Subject: Bungie Weekly Update: 08/03/07

Nice Update, fellas! I appreciate you clearing up some of the details on the two new Elites/Co-Op.
I'm also looking forward to reading how the artists fare in the next Humpday. Should be interesting.

Life isn't like Halo, you don't go "Boop. Boop. Beep!" and come back alive.

RIP Halo 2.

Let me get this straight, I'm paying $130 for the Legendary edition and you've gimped the calibration tool by making me have to purchase a blue filter and pay shipping for it if I want to make the calibration easier/better? Come on.

Missing the headshot from across Last Resort: 1 sniper round, -1 kill.
Having that round ricochet 3 times before coming straight back through my head: Priceless.

Frankie:

What we didn’t expect was the effect it had on the Elephant physics. Now the huge metal beastie is indestructible, but it has weight and mass in the game universe, so explode it enough and you can move it. Explode it with a never-ending cascade of fusion cores and you have the most dangerous Halo item ever. A vehicle big enough to park a Scorpion a Hog and two Mongooses inside, flipping around at incredible speeds and tumbling all over the map, releasing exploding cores and the occasional vehicle like some kind of satanic piñata.

And all the while, players have the ability to play a normal game variant in this environment. It’s sheer insanity, and just a taste of what players and player-designers will be able to achieve with Forge. We literally cannot even fathom what folks will come up with using time and imagination, as well as Forge’s multiplayer nature. Actually, I need to invent a fake word that combines normal game players with level designers.

That bit about the fusion cores and the Elephant flying across the map literally made me lawl. That was easily the funniest thing I've read all day. Sir Frankie, please ensure that such a "satanic piñata" is available in the final game. I'm sure that you, in all of your power and glory as the ultimate Bungie Content Monkey, can see to it that this makes it into the shipped game.

while the characters have the same power as far as melee strength, etc: won't the physical size and shape of the characters affect co-op gameplay - I'm not saying this is a bad thing, but we all know how body design of the elites affects Halo 2 multiplayer (especially with SWAT and sniper games), so there has to be some effect in Halo 3 - the other elites not appearing in cinematics is dissapointing I might add even though I know it would've been more difficult to do

I wonder if they will sell CQB and EVA helmets like the one in the Legendary Edition of Halo 3?

Bungie said it's basically for "very fine scale adjustments" (that would no doubt be unwanted by the average tv owner), ergo, it's not a vital component of the application.

  • 08.03.2007 10:54 PM PDT

RIP Halo 2.

Regardless, I shouldn't pay $130 for a product and not get the whole package, especially when the missing component is a piece of blue plastic that costs them a nickel to manufacture.

OEEE YEAH ! That co-op points system realy sounds addicting to me. Its also cool that when you give them a headshot you will get more point for that :D. But they didn't mention anything about the achievementsystem in coop ?

Never eat yellow snow, unless of course, you spilled your Mt. Dew!

I'm not a custom game kind of guy or really tinker around with stuff but a huge exploding elephant pinata has definitely got my attention.
