The link is here.

THIS HAS TO BE THE BEST UPDATE IN LIKE A MONTH.

Frankie says:

I also animated the first-person CENSORED (both single and dual shot), so that should be in the game and working now…it looks pretty cool, but it’s definitely a lot weaker than CENSORED and it has CENSORED now, so people are probably going to CENSORED and CENSORED. Oh well, all’s fair in the cruel world of gameplay balance."

Can you say, new gun?

-and-

Cuban did the damage type reporting so the game engine can have different messages appear for Melee kills vs. Sniper kills vs. Needler kills, plus we track them as separate stats which is cool.

Very nice...

-and-

Luke Timmins has voice communication working in game for real, and has done some very neat stuff with player CENSORED and team voice stuff.

Xbox live baby.

Check it out.

People complain about things that are in the game way too much. Especially about a weapon that is balanced in SP and even more so in MP.

Sounds like he's referring to the Pistol.

Imagine:

I also animated the first-person PISTOL (both single and dual shot), so that should be in the game and working now…it looks pretty cool, but it’s definitely a lot weaker than HALO 1 and it has NO SCOPE now, so people are probably going to -blam!- and COMPLAIN. Oh well, all’s fair in the cruel world of gameplay balance."

Yeah. I'd bet my left nut.

A sliencer would be tight. But dual wield the pistol. That balances it out.

No scope = Dual wield

Your'e probably right. That's what I came up with in my head as well. When he's referring to dual shot he probably means dual wielded.

Don't worry, guys. Subnova might've just had a little hiccup. The website's acting a little slow, for obvious reasons, so just try again in a few minutes if you get an error. I was able to load it up just fine.

Even though I haven't even read it... the quote above does sound like voice recognition maybe? "player <COMMANDS>".
I can be patient.
