If only Sony had shown something great, than MS wouldn't have pulled the Bungie announcement. I guess they just didn't need it at this moment cause Sony is too weak. I hope for an announcement at GC or X08 (if that event takes place this year).

is this true?

MS was absolutely embarrassed by what Bungie had to announce and show. The upper echelon made a command decision to forbid Bungie from showcasing their latest, upcoming title, due to "an overwhelming potential for embarrassment", even for an unfinished product. Bungie was informed that until they have something worth showing, keep the announcement on hold. MS apparently was appalled by the decision of Bungie to "even think of showing this off". What they have to show looks so bad, MS was just plain embarrassed to "show it off". Bungie may make an announcement if/when they can showcase a little of the product, as long as that show and tell doesn't involve "embarrassing visuals..."

So turns out that it may be a good thing this got put on hold. I cant imagine how bad this Bungie game must of looked for MS to stop the announcement, but it mustve been horrible


Ok, lets see... Name one thing from Bungie that was an embarrassment... now name one thing from MS that was an embarrassment...


Which one is easier to do?


HALO 3. Cough..


Go back to the hole you crawled out of.

Ever notice that an anagram for Harold Ryan is "Halo Ran Dry"?

"Lamh Laidir An Uachtar"

Now, we can all argue and hoot and holler and point fingers at who's to blame for this, OR we can say "Hey, Bungie does a lot for us, maybe we should wait it out..."

I mean, no one said they had to release their older map pack for free, and then an awesome 3-map pack, (and I suppose you could say "Oh, you have to pay for it...", but still, no one said they had to even provide the opportunity. Maps you have to pay for are better than no maps at all, and it's not really breaking the bank or anything, only 800 pts.) and furthermore add in gametypes fans had been craving like SWAT and H2H.

They've been doing a lot for us lately. I think it's time we sat back and said "Alright Bungie, we understand. Take all the time you need." They'll get it to us, but we have to be patient. Don't have a heart attack because this has been postponed. Keep in mind the fact that we're even getting a new Halo project, that's pretty sweet in itself.

As they say, Good things come to those who wait. Perhaps it could be that Bungie figured it wasn't ready to come to us. Heck, i'd rather they take the time to polish it off and fix all the bugs than send it out prematurely.

Sit. Relax. Wait. Be patient.

And in the meantime, Luke, I got both your back and the collective back of Bungie. And if anyone says otherwise, I got a nice sack of doorknobs that's just dying to be swung.

Let's not take for granted all that Bungie has given us.

I agree with Sir Slaughter. That in the movies thing was absolutely horrible. If that article is true, which im betting it's not, Bungie would have had to show something unspeakably horrid to be as bad as that game.

Sorry bungie but you suck. You say that every week that "We have big things coming down the road, just wait for it, it's coming" Well to be honest with you keep your -blam!- mouth shut if you don't have anything, because that is exactly what you had, NOTHING. We are all sick of it and I for one never believed you in the first place, I never do.

Everyone needs to stop and think for a moment. This is a smart move by Microsoft. For one, this shows they can still be the center of attention without their main flagship franchise being center stage.

I would bet me left kidney that Microsoft had Bungie prepare in case Nintendo or Sony had a huge E3 press briefing with some big suprise announcement. If you saw both confereneces yesterday, they sucked compared to Microsofts (Sony's was alright but Nintendo's was an epic fail). Microsoft didn't need to pull out the big guns this time. Gears, FInal Fantasy, Fallout, and Fable were enough.

This isn't to say that I'm not as dissapointed as everyone else. I was really looking forward to the announcement. Then again, the new project is for sure the NTSC squad based shooter thats been rumored...so I'm not sure what everyone was expecting out of the announcemnt.

I think it's time to look another publisher guys.

Anyway, We still <3 Bungie.

I have no time for filling out information, I'm too busy... bein' delicious.

Has anybody accept me noticed the superindentant icons flashing threwout the site? For example refresh the page and watch the Bungie symbol in the top left corner for a couple of minutes. You should see it, but it only lasts for like a half a second.

Obviously this is another ARG planned many years ago, when Ryan was just being born. The powers that be are crafty.

I've been waiting for this announcement but I guess you are going to let us down by not delivering stuff on time. AGAIN. Like you do with a million other things. You've become as pointless as EA Games. Oh well, I guess we'll all just have to wait.


Hang your head in shame. Bungie doesnt work this hard for the likes of you. If you wanna be a troll, do it at EA Games. Im sure theyd love you there

Wow, do you not read? Microsoft wouldn't ALLOW them to announce it. Jesus kid, think before you type.

I was quite disappointed when I saw the announcement pull earlier today but hey, these things happen. I'm sure that things will just be that much sweeter when you do finally get your announcement out in the open.

I'm sure (or hopeful at least) that the majority of us here in the bnet community are behind you anyway, with the exception of a few idiots and moaners (OMG U SUK BUNGIE, MICROSOFT OWN U USELES PPL LOLOLOL).

Looking forward to the eventual announcement guys!

  • 07.16.2008 11:44 AM PDT

I saw that thing flash on the Bungie logo too, I thought I was just losing my mind.

READ:

Sending me a group invite or some kind of other pointless, time wasting advert gets you blocked. Don't bother wasting your time. kthnxbai

*sigh* Fail.

Everyone would have been better off if you had just announced it anyway. I read somewhere that Bungies announcement would cause "too much excitement" or something like that.

Seriously, I have never heard somebody say "Oh Teh Noes! I are too excited!"

I really, really hate having my hopes put up, and then have then shoved back down because of some retard who works for Microsoft, or whoever this "publisher" is.
