Halo 3 map talk and a Halloween surprise

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.

Bungie talks Halo 3 EXP boosting

Snuggled securely within' this week's Bungie Weekly Update is talk about Halo 3 rank, EXP and the bad guys who boost. Bungie's stance on the issue is that cheating to inflate ones rank (the number you see in a ranked playlist) is unacceptable no matter what, because that involves other players and matchmaking. But EXP boosting (your military rank) isn't all that monitored and can technically be inflated since it has no barring on matchmaking and is only representative of how much Halo 3 you play. Though, there is no guarantee that EXP boosters won't be publicly mocked. Just don't cheat, don't boost and play the game to have fun and you won't have Bungie's mighty Banhammer smacked upon your face. Playing fair kids, we all learned that in Kindergarten.
