Everyone! Everyone cares about the particles, the game is at the base a giant collection of different colored particle, therefore the more particles the more realistic, and he is talking about functional particles! Ones that have a purpose and change light, texture, and color because of perspective. If that doesn't matter than they should just make Halo 2 bigger and be done with it.
sorry to get so serious...

The Gravemind "helped" the Arbiter and the Chief in the context that the Gravemind doesn't want Halo to be activated any more than the humans do, but Gravemind actually used the Chief as a diversion so the flood could take control of In Amber Clad and get to High Charity.


And where do you supode the flood and the gravemind are now...... It starts with an "E"

Sweet update. Sounds like the final is gonna be uber-ballin.

Oh, and sorry to be the nerdy, no-friends, teacher-correcter guy, but Frankie, its gasses, not gases.

FYI it can be either "gases" or "gasses," but "gases" is more accepted.

Also, I'd love to hear about weather. I know they're already made, but I'd love a multiplayer map where it's pouring rain and there's chain lightning all over the sky. Actually, I think that would've been a cool effect on Ascension.
But regardless, that'd be an awesome map if there was a thunderstorm.

My apologies.Back on point I think your suggestions on weather are great and would really add that extra layer of atmosphere in campaign and multiplayer,fingers crossed on details.

This is pretty cool but i would like to hear just a little bit of news on actual game play once in a while. i know the graphics and depth of field and focusing and that -blam!- are an important part but i wanna hear something about guns or chief's armor or mp character customization ( about i hope you can choose the campaign honour guard armor for your elite) that stuff looks sweet. Anyway i liked the mister chief(s)

I just want everyone to know my favorite weapon is the Spike Rifle and if you ever play me in h3 I'll own you with it

Pain:- The bodys way of telling you that you're not dead yet.

It would be cool to see high charity into the sky, ingame rather than a cut scene of its introduction. Would just give the feeling of fear because of knowing whats on there. Kind of awe-inspiring if i say.

If there's one thing I have learned in working with you, it's that there is always margin for error.

My personal guess is that the "easter egg" mentioned in the article will probably be something along the lines of Halo 2's Scarab Gun. Anyone else think so?

Great update. You keep us in the dark just long enough to hear us scream then you feed us a little bit to shut us up. i look forward to the updates every week. keep it up Bungie, take as long as you want with the game. I know you guys will do an incredable job.

Highly dought.
The people doing this easter egg are AI programers, not weapon designers. Plus Frankie said they have been working very hard in making it.. the scarb gun hardly required any work.. just switch a few tags around.

It’s fun to watch the look of concentration on an artist’s face as he puts the finishing touches to a gleaming, stainless steel toilet.


Eww, define "putting finishing touches to."
