Apologies if I came off rude. It just seemed like an opportunity to express my feelings towards ODST. It's definitely fun and worthwhile, but obviously not a full effort from Bungie.

You don't like Guardian in MLG? I thought that map was one of the best to play MLG on; right there with The Pit and Construct.
And what's the deal with the MM updates just... showing up without notice? Give people notice in-game, on Bnet, something. Let folks know things have changed regardless of how big or small the changes are.
Those occassional pop-up messages that show up on Halo 3 and ODST just before you get to the menu would be nice to have saying "[insert month here]'s Matchmaking Update is now live! These are its changes: X, Y, Z" and the A button being "I get it, let me play!"

Nah, Guardian is too unpredictable in MLG Slayer and it's just terrible for Ball. Ok, I guess it wasn't that bad for Slayer, but I'm really psyched for Heretic!Domino Theory said:

Unless I'm missing something, the new Bungie store is pretty unexciting. There's like 3 different types of tshirts and some water bottles. A simple "Bungie" logo shirt is not even there, nor are there polos, sweatshirts, and the random do dads that made the previous store great. I hope this is just a preliminary stage and they add a ton more.

urk said:Yeah, seems you missed the part where we said it was launching pre-alpha.
We'll have more stuff soon. Soon as we make sure all the kinks are worked out. So stuff it!
What kind of stuff?
*wishes for full scale BR replicas*
I don't remember ever checking out the old Bungie store but I think it'll take quite some time before they could possibly get a healthy variety of stuff up there. They probably won't ever be selling any Halo shirts as Mark Ecko's got that shit locked down and Halo is under MS now. Unless they strike a deal with MS to continue pumping out Halo garb, then we'll have to wait for New IP to show up.Stormtrooper30 said:
I checked out the toy section and didn't see mah chopper. What gives? First the anit-chopper BWU and now this. Luke told me he'd try to hook me up with one but that was over a year ago so I've given up.urk said:
And tell those figurine guys to ship out some Flight toys. A whole product line of the stuff.

I saw Ghaleon wearing this shirt at PAX:
I really like it. Don't know why the Bungie store doesn't show the backs of the shirts in it's exactly like his way the back has a small seventh column symbol with the words "Truth. Carnage. Bungie." beneath it. Would be awesome if they had more Bungie shirts.

I'm wearing this one right now, which is my favorite of the PAX shirts:EazyB said:I saw Ghaleon wearing this shirt at PAX:

Along the top on on the back is the Bungie logo and in small print, "Don't Make Us Kick Your Ass".
Since I bought all the Bungie shirts at PAX last year and again this year, I already have all the ones that are in the store.

1 billion... large currency.
Not that much, I guess. But the shipping is a bitch. I live on a nice, little island where if I'm ordering from the US I usually have to pay at least three sets of shipping, that sure is fantastic.
Anything in the region of $35-$45, depends upon my luck with shipping.

Bungietweets mentioned a podcast recording session a few weeks ago didn't it?
Wonder if we're getting that soon.
Nope.Zeouterlimits said:
The weekly update that week was about Marty recording dialog for Reach. At the end of the interview they referenced that tweet:
[Eds Note: The recording light is: ON. E.O.]
Pretty sure that means the tweet was about that, and not a podcast. http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_101609

Well thats ODST done. I have about 26/30 dumb rubbish audio logs and setting beacons on the map and trawling through the city by a FAQ map of where they are with no idea which ones I already got isnt my idea of a fun time.
Kinsler is the most ridiculous character in the whole story, with not an ounce of believability to him. He might as well have a curly moustache he twirls while laughing maniacally. I hate Sadie (who cares who gets killed! I need to save my dad!!) herself because she shows little to no reaction to whats going on around her. Its just an embarrassing story all around, the type a child could have written with the format [-And then they go here, And then here, but then they have to go here!!] with only the smallest bit of interest being the engineers backstory. But you have to sit through stupid two dimensional characters like KEBAB MAN, TOM THE SALES AGENT and OLD CRONE to get there. Blech.
The last few mission flashbacks with all the ODST together were fun, and really what the entire fucking game should have been. The high-concept city hub just didn't work well at all and got in the way of the actual game, seemingly just to pad it out massively. I was also thoroughly bored of fighting brutes by the end.
I feel this game should have been reviewed a whole lot harsher than it was. The brand label offered it a lot more leniency than it really should have.

MLG playlist = 10000000X better now. It's so nice to play gametypes I like EVERY time. Streamed some more today, just finished though. Got cheated again That shit happens at least once a day now. It was so nice to play the Midship variants and NOT Guardian or Lockdown. So great. Thank You!!
