Terrible update...let me summarize:

Blah blah blah...worthless crap that you don't care about (continued for 80% of WWU)
Small amount of info on BTB "fixes"
!!!One line telling us the auto-update drops next week!!!
Vagueness on DLC-->pics next week
B.net upgrades
$6000+ Mister Chief Painting

That's it...keep in mind that the last five items only made up, at most, 20% of the WWU. And to the winner of the Mister Chief auction. Do not tell anyone that you won it, and DO NOT let your gamertag be revealed. Your recon armor, and more importantly your gamertag, will almost certainly be stolen. But congrats, and you should sleep easy knowing your money went to a good cause.

In closing...I love cheez whiz

Muttonhead...same thing happened to me, but I sensed it was coming and was able to copy my text before

quite honestly there is nothing you can do to BTB for me to play it. I absolultly hate it. I would rather of kept team tatical or team sniper. i mean dont get me wrong its great to releave stress in after you loose a Ranked team slayer game but its nothing better than that. but i cant wait for those tweaks none the less so keep the update coming and hopfuly we will get some kind of snipe game. and one last thing, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE MELEE FIX CANT WAIT.

nice, can't wait for the AU next week.

If I remember correctly, screenshots of the Heroic map pack were released just a week before the release of the map pack itself. So if they are going to release the screenshots next week...

No "New Halo game" will ever be the same without Bungie.

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Staff Writer and speedrun record holder at highspeedhalo.net

Ignorance is the true enemy of all things.

Rocking Bungie.net for over 8 years!

9 presentations from Bungie at GDC next week, Sweet!

But Jay, Marty and C Paul's presentation seems quite short:

Audio Post-Mortem: Halo 3: C. Paul Johnson (Audio Design, Bungie), Marty O’Donnell (Audio Director, Bungie), Jay Weinland (Audio Lead, Bungie)
Wednesday, Feb. 20 , 4 p.m.-4 p.m.


4pm until 4 pm? Or is it 24 hours long? 0.o Thats a long presentation!

Can't wait to see them. Being an aspiring game developer myself, it should be interesting.

Oh, and maps and Auto Updates and such. Should be cool. 'n' stuff.

Edit: Wait, I R Mythic?

How was that a good update? Absolutely nothing about Team Snipers or the melee ""fix"".

This fix will make or break Halo 3 and yet they are delaying and delaying some more.

Back to CoD4.

If I remember correctly, screenshots of the Heroic map pack were released just a week before the release of the map pack itself. So if they are going to release the screenshots next week...


first off


Steam is ejected into the skybox which resembles the night sky from the opening of Sierra 117,
oh jeeze a night map

secondly... i always said it would be 2 weeks before easter, seeing as the others were 2 weeks before christmas... so it looks like I might be right.

Here's looking to March 9th

Good update Bungie, and I read all of the history, never knew Marathon was a continuation of Pathways... of course I never knew there was such a thing as Pathways... gives me newfound respect for Bungie knowing how they started and seeing how they grew into what they've become.

Look forward to the New World Order.

The Halo 3 game is equal to crap right now, because of all these flaws with the game mechanics... If this AU1 doesn't fix some of these frustrating glitches. I honestly will say, I shall never buy another Bungie Made product again. And yes I compare you to Wal-Mart in Customer service!

Yep,i'm ready for some new maps. I think they were just updating the news on the new maps next week but the AU1 will not be coming out next week.

This is yet the continued demise of Halo 3, updates get more boring and pointless every week, the game itself was over hyped and is now just lingering in the shadows of its competitors like Call of Duty 4 and soon Unreal 3.
The new maps will yet again be over priced for something that can only be used in specific hoppers and nothing worth while playing in. Sorry Bungie but this game really is falling down the long list of popular games and by having crappy updates like that, its only making that tumble down increase in speed.

would work there but to young for it

Thanks for the WWU. I appreciate the fact that you slipped in the approximate release date for AU1, and I can't wait to see the game with the melee fix. After thinking about it for a long time, I think you're on the right track for making online play as good as it can be. Also, I'm really looking forward to the screenshots next week! Also, it would seem that Moonlight Sonata is looking more and more like a Lockout or Chilly remake. Either of those maps would be universally adored, indeed.

Can we haz 3d Screenshot of O.K. Carrol next week?
(like on Zanzibar before Halo 2 was released)

bungie has proven that a bunch of monkeys sitting in front of keyboards can randomly type out a masterpiece. the thing is, when you go to play the masterpiece, you cant help but notice all the monkey s**t smeared all over it.

it gets real old having to wait months for someone like mlg to clean off all the monkey poo.

bungie probably shouldn't be holding conferences on environment design and matchmaking, that is unless they are warning the others what not to do.

i mean, come on bungie, those ledges and cracks on guardian may be pretty, but they cause your grenades, already apparently coated in rubber to bounce and catch so unpredictably.

Bungie publications, thats a good idea. Hopefully you guys will release documentation about the development of past games. I'd be interested in that.

I sort of forgot everything I read before the part that said "series of interconnected platforms, but now a gentle glow warms this otherwise chilly, isolated structure"

The chilly isolated structure doesn't really meen too much, remakes could be completely different environments, however "Series of Interconnected platforms" really does seem oddly familiar/obviious. Anyways , thanks for the update,It was interesting, and a nice read.
