I'm here to tell everyone about an event being organized on xbox live. on september 25 many people are planing on not playing halo 3 in protest of bungie fixing the glitch that causes players to hold their guns slightly lower. You can see this glitch in many popular machinimas like Red vs Blue who use it to make their videos look more professional. the glitch dos'nt effect online gameplay or give anyone an unfair advantage, so please support their cause. you can learn more at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gn71DIfglmA

you do know. that while your 'protesting' because a game company is fixing a glitch in their game which being an FPS you CANNOT EVEN SEE! by not playing a substandard videogame for a whole day. you could be out protesting about the rainforest, human rights, carbon emissions, illegal wars..but no..your protesting about an aesthetic in a video game, well done you are a model for humanity.

how will this affect RvB in anyway? they could oh I don't know not download the patch? bungie gives them special editing tools for the game these days anyway from what I understand since they got a shit load of publicity from the series.

Yes, and I bet you are a model for us all, please take the name calling elsewhere

[Citation needed]I don't think they are even removing it.
1)It isn't a glitch.
2)Bungie put it in especially for machinima themselves.
3)They support the machinima community and know that removing the feature would be a bullet in the foot.

Eh... Why protest if it's not breaking the game in any way?

Because when you use it, your character looks like this, with the gun lowered. It makes machinimas like Red vs Blue look better than if they had their guns pointing at they person they were trying to speak to in the film.

I didn't notice any name calling there, and they have a valid point- this is a profoundly stupid thing to get worked up about, compared to all the social injustices, and so on, in the world today.

You're not playing Halo 3 for a WHOLE DAY!? Wow... think of the money they'll lose... oh, wait. They won't lose a cent. Really, you're just giving them a day off of having to make sure the servers don't go boom.

They're getting their panties in knots because this makes their fan-movies look dumb.

Ummm. Who cares? Protesting one little tiny thing, IN A VIDEO GAME, is a waste of time and shows just how good you are at wasting time and making yourself look like a fool.
This "protest" is beyond retarded, and won't gain anything. You plan on protesting for what, 1 day? Oh my, they'll lose so much imaginary money. Yeah, whatever, go ahead, give them a field day while they fix and test this new patch. Great, you accomplished nothing.

Just to clarify: You're trying to get a few people to protest over a change that probably isn't going to happen, in a way that won't affect the people the protest is directed at?

This, in a nutshell, summarizes this stupid protest. Looks like somebody needs a "Protesting 101". HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'll join you protest.

I'll dedicate my gaming life not playing Halo 3 on 25th September, or any day before or after that soon to be historic date.

Bungie will rue the day they crossed us. We'll choke their inboxes with the corpses of our dead & drown their servers with our blood!

Enjoy you're T-bagging tonight, for tomorrow we T-bag in Hell!

VIVA LA REVOLUTION!

Jeez, this "protest" is right up there with the "Diablo III art design not gritty enough!" petition/protest thing.

I agree, it is a stupid protest and using an energy sword with no ammo works just as well as a lowered gun

This is an interesting post. Polite man and arsehole in juxtaposition. No offense.

I don't think they've removed that ability. If they have, then they'll put it back in soon enough. End thread, go back to sleep.
