In last night's newly released Bungie Weekly Update, the Bungie clan talks about VGA, banhammers, melees, maps and Halloween surprises. We're going to talk about the last two subjects, so if vga, banhammers or melees tickle your fancy then make the jump, because you're not getting anything from us.Progress on the upcoming Halo 3 multiplayer map DLC is moving along swimmingly and are being developed in logical order focusing on filling current multiplayer map voids. All the new maps are in the testing phase and Frankie also mentions that "two of them in particular will cause a Three Mile Island scale pant-fill-disaster in the Halo community". We're not sure what that means, but we think we like it. Bungie also confirmed that they have a super secretly exciting Halo 3 Halloween surprise planned for next Wednesday. Details are scant right now, but we do know that their spooktacular surprise will last 27 hours around Halloween and relates to matchmaking. Our guess, expect a social or ranked matchmaking playlist featuring nothing but Infection. Oh, and maybe a special Halloween medal too.
The Weekly Update is chalk full of tidbits, news and Halo 3 details this week. Run (don't walk) over to Bungie.net and get your read on, you'll be happy you did.

The Three Mile Island reference is essentially saying it "will scare the shit out of us", for lack of better terms.

When are they going to address the issue of our screenshots not making it to our file share. And I'm not talking a delay, I'm talking never.

Maybe when that issue actually exists. I have 24 file share slots and my screen shots always save and always upload.

It must only exist for you and a select few.
You sound just like one of those whiney little bitches on XBL whose balls haven't dropped yet. How about showing a little gratitude for what they're doing for us on Halloween.
Sheez, posters like you really piss me off.

I love Halo, I've been playing since Halo 1, but personally, if this map pack isn't free, I wont be getting it, if I could I would "unbuy" the game as well, heres hoping they don't ream the very customers that allowed Bungie to catch the heels of GOW's sales numbers in less than a week.
