my body just emptied itself of all its bodily fluids
all i can say is...nice! and that i love it. And i just noticed theres a marathon logo on the bottom right corner of this webpage (im slow)
And i want that vector line mode to be an unlockable feature in it (like say...a skull?!?)
and at this point ima sell my room and my apliances (not my washer-cuz im probably gona -blam!- myself frequently) to get an HDTV, a 360 and Halo 3.
time to go change my diaper lol

They both have such dramatically different sounds, that a really efficient way to achieve that effect was to record and play back both, mixing them together at an appropriate distance and then switching fully to distant or close, depending on where you’re at.
I'm in ur updatez, lernin ur secretz.

Frankie, you should get a job writing for Poland Spring. I'm not sure what you'd be writing there, but maybe you can convince them to let you write the "Poland Water Weekly".

Sure the glass looks nice but if you shoot a sniper shot through it will it do damage or will the first shot just take the glass out. Please o please let bullets go through glass for that killer headshot with a beautiful glass affect.

They all move when you walk through em, and I was surprised to see the plants actually self-shadowing.

This caught my eye. This usually only takes place in PC games. Just seeing that this will be in the game, even though Frankie hasn't stopped talking about the graphics, tops it off for me...

Life isn't like Halo, you don't go "Boop. Boop. Beep!" and come back alive.

"And one addition to the cinematic dialog actor lineup nearly made me faint. It’s not final yet so I can’t talk about it, but if it happens, I will be ecstatic."

Why bring it up?

Cool update, if the descriptions that you give of the graphics match the product; it sounds like it will be amazing

bungie has proven that a bunch of monkeys sitting in front of keyboards can randomly type out a masterpiece. the thing is, when you go to play the masterpiece, you cant help but notice all the monkey s**t smeared all over it.

it gets real old having to wait months for someone like mlg to clean off all the monkey poo.

Now that is what i call an update. nice tidbits about the plants moving, water being affected by outside forces, and weapon spawns, and the background noises being put into place. hooray.

(10:19:49 PM) Scruss: oh and pezza, i saw what you did to that cat
(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

Awesome update, this is the kinda' stuff I love to hear about.

This is what you call a good update?!? Crackdown was released on tuesday and Bungie hasn't even aknowlaged it! Where is the release date, where is the update letting us know that the beta is comming soon. This update is full of Bull. There is nothing in this update that even mentions the beta or Crackdown. Lets just slide past that subject and bring no attention to it, being there are thousands of people waiting for a release date or some kind of update about it.

Oh but we have the Halo 3 beta fact, which has information that has been known for weeks months even. This update is bull-blam!-!

You sir, are an ass :)
