Tasty update... Perhaps I will get a shot at some bird-blasting action. Hoorah.
Whatever happened to that little beta thing?...
Don't get me wrong, I'd like to be able to test an early build with super water effects and intelligent physics uncompromized, but I'm really excited about this beta and papa needs his medicine... :)

Hence the use of the term Weekly Update.

I think there was another typo, when Frankie said a Banshee was going to drop off four grunts and a brute chieftain. And then he says the phantom fired at you.

Hope it's corrected, because it could generate some confusion like the ghost plasma mortar :-)

And speaking about the update, I really liked the amount of foes involved in a single batle, wow...

No Hunters on the list o' badies??

  • 03.23.2007 6:13 PM PDT

So I guess that means no new H2 maps anytime soon due to the reference (none at all) to their release date (spring).

I don't... I'd rather that the awesome parts of the campaign aren't spoiled for me.

Awesome update by the way! I'm completely psyched for Halo 3.

hmm, return of an old favorite, maybe elites like, completely re-done like in halo wars all big now, more stocky and thick. i think this because there is no mention of elites in this battle, and as we all know, elites are a HUGE part of halo. if this is right, i wonder how they'll look like. dang I'm getting soo much more hyped for halo 3 as each day goes by, knowing one day closer.

this momentum game is killing me! nice update though. They gonna fix that live ID bug anytime soon? Also this character counter is killing my crappy computer :( And where are the helpful text edits (like bold, link, italics, etc?)

  • 03.23.2007 6:21 PM PDT

I can't wait to gun down a flock of seagulls, that will be da shiz! and also, that battle sounded huge! There were so many vehicles! saweet!!!

Kzhack! woot woot teabag time!

Hmm a little much info.. kinda had to skim it.. I kinda felt cheated when I went to vote on the polls and Sidewinder wasnt a selection. Am I the only one who actually thought that map was the best? Eh it dont matter most people who played halo 1 didnt have system links and yeah it was kinda hard to get a kill with just rockets and sniper across the map since we were all uber-noob-screen lookers. (system linking doesnt matter when you have 4 on each tv)

Expecting a major announcement like that in a weekly article meant to talk about what's going on at Bungie is, quite frankly, stupid.


Responses like that are made in China at the rate of 12 seconds each at a very low cost of labor.
Young rabid kids might be annoying, but they are still excited for H3... and to pay for H3.

Anyway... although I enjoy reading these updates, they have been a bit tautological.

...a Banshee is going to drop off four Grunts and a Brute Chieftain.

Um, don't you mean Phantom? Nice update Frankie.

I still cant get over the fact you can look at so much detail in the stats.. I feel real retarded knowing I've played that much halo. Ohh well guess its fair all my spare time was playing halo and riding my bike pretty much.. from 16-18years old work, school, work, school, halo,halo,halo,halo,school for halo lol.. i hate my kill ratio ahhhh I hate cheating ruins my ownage..

  • 03.23.2007 6:29 PM PDT

Wow A lot of people are mad and want the beta. If you honestly can't wait, yelling at Bungie isn't going to want to make it come out any faster or give you a release date anytime soon. I'm sure it gets to people having Frankie be like "ITS SO AMAZING" in weekly updates with nothing being shown. I love it but its so badly teasing! Its going to be worth it, just settle down and wait it out. Be lucky that there is even a Beta of Halo 3, How many Game developers (Besides a few PC game developers) allow you to play a beta of the game months before it comes out?

I love hearing about all the little details in updates, just hopefully it is just something without words for. Also I want to run around on FIRE!! (Hence the top story image)

"I react like an animal and tear you apart.'

"I don't play but I'm a player til the mother -blam!- end!"

I think frank is over hyping these graphics. Like he makes them sound so real w/ all the detail he goes into but I don't think this game is going to have the best graphics out there and no game I've seen has looked as good as this sounds. I hope they're really this good but I doubt it. I notice sometimes he says we're making it look really good but it still has that "halo" look to it. I think he's kind of using that as a disclaimer so when everyone gets the game and are like "frank WTF? these aren't as good as you described." he'll just be like we were trying to keep that "halo" look and feel to it. I think I I know what he means by that and I'd rather just have it look flat out real than a shinier more detailed version of the first two games. And the other thing is if they're actually texturing the huge enviorments beyond the level is that just kinding inviting people to get out of the maps? that's how I see it but if it makes the game look better than w/e. I'm glad they're taking their time w/ this game and not rushing it at all so they have plenty of time to get everything in and don't have to leave anything out or do a half ass job. I wouldn't mind if they pushed backed the release date even more though I doubt that and thats why I don't mind that Gears of War 2 might not be out til 2009. It's all about hype and making a game good so w/e. Hurry up on that beta though. You've had people playing it for months you need to give it to us already.

2-0 now? Hmmm, Frankie is really taking a beating from Ske7ch.

Perhaps you're using some cheap way to win? =P
