Considering how pressed for time Frankie was, he really pulled through with a decent update. I really want to see how things will improve from the beta to the final copy. I won’t be playing the beta, but from merely reading Frankie’s writing style in that context; I tend to believe a vast improvement will be seen overall. Unless we’re all just being led on. On as scale from 1 to I kick @$$ I pwned all the presentations. First place goes to the light man, it feels good to talk down to paper pushers ;).

I like the sound of the Beta FAQ.


made me feel like i did in 5th grade when they were telling us about our camping trip.

loupis.net

reminds me of the 3rd grade when they told us about the plans for our new playground.

(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

Podcast 77? Coincidence? I THINK NOT.

Do not even waste your time calling Xbox Support, I spent a good 40 minutes talking to them today and it was waste. All they told me was a load of crap, like "Shut your modem and Xbox down for 5 minutes and then try it three times before calling me again" or "you don't have a Gold account" it was stupid, do not waste your time with them they are useless.

maybe I'm the only person to notice, but Frankie basically flat out said there will be AI bots in multiplayer.


Do you mean this?
"we will actually have a solution for that kind of problem built right into the game."

My god...

Did you guys listen to that OXM podcast? I feel so bad for anyone who works at Bungie. Either Franke is truly not as cool as I once imagined him to be, or he, and the rest of the fine folks at Bungie are tired out of their minds, and bogged down way too much. We are lucky that we even get this much information every week. Thanks for taking your time to give us some info on what is going on. I appreciate it.

However, there IS something I would like to know. It is rather obscure and most people will not know what I am talking about, but I consider it the one thing I want to know, that I think you might actually give me some info on. I ask, is it possible that you can tell me this; are there any plans in the future to release Follow ( 1st Movement of the Odyssey ) - Incubus and Blow Me Away - Breaking Benjamin

These were great songs from Halo 2, and I would really like to at least be able to obtain them in their true Halo form.

P.S. - Marty's stuff was already in perfect form, and some added things that were kind of cool too.

Can't wait for the Beta, add thanks for all the hard work.

BT THE LIGHT OF THE MOON, POOF!

Warthog Bumper Sticker Quotes:
"My driver is underaged, a menace to society, and I have no RB to eject!"

"I know what your thinking, and no I dont use Viagra."

"Bigger, IS Better."

"I have no mirrors on this baby because if i did, i would crash from looking at my sexy-self too much."

"This bumber sticker is a sorry excuse for you to look at my tailpipe."

Just downloaded the maps today, and very pleased with them, and very fun i might add. Update was short but held information i'd been wanting, whether or not it was important or not, now i know that we will have FAQ's and such, unlike other betas ive played where all they do is throw you into a pit to get massacred by players who have already spent half there lives on it. Good update, thanks frankie.

"lucky one"

Weak update, but it is to be expected. These last weeks have been amazing. Now we are just back to normal.

I dont think thats even possable since that would require them to tailor in a whole new weapon onto an existing game...which bungie already said isnt possable with halo2 since it lacks the hooks to change the important stuff like AI or New Weapons. I dont have an exact quote but I do remember them saying that somewhere when they talked about the first map pack and there was speculation about new weapons and more campain.

People put in a handheld Gauss turret and Needler shotgun. They also brought back the AR (removing the SMG), brought back the single shot BR from E3, and the M6D as a 4SK

400 People in the beta? It'll be an all time record! :)

And personally, I don't need an FAQ on the control scheme thank you Frankie. I've been training my mind in Halo 3 control scheme for months. I now feel confident enough that i can swap to my secondary weapon with only 1 button press! Wonga!
