how i express my hype: \\MASTER CHIEF//

Lol, I would leave bungie too after halo 3.. screw that. Frankie is actually joining up with Epic to work on Gears 2 since it rocks. Face it, Halo is dead. What happened? Did a lot of people who worked on Halo 1 quit or get fired or something? Oh well. I haven't put halo 3 in my xbox since march and don't intend on doing so ever again.

Posting on bungie.net should require that the user has had to have read a chapter book all the way through.

Frankie we'll mis you!

You're kidding right? Halo 1 was awesome and redefined first person shooters but Halo 3 is everything Halo 1 was and more. Compairing any Halo game to any Gears of War is like apples and oranges. They are too differant to make any logical compairison. Besides, GOW2 isn't even out yet. What if it totally sucks?

Jeot21 - Halo 3 Blues

It was that morning, i bumped my head.
i gto unconcious, it was really sad.
i woke up after a week you see,
and all i wanna do, was play halo 3!

----

I got GTA and Gears of war,
i played the games but didnt got far.
you know what kept me from playing these?
the character wasnt master chief!

----

I got EVA and EOD,
and after 1000 points, security.
got a Katana, and i'm happy.
and i'm really sad, because of frankie!

---

to cheer me up, i drunk a beer.
im only 14, but i dont care.
i sat down, and wrote this song,
I feel the blues, and that ain't wrong!

(the end)

I made this in honor of Frankie.
let us remember him as the weirdo, with the beardo.

lol, nice!

Wow, wtf are you talking about Halo is a great game, and Halo3 is also great! "Halo is dead"? are you insane? Gears will never beat Halo no matter how good people think it is!

TO THE NEIGHBOR'S!!!

I've been reading Frankie's textual splendor for what seems like several years now. It never occured to me that I would see an end to it.

Thanks for it all Frankie, tonight I'm picking up a bottle of 99 bananas and toasting to continued success. Cheers monkey man

Oh relax, everyone. He's entitled to his opinion. Anyway, I think they both rock, regardless of which team Frankie's on.

NO!

You aren't alowed to leave us! What about the podcast jingle? With the clever "And frankie.."

Well whereever you end up going, I'm sure they'll be envious of your frankieness. Oh, and can I have the antidote now? Love ya.

Ok, have you ever thought that just maybe for once not a lot of people like Ranked Big Team? I mean, 16 players going against each other with a good chance of lag. Seriously? Team swat (the easiest thing to rank up in) is ranked? Yet, possibly the most popular playlist in Halo 2, Team Snipers, is not even a playlist. I have probably talked to 2 hundred people since the double exp snipers weekend about making snipers a playlist and they have all agreed with me. Though it is a small fraction of the players that play halo 3, I am almost certain that if I interviewed 200 people and not one of them said no to the idea, then we can all make an accurate assumption to the truth: A ranked team snipers playlist would make players happy, and take their minds off being angry at Ranked Big Team (whether it be because they cannot find matches or just because they hate it). I mean I know this is just my opinion, to which I am entitled, but maybe this could be a pole on the home page? I hope I am heard for once on a bungie.net forum and someone can actually agree with me. Thanks in advance to anyone who reads this, whether you agree or not.

"it's been a swell ride" (Captain Ahab, Moby Dick, p698, paragraph 2)

I haven't posted here at Bungie.net for ages, so coming back to discover that the de facto Circus Master has left the premises is both disappointing and sad. Not "wilted flower" sad, but macho-super-action-hero sad.

Suffice to say, at one time, I couldn't get enough of this place. The Weekly Updates were like a tiny candle shining light on the underside of humanity. Sort of. Haha. I mean, who ever knew that useful information could be disguised as potty humor in such a delicate fashion? Pure freakin genius, that Frankie was!

At one time, I considered leaving my nice job at a major movie studio to work at Bungie and help direct cinematics. Ah well...countless E3's, GDC's and one Zero Hour later, I still wonder about all the stupid fart jokes I missed out on, for not having landed at Bungie.

But last year at E3, I interviewed Frankie and Brian Jarrard for my now-defunct blog-

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1077/1383851380_fd789a2e54_o.j pg

Yeah, he's is waving a plasma pistol at me for intimidation. Classic!

But enough of that. Microsoft is VERY fortunate to have the likes of Frank in their midst.

Best of luck, and first chance you get, be sure to hit up the Company Store for some Vista SP1 -- because as we all know, the "good stuff" never stays on the shelf for very long.
