No, it seems you've forgot.

I am the mullet man, I may be a super hero, but I don't do so well in Halo 2 :(

Seems the BR is appearing in more and more things that take place before Halo 1. Hmmm...

since when did the BR exist in 2524, if i remember correct in First Strike, Fred, Kelly, and the other Spartans on Reach retrieve newly developed weapons ordances per orders of Dr. Hasely...feel free to correct me if im wrong.. but im pretty sure thats how it goes...

An interesting update. The Saved Films feature sounds like a blast for Campaign! Also, the cover art for "Contact Harvest" is lookin' good.

Well, the book could flip around in time.

Or the gun could just be a different model. Perhaps with a longer barrel?

Here, go to this website and get your Halo clips recorded in HD for free.

Don't feed the monkey!!!!

Everything is sounding good. I can't wait to see how the AI is this time around though. I hope you don't have them doing stupid crap such as jumping on top of boxes like in Halo 2. Hopefully the AI is more like Halo CE but better. Halo CE still has the best AI of ANY game I've ever played.

Bungie.net feeds Halo fans with such cool news, content, downloads etc... than most other studios. And some still complain...
I thinks it's hella cool that fans get regular updates about the project :) Thanks Luke & Frankie!

That was a lackluster update. I know you guys treated us with some good single player screen shots and that nice trailer, but the update today was wack. Nothing really exiciting. Everything he talked about we got from other sources.................

A few things:

1. 20 gig HD???
2. Black Controller?!?!?!

I hope this is merely a few typos. (especially the second one)

Yes first post!!!!! I love you bungie!111!!1

Prepare for a black list ;)

God update, i will be getting the H3 360 when/if it is released in euro :)


What he got was BETTER than a blacklist (replacement FTW).

Aw man, I don't want to wait 9 months for it! :P

-Blahoo


Heh, but that time we'll all have beaten Halo 3.

Dam...it's so close. I still remember when it was going to be first announced at E3...seems as if it was yesterday. I peed a little when I saw the announcement trailer, and haven't washed those pants since. I'm putting them on ebay.



Anyway, nice update as always. I love the teases without actually telling anything. Can you at least release a video of the part of Sierra 117 you played, Bungie? If not for anything than to watch Frankie repeatedly die.

Seriously when the hell does the rest of the world get to see this demo? Why is the press so special?

We get to see stuff about it... August 7th I believe (the Article in the September issue of EGM). I dunno if Bungie will release the vid earlier though. Hope they do.

"Paradox is a pointer telling you to look beyond it. If paradoxes bother you, that betrays your deep desire for absolutes. The relativist treats a paradox merely as interesting, perhaps amusing, or even, dreadful thought, educational." - Leto II

I liked Shrine better as a map name.

Great update.

MORE COWBELL!

Ya the BR part is interesting. In the original Halo Wars trailer, the BR was included, and then subsequently taken out due to the fact that it hadn't been developed yet. That game takes place 20 years before the events of Halo/Halo 2/Halo 3. This novel takes place 30 years before, so it can't possibly be in there. Johnson will be holding an MA5B when the book comes out, guaranteed.

  • 07.13.2007 9:48 PM PDT

lol

I want to see johnson as a "young staff sarg". lol.

Well maybe the BR Johnson is holding an earlier model then the current issued BR's
And Maybe being up aginst the Covenant with their fancy Sheilds, needed something with raw power
To dispatch the Covenant forces instead of Accurate aim, which wont get you anywhere, unless they are Sabot rounds

The BR55 is more inclined for middle range, where the MA5B just didnt reach
But the MA5B has much more power, the clip is almost twice as big,
If you played Halo:CE even in Heroic the Elites would ream from the force of the MA5B
Maybe the BR55 was designed for use against counterpart humans
And the MA5B just for the covenant?
And in Halo 3 the MA5C has now the best of both worlds,
Thats my theory

MA5B was a great weapon if used properly
And Discarding Sabot Rounds are found in the Sniper RIfle I believe

Either way I can't wait for the book

In response to the contents of the "Mongoose:" I've checked Xbox.com and they state that the Halo 3 360 includes a wired headset and say nothing of the wireless headset mentioned in Bungie's "official" list of contents. Who's telling the truth?

while the "halo 3" 360 looks BICHIN SWEET..I absolutely HATE how Microsoft is MILKING it though..why couldn't it have been a SKIN for the 360 and just offered those exlcusive gamer pics & theme as new content down the line? damn them..
