did not see that coming nice work bungie

Thanks for 3 great Halo games Bungie.

Which is a hard drive, right? Right! Good choice, sir. But a memory unit will work too, if for some strange reason you removed your hard drive. But who would remove their hard drive? That doesn’t make any sense.

Hahahahaha, I see what you did there.

5. Quitting: Only in moderation
There are plenty of totally valid reasons to quit. For example, if you're on fire. Or, if your mother is on fire. Or, even if your dog is setting your mother on fire. However, these things come with statutes of limitations. For quitting, if you do it so often that we recognize it as bad behavior, you're risking the wrath of the Banhammer. - Shishka

Forge looks SO SWEET!! can't wait to have a guy on a box w/ a sniper rifle or rocket launcher in a custom game. that or make a really high staircase of boxes. or warthogs. SOMETHIN LIKE THAT OK ITS A WEEK TIL HALO 3 AND, WELL A MAN CAN DREAM, CAN'T HE??!!

Thanks for the Monday update... I'm a long time reader, first time poster.

Kudos to Bungie on this forward-leaning idea. They could have just created a complex map editor with hundreds of options which would have been lost on most players and would have most likely resulted in a glut of crappy user-created maps. It look like they distilled the best aspects of the Bungie-created multiplayer maps and made them pretty customizable. (I'm particulary interested in the "goal-type" objects. We'll see how that worked for them in a few days. The social aspect of multiplayer forge is pure Bungie. This should provide hours and hours of mindless chaos and nuanced re-playability. Again great work!

Speaking of Bungie-created multiplayer maps, I know the games hasn't even hit stores yet, but.... is it too early to start thinking about downloadable content in the form of Map-[insert intensifying modifier here] packs? Just think... Last story in the narrative "arc," great 'new' console with almost unlimited memory, and the ease of purchase and incorporation of DLcontent over XBL... I'm thinking (and hoping) Bungie will budget some time dedicated to enhancing the game with additional maps.

Suffice to say that sometime, a moderator is going to end this account permenantly.

There’s a good reason for doing so, besides removing every weapon from the map but Battle Rifles and calling it “balanced.” You know who you are.Hilarious.

Wow I can't wait for this. I think this will be the most "fun" aspect of the game. I won the Pontiac giveaway, so I'll be catching you on the action early.

awesome. no new screens disappoints me though.

Also my burning question still hasnt been answered.


FORGE SPLIT SCREEN: 2 players only or up to 4 people? surely 4 wont TOTALLY blow up a xbox.

I knew I stayed up late and checked bungienet again. Great article/information piece it laid out the basics really well and I cant wait to get my hands on it.

I watched Tron this weekend and Im tryin to think of a way to make a good 2v2v2v2 mongoose race with spartan lasers only, call it light cycles, throw in shield increases and up the ammo and thats a start of a good time.

Cant wait for the next bit of info to be released. Ive been a halo fan for years but these last two weeks have turned me into a halo FANATIC!!!

One does not simply grenade jump into Mordor...

That was completely inappropriate wasn't it?

wow bungie i love you lol.... wow... forge is one of my favorite aspects im looking forward to in halo 3 and it really looks excellently created.... also, forge should help LARGELY in the elimination of hackers because the whole editing aspect of forge provides most of the abilities that hacking halo 2 would... good job, cant wait

That was really well written! Nice and neatly explained forge, and I understand it now much more than before. Nicely done!

What's hilarious is that MLG had to balance out Halo 2 for bungie.

It won't be nescessary for Halo 3 because if it is anything like the beta, Bungie balanced it themselves this time around.

this will probally be covered in the next update, but when you mention "spawners" does that include player spawn points or just objects?

Bungie, you're a good person.

This is probably a place for either a wise or immature statement. I choose neither.
