In the next update, some would like to read about the soundtrack release date. I know I would. ;)
Oh, and I really hope that podcast intro tune will be lengthened and released in some way someday. :D

Doesn't Bungie.net have mods?
Everytime i click the "Discuss this story" link in the update i have to go through a couple of pages of "first page" crap.
O.T. The update's lack of info is understandable but isn't it time we got something to shout about...How is it that i Haven't seen any small gameplay clips or campaign snippets,but if i go onto ign or other websites i can see all sorts of multiplayer and campaign vids?
If there is nothing new to report why not bung in a couple of vids to keep the fans happy,cos right now,i'm not...

Um, where the hell is the next short. Soonish is turning into rather longish and now someone has leaked some crappy cam version of it.

Ahhhhhhhhhh...

Given all the information about Halo 3 released in the past few weeks, this wasn't surprising. My surprise is in the release being just a month away - good job all!

Co-op = necessary + great for 2 more characters
Fire weapons = expected, but still a surprise
Wider variety in everything = what we all need, and where H3 is winning. Keep it up!

Hey Frankie! Actually, I have to disagree with you on the whole Worst. Update. Ever thing. Every new weekly update is the Best. One. Ever if only because they show how much you guys care about your fans. Rather than just saying "Jeez, we just traveled around the entire -blam!- world to promote our new game, no one will mind if we just skip one", you guys actually crank out a nicely written and informative update every week to keep us Halo-addicts from bouncing off the walls in withdrawal. I and endless legions of appreciative fans salute you for it. Oh, and by the way, any reference to Super Mario Bros. (especially in the context of Halo 3 & Forge) gets copious amounts of my approval (and drool)! Thanks again for a great update!

I more then agree with this... anyone who complains about an update like this should be slaped. The games coming, they are busy, and they still write something. I find it rather amazing.

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

I'd have to agree as well. It's really a treat for me when I get to read up on the occasional funny happenings in the studio. I wish there where more of those!

Macgyver can build an airplane out of gum and paper clips, but Evil One can kill him and take it.

Lol that's funny, how you used the word 'ignorance' and 'fan boy' oh by the way for those of us that could afford to get an education there is a space between fan and boy. Ignoring you lack of understanding and poor eye sight as you obviously didn't read it properly I am simply trying to say that Bungie should be doing what they are paid to do especially frankie and give us news that is actually worth the time to read, how this makes me a 'fan boy' I have no idea considering I said and i quote 'i would rather you not post anything at all'! So before you go round the forums telling people they're 'fan boys' you might want to consider what they actually mean in their post rather that jumping to conclusions. Can someone tell me what is good about this update, it doesn't tell us ANYTHING apart from what a stated in my previous post.

Does every update have to have new info? Do you know exactly what it is that Frankie does? Does he exclusively do updates? Is that his job?

You are an idiot.

PS. You really shouldn't talk about people not having an education. You can't even put a sentence together let alone a paragraph.
Pat yourself on the back. You made yourself look like a retard.

Where in the UK is Luke going to be?

And I'm just slightly concerned about the use of Forge with will almost certainly be MLG.

The idea of MLG in Halo 2 was that everyone had the same settings so when they train, people are all singing from the same hymn-sheet. With the concept of changing spawns, unless they're locked into certain places you can move them to, surely everyone would have a slightly different version of the map? Possibly they'd have to stick to factory-designed spawns just for clarity, anyway.

I keep seeing that you are taking screen shots from the game, and they are going in 1920x1080. Does that mean the game runs in 1080p as well as 720p?

Funny story about messing with Luke's head on "Lukeout", but it raises an issue with me. I heard that there was a sort of matchmaking for custom games. I figured I would use this as an alternative to regular matchmaking when I wanted a very specific game type. (16 player CTF on Valhalla) I'm guessing Forge will be active in this system so I pray that there will be some way to avoid people using the original map name on Forge (at least for online play). I don't want to find what looks like an awesome standard CTF game, only to find all the Warthogs deleted and all weapons switched to Invisibility powerups. I want to be able to find a standard game if I'm in the mood for it.
