In ages past the hand of time
Has hindered our migration,
But it cannot slow the will of faith
In times of confrontation.
Let all those worthy walk the path
Where we shall all soon meet.
For what once was lost, now is found
And our journey is complete.

Frankie: There are certain parts of the game where large scale air battles are going on in the distance, and the most convincing way to do that is to use real craft having real battles.
Do you guys think hes talking about a bunch of Banshees and Longswords going at it in the distance, or a full fledged naval battle with UNSC and Covenant cruisers and stuff...? I would probably deficate myself to see something like that...

Ahh the weekly update... it's alwase the highlight of my... well... week. Awsome to hear about particles affecting light and all the details you guys are putting into this game. when Frankie told of a vehicle update i almost fell out of my chair (Im a Hog/ Vehicle fanatic) And he also mentiond running out of water reports and would have to start on mud or snow... (Mud possibly being a physic effected soft object insted of texture?!) awsome, just awsome.

  • 03.23.2007 8:30 PM PDT

Damn, I haven't changed this in like 4 years...

I'm impressed. Keep it up, Bungie!

All Right, I apologize if this has all ready been mentioned but I am way to busy being awesome to read all the comments; anyway did anybody else interpret "...so my suggestion is to bide your time, wait for the first Phantom, and take care of that before irritating those guys way down the hill." as potentially meaning that we may actually get to blow up Phantoms in Halo3. I've already asked 3 of my friends and 2 said that they did (this could of course be wishful thinking but none the less).

I would like to give my theory of why the sky is blue and it is called the banana theory.
This theory involves bananas, obviously. As you all know before bananas are ripe they are green, and green is made up of two colors.
These two colors are Blue and Yellow, and when bananas are ripe they turn yellow. So, where does the blue from the unripe bananas go you ask, well that is very simple. It goes into the sky and that is what makes it blue.

O. Thanks for clearing that up. Still can't wait for the Beta though and I'll check my facts before posting next time.

Actually, the internal alpha is what we had people playing for a while (they aren't anymore). The beta is quite a different thing - nobody outside of Bungie is playing it right now.

Posted by: MaxxDevil55
Hurry up on that beta though. You've had people playing it for months you need to give it to us already.

Personally, I went on the assumption that he meant to take out the occupants of the Phantom when they touched down, but I have also heard some on and off rumors about destructible Phantoms. Frankie also illuded to something along those lines in an update a few weeks back, but he was using cheats... Assuming that it is possible to take them down though, I dont think that any old Jackhammers would do it. Think...Spartan Laser.

And Griffey...if I were you, I'd go get my head checked man...

You guys are missing what's right in front of your eyes.

I can’t actually remember what it looked like in the Alpha version now.

If he doesn't remember what something looked like in the Alpha it's because he's not playing it anymore. Which means the beta is being played @ Bungie now. I mean it seems like just a few updates ago he kept saying Alpha this and Alpha that. In other words- buck up and wait a tick. It can't be long now.

Spinning a plate on a stick is impressive, but if you try to spin three at once then you'll just end up digging porcelain out of your face.

Great update.

Posted by: X7or
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...


Typo indeed, though he (Frankie) has made this same mistake twice in the last two updates. Maybe the banshees got a face-lift to fit the needs of the fat-ass brutes, like the ghosts and wraiths have been changed from the Elite model.

No Hunters on the list o' badies??


The hunters have sided with the elites (H2), so it would be unlikely that hunters are there without them.

Giant bad guy in the distance? hmmmmm....


Any ideas?

I think Bungie should announce the info on the beta and maps in a diffrent news sequence and let everyone know that they will be announcing it like that so people will stop complaining every weekly update that there isnt any info about them.

Also on a side note Im pretty sure he would of said the pistol or the assault riffle if he ment that as the 'old favorite' since we already know those are in H3.

Good Update.

I wonder what the new version of an old favorite is? I hope to find out soon.

I didn't see any mention of Hunters or Elites in that battle. I know Elites side with the humans in Halo 3 but how often do you actually get to fight with them? At the end of Halo 2 you have Hunters fighting on your side but you're playing as the Arbiter. When the Elites leave the Covenant and join the humans do the Hunters go with them or do they stay wih the Brutes and the other Covenant? Maybe they split up and some go to the humans and some stay with the Covenant. I doubt that that will happen because Hunters always travel in pairs so I think they would all stick together but I liked playing with the Hunters as my allies but it was also great to have to fight them.

In an unrelated topic is there any chance that you won't play as the Arbiter in Halo 3 or maybe he dies? Because seriously, the Master Chief could beat the crap out of the Arbiter any day and the Master Chief is cool and the Arbiter is stupid. The Master Chief has awesome armor and the Arbiter looks like a pile of crap. He's also pretty stupid for being in the Covenant in the first place.
