Hopefully it's not too long. I can wait a few weeks. Or microsoft gets off the waaambulance, puts it's big boy pants on, and lets Bungie say what they need to say.

SI has said these things.
-Keep It Clean
-Pardon Out Dust
-Expect Delays
-Remain Calm

Put these all together and the SI has been saying this message to us:

Expect delays because they were planning on making this fake delay. Keep it clean because people will be swearing and saying -blam!- about Bungie because of the anger of this so-called delay. Remain calm because its still coming, just don't go overboard because you think Bungie is really delaying this. Pardon our dust because by saying that this announcement was delayed they kicked up dust and caused controversy.

This honestly fits in real well with what the SI is saying.

I really wish that was true, but every forum mod and bungie employee is saying that the delay is for reals, and I've never known them to straight up lie, mislead, yes, but lie, not so much

Live for nothing die for something.

It's all good with the fans Bungie...
We'll just be even more hyped next time!

F#cking Microsoft

  • 07.16.2008 12:19 PM PDT

I don't want random messages (ie, Join my group, etc). I have begun blocking solicitations.

You guys that are saying "leak" can't honestly think Bungie is stupid enough to do that. If they were to do so, MS would be fuming; they'd cook themselves alive in MS' oven.

No Elites in Halo 3: ODST = FAIL


Posted by: lukems
No Internet, yanking the countdown timer yesterday was not a joke. We wish it was, though.


click for full story


Seems a little too convenient that Bungie's announcement was pushed back just after the Resistance 2 gameplay footage.....

Looks to me like one of Microsoft's big wigs _sh i t the load and pushed back Halo 4's reveal (Oh come on! Its pretty obvious now we're starting another fight!) which was probably supposed to bring everybodies attention back to Microsoft after Sony and Nintendo's (LOOK HOW MUCH MONIES WE HAVES) Press conferences.

I think this says more about the quality of Halo 4 than anything....... doesn't bood well at all, well at least my anticipations been shot! Maybe this time I wont be quite as disappointed. ;-)

No man. I dont think this is going to be a joke. I think that something is really going on.

  • 07.16.2008 12:20 PM PDT

I've got a bad feeling about how long it's going to take for the announcement to happen this time. Maybe we'll forget about it and then the big announcement will be on the front page and then we'll all remember. Because I really hate when they say something big is about to happen then something goes wrong and it doesn't happen. Just surprise us with things like these so we don't build up all the hype and the antisapation for nothing. I do want to say thanks for Bungie for posting something on the homepage last night so I didn't get up early for nothing and be all mad and hating Bungie. What I (and most everyone) wants to know is why didn't the publisher want Bungie show off this new game? What was the reason for this?

  • 07.16.2008 12:20 PM PDT

I feel old.

Well that sucks. So its because Microsoft didn't want you to steel the show, I guess thats a complement of sorts. I knew The end of microsoft's press conference felt awkward. What a bummer well, Cant wait to see what it is you guys have planned im sure its freakin awesome

and 4 all u dumb butts they confirmed halo 4 already

  • 07.16.2008 12:23 PM PDT

First, we should probably hand it to Don Mattrick for at least acknowleging a Halo game by Bungie. He doesn't seem like the guy to make that kind of decision, too.

way to mess up again

  • 07.16.2008 12:23 PM PDT

I had already posted this once, but I will put it here also, per a "Forum Ninja's" suggestions.

Bungie wrote:

Top Questions we've received on this matter:

1. OMG! The announce was posted at 7! This is all part of the plan.

The news was broken to us shortly before 7 p.m. and we decided to keep with tradition to make a clean break.

2. Why leave the splash page up if it's not happening?

We left the splash page up for the folks who didn't see the message or were planning on tuning in the following morning before the news vanished into Bungie.net's ether.


1. Why would you keep the tradition? Knowing this would create chaos, why in the world would you do it on seven, Bungie's holy number? People expect good things to happen when you do things like this. For example, just earlier on 7/7/08 (Bungie Day) you released Bungie Day Gamerpic7ures for free, and also the Bungie Day Theme for free. Which eludes onto number two.

2. That is a great question. Why would you leave it up? They purposely left it up for people to come home and think "Holy cow! Could this be what I think it is?!" Sorry, but no. You get a letter posted on top of the splash page that only adds to the confusion. Not to mention stopping the countdown timer at such a coincidental time. This could have been dealt with so much better if they had simply removed the page, and put a detailed story up on the regular web page about what just happened.

So you look through the forums and find posts with about four words or less - "It's not a joke." That's it. No details or anything. You should have seen this onslaught of confusion, frustration, and chaos coming.

Highly disappointed,

Even though I was disappointed and looking forwards to this announcement A LOT, I know Bungie didn't mean for it to go down like this, it was still fun and I look forward to the announcement
