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.


If you read correctly.. you'd see that Bungie got screwed by M$..
So Microsoft is letting you down (surprise surprise).

YEAH TO GUY ABOVE ME MICROSOFT WOULDNT DO THAT BECAUSE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT WOULDVE KILLED ANYTHING ANNOUNCED AT E3. AND TO THE GUY SAYING IM GONNA GET BANNED, I DONT CARE BECAUSE IM TIRED OF BUNGIE LETTING ME DOWN. IVE BEEN SINCE H1 YET THEY ALWAYS FAIL US

Like the others said have fun with your ban. Also ALL CAPS doesn't get your point across any better because it makes you look stupid in my opinion.

Now if Bungie did announce something at E3 there is no way it would have killed everything at E3. The only way I could see you saying something like this and are a huge Microsoft and Bungie fanboy. If you were to watch all the press conferences you would have seen that Sony and Microsoft both have things that halo wouldn't necessarily kill everything.

Here is a list of stuff it definitely wouldn't have made me or many others forget.
- FFXIII
- Socom Confrontation
- LittleBigPlanet
- Killzone 2
- Gears of War 2
- Fable 2
- Resistance 2
- Fallout 3

That's just the start of a list that not many people would forget about all because of a Bungie announcement. Not that I'm saying that they're announcement wouldn't have been huge I'm just saying that it wouldn't have made people forget about all the other awesome announcements.

The prophets abuse young grunts.

Well at least now I won't miss anything because I'm on "vacation" in Florida. Scew the sun, surf, and sand; I want Xbox LIVE, Halo 3 matchmaking, and internet. lol seriously though, this is one of the biggest dissappointments of my life. Maybe the the biggest, but "Sir, Finishing this Fight" is a close second....

You'll get your announcement when they can give you the announcement. Quit whining, it won't help...

  • 07.16.2008 1:57 PM PDT

Halo 3 multiplayer is frustrating.

Pretty -blam!- to put up a teaser for something and not know if were going to be showing it or not. And if it did happen to be MS doing, -blam!- em. Isn't this why you guys went independent? What are they going to do not publish your game?

Let the people knopw whats up, or quit doing your little teasers that end up being either lame, or turn out to be nothing.

bungie, you did your best and whaever it is you were gonna show would have blown our socks off.
now to ms.
microsoft, i dont own any of your computers im typing off a mac right now, you made the 360 with plenty of errors, the only good thing you ever did was partner up with bungie and even they left you. you have no friends now. Plus, you pulled the red carpet right underneath bungie and crushed the incredible explosion of glory they would have recieved at e3. this is why EVERYONE now hates you.

No Internet, yanking the countdown timer yesterday was not a joke. We wish it was, though.
I'm glad it wasn't. I would have been a hell of a lot more angry if you guys had the -blamming!- nerve to stop the counter and have us think the letter from the Bungie President was real when it wasn't. Whatever it was Bungie was announcing had enough hype and anticipation, messing with us in that fashion would have been next to unforgivable.

  • 07.16.2008 2:01 PM PDT

sad face. It beats angry, irate scream at the internet face, lol.

savor the anticipation some more i guess.

Hmm. I'm disappointed like everyone else here.

In response to the Microsoft-hate it's worth remembering that they're trying to run a business, and if they think their products stand the greatest chance of success by being kept under wraps for longer, they're perfectly at liberty to do so. What is apparent though is that communications have at some point broken down between the two parties, or someone was being far from professional. The important thing from here on is how the PR is handled, and it could be aruged that the post on the front door of bungie.net wasn't the most level-headed and professional way of handling the situation, but with creative people passions often take precedence.

There is always the possibility that whatever was going to be announced simply wasn't ready yet in Microsoft's eyes - let's face it, we'd all rather see something amazing at TGS than something that wasn't standout 'best at show' at E3.

Get Marathon Here
Get Marathon 2 and Infinity Here

Instead of reading the past 21 pages, could someone direct me to the appropriate method of contacting Microsoft Game Studio to express my dissatisfaction?

  • 07.16.2008 2:05 PM PDT

What I don't even get is why everybody (most) here say Microsoft is their publisher for this new project. Why assume this?

Ah yes, because it's an internet forum, and thus you know EVERYTHING.

  • 07.16.2008 2:05 PM PDT

/b/

My personal opinion on the whole situation is how the internet is getting all hyped up about something new in the Halo universe and theres nothing shown but an apology? E3 wouldve been the perfect time to show us this whole new thing you guys were making but I dont think I'll be as hyped as I was when I first found out you guys were making something new when you guys do show. No Offense to Bungie or any of you Fanboys, but Good Luck beating GoW 2 this year. Chainsaw FTW.

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

Um, no. Luke has confirmed that Microsoft is the publisher. Do some research and you might know this.

So does this mean no ARG? This really bites, for us and Bungie. It sucks for Bungie because they got all this stuff going and then had to pull the plug on it. And it sucks for us or me at least because I was really hyped up and now I'm just irritated. Who ever made the decision to pull the plug over on the publisher's end needs to be fired. :(

  • 07.16.2008 2:15 PM PDT

Apology accepted.

  • 07.16.2008 2:16 PM PDT

"Brick, where'd you get a hand grenade?"
"...I don't know."

I don't get how the announcement would kill the hype for all of the other games, seeing as practically everyone on the internet was already expecting something.

That sucks that Microsoft ruined all of your plans with the E3 video and the podcast...I'm guessing you even had a team down at E3 ready to present everything as well.

  • 07.16.2008 2:20 PM PDT

lol

Why is everyone blaming microsoft for this? I thought the whole reason bungie broke off from microsoft was because they didn't like microsoft telling them what to do. It doesn't make much sense they would team up again after that.
