"Spartans never die, Tom, they just go missing in action." -Carter, NOBLE Team

"I don't care if it's God's own anti-sunnuva--blam!--machine or a giant hula hoop, we're not going to let these damn bugs take it!" - Sgt. Johnson's speech to the landing party on the UNSC Pillar of Autumn, Legendary Mode.

From playing the beta, to the Mcfarlane figures. Everything so far looks amazing. It looks like you're taking a lot of care into making Halo 3 the best game so far. I really hope it turns out to be all it can. You guys have the next Star Wars on your hands, I hope you realize that. Take good care of it.

They don't have the next Star Wars on their hands, they have the next Halo on their hands. Jeeze, get it straight. (Hint: Halo's better then Star Wars)
EDIT: Oh, and the Bungie Princess is HOT!

ZOMG Bungie Princess drives a 4Runner!!! Coincidence? I think not.


Ya i read in her bio that alot of stuff in her life is based on Halo. Like her baby was born on 3/43. Get it? 3/43...343. Though i think she meant to get a 4Runner...

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Ignorance is the true enemy of all things.

Rocking Bungie.net for over 8 years!

nice. I'm surprise how much detail there is in the Brute model.

But its sad to see (read) Alta go.

  • 07.07.2007 7:27 AM PDT

A witty signature you say ! ? well at the moment i have nothing witty that springs to mind, so sory..................nope still nothing.......

Nice update

Wishing Alta all the best in whatever she is planning to do next. It's a shame to here she is leaving sounds like she had some great times being at Bungie, and good luck to the new princess Divine Chan!
The new figures look amazing, the jackal is defiantly my favourite out of the three (the brute also looked sweet) the detail looks really exceptional, be interesting to see if the finished figures will retain the level of detail and articulation.

Cheers Frankie.

Let's mount our chairs on the wall.

Nice update. Hey, is the Blastacular map pack supposed to be free now? I just checked and it still charged $4.

I'm not complaining because if it is free it's jipping other who paid $2 a map. I just want to play some matchmaking.

"We always give those maps away for free eventually (although that may not be the case for Halo 3 maps, so don’t get used to it)."

Oh dear Bungie. You're better than that statement suggests. Fair enough you wish to make a profit from making maps, you're only human. But please don't get drawn into the idea of denying your customers the opportunity to wait 3/4 months out to recieve the maps for free.

You don't need to.

If you have put half as much effort into this game as you have suggested on your updates, then Halo3 multiplayer is going to be fantastic. (The Beta certainly suggested so anyway in my opinion.) So have faith that the money you are going to make from Map sales will be due to your customers actually wanting to play these maps as opposed to people buying your products simply hoping to keep up with their friends online who have already done so.

Call me Wolfie | My anti-drug
New Flood for life <3

We’re looking back laughing because they called us crazy, but we took that chance on that feeling, living for the moment, we were spinning in. Maybe we were a lot of things, but we weren't crazy.

Thanks for the cool stuff Bungie! :D
Happy Bungie Day!

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Another week... another weekly update...

Nice stuff... Bungie has HOTT princesses.

  • 07.07.2007 11:14 AM PDT

When will the Blastacular maps be free??

It still says I have to pay £2, thanks for the free stuff anyway!

  • 07.07.2007 11:36 AM PDT

yeah, says on mine that its still £2..... can't download...

ok, now they're $0.00, i know this also means free but when i go to download them it fails. Because i dont have a credit card on my account or because Live is taking $0.00 as not free.

  • 07.07.2007 12:29 PM PDT

I see what you mean. It'll be done soon and then I can play on the new new maps!

  • 07.07.2007 12:37 PM PDT

"Our Arrows will Blot out the sun." "Then we will fight in the shade"
This is my favorite line from 300 THAT MOVIE RULEZ ALL

OMG I love the figures there amazingly detailed and they kinda look cooler without the color anyways as always great update bungie.

OMG I just had this thought. Frankie said: What was that explosion reflecting in his visor (hint: it’s not an explosion, it’s something quite ordinary)
And I took a long look and thought hard then it hit me.

It must be a volcano!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Kilimanjaro is a dormant/extinct volcano.

Been away from the flood for so long my sig didn't fit me, eventually something witty and mildly funny will go here, til then you get this.

I would like to congratulate our Former Bungie Princess for Finishing the Virginia Mason Team Medicine Marathon At Seafair in Bellevue Washington today, of which I had the Privledge of being there but I think I missed her finish as I don't think I saw her. Anyways here are her results:

Alta Hartmann bib number: 380
age: 30
gender: F
location: Seattle, WA
overall place: 384 out of 479
division place: 21 out of 22
gender place: 145 out of 151

Alta if you read this I am saying that although you did not place first you finished which proves that you are tough as nails and have a dogged determination and is a monumentous feet that no one can deny Congrats on Finishing and you Will be missed your highness, Have fun at your big person job.

This is an awesome update but it gets me mad that this happens to me all the time. When something is one time only, ONE DAY ONLY my 360 is gone for repairs. I don't know but it would be fair that bungie could somehow let give us a code to download later for those that have their 360 gone for repairs

I know what you ppl are going to say it's not their fault my 360 died, BUT it's MICROSOFTS fault that i can't enjoy that day for myself

Want a hug?

why not? lol i don't care anymore it's only gpics and a theme thanks for the offer

  • 07.08.2007 9:48 PM PDT

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

Bungie Princess...*Cough*, Alta. I have made a poem for submission to your beauty, responsability, and tasty snacks. Thanks for all this years, as I do not doubt the Bungie Team will not ever forget you for all the fun and good times, as well as the bad and just plain strange ones.

Alta Almighty,
with your trusty rifle,
You made a whole trifle,
of the lost beer alrighty.

Oh Bungie Princess!,
to whom we respect,
with no lesserness,
we hold you respect!

From Tijuana Mamas,
to Buds and Dew,
I got nothing to say,
because nothing rhymes with this...

'Tis a farewell,
oh Bungie Princess!,
But I don't bid well,
a sad farewell.

Everyone will miss you Alta! We all love you, and we wish you good luck on the previously mentioned post-adolecent world of ours! I hold a farewell from the whole Bungie.Net to you.

[EDIT] Spelling check...d'oh!
