FYI.. I read the entire post, comprehended the little girls crying about nothing, learned that stupidity is contagious, live it every day on these forums, and love pointing it out to people like you. : o

"Not all men are created equal... so don't F%ck with me!"

Quote: "The trusty rocket launcher now features a fiery blowback from the exhaust port, and an accompanying Spartan animation that you’ll enjoy watching (or not) in Multiplayer games. It looks cool, as hot exhausts spews out in a cloud of flame, followed by wispy smoke."

What do you think he means by "(or not)" in the above statement???..... Call me crazy , but could this be a clue??? Maybe an "animation cancel" method?? A.K.A. the "X" in "BXR". Maybe a menu option to turn off melee/weapon animations???

Maybe I'm just too analytical and he meant that some people won't enjoy the animation... but it seemed a little suspect to me. You can call me stupid now, if you want... I'm done.

Great update. Lots of bits of info on different things, am liking your work on the voice muting tool you mentioned, lowering the time taken to stop the screaming in your ear during an all out gun fight is a definate thumbs up. Welcome back Swat!

Shut up nerds!

BEST update...thanks frankie!

  • 02.10.2007 2:47 AM PDT

A witty signature you say ! ? well at the moment i have nothing witty that springs to mind, so sory..................nope still nothing.......

sweet ! cheers Frankie

really Looking foward to see how halo 3's darker story goes and what happens. the diolog must be really excellent if Jen was allmost in tears ! sounds like Bungie is going all out for the plot to have a more dramatic and emotional edge in 3 wich is the perfect way to send all good trilogies off on, This combined with Martys music is going make the most story drivin halo yet !

environments and weapon details are sounding very cool also. Keep up the good work bungie !

What do you think he means by "(or not)" in the above statement???..... Call me crazy , but could this be a clue??? Maybe an "animation cancel" method?? A.K.A. the "X" in "BXR". Maybe a menu option to turn off melee/weapon animations???


He's probably refering to that you won't enjoy it if you are the one getting shot with the rocket. And that animation is the sign that you are about to die, not a fun experience.

Better update than last week! Much better. I <3 cortana.

When I first heard about the new weapon, I thought it was a boomerang because it's bent and looks different from the other weapons.

No.

i will not be using the teenager silencer button, for i like to hear their frustrated attempts at a snappy come back when i deliver my snappy comeback/insult:

e.g:
if you were to drop that plasma pistol for more that seven minuites, would you start to experiance withdrawl simptoms. (then he gets frustrated and uses sniper(he then loses))

p.s: i like your mister chief t-shirt

Thanks, I could use more of an update than last week.

Today a young man on acid realized that we are merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are one conciousness experiencing its self subjectively. Life is but a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.
Here's Tom with the weather...

You lose points for using the word "Irregardless", however, you gained them back for the use of the term "radness."

Great update! Really looking forward to hearing that Cortana dialogue.


LOL I was thinking the exact same thing when I read this. My boss uses the word "irregardless" all the time. Oh how it annoys me so. I have to be humble and bite my tongue every time. Normally I'm not one to bash on people for incorrect grammar, but my boss is sooo egotistical and thinks that he is sooo damn smart. And he would never use the word radness... so sad.

Anyhow, good to great update, what with the wispy smoke and vegetation in a non-vegetative state.

I think he's implying that you won't enjoy watching it if you're on the recieveing end of said Rocket Launcher.
