Bungie has their own special way of..."bending the truth". A lot.

Basically it doesn't matter what you call it it's still the same thing.

That doesn't matter. They said that they're not working on Halo 3. They didn't say that they weren't working on something that would serve the purpose of Halo 3, or the next Halo game.

The thing is that when they said that they aren't working on Halo 3, they were probably alluding to the idea that Halo 3 was codenamed something else.

A witty signature.

It looks like the stat pages are messing up, and that they were rolled back. Hovering the mouse over the stats at the bottom nav bar reveals that they're "Coming Soon" ; )

Hopefully, this error won't be there for long.



Ahahaha. I'm sorry, but the "Bungie.net users: a lot" made me chuckle. Thanks for making me scroll over that =D.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

They said they were not working on Halo 3.
Then they released the trailer which proves they were.
End of story they were lying.


In the April '06 issue? You mean... the April fools article created (made up) by GI that Bungie spent 3 months trying to clean up after?

Oh, and back on topic, like you say: http://www.bungie.net/News/Story.aspx?cid=9604

They'll be back up soon. It probably has to do with the future update, but no, it isn't the real thing yet.

"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."

Read the front page - some maintenance on the stats database is being done.

And, by the way, we didn't say "we aren't working on Halo 3". We simply said "we're not ready to talk about our next project at this time." Microsoft PR may have said "We are not working on Halo 3" - but they certainly weren't supposed to. And even if they did - that wasn't us (as in Bungie).

We may not tell the whole truth, but we don't (at least not that I know of) actually lie. You need to pay attention to the context of things you read, especially in things like Game Informer - who have a tendency to, well... be wrong.

Today's stat-update-in-progess is nothing you'll be able to notice. It just gives us a lot more CPU power and disk space to grow into in the future. No new features.

They said they were not working on Halo 3.
Then they released the trailer which proves they were.
End of story they were lying.

The only time that I recall Bungie stating that they were not working on Halo 3 was when they were working on Halo 2 and Steve Balmer misspoke and stated that they were working on Halo 2 AND 3. Bungie announced that they were not working on Halo 3 as they were still busy working on Halo 2.

At the time, they were not working on Halo 3. So their statement was not (as you say) "a lie".

After Halo 2 and until the announcement of Halo 3, they simply referred to it as "our current project". People guessed the title and subject of that project, but Bungie neither confirmed nor denied it. They simply continued to call it "our current project".

That also is not (as you say), "a lie".

I can say that you are 35 years old. You could come out and say, "Nope, I'm not that old". You are not lying, you are telling the truth.

Later, when it's your 35th birthday, I can say that you are now 35. If you confirm that it is your birthday, but say that you don't want to announce how old that you really are... that is not lying either.

You're entitled to end the story any way that you want. But I recall those times.... from my perspective, Bungie was careful, Bungie was accurate, and Bungie did not lie. When they said "we are not making Halo 3" it was the truth (because they weren't making it at that time). When they said, "we're working on something and we're not giving out it's title, yet." That isn't lying either.

end of my story.
You made a major gramatical error...you put "end of my story." It should be, "End of my story.' Is that a lie?

anyone who's played more than you has no life

anyone who's played less than you is a noob

will it affect the length of time before a game's data are purged?

Their was a time when this was under a post. Simpler times; no Halo 3 Forum and no search. Simpler times. Happy about search though.
