I respect your opinion, I'm probably just going to disagree with it.

I'm still slightly against weapons on the ground being larger than the held ones, but if it's all in the name of balance I guess I can't complain. I just feel it means that when you drop a weapon, or get killed, it looks less convincing.

how about you bungie console fanboys get your heads of your ass's and do a proper halo2 vista update

That's not the way to go about it.

Anyway, the new Bungie site looks great, can't wait to actually 'surf' it.

And to those that are saying things like "Go look on IGN for h2v news!". You do realize that Halo 3 videos get leaked all the time, then some of you still complain that there isn't enough Halo 3 information? Why don't you go nearly half a year without any Halo 3 information? Do you think you'd be very happy?
And I'd still like my question regarding the new Halo 2 maps coming over for Halo 2 Vista... I mean, after all, an email doesn't take that long to send, does it?

I wanna know what they plan to do about team kills. Because, even if you stop the voices of idiots that just dribble on there will still be those who go specifically on team killing sprees.

Also on that note, what about overdoing suicides? For example in team rockets, someone keeps killing himself the whole game which usually takes away 50 kills towards the final goal. i mean you should at least make it an auto boot if they kill themselves 4 times in a row or within a couple of kills.

I'm sure that i'm not the only person to suffer both of these kinds of players. Can you do something about it Bungie?

All things being said, I suppose I can't say this.

Think about it from a logical point of view. Bungie wants money. Bungie makes Halo 3, for which all the console fanboys pay $30 for the game and $400 for the 360. PC users buy H2V and spend $60 on the game, $300 for the new OS, and about $2000 for a computer that can run it.
LONG LIVE TEH MAWZORZ


Actually us 360 owners pay $60 for the game as well. Do some research before openining your mouth next time.

You say goodbye, and I say good riddance.

Hahahah. Nice Mister Chief. Depth of Field.... took me a while to get.

Well Enough Alone...

~"The people who play Bungie games tend to sense that there's something behind the games that's attractive to them. Then they become fans of the games. And then they become rabid fans. And then they become employees of Bungie."(Life story) -Marty

one of Halo’s key functions is the idea of long distance combat. I said it before and I'll say it again. Halo 3 will have BIG wide open maps. Atleast in sp.

Also, they said that they added splash efects for bipeds. That implies there could be things other than biped. Will we see drowning squirrels in halo 3? LOL.

I kinda agree, if its noticeably bigger then I am against it, but if its subtle enough that none of my friends would know unless I pointed it out then I am for it.

Good update, very glad to know the X button is gonna be in the beta, too bad no date on when the beta's coming.

Dam franky, 76 messages. Thats a cool thing that I am glad I don't get. lol I have to say that this weekly update was one of the most confortable once I set down and read. That mute baby is deffinitely going to come in handy. I always get this annoying voice on every game I play. I don't if any one gets this little annoying kid or if it's just me. But I can't take lessoning to that voice. Now I can mute that annoying kid. YEY! I am not even sure if it's the same kid it's just that the voice is exactly the same scary.

Haha, how intelligent of you to call him a retard.
No really. Saying that I pay 30 dollars for a 360 game outrages me. Primarily because I have a lot of games. Also, new computers typically come with the new OS, so that's -300 dollars right there. And while I know for a fact that a good decent Vista-capable computer costs much less than 2000 dollars, I'll humor you guys for now. But computers kind of have other uses. Trust me, Halo 2 for the XBOX sucked out much more money than H2V will. Because only an idiot would pay thousands of dollars for a computer for the sole purpose of Halo 2, especially since they only need to pay a few hundred (cost of XBOX + game).

Also,
DOWN WITH THE MAW!

Sorry, I had to. I mean, no opposition? That's lame. Someone has to come ruin your party, right? Also, maybe you guys should subscribe to the RSS feed for Bungie news, because in that feed, Top Stories and News Stories are equal. Then you won't have to whine about it not being a "top story." You just got more info! There's no way it's right that you should be complaining! I'm sorry, but I like Halo 3, and many people posting here are making me feel like that's a bad thing.

Also, that site looks amazing. Especially compared to this version. I never liked this layout.

Informative update, thank you. The new design looks very good and is a vast improvement over the present. Can't wait to explore!

  • 03.10.2007 2:10 PM PDT

I don't care about the water In Halo 3, I care about the water in Halo 2 Vista! And I don't want to go to IGN or Youtube or some other site to get info on H2V, I want to get it from Bungie.net! It makes it sound more official, and not like speculation.

Posted by: cheesemaster
I would be great to have more H2V info. So what if bungie isn't directly involved in it's development. Bungie wasn't wrighting the Halo Graphic Novel or Ghosts of Onyx, but they where still updating them all the time.

QFT. You could to it for H2V.

Long Live The MAW!

He is a menace who is not only guilty of billions of counts of breaking in entering, but also runs an illegal sweatshop of midgets forced to work for no pay using stolen materials to make gifts that infringe on every company and manufacturer around the globe, causing world wide economic disasters.

so you are trying to say that halo 3 graphics are going to be weak on the 360, because they want it to look like a halo game. that is a bad argument. what about the first halo 3 commercial that had stunning graphics, but still looked like halo, bungie needs to hire some time managers look at what epic created with a year less time and no i don't want gears of halo. but halo should be visually impressive and not look like crackdown, i have already preorded the legendary edition and i want my eyes to bleed and the 360 to melt from the sheer awesomeness of halo 3

Hey you saw my sig! :)
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.

360 games cost $60.

And all you guys from The Maw complaining need to stop acting like jerks.
