Subject: Bungie Weekly Update: 5/16/2008

I'm not sure if anyone else suggested it, but why not make ranked big team battle either double or quadruple exp at least for a time for you to grab the requested "due diligence researching". If nothing else that should guarantee the proper amount of test subjects to play said gametype and make everyone happy. ^_^

Also, one reason i tend to stay away from big team is the simple fact that in the course of 1 Big Team Battle (between finding the match, dealing with any lag, and finishing the match), I could have easily finished 3 games of another gametype. Just some food for thought hope you read this.

Goodbye Frankie! You will be missed, that's for sure!

You made an excellent job! And if you handled this one and established such a *coughs* high *coughs* standard, you will handle most of the others as well (unless you ruin the company within your first week of employment), saying that I mean, there is no need to be anxious about you doing this step forward out of your safely realm, that is Bungie right now. We have to be anxious about the people who will meet you out there, who are not prepared that you are unleashed now, free to go everywhere.
CONFESS, CONFESS AND BE PREPARED THE ONE IS COMIN' AND HE WILL BE FURIOUS AND WILL HAVE NO MERCY...

I hope you will return or as spartanfornow said, that you will pull a "Shishka"!
Good luck in your future endeavors!

At least I will recognise you, if I see a photo in the news, unless you get a graft or there is a huge progress in pharmaceutical products. Maybe I look a lot more like you in the next years, if these two things do not happen, and that is not a bad thing! ;-)

Forgive me any bad grammar or misspelling, I'm just a stupid foreigner.

Anyone else ever wonder what it's like for two elcor to do the nasty?

"Tentatively excited: Oh. Oh. Oh. Right there."

Yeah me neither.

It's hard to put into words Frankie leaving Bungie. Most others on this forum have been doing a much better job. But I wanted to say my goodbye. Although Frankie may not even know me I have had the pleasure to know him through weekly updates, podcasts, videos ect. I loved his sense of humor in everything that he did. I still remember the walkthrough video of Bungie's new studio(LOL!). And maybe try to stop in every now and then to say hi. You will be missed but best of luck in your future endvours.

Lots of great pictures there. The Frank Roll was classic. Good luck with the M$ guys and in life.

"Those who do not learn from the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them."

For Frankie's departure from Bungie, this goes perfectly with it


Nice pics. I lol'ed

Frankie,

Good luck for your future, you've done a great job here at Bungie and will be sorely missed by us all.

...Also, are you allowed to give us spoilers now you've left Bungie? *wink*
(joking! Don't spoil anything! I love the story!) =D

  • 05.17.2008 8:55 AM PDT

I liked the pictures. They were cool.
I am sad to see Frankie go.

MY XBOX DIED THAT'S WHY.

Good Luck, Frankie! You had some of the best write-ups. I remember reading the weekly update and visiting Bungie even when I wasn't playing Halo because the write-ups were so good. It sounds like your going to good places though. Best Wishes!

Now I'll sit in my Mister Chief T-shirt and crai. :'(

Goodbye our beloved Frankie. You will be missed but not forgotten.

  • 05.17.2008 9:42 AM PDT

I feel old.

I don't even know what to write that kinda shocked me you are my favorite people ever and I've never met you. You are truly legendary and (not like you havent heard this) you will be greatly missed. This makes me want to play through all the halos again but I promised to not do that till school gets out.

Formerly known as HunTERminator

Man, I joined the Halo Nation about the same time Frankie did. I set my homepage to the old Tru7h and Reconciliation site to read his witty articles and tangy twist on games. He has pretty much been the face of Halo for me and surely countless others in the community and words can't really express our sadness in his departure.
I remember when I first realized he was bald in the gallery forum. Good times. I sure do hope you'll stop by every now and then. Maybe do a podcast or two. Best wishes in your new endeavors and try not to forget us when your famous.

WEST PHILADELPHIA, BORN AND RAISED. IN THE PLAYGROUND IS WHERE I SPENT MOST OF MY DAYS. CHILLIN, RELAXIN, BEING ALL COOL, AND SHOOTING SOME B-BALL OUT BY THE SCHOOL. WHEN A COUPLE OF GUYS, WHO WERE UP TO NO GOOD, STARTED MAKING TROUBLE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, I GOT IN ONE LITTLE FIGHT, AND MY MOM GOT SCARED. SHE SAID, "YOUR MOVING WITH YOUR AUNTIE AND UNCLE IN BEL-AIR."

ARGH! NO!

must unsie update! CLICK AND DRAG BRAIN TO THE RECYCLE BIN :^U.

"It's not you, it's me"?
Come on, you're all nice and stuff, but you could have thought of something better, really.
We know that we are awesome (who doesn't believe that?), but that's no reason to give when leaving.

See you around, Franky! You seriously rock!

Edit: Here's a link to the thread I made about a tribute video that I made! :D

You missed the point like Vader missed the banshee, your whole argument is covered in bees.
Stop sending me group invites -blam!-s!

I laughed,
I cried.

Bye Frankie.

I think you should burn your halo disc for wanting something this skill free, host dependent, repetative, stupid, and overall bad. I hope you burn in the hottest fires of hell for presenting such a terrible idea. In conclusion, jesus died for everyone but you.

I hope you guys are able to fix Ranked Big Team Battle.

Bye Frankie...But since your leaving, can i have your Recon?
