Excuse me for having some maturity and actually realizing what is going on and being happy for what I get rather than constantly complaining about what I don't get. Sure I would of loved some info on why thing's went as they did at E3 and I would also love some info on when we are going to finally see what they have to show, but we aren't going to get it now and there is absolutely no excuse for being a jackass. You don't bite the hand that feed's you or you may starve.

You're like a little kid that get's a lot of present's during Christmas, but yet still find something to complain about. Parent's seriously need to step up their game because this generation is going down the drain with no respect or self control.
I really think Its funny that people will come onto these forums and complain about how other people complain. Its called freedom of speech, people can express their opinions even if the majority of people don't agree with them. Welcome to the real world it isn't perfect but it is all you got.

Real Talk


Can you blame me for wanting to be part of the community but not have to communicate with crazed lunatic's constantly. I complain because the real truth is I would love to be part of this community, but the lack of intelligent conversation's really put me off.

I have absolutely no problem with people expressing their opinion since that's the point of a conversation, but saying everything in a immature and negative fashion adds nothing to the conversation nor is it productive.

Whatever though, I know people on here wont change so Ill continue to just be part of the community by following the main page instead. If this type of conversing brings you enjoyment then God speed to you.
I am sorry for your ignorance because you obviously do not know how forums work, maybe someday when you accept reality, you can take yourself off the pedestal and come into these forums. Me on the other hand will not elevate myself above other users by blatantly say I am better than you, that is not how it works. I will let my logical and developed arguments speak for me.

Personally for me, and I'm sure this speaks for a great deal many people, Bungie.net is the only developer website I check almost daily to see what's going on. Several times a week they publish news to their site about what's new at the studio and while I may not read every article they post on the site I think it speaks volumes about who they are as a developer.

Face it, a "Halo 4" announce or anything close to that would have been like dropping a deuce on the competition. I can see why they're hand would be forced to withhold this information. Maybe Gears 2 would have been a good rival but why even try to compete? Am I disappointed? Of course. I follow the ARG's and little tid-bits. I ALWAYS read the weekly updates if just to skim over them. This was looking to be big.

Some of the Bungie staff that have lashed a couple of the more disappointed fans should really rethink that. I mean - not to say you should bring your outside voice inside, but c'mon, what did you expect after pulling the chair out from under them?

Otherwise I'll be standing by, a loyal fan of the Halo series, waiting for the next great thing to come out of Bungie Studios.

Can we expect to know all by Christmas what Bungie is working? Maybe a new Halo FPS????? Will we know anything regarding the big anouncement that had us wanting to know at E3 soon, let's say in a couple of months?

As a dude said earlier in response to you or one of the other ignorant people that posted, freedom of speech works both ways, you can critise bungie all you like but we can critisise you for being at least semi retarded in your reasoning.

Plus, incase you haven't read the top of the screen, we have no freedom of speech ^.^

Peace

The bright side of this is when you guys finally DO show us what your working on, it'll be 10 times more awesome then it would have been a few days ago. That makes me even more excited.

So basically you are telling me you would rather have a bunch if random spastic comment's than a regular setting conversation? I have not come in here to say I am better than anyone else. I have come in here expressing my annoyance's of this forum due to the lack of control coming from some people. There are people on here that I could find a lot of respect for with the way the present themselves. You can have a negative conversation without it actually being negative. THAT is how a functioning form of conversation work's. A forum is to have conversation's and debate's over subject's (note the key word "debate" not "argument".) If you think a forum is for people to come on here and yell and scream at each other then you are sadly mistaken.

I bet you anything that If I go into any one of the sub forum's on here I can find at least 10-20 topics on the first page that have at least half of the comment's in them with people yelling and cursing at each other and calling each other idiots or whatever.

Im not an elitist in no fashion, I am very humble if you get to know me. I am though very much into respectable conversation's and debate's. Everyone is capable of being respectful yet have their own opinion expressed and to choose not to really gain's you nothing.

Short Update, but WHAT an update nonetheless.

MS needs to remember these 2 things

BUNGIE = HALO = XBOX

and

Halo 3 redefined the multiplayer experience.

Hope to see a new thing in PAX (cross fingers >_<)

I remember a time when i was young playing halo with at my house. I spent hours with my friend trying to get the warthog in to the vally i where master chief first set foot on halo. when halo two came out i didnt get it right away because i had no money and poor ass parents, but when i did i spent days lan partying and months on live. When halo 3 hit i stayed all night outside in the cold with no one, in sequim washington, to wait to get the game. I'm now heading off to the navy. All i want to say is there is a passion behind these games that i dont think anyother game company has and even though over the years the company has changed they still have what it takes to make the next greatest adventure in gaming. and even if im in singapor when its release im gonna wait out in the swealtering heat for it.

I support Bungie!

I don't care what any of you say about bungie because they spend way more time caring for their fans and updating them every week I mean look even if the update isnt good the employes comments are entertaining. Show me a developer that cares as much or more for their fans than bungie( evidence to back it up) and i'll give you a hundred dollars. And no matter how much you -blam!- and whine they don't stop doing stuff for us, if you ask me they do to much for the way you act.

I love you guys keep up the good work and don't listen to these 14 year old nerds that don't know a good company when they see one.

Yes, that is exactly what I was referring to earlier. And yes, I do realize that Bungie has the right institute limitations on that freedom but on none of that censors any specific side of an argument (meaning you have to hear both sides of the argument whether you agree with the other side or not) so in this case that piece of information was insignificant which is why I did not mention it.

They did say they were going to be at PAX so I hope we get some info there. Hopefully the change of plan's didn't effect any of their future plan's.

I respect that. I can truly understand what it was like to have a door slammed in front of Bungie's face as you guys were about to take over the world!!! It's not everyday you have a chance to announce something big and have it just taken away with outn a fair warning. Working on something that can get the fans excited is overwhelming, but then it cancels and all that hard planning and work doesn't pay off, so I offer my best and hope that someday soon we all will know about Bungie's new Halo FPS..............lol

Keep it Clean dudes!!

Ugh, all of this -blam!-gery on the part of MS... Anyone know if the previously hinted at things that Bungie was supposedly to show at PAX are still in the pipe? Also has anyone managed to find out why Bungie has to listen to Microsoft when dealing with their works in progress? It seems that if MS threatens to pull out of their publishing agreement that Bungie wouldn't have too hard of a time finding another company to publish for them.

Well MS and Bungie are still supposedly at good relation's with each other so there really would be no reason for them to break off just because of a delay of an announcement. Now if they tried to interfere with the actual process of the game it would be a reason for them to break off. That is unless it's a Halo game then they are sorta stuck since MS owns the right's to it.

I hope they are working their E3 announcement into PAX since they already had something planed.

I don't think many of you guys got all that you could out of that last paragraph. It clearly states that Bungie is working on THREE projects that we don't know about.

Project1-one is so close you can feel its familiar warmth on your cheek while you sleep
Project2-another so far off and foreign that like a faint star in deep space, you can only look to the heavens as its light speeds ever closer.
Project3-Lo, there is still another

Although I have no idea what these could all be, it makes me extremely happy to know that instead of just one project that is being worked on and having us argue over what it is, that three of our ideas could actually be correct. Just think about of all the suggestions of projects that the community has thought to be plausible, instead of one there's three. I'm thinking the squad based shooter, some new update disc for halo 3, and something else which I have no idea about.
