Brace yourself, it's about to get a whole lot chiefier in this room!

LOL! The picture of Joe Staten and the spike grenade was hilarious!

I wish I had a life sized BR or Sniper.

I bursted out in loud and uncontrollable laughter after reading this:

"Betcha can’t stick it! Joe Staten shows how large the life-sized Brute Spike Grenade is..."

"...but Frankie demonstrates just how small Joe Staten is in real life in this comparison."

Joe Staten is a gnome. :D

Very cool and informative update.

Great, another BTB map built for CTF and assualt. How about a big map that is possibly set up for Slayer, or some other gametype that does not involve Sticks with Rags or Explosive Metal Balls, as whenever you try to stick us with slayer on a map not built for it, you end up with a lot of imbalance and poor gameplay. Something like Headlong, decentralized, dynamic, and without the whole "Large semetrical map with 2 bases that just begs you to spawncamp" theme to it.

Anyone get the feeling "Cottonball" might be blood Gulch? We can only hope.


It sounded a lot like that to me to... but don't get your hopes up. :P

From the description Bungie is giving us of these new maps... they're just going to be amazing.

I really hope they put in a Scorpion by default on "Cottonball". That would be great.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.” – Psalms 46:1-3

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

Does the security guy get a Bungie chest?

He should wear Brute armor, nobody would want to mess with him.

If there's one thing I have learned in working with you, it's that there is always margin for error.
- RvB, Simmons to Griff.

nice update. Hilarious pics. Is there a set date for AU1?

Well, I don't think anyone will be breaking their way into Bungie studios any time soon if you guys have weapons like those too defend yourselves.

Any chance you will give away some of those replica weapons and/or props? Or maybe auction them away for charity - why not, I'm sure people would pay loads for them, and it would go towards a good cause. :)
