Signatures are for little kids.

Everything sounds so awesome. Looks like a game that will reach iconic status, at least in my brain.


And I do hope it gets great reviews. I'm sick of Bioshock fans in the Halo3 forum at www.xbox.com squacking abou how great Bioshock is and how it "pwns" Halo and all that crap.


Bioshock is a 2 week game, Halo3 will be a 2-3 year game.

I do worry about what will happen when COD4 comes out, it may be a great shooter as well. I have room for both in my gaming heart but hearing alot fo the crap comparisons about those two will be more than I can handle.

Halo3 and COD4 are the only 2 shooters I plan to buy in the next 6 months at least.

This is awesome. I have'nt been this excited in a long while. HALO 3 FTW!!! And i hope to see more updates on Bnet's transformation, looks amazing now!

Also:
One of those two things i did actually say

I'd take a small bet that the second one is the one he did say...about Cortana's and MC's love story. I certainly dont want to wait till Halo 17 for Campaign Forge!

Opdahl and I started every player on Heroic and tracked their progress, one player started on normal and was blowing through the first four missions in the game -- however, from BLAM! to conclusion things slowed down DRASTICALLY, he finished "BLAM!" at midnight when we closed the lab.

Does that mean that people actually went through the game?

i hope not, i want to finish halo 3 in about 4 days on heroic


Will someone from Bungie confirm or deny that campaign will take longer then a day to finish?

This was a fantastic update, I remember more than a year ago when things were considerably drier. The ODST to the left of the Arbiter looks amazing. The art team really pulled out all the stops, the lighting accents everything nicely. Good job Bungie.

is it possible for me to talk personally with Chris Opdahl, because i would like to see if we are at all related.

well considering they started in the morning and ended at night that could be up to 10-14 hours and halo 1 and halo 2 were like 10 hoursm, also great update

Never Lucky, Just incredibly good.

Well, if you actually think about... no matter how much fandom you display.. it's still a mere fact that Halo 3 is a commodity and being a company that wants to set itself apart from the rest, they're under strict obligations to make the game either perfect... or as close to perfect as possible.

Great update though.... I'm actually more interested in what Bnet has to offer in the coming weeks.

The German Gaming Confrence sounds awesome! Wish I could have been there, though I don't speak an Iota of german. Awesome update Bungie! Sounds like you're all having loads of fun!

Incidentaly though...

I feel very much like the dog who keeps having some delicious treat pulled away from them, after they get to smell it and taste it alittle. It is cruel torture Bungie, watching you enjoy the treat... yet so beautiful is the treat, It is very much worth it.

This wouldn't be an update without...

*An ugly-looking 6-year-old drawing of a spartan face appears*

LOL!!!

Just remember... I keep it real...

Great update. It wasn't sort like the last one.

"Chris and I did a bunch of Interviews with European press, many of which will likely be translated into things like "Luke said there would be campaign Forge in Halo 17" and "Chris says that the love story between Cortana and the Master Chief is a key theme in Halo 3" -- oh, wait, of those two things one of them actually was said."

Anyone else pick this up?

Yes, I think the second one is the most probable.
