THANK YOU. Finally, someone who sees this game for what it really is. Nothing special at all, just another shooter.

If you really believe that you are pretty pathethic. Halo will only be remembered because of it's overhypedness. I mean seriously lets compaire it to other games. The end of all games is or a GTA or Final fantasy 7. Halo is nowhere near that. What you discribe as Western media culture ,you shoudl describe as American media culture. Halo 2 sold 6 million in america alone and only a mear 2 million abroad world wide.

Halo 3 isnt a benchmark in anyway, its visuals are being surpassed by a game wich is a year older (gears of war). It's gameplay and animations are straight from 2001 (since the first halo animations havent changed). And it's story had much potential ,but ended up being WEAKSAUCE. I really hope you pick up soem games later on this year like: Mass effect assasins creed ,bioshock ,Call of duty 4 ,Uncharted drake's fortune ,Ratched & clank future tools of destruction. Those games are next-gen gaming. And next year dont forget fable 2 ,alan wake ,gta 4 ,final fantasy 13 and ofcourse Metal Gear Solid 4. When you have played all those games, Halo 3 will be nothing more then a distant memory of a game that could have been alot but ended up beign nothing, you probably wont even remember it.................

It is an interesting update, maybe not much about the status of certain things but still interesting. This is not halo.net so they can post what they want.

As for the bugs, they are surely working on them, it just takes time. They have to figure out what causes it, how to fix it, then test it to make sure it does not cause another bug. That takes time. There will be bugs, but it seems there are fewer than some games out there, and all that code means a lot of chances for bugs. I do quality systems inspections and look at a many software developing companies or departments and the reality is there are always bugs, they are not easy to fix, and they have to be prioritized (hence the existence of BugZilla and similar software). Remember, they can test all they want, but once you get millions using it new things can be revealed. About the only good thing is that they are all on one platform, rather than computers which have so many different configurations that there are more headaches. The code-junkies are probably hard at work looking at the issues and trying to determine where the bugs are in their millions of lines of geek-speak so they can give them all a nice swat with a gravity hammer.

An update will come, just give them time to get a few bugs swatted and tested so that they can wrap them in a nice little box of internetz paper with a little 360 bow and send it out. My bet is that they will send out an update with multiple fixes at once, as it is easier to do.

TO those who think the storm will not hit you... Mister Chief is watching....

worst post ever. GTA or Final Fantasy don't stand even close to Halo 3.
