No no no no no

There's a big difference between something like a Blizzcon and a Halocon. At Blizzcon they show off multiple titles from different universes. They a Diablo, Warcraft, Starcraft, and WoW in some form at almost all of them. Same with Quakecon. A Halo con would be the epitome of milking out a franchise. Imagine if Activision & Blizzard decided to hold a Diablocon where they had 3 different Diablos in the work at the same time. Ugh

Now I would definitely not mind a Bungiecon though they probably aren't big enough yet.

I would fly to a BungieCon anywhere.

Next week, I will tell you all about AU2. The only thing I’ll give you to chew on until then is that the Battle Rifle will NOT be changed.

hmmm...

And that Purple Reign drawing is incomprehensible.

Zomg

So uh... Luke, comparison image with the real version? You know, just so we can see how good your drawing is...

 

[Striker]

So this game called Halo 3, I hear it's fun to play...

I agree. Let's stop talking about crayons and holding hands on the car ride.

BTW, if you need a trio to play with, feel free to join ours whenever you want. We can play Slayer, MLG, Objective, Snipers, SWAT, whatever. Always great to have a fourth guy we know and isn't an asshole.

EDIT:

Decent Weekly Update.

Good news about the upcoming AU2 and not changing the Battle Rifle.

 

[Blueblur1]

Major changes = AU2?

 

[Kibbles]

Also, BungieCon in Milwaukee plz

 

[DancingJesus]

Where is team snipers playlist?! *smashes head.

 

[soldat7]

hmmm...

And that Purple Reign drawing is incomprehensible.

Maybe something along the lines of 'Cortana' but with more Covenant and less Flood in the design?

“It can’t be that hard, just ctrl-C and then open up H3 and press ctrl-v and then ship it.”

Such an awesome reply.. :lol
Many people (even around here) seem to think that game development works like that..
That online modes are just a "switch" that they put under "the Options tab"..that porting is just another option under "the File menu" (File > Port to...> Wii, PS2, Xbox 360, PS3)... :lol

 

[Ajemsuhgao]

Just got done playing Team Fortress 2, in a server that I play so much, I'm pretty much an admin.

Some random guy joins, and starts spraying a spray that has a picture of John McCain with devil horns, and says "McCain is the Anti-Christ!"

So, just to annoy the guy, and get a good laugh, I spray my Superintendent spray over it, with the caption "KEEP IT CLEAN!"

Every time I did, he'd move his spray. I'd find it while playing and spray over it again. Finally, he got really annoyed and started spraying it in awkward places(high up on walls, on the ceiling, etc.). And of course I'd go out of my way to spray the super over it.

He ended up getting pissed off, cussed me out, then left the server. :lol

Sweet, thanks.

No joke.

I don’t remember if it was here at Bungie.net or at another forum on the Internet, but yes, the full power of the Banhammer sends users to Banadu. Kudos to the Internet genius who invented it.

Haha, that was someone from here.

 

[Sibylus]

Ascension/Sandtrap crossover!

Spoiler

Not really, but some parts kind of remind me of the two

 

[TDG]

Thanks for putting up the BWU early, Bungie people. Purple Reign is looking very sketchy.

Banadu :lol :lol :lol

Personally, I don't think a Bungie pet should be named Marty unless it belongs to Marty, or has great hair. We'll need pics to decide.

Banadu :lol :lol :lol

Wasn't that from someone here?

Buttonbasher made the Banadu 'shop, no?

Yep, those two images look like the same map.

Uncanny.

Wow, you can even make out the little "beads" running down the side of the structures in both.

Now Luke most draw the other new maps, and then we're good.

He asked if there could be a HaloCon and I said yes, there could be. That's very different than will be. Also, a hot Leia walked by during the interview. I mean, REALLY hot.

 

[Diablohead]

I think every game i've played tonight has been veto'd, too many people veto a slayer match on a good map for oddball or swords, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Also I got a live message from someone asking if anyone wants to exp boost on the weekend games giving off how he wants help, should I screenshot it from xbox.com for bungie?

Oh, man. I'd like to drop my Mandalorian Bounty Hunter into her Great Pit of Carcoon, if you know what I mean.

Are we gonna see you at PAX, good sir?

 

[MIMIC]

I can get stuck around corners! Look at the stick grenade's trajectory (by its smoke)

"Holy crap! He's trying to stick me! Let me hide behind this wall to avoid being stuck"

Yup. That's me. Being stuck behind a God damn wall.


The match was already going down the shitter so I filed a complaint of cheating. This kind of bullshit is what makes me fucking hate this game.

It's called lag.

All of the bars were green and there was no glitchy, jumpy movement. There was no lag.

This is why I only play social now as it's much less stress, unless some friends want to play ranked (plus I lack the 2nd map pack)

Last time I posted a shot around a corner people said it was host issues. I still think Halo likes to give people random kills so epic moments are created. Kinda like how after a triple in grif it seems to get easier and easier to climb up towards that killionaire but the first kills are always tougher. Same with SWAT.

 

[Papercuts]

All of the bars were green and there was no glitchy, jumpy movement. There was no lag.

I had the opposite of that happen to me. I threw a sticky at someone, it stuck(I rechecked, it was right on his arm), then when it blew up the explosion happened behind him as if I missed.

:lol Exact same thing happened to ME

I got stuck. And I just stood there because I was so pissed that someone stuck me. So I just waited to die. And then, I come to find out that I somehow became UNSTUCK and it blew up behind me. I watched it in the theater and my opponent did indeed stick me.

Maybe that was you :lol

Two weeks ago:

Major changes to the Halo 3 Online experience

This week:

Next week, I will tell you all about AU2.



Also, Luke's skills are increasing:

Though oddly enough, the blurred version looks better.

So maybe he drew it while under the influence of "adult beverages"?

 

[Blueblur1]

Luke draws better when drunk confirmed. (I was channeling Garnett Lee there just for Luke.)

 

[Revengeance]

Someone with photoshop skills should clean up or rework Luke's masterpiece so that we can get a better understanding of the geometry.

Again, that's just lag.

Sucks, but there it is. It's called client prediction (or dead reckoning). Your game thought you stuck TJ Ramirez with a grenade, but he must have been in a slightly different position when you threw.

http://www.gamevee.com/viewVideo/Halo_3/GeeVee/Another_magical_disappearing_nade/318176

That's exactly what happened to me before, the nade vanished off of his body and blew up elsewhere.

Oh lag, you double-edged sword.
