You know what would be nice, if you bring back 6v6 for crying out loud. :(

I bet you $20 virtual dollars that it isn't shield grenade. I'm fairly certain it was mentioned somewhere that the shield grenade isn't likely to make the retail game.

It makes no sense to me to have two buttons for grenades.

In the Halo books, it mentions that the Spartans had their eyes augmented along with many other parts of their bodies. So it would make sense that their eyes wouldn't have to adjust in the same 'human' way that ours would. This is why I feel that the the Depth of Field (DOF) feature, although nice, doesn't belong in Halo 3. Granted the post says that it doesn't obscure the player's ability to decide what he/she is seeing. However, it does say that your eyes would have to 'adjust' to the new light. It lists the example of a person coming from a dark movie theater and stepping out into the sunlight, but does it make sense that the augmented eyes of the Master Chief would have to adjust to the light in the same 'realistic' way that our eyes would?

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

The lack of info on HALO2VISTA is troubling for long time Halo PC players. Yes we PC players are now 2 for 2 on getting a port not done by Bungie Studios. The relationship (or lack thereof) between Bungie and Gearbox left much to be desired in terms of updates, cheating, etc on Halo PC. Lets hope that Bungie realizes that H2V is important as well, and works with Hired Gun to keep the game supported. Getting few updates and the attitude that you "can go search for info" tells us that Bungie is an empty shell for PC gamers, something we already dealt with with Halo PC and don't want to repeat with H2V.


LONG LIVE THE MAW

True, his eyes are augmented, but technology doesn't make you perfect and it doesn't mean there wouldn't be adjustment time. They even said it would only take about a half second. Think of it like download time.

Jub Jub Is my wittle pet on neopets! And I weed a little when I saw the new update picture. But- What is up with you guys obsessing over Multi-player? I mean, this is the FINAL game of Halo, I think the campaign should be so good I could play it 20 times over and still be amazed by that brute that jumps out, or how that slow motion rocket clip blows that thing up... Just make it cool, and LONG, long long long... Days! I want to sit there until my eyes bleed and get on the next day and still have a good 6 hours left of chronic play.

This is the Bungie Weekly Update. As Bungie is not directly developing Halo 2 for Windows Vista, we're not going to be the ones announcing much info about it... at least not in our Weekly Update. That's not to say we'll never talk about it, but rather that most of Bungie's collective attention is focused on Halo 3 (and to a lesser extent, Halo 2 maps).

I suggest you look around, I believe there have been rumblings from Hired Gun (the MGS team doing much of the work for Halo 2 Vista) about various features of the game.


There hasn't been that much info on Bungie lately, there's more about Halo 3. You could easily go back and rename many of them the "Halo 3 Weekly Update" without straying the slightest bit from truth, and nobody could tell the difference.

You aren't directly developing it, but you (Bungie) did develop the the content in which Hired Gun is editing, and you do have your name on it, and you did put it under your "Our Games" section. You've claimed it as your own. You looked into the proverbial box on the side of the street, and seeing the small, helpless, forsaken Halo 2 Vista lying in the bottom, shivering in the cold, you carefully pulled it out and took it home.

But now you've forgotten the poor little idea to make room for something else. Something new. You've essentially pawned it off on your uncle's enstranged cousin Earl. You don't care, you don't even talk about it anymore. Poor little Halo 2 Vista. You can link Ensemble Studios and the Halo RTS on your front page, but you won't even mention Halo 2 Vista. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Yes we know that your preoccupied with Halo 3. We know how much work it takes, but it takes merely seconds to have KP link to an article on the news page.

Hired Gun has written some on the features, but allot is the same as the Xbox version. Couldn't you just say how the developing is going? Please?

You guys, stop pondering what the X button does in Halo 3. Do you want to spoil it, or do you want to find out for yourself when you play the game?

Anyway, nice update! The new Bungie look is pretty cool.

Perhaps because they forgot the word "much," realized that kicking "so butt" is relatively funny, but unfortunately discovered that their backspace key does not work. So they stuck on an "LOL!" and submitted the post.

Theres one piece of information missing from the updates for several weeks now:
"The great Holywood journey"

What's going on there? is it all cold as MC's butt on lockout? are you guys scratching that project?

Please... say something about it.

P.S. would you happen to have any images of Mr. Chief double weilding flaming grunt launchers?
