redman Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 they promised the same in halo 3 but playing new maps in a playlist when they weren't mandatory was rare... so i'm sceptical Link to post Share on other sites
Harsin Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I'd love to play the new Invasion map in that game-mode, but it doesn't appear to come up in the DLC playlist and if you go into the Invasion playlist you;re dependent on it matching you up with 11 other people who have downloaded it (which I gave up trying after numerous attempts).

tnman Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Same. I wanted to play some Invasion on Breakpoint to try and get the achievement but the playlist was having none of it. Link to post Share on other sites
angel Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Just got "slice and dice" medal for getting all 10 kills off a plasma sword without dying. Exciting. Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 These new maps are excellent, well worth the 800 points and they are much more fun for the larger team games Also one bomb is back, and is still amazing. Tempest in particular is lovely if like me you enjoy driving the warthog. Link to post Share on other sites
angel Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I could go on holiday to tempest, love the rivers, beach and waterfalls. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Bungie Weekly Update: http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=30003 BOOM! It's not all fun and games. There’s chum in the water and the oily slick of gore and guts has led the Banhammer straight to a school of boosters, idlers, and service tag modifiers. If you’re a practitioner of the art of not playing, or of any of the other undesirable behaviors listed in the preceding sentence, you’re soon to find your account in a significantly downgraded status, ranging from a credit suspension to an outright ban. We’re keeping the exact metrics for the imposition of these new penalties under wraps, but as always, we’ve ensured accuracy via extensive due diligence. Though, what about quitters?

Kayin Amoh Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Though, what about quitters? They have stormtroopers burst into their house and mow them down with machine gun fire. Link to post Share on other sites
angel Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 They have stormtroopers burst into their house and mow them down with machine gun fire. They'd just unplug their router, 30 seconds later the stormtroopers would be dead somehow. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Easy Weekly Challenge this week; did that and the Co-op challenge in 15mins. What's the shortest/easiest Campaign mission? I really can't remember. Link to post Share on other sites
Dunx Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 The first one Winter Contingency I did in under 15min. You can skip all of the story bit at the beginning by sprinting through to the location of the first encounter. Then when you get the truck to do some recon just drive straight to where the marines are based, skipping the other encounters. Get them evacuated then straight into the chopper for a lift to the courtyard shootout (possibly the longest fight of the whole 15min), then inside. Don't worry about your shields post courtyard encounter as there is a small cutscene after that where your shields are recharged. All encounters have plenty of grunts to melee to keep them topped up anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

ICECOLD Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 A bit of help for anyone struggling with the Heroic+Blackeye in 30mins Weekly... How to finish Nightfall in five minutes. Did this myself last night but died a couple of times. Gonna go back to it on Legendary and play until I get one flawless run for the 'don't die on Legendary' Avatar Award.

angel Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Playlist update Bungie - The MLG playlist is live, and Breakpoint Invasion should now be a much more regular occurrence in the Noble Map Pack playlist. Check out Bungie.net on your mobile device to get access to some sweet web features on the fly. Also, we love you. Im on 975,000 cR and about an hour away from affording the pestilence armour effect (after wasting about 500k on junk). Is it wrong to be a little excited? Link to post Share on other sites

You need to buy the Chest Armour 'COLLAR BREACHER' or something vaguely like that. And then you get the option to purchase a skinny robotic arm (and as pointed out by angel, you have to be Lt.
