Caboose beat you in posting the update DrXThirst!

Sounds great, I can't wait for the new map pack. Moonlight Sonata sounds very interesting.

Yea, but my updates are more organized, and I'm on restriction... so I'm still better.

To me it looks way too overdone. Sidewinder looks much better than this, hopefully it plays better than it looks.

Why are we posting every update now...?

So we can discuss them, that is what a forum is for.

We don't need a new thread for every update, especially in situations where nothing valuable is included. Anthony's post was of an update with many technical details worth discussing, DrXThrist's was about the new map. This one has no worthwhile news that needs its own thread. Everything to be discussed here can fit in another thread. There was a good reason for there being the official Bungie updates thread, and it was to avoid pushing independent discussions down further with discussions that already exist.

Post updates such as this here:

If the update has a worthwhile cause, it can have its own thread. This is not one of those cases. Every part of this can fit in another, existing discussion, or is simply too small to warrant its own thread. All you accomplish by posting this update is moving discussions away from their original location, causing people to follow even more threads just to keep their discussions going. It's more of a hindrance than a help to discussion of the content. Minor discussions go in the updates thread, major ones go in their existing thread first, if none exists, then you can have your own thread. This update is tiny and lackluster. It does not warrant a thread of its own.
