungie's influence spread evenly throughout the gaming world personally. It would be nice to hear the dichotomy die down between PS3-ers and Xbox 360-ers.

Just jumped back into Reach after I got my free disk from MS. Man I suck. Went -17 one game LOL.
The lightning armor effect was annoying the hell out of me. Makes it harder to tell when you're hitting an enemy and when his shields are down or recharging. What's a noob to do?

In the german slang "die Tage" means the menstruation of a woman. So it is kind of funny to read that.Dax01 said:

Is it just me or has there not been very many multiplayer challenges the past couple of weeks.

Um, "Tag" is German for "day."Alienshogun said:
Yeah, I know that.

the days. Die Tage is plural. Yep. But we use it in a negative way. When a girl/woman is very "bitchy", we say "That girl has her days".Alienshogun said:

Reading comprehension son, look again. Die (the) Tage (Days).
Unless you didn't realize Tage is the plural for days.
All I did was leave the s off the end by accident.
Hypertrooper said:
Yeah, that's what I meant. Even still if I didn't it's still the same gist. I'm back from the gym so my arms aren't working correctly.
That's still funny as hell.
We just say "It must be that time of the month" or some such thing.

Are you guys trying to say that Tashi-tages should come around once a month?
Because I like them fine as weeklies, thanks.

After several months of a pretty stable ratio, Firefight came up to parity with Multiplayer. Here's my tally through today (I checked after you asked):Steelyuhas said:
No complaints here, though I can see why MP folks might grumble. Firefight Challenges generally take a lot less time to complete than MP, though. Usually just one or two games.
re: Squad Slayer thread on Bnet
He also mentioned in another thread Arena was getting 3 Community made maps in the next update.
EDIT: he added more
So does anybody understand the reasoning here, or is it just me? I'm sure he, and Bungie, would like Arena to increase its population and stand strong, therefore how does expanding the strict Slayer-only playlists help matters? Urk, care to elaborate?

Will it kill them to add CTF, Assault, and Oddball to Arena then?

Alright thanks for sharing, nice to know. Multi is a little down this month compared to the overall numbers.

Wow, I just did a complete 180 on how I felt about Squad Slayer.
- It lets them add Community Maps to TS and Arena, but gives split-screen people somewhere to play without framerate issues.
- It's another playlist without Armor Lock!
I don't see them adding objective gametypes to the lone Arena playlist, and an Arena Objective playlist would be a ghost town.

I wouldn't mind this too, but I can see why it hasn't happened yet. Team Objective already has a lower population count, and Arena has a low population.Striker said:

He is adding 2flag, Neutral Assault, Oddball, and KotH to Team Classic if I'm not mistakened, and that isn't exactly getting huge counts at the moment.
There's too many playlists, and now there will be three playlists, no matter how you slice it, consisting of 8-10 players and SLAYER ONLY. I can't be the only person who finds that absurd.

Yeah I think it's pretty absurd. It will be interesting to see what happens to the population of Classic with objective gets in there, although honestly I thought the classic playlist would have a higher population count at this point.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the modern shooter fan hates anything to shooting stuff.

Striker said:
Team Classic is an odd beast (and I love it), but I don't think people go into that one looking for competitive gameplay as much. Slayer will probably win more votes overall, but I don't think people will be offended if they see objective gametypes as an option.
The Arena is inherently competitive, and I imagine there would be loud complaining if people were forced to endure objective when they just want ranked slayer. (I personally love objective btw.)
I agree that there seems to be a heap of playlists now, but it's a delicate balance of giving people more options/flavors and keeping populations (and thus matchmaking times) reasonable.

If anything, a port would be most likely, but I don't think Bungie's next game will be on the Wii. Have they announced that?wwm0nkey said:

Obviously it's a possibility (where it absolutely wasn't with Halo), but I highly doubt it.
They've been working on the new stuff for a while now, and the entire time have probably planned for it being on 360, PC, and PS3 only. Maybe we'll see The Next Big Thing 2 on the SuperWii, but I doubt the first one will be ported any time Soon.

Well, I think it depends on how strong the new Wii would be. I'm not really familiar with the strenght of the Wii but I don't think it would be able to handle a game like Reach (correct me on this if I'm wrong!).
But if it is going to be released on the ''new'' Wii , I think Bungie is also going to announce their new game on E3 (assumng the ''new'' Wii will be announced on E3). It would be a strong title for a new console.
I think that Bungie's new game will be as good or even better than Reach in performance and hopefully graphics.
That's also one of the things I hope Nintendo will improve with their new system, better graphics. I know that graphics don't make a game but it is a nice feature.
I have on example of a game with graphics that kinda ruin the game for me: Homefront.
The quality on my TV is so bad that I can't see my enemies sometimes. This could be a problem with my TV but I've never had any problems with other games.
This really ruins the experience for me.
So for me to buy the ''new'' Wii, it needs to have better graphics and a way better online system, something that was also seriously lacking on the old one.

Good point actually.Dani said:
Whatever NextBungieTitle really is, we can bet the use of online will be one of the big core features. So if Wii2 has a poor online framework then that would also hamper the chances of a Wii2 version.

But it is interesting to hear this news and I'm wondering how Microsoft and Sony are going to react on this.
Are they also going to announce a new system? I think it would be a good step for Microsoft since the 360 is getting a little old and it would be a great way to get rid of the RROD. The PS3 however still has some time to go so I think Sony will only go further with their handhelds.
