Let's mount our chairs on the wall.

Not a bad update, not a great one either.

W/e, not complaining. However, I really want to kick some elite @$$, whether I get to or not, I still want to by the end.

Though those brutes sound more and more fun with each update.

  • 07.28.2007 3:21 PM PDT

Never Lucky, Just incredibly good.

Before the Et tu Brute Vidoc, I had always wondered if the game would be the same knowing that the Elites won't be our main opponents.. but I think as of now, we can put almost all those worries to rest.

Must have splazor guns! But that means I have to actually go into a Hot Topic... ugh. Any chance getting GameStop to carry these things?



Naw... Hot Topic is ok. It has an extreme emo/goth atmosphere from the outside, but inside it's cool. they sell halo shirts there, futurama stuff, and the beatles yellow submarine shirts. And the people that work there are really nice. Most of them are gamers. it's a cool store. I bought a zelda triforce pin there, it was awesome. I want a plasma rifle BAD. I used to play laser tag and i loved it. this is the best thing ever, besides halo 3.

how i express my hype: \\MASTER CHIEF//

Ok. I don't care who wrote this, lukems or frankie. All of this "infinte win" and "Halo-3 related awesome" is really annoying. I mean, you're speaking like a 16 year old who is trying to "be cool" on the internet. And enough with the retarded analogies already.. I read these updates just to hear more halo 3 information but I wish it would be brought forth more professionally. What a shame, b/c this is bungie's "public face". We don't read or hear what the rest of bungie thinks or how they speak. For example, the programmers, project leaders, etc. Nope, just frankie, lukems, and whoever else creates these "updates". They speak on behalf of everyone at bungie and therefore people will associate the feelings they experience while readings these updates with bungie.

Fortunately, for the creators of these "updates", they do not necessarily have to consistently rely upon weekly readers, due to the fact that there is no advertising of any sort in the updates, except for bungie-related products themselves. Which means they can pretty much say whatever they want and get away with it. I'm just saying, if I ran the updates, there would be no "infinite win" and overly exaggerated analogies that make oneself nauseous when read.

"loosened my ability to control pee"?
Seriously, get a life.

Whatever.

i dont understand how the sword is going to work....

do you get to use it while playing laser tag? or is it something that you just keep on your wall?

if you do use it during laser tag, how? you run up and stab the guy or something?

my guess is that its just something that you put ontop of the mantle

edit
why only have 2 weapons? why not carbine or plasma cannon?

but i dont think needlers are gonna be included in the laser tag game cause you can take an eye out if you melee someone. same with the sword.

Bungie has been known to never say anything about their games before release, in a passive attempt to build hype. Their is actually more anticipation due to the fact that they don't say anything. If I remember correctly the fuel rod cannon was not even shown in screen shots until the game had it's review in either oxm or Egm. And since the game is nearing it's release in september there is no reason for a blackout. Besides admit it there has already been a break in protocol since the halo 3 beta. Bungie has released more already due to people already knowing how the game is turning out.

We are coming up on a very special number tuesday and that number is 8. 8 weeks till halo 3 and the whole world explodes leaving us without an incling of what we missed out on. Here is another number 6. Thats six maps that have already been talked about. It seems to me that there is a certain pattern with the release of info, mags show pics and info in high res with glossed over finish, bungie about a month later confirms said info and screenshots exclusive to bungie follow. It seems to me along with a bungie podcast once a week they could do a tad bit more as buisy as they are. With the six multi player maps already being talked about they could do one a week. Basically an overlay of the field with weapon placements for preparation for the release date as well as exclusive screens of some of the action going on without spoilers, or a 3d screenshot of the level or something to that effect. Just a thought.

Over dozens and dozens of updates, you seem to be the only one with this problem. Pretty much everyone else likes the way the updates are given.
And if you're going to criticize someone's lack of professional presentation, I suggest not being a jerk to them.
If you don't like it, leave.

Seriously, get a life.

Whatever.

lol, well aren’t we a jolly little soul. To be honest I kind of fail to see why it gets on your nerves. lol believe it or not I’ve actually picked up these Bungie analogies and have used them in conversation (or silly banter) so they are slowly creeping into my vocabulary, simply because I’m always reading and picking them up in the updates, so Frankie and Luke have effectively engraved there crazy talk into my psyche. Although I can say in full confidence that nothing will ever loosen my ability to control pee, even video game hype… so err yeah.
At the end of the day there just having a laugh and trying to add a bit of fun to it, I still think for the most part they deliver professional updates for us fans even with the quirky little analogies thay throw into them, and lets be honest not many game developers bother to do these sort of updates on such a regular basis, if at all.

Wow man, your a loser.

Get over yourself, your on the site of a company that makes VIDEO GAMES... Most of the people that play these "Video Games" are younger folk, teenagers and such. It's entertaining to receive these weekly updates in the jokingly fashion they give them to us. If you want professional, go to some government forum, not a video game forum. Maybe Bungie doesn't enjoy boredom, nor do their fans. Get the hell over it.

Mmmm... I sorta agree with the first part a lot. I mean I like your sense of humor and all but... most people coming to this site want halo 3 info. How many people that read these updates would actualy buy some toy gun?(hopefully not many) I mean you can include this info... but idk I think it needs to be a little clearer as to what will have to do with halo 3, and what is meant for elementry schoolers.



I can see where you're coming from with the lack of halo 3 info, but just because it's a toy doesn't mean it's only for elementary schoolers. I'd buy one for the sake of displaying...not necessarily playing. My oldest brother (he's 36) has damn near the biggest collection of models, action figures, and toys from various movies and tv series' ranging from knight rider to voltron, as well as the matrix trilogy, alien quadrilogy, and the likes...different hobbies for different people I suppose.


all I know, is that I can't wait to get a 360, I mean I already pre-ordered H3 legendary, but what good is it without a 360?...well, aside from the helmet and what not.

any xbox-livers hit me up whenever I'm on

Maybe the level we didn't expect is that you get to go back to earth 100,000 years ago and you have to use a spear to kill something.

Seriously though to me it has to be 1 fo 2 things.

Either you go back in time to before they had all these glorious weapons of the future

or

You get to fly a ship through a level or in a space battle.

Brand Of Honor, you got told by Bungie's army. Bigtime. Like that was the most I've seen anyone on here chewed out ever. If you want Bungie to make a game, they can't be caught up telling Frankie or Lukems what they want them to put in the update, they have a job to do, and they're not going to take time to write one themselves. Frankie and Lukems try to spice it up a little so we're not just reading a bunch of technical jargin. I feel that some analogies are merely ways to make the update seem longer, but who really cares, oh, scuse me, YOU do. Well, how bout Bungie just tells us everything about the game like Halo 2 so that we get overexcited and then aren't as satisfied with Halo 3. They will give us enough to keep us biting, but not enough to fill us up and make us retire to our rooms like a man who had more than one bowl at a Mongolian BBQ.

Did you like that analogy Honor? =)

HOWEVER I'm not mad at Honor, it was just funny to see everyone get so defensive for Frankie and Lukems, I'm sure they are saying thank you to their loyal fans.
And everyone--including me-- we should kinda leave Honor alone, he has the right to present his own take on each update like the rest of us.
I just couldn't help but join in the shark feeding frenzy on this page. Maybe suddenly everyone will turn on me, that would be interesting to see people telling me to stop defending Bungie and the guy making remarks about them. Very interesting indeed, just like that time at running camp. Those bears, you ever see a bears eyes? like a dolls eyes, eyarrgh...
