There are those of you doing things you shouldn’t be in Halo 3. Some of you have gotten a little too famous for your own good. This ain’t a church and there is no redemption or salvation once you have been judged. Apologies are now officially too late to save you.

The storm approaches.

Love, Bungie

That's worth posting twice. >:)
Nice pseudo update.

underpaid.....they just had the largest electronic launch in history, [url]http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/halo-3-sales-break -records/story.aspx?guid={37039115-4EF2-4738-A3FE-5B9461F02CA E}&siteid=aolpfaolpf , saying that these guys are underpaid is like saying your fema trailer can withstand a tornado. Don't go on a rant calling people ignorant, neanderthals who can barely find the internet when you do not even take notice to the general facts of the people and studio your defending. Also they sacrifice their personal time for something they love but also get "paid for, please don't be so naive.

also

"They don't owe you anything, they put out a game, YOU decided to spend money on it, and if you aren't satisfied, you are a bonafide moron or a spoiled brat who needs a gravity hammer to your colon for displaying the utmost pitiful display of the "I am a loser" disease."

Since we spent money on it, we ARE entitled to speak our minds, no matter how ineptly done, because WE paid for this. They owe us everything because without us, even the whiners, they wouldnt have this franchise or anything for that matter.

Also, they have already explained the whole melee thing, so if your losing, your losing becuase your not shielding them low enough before you beat down, but again...they've already gone over this....

“One time we ordered pizza for the whole office and I was the only one not on crunch. Mat Noguchi told me that I should get all veggie pizza or he would break my legs. So I ordered 18 extra large tofu, pineapple and broccolini pizzas with wholewheat crust and white garlic sauce instead of tomato. Mat was happy but Harold yelled something about bacon and Sparta and kicked me down the stairs. I was only in a cast for a month but the team said that my hilarious fall was the only thing that got them through crunch.”




LOL that is amazing!!!! LAWL

I agree. I enjoyed reading the comments, thoughts, and snippets from the various members of the Bungie team. Some of the notes made me smile, and others, like the one above, made me laugh. Thank you Bungie. Thanks to the people that have made our dreams come true. :-)

Be determined and advance. - Hagakure

Thanks Bungie for sharing your inner thoughts. Great to hear. And shows that you guys care. Especially hearing Chris Butcher's comments about the community. I played Myth so I know what he's talking about. The community really was awesome and the spirit of that has really carried over. (Well minus the people who complained about this update, heh.) Thanks again.

If you dislike the game so much how about you get off of it's website and go play your beloved Bioshock that only lasted any sensible gamer a few weeks and while your at it return your copy of the game of the year to EB or something that way the poor kids can get the game that they've been waiting for. Jackass...


Get of it's website why should I? So that zealots like you and others can keep on worshipping Bungie? I'm like the arbiter of this s-h-i-t , firing the halo's wont bring you the salvatio nyou want. The prophets are lying to you and always have. The heretic was right.


Posted by: TSL Sgt Hartsock


speak for yourself n00b.."bioshock" only has SINGLE player and it sure hell ain't better than "halo"...get the F(beep) off of Bnet, loser


Yeah it only has a singleplayer ,so ,who needs a broken multiplayer like halo 3's one anyway? sniper messed up ,melee is just a mess. They could have better scrapped it and made the singleplayer twice as long. Bioshock is like 12 hours ,halo 3 is 6. Multiplkayer could have been DLC ,thay way they would have saved space on the DVD plus could have had more time to create more and better maps plus also time to fix these things that are currently so wrong in multiplayer.

My guess is ,M$ rushed them to that 25th september date because they were shook, of big sony guns comming out and other big games wich completely would overshadow halo 3 in graphics and gameplay and in being REAL next-gen.

Just be honest for once, doent the campaign made you feel liek you was playing a sort of Halo 1 HD or something? Everthing was the same basicly only the story was wack this time and the levels look better and more open and there was no elites to fight.

So dotn call me a loser Zealot ,what I say is not herassy ,it's the thruth ,the Oracle told me this himself....

....

also my friend has a matchmaking video in which he sticks someone with the plasma grenade and the grenade falls off and doesn't kill him. we can't seem to record the clip, and it's pretty far into the match, but we'll try and upload it to prove it.


ha ... so its not only me and not only my imagination. i was able to record it if you like to see it ...

thanks for the "update"
seriously there are MANY things that need to be fixed, and you people are doing nothing to fix them. Shotty Snipers isnt even fixed yet. Thanks for taking our money, cutting your ties with Microsoft and running...

oh and another thing. Your melee system is garbage, most head to head fights are a coin flip now, takes to long to find a game with 900,000 people playing, half of the boards suck, for some reason even if one team cant win an objective match you still have to play another round

  • 10.20.2007 8:48 AM PDT

It's been an honor serving with you Bungie.

Thank you. All the words in the world couldn't convey my love for you guys.

*Sniffle*

  • 10.20.2007 8:54 AM PDT

And I also can't believe what -blam!-s you guys above me and in the previous pages are for complaining about the game. Please, shut the hell up.

Thanks for all of the Hallmark card-based comments, fellas. (although time has proven Mat Noguchi's comment about ignoring the M label a bit more bittersweet) It's been a pleasure serving y'all in your quest for World Domination™.

Also, with respect to Mr. Scott, isn't it Grant Kirkhope? =O I will agree, though, that Viva Pinata is awesome, as is the sound provided for the Grunt Birthday Party skull.

Seriously guys... ive read through FIVE PAGES of this topic, and NOONE has mentioned the REDACTED words.
Instead of crying because you dont get blatent information, try to read what is actually being written, and you see alot more.

Interesting Update. Keep it up!

I was searching for someone to bring that up, and so far you're the only one who has. It's obvious what was being referenced -- but why did they feel the need to rock the 'redacted' on it? On a side note, maybe -blam- or censored would have been a better choice if you felt the need to not disclose the location -- considering "Redacted" is a soon-to-be released controversial film on supposed Iraq-war atrocities...

After reading through 6-pages, another thing I noticed was that, while 1,000,000 active members is a impressive milestone -- a lot of them are doucheunits.

Unleash the beast!

Hey Bungie.

I was wondering why you can't place flags in the map on forge. That would be cool. Change up flag positions and also and a scenery flag. That would be cool to.
(I would hate to have to mod :p Just kidding Bungie. Down with modders. Lets hope they dont break that second one. Or the strom really will come :p)

  • 10.20.2007 10:07 AM PDT

sweet nice update made me laugh

I work here: Sound Devices, LLC. We make bad-ass field audio gear, and you think that's awesome. My messy desk (With work-related items on the computer screen).

One does not simply grenade jump into Mordor...

It's nice to hear all the little anecdotes and different viewpoints. It must be neat to to be able to watch fans playing your game. With music and film, etc the audiences' participation is more passive, but with video games, you can see your work actually transforming peoples' moods/perceptions.

Anyway... Great work, guys.

actually, there's nothing wrong with bungie.net, it's a great site, but i don't think the weekly update should be a circle jerk full of congrats for web devs or anyone else for that matter

the game still has problems bungie won't address at all, and it looks like they never will

way to dodge every possible question in another worthless weekly update bungie!
