I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Good update this week good to see news on the 3 Editions for Halo but I am disappointed that the Legendary Edition wont come with the Collectible Metal Case :( but other than that there is a lot of good info in this weeks Weekly Update.

Ok guys, now we're all supposed to give Frankie a huge "*SIGH*" and feel sorry that he can't sail the luxury liner that we will be sailing upon September 25th.

Great update; now that we are getting down to it, there is actually something important to say in almost every update! Interesting allusions to grunts and marines specifically: Frankie mentioned the marines taking care of the grunts, which could mean that the Human/Elite/Hunter/Grunt alliance might still be in affect. I'm glad to hear such cool new stuff, and especially glad to hear how much everyone at Bungie is loving the final/finalized project, but I still have to drop a tear for the end of the beta. It is kind of sad now that Frankie mentioned it, I guess I have to satiate my hunger for kills in Gears until September!

Thanks Frankie. Looking forward to September. And I'm sure you can understand how happy it makes me to know how easy it will be now to mute players online.

I'm getting legendary. Because I myself am legendary. But not as legendary as Master Chief, of course.

Good update.

Nice info about Legendary Edition. That thing is legendary. I already pre-ordered it, and hope I'll get it.

So, Elites in multiplayer confirmed (?). Custom armor info soon? Nice. I hope there will be an Arbiter armor, but I still doubt.

Campaign sounds huge. Gigantic. We'll see in September.

That Halo - Forza 2- car was absolutely fantastic, too.

So, what to say? Halo sounds bigger, better and more interesting than ever.

At first I thought it was stupid to do that to a car. I mean, if you are going to pay so much money for a custom, why not have it be better than that? Then I realized it wasn't real. How about making it so we can put pics and decals on our great new customizable armor? lolz j/k

Assuming for a minute that I don't want the unwieldy Spartan helmet, and can borrow the Legendary edition's standalone DVD from a friend... the Legendary edition doesn't come with a printed art book, but the Collector's edition does? Having an "extended" version of the art book on digital media is fine, but it won't come close to having it in rich color in your hands.

Somebody please correct me; I'm disappointed right now.

edit: i'm an illiterate dumbass with no friends.

^^^^^^^^^ i was disapointed too. unfortunately, i don't think we're getting the book. the storyboards will be nice though.

vvvvvvvvv who says that they're running out of room or that they had to shorten the campaign, or wanted to make it bigger ect?

They could make Halo 3 have a BIGGER campaign if they put the campaign on one disk and the multiplayer on another disk, then you wouldn't have to change disks for different levels, only time you have to change is to play multiplayer,

The cut scenes are still on the legendary edition, it says so in this weekly update, next time read the whole thing

A hero need not speak. When he is gone the world will speak for him.


I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and im all out of bubble gum!

Ok one thing troubles me about the update... it was great but one paragraph said that each dif design for your spartan has a backstory and charactirestecs... something like that but does that mean some will be better than others??? as in stronger, faster, slower . ect./...

cus if so i dont know if i like that

i'm pretty sure i read somewhere that they were purely cosmetic changes, although it doesn't outright say it in the update

"Rules build up fortifications behind which small minds create satrapies. A perilous state of affairs in the best of times, disastrous during crises."

The Collector’s edition includes a bound “art book” called the Bestiarum – a guide to the species and civilizations of the Halo Universe. Legendary Edition purchasers get an expanded multimedia version of the same material, with far more art and illustration, most of which has never been seen before and won’t appear anywhere else. And that’s built into the DVD Bonus Disc along with other materials.

I think you guys are really going the the wrong way with the art. I realize that you want to give buyers of the Legendary edition more content, but you've castrated it by keeping all that art in a digital form on a disc. [Most likely with some content protection on it, even!] If there's anything I believe you should rethink here, it's not having a hardcopy book for the legendary art. I imagine you don't have the resources to put two art books with mostly the same material out, but if any copy should have the non-digital version, it ought to be the Legendary edition, not the Collectors.

As it is now, I'm not at all interested in the Legendary edition: All that digital stuff [Even assuming there's protection on the disc] will eventually make its way onto the internet where it can be had for free, so there's no real incentive there. However, with the Collectors edition, you get an art book that you can hold in your hands. That's far more valuable to me than a gimmicky chief statue/helmet or an extra two DVD's. Especially considering I only ever looked at the extra DVD from Halo 2 a couple of times.

So those of us who spend $130 don't get the book. This is a really pathetic way to get people to buy 2 copies of the game.

Like when somebody says that there car with a bunch of dents has character, it matches your personality, something like that, you know characteristics,
I dont understand myself, but that should help a little
