Frankie,

I know you have never even met most of us or even read our names, but nonetheless, we will miss you. For every fan of Bungie, this is an emotional day. I believ I speak for us all when I say good luck in the future. It was an amazing and rewarding experience to be part of a community like Bungie's with a hilarious man writing us weekly. Good luck on the road of life, it was our pleasure to have had a quick stop with you.

Sincerely,
Kevin Lennox

Remember, trust is calculated daily, and the maximum value possible changes every day too. Since the titles are based on the percentage your trust value is compared to the maximum value, it can easily change if the max value goes up further than you go up in the intervening time, even if you haven't had any negative items against you.

In other words, no the system isn't buggy, stop asking why your title changed, I'm not going to tell you.

Goodbye Frank! A fellow Scot wishes you well.

Farewell Frankie and thanks for the updates!

About RANKED BIG TEAM....I'm SOOOO glad to see Bungie is making it known in the weekly update that they care so much about trying to fix it. Good show, but please give some news soon of a change you have made so the populations will go up from people trying the new changes :)

Honestly everyone i play with agrees on why BTB is slow or low in population..Weekend seems to be when population gets high...which is also the same time Double EXP comes out. and that alone sucks Huge chunks of population from all playlists. Im a 48, pretty much if i can get matches everyone can. I love Ranked Big Team if they removed this i dont know if i would enjoy halo near as much...if they reduced the amount of time Double EXP was out this would increase BTB alot. BTB population used to be 4,000+ occasionally when Double is out i havent seen it over 2,000. I havent seen any problems with NAT or anything the only thing that stops me from getting matches if lack of players at certain levels. and alot of players want to get there rank up, so Double EXP does that fast. wants the ranks up they will come back to whatever it is including BTB. Also i've been seening names in BTB getting past 40 that i havent seen before so there are more players getting up there. Big team social is in my opinion a mess, i cant play it...why...since there are huge differences in peoples skill level the only thing i get to do in social btb is kill for about 3-4 minutes and the other team quits. Ranked....people dont quit near as often and i get to play people my own skill, not level 30s and down with 3 guests, no offense to them but it's there way to easy to beat over and over. making it well boring...i assume it is for them also. So when they go to Ranked they play people like themselves.

reducing the Double EXP by a day or changing it to a weekend special that isnt double EXP it would increase population greatly.

bungie I have a question:

If frankie is gone who will take his spot on the bungie podcast?


I think he already recorded enough shows to last us through the year, following the trend of recording weeks before actually posting.

Anyway, goodbye Frank at Bungie, hello to Weekly Updates at xbox.com about new Halo games (right?).

Am Cry.

Frankie :'[

But i'm still fuming over the winners for the meme. Two of them weren't even memes. I worked my butt off hand animating one on a bloody laptop, adding in the hilarity and pointlessness of caramell dansen and... well i just cobbled together that 'Frankie roll'. (though someone on first page mentioned they lol'd at it, so its worth it in the end. )

Though woots out to the second one, that totally deserved it XD

Andddddddddddd end ranting. :P
