Yeah don't you think it would be cool to see those kinda stats, like here at Bungie? So I could see how many Needler Kills you have and can conclude you like using it or not so I have somewhat of an idea of what kind of player you are? (or something like that). It'd be usefull too maybe within clans.


That would be tight, that would portray your true weapon of choice, like in james bond (they have that).

That is EXACTLY how it read that. Word for word. (Except I thought '-blam!- and moan')

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.

Man i dunno. This new "bad guy" sounds pretty scary. They have to alter the weapon/damage code to make it fit the existing systems!!! and uhhh... T-Rex's are really big.

I also maintain that they have a whole new HUD that we haven't seen....and won't till Nov 9th.

Why make us wait for Nov. 9th then!? WHY!!!!!???

It could be a t-rex baby. =P Yeah, it should be massive, like a hunter's size. But they obviously would have weak spots, so just think of it as a new obstacle. The hud will most likely be entirely different from what we saw in E3. I hope it looks more cooler than before (if it is possible).

True that.
It'll be big but it'll have a weakness.
But still. This game has so many levels of Covenant and Flood you gotta wonder what's next? and what could be bigger than a hunter...?(and stronger than a brute?)

i'm happy that they seemed to have nerfed the pistol.......to dang powerful...and ya my bad...i should've realized its more likely a flood form to split up then a covie form....but ya never know.....so many twists they have planned......this update is so much better then the last......excuse me i think i -BLAMMED- myself thinking about all the new goodies

The pistol wasn't that powerful, but it is still as useful as before if they are balancing it out more. Split Chomp, imagine ur avatar holding two pistols, wouldn't that look tight? =P

Consider this the official translation. :)

What a-boot honing you skills on Legendary then bustin oot on Live?

I will beat the game on (probably) Heroic (most likely) Normal before takin it online. I plan on establishing a decent record right from the start.

There always a huge Bungie twist no matter how much we speculate or write about it, we'll never see it coming, thats why this game unno be epic.

no one has mentioned it, but i like the little things in the game that bothered me in the mp demo.... like the hud for duel weilding, how would the crosshairs work and the ammo display?? we all speculate and give awful suggestions, but as always bungie comes in and creates the best thing for it (which i dont know but frankie said it was sick or something)

They didn't have the hud completed for E3 as you might've sawn. There was only one ammo display. And the shield indicator i believe wasn't nearly finished. We'll have to wait hasta el nueve de noviembre.

You don't wanna get all the secrets now do you? You would be drooling and going insane after a couple weeks. They want you at the edge of your chair waiting for the clock hurry up.

So true, but stop for a moment and think about what we have not seen, and that's a heck of a lot. No new vehicles, when we know there are at least four, perhaps more. We've read reference to at least three new guns and three new enemies, and have seen none. We have seen two new screens of single player since E3 last year, both indoor shots in the same scene, and five seconds of footage (in X03 video). In short, we've seen almost nothing of single player, and they just finished the environents for the whole game (tweaking aside).

Plenty of surprises for later. :)

I still think that the new gun could be a new weaker shotgun to replace the old one, but it has a duel shot (2 shots at once, not duel wielding) like in perfect dark. But pistol sounds more reasonable. Still it could be a shotgun.

My Stats

I think Frankie does a great job feeding us tidbits every week (like Grunts to a food nipple)yet still keeps 98% of the game a secret. On Nov 8th I'd like to know -at the most- 5% of the game (info and screenshots of levels). Anymore and I'd be afraid of it being spoiled.
I can wait for the grestest game ever.

It will be done, the final version. Now take that and make 7,000,000,000,000 copies of it. You need time for all of that.

right now frankie is probably looking at our translation of the CENSORED quote and thinkin "oh they're good. real good." or maybe not...anyway, ya, im 80% sure he's talkin about the pistol. and what's the weapon/damage code that they had to alter? i'd probably be impressed about them changing it to fit the enemy if i knew what it was...
