For the love of god and everyhing that is holy, will the stupid children that keep complaining about how the update wasn't good, shut up. you kids are so spoiled. they don't even have to give us any type of update. if you think it's so bad, then go complain to somebody who will listen to you, like your mom. nobody wants to hear how much you want your beta version. for all those who aren't getting beta, i feel for you. oh and the children who don't complain about every update, may god have mercy on your soul.

P.S. -
the update is awsome, The thought of having huge maps with almost unlimited range if freakin sweet. and the fact that the computer is even thinking about particles and other A.I. is sweet.

Idea: At some point during the campaign you walk off into some little side crevice and a thousand seagulls rush out at you and fly away. It'd be funny and fun to see how many you could shoot.

I just wanted to say I am just as excited about the water in Halo 3 as you are!. Your not the only water graphics lover out there! I am really excited for this realistic but still Halo looking graphics to come out. I am confused about something though. I know we don't necessarily know the exact time period when the Chief is going to encounter a Phantom dropping off 4 Grunts and a Brute Chieftan but, isn't that contradicting the story? The Grunts aren't on the Brutes side of the Covenant civil war. I guess they could be scared or forced to fight for them but still. Maybe you could clear that up for me? Unless that would reveal too much of the story.

There could possibly be different factions of grunts. One who stays with the Covenant, and one who are rebelling against the covenant.

Exactly - think of America's civil war, or any other civil war.
It's not simply a straight division of sides.
Since each person has a different mind, it's possible that each person chooses a different side.
The only races that almost definitely won't be split between sides are the Elites and Brutes, obviously.

"Hey! I heard you fellas taste.... just like chicken!!"

The water is making me thirsty *hick*
And the ingredient list makes me hungry!

now i hope the state of damage goes for the enemy to!

I want halo 3 now. it's no fair. anyways can you guys give an estimate as to how many legendary editions will be available for launch, Because i am pretty far back on my list and want the game right when it launches and don't want to have to wait for a couple weeks to get it.


be patient!! then you will be rewarded, you just dont want another rushed, cutted game do you?

Nobody likes me and therefore my questions go unanswered.

It's because I'm cantankerous, independently-minded and have an amazing haircut that certain people can only dream of ever sporting.

Whatever.... I don't care.... as demonstrated by the fact I spent energy typing this.

the graphics in this game are going to be better than i had ever imagined. i new these graphics were going to be the best, and certainly ahead ofthier time but i didnt realize this much detail and effort was being put into them. if even the birds are going to have distinct features and the mountains in the distance of the E3 trailer are individualy made out to make an increradable realistic look, then i cant even begin to imagine what the acctual game is going to be like.

awsome update Frankie, thanks for the new info!

  • 03.25.2007 6:40 AM PDT

if your complaining about people complaining your obviously listening to them, try to be a little more intelligent. also i thought the update was good but they should include more on the progress of the beta and how its coming. stop trying to look for a reason to blabber your incompitent so keep it to yourself.

hows about everyone stops complaining about the beta and when it is going to be released. it will come out when it comes out. its odviouse that bungie is working very hard on this game. your complaints are only getting in the way and slowing them down. if u forget about the beta it will be out in no time. my idea of this whole thing is, screw the beta, im looking forward to the actual game.

its on like donkey kong!

The AI on the opponents is more interesting too. Even a lone Grunt can be a nasty challenge. Actually, a lone Grunt is sometimes a cornered Grunt now. You’ve been warned. Really? wow Halo 3 is sounding SO amazing just cant wait to play keep it up bungie!

I was thinking of Gravemind when I read that part about a huge enemy in the distance. I know he "helped" the Arbiter and MC but he could quite possibly be the true enemy blah blah blah, I could just imagine your battling hundreds of covenant and then in the distance you see this huge mother-blam!-!

There should defiantly be some sort of precipitation in H3 it would add the realistic weather element to the game, that doesn't exist in other games. If there is weather in halo 3 and you can talk about it then please do in the next weekly post.

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.
