I can't wait to see what you have in store for us. Take all the time you need to bring what sounded like a very exciting announcement exciting again (Sorry to hear about your publisher pulling the plug). I'm willing to wait. Anyone with half a brain will realize the kind of crap you're having to dredge through while making games for fans who claim that "BUNGIE PEOPLE JUST WANT YOUR MONIES" and yet, they end up eating their own words the moment you release your latest work.

Good update guys. :)

That last sentence reminded me of Doctor Who, when the Face of Boe told the Doctor 'You are not alone'.

Well, good night everyone. I gotta get back to cutting up some new dialog.


Oops, did I just say that?
Thanks for being so awesome...

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

When will they announce it?

SPOILER ALERT: Bungie's new project will have dialog! ZOMG!

I like how Bungie communicates with their community. Of course, the sarcasm, thinly veiled metaphors, and teasing get old, but better that than silence.

That movie need to be in theaters!
D: We need to know the publisher of your next game, that way we can riot at their building.

Did Gerome really have an increase of justice taking this week?

Lo, there is still another.


Preceded by a ".luke" domain reference....I sense a disturbance in Slipspace....

There can only be one conclusion: Halo: Return of the Dead Guy!

Preceded by Halo: A New Soap(opera) and Halo: The Umpire Strikes Back

Wow, another lazy update, please replace Frank with some one who actually wants to work and not OVERTLY try to show off as a human thesaurus. Fail
Fail indeed... On your part.
Frankie doesn't work at Bungie since about 4 months ago.
Plus, there would have been more to write about if Microsoft hadn't canceled Bungie's announcement.

No, now YOU fail as well, I said replace Frankie with some one who wants to work, and who was Frankie replaced with? Luke. I'm stating that Frankie's replacement should be some one who actually wants to work and give us something good not a bunch of jibberish. So go back to school and learn how to read before you get a massive fail.

What Could Have Been.
An open letter to those disappointed/frustrated with the update

Dear aggravated reader, I hope you are able to swim through your ocean of arrogance and read this letter.

I will get right down to the point. Stop blaming Bungie for everything.
You have been -blam!-ing and whining for hours now, about how brief of a Weekly Update there was.
It is not Bungie's fault in any way whatsoever.
Microsoft was the publisher who pulled the plug on the announcement, not to mention the follow-up conference that Bungie would have had, if you don't know that by know.
Microsoft. Not Bungie.

Bungie had all of the preparations made. They were completely ready. Unfathomably excited, too.
They were obviously caught off-guard with this whole thing, and it must have felt pretty damn bad to be used by Microshaft the way that they were. Envision a mile-high tower of glinting diamonds and gold constructed, then swiftly blown up from the base.
Where am I going with this? It should be apparent by now.

Imagine if everything went perfectly. If Microsoft wasn't the king of all money-grubbing attention whores that it is. Let's say the announcement goes on, Sony and Nintendo are blown out of the water.
The Bungie follow-up conference follows, showing the masterpiece that they have only just revealed to the world.
Then comes Friday, and with it one of the best damn Weekly Updates ever on Bungie.net.
So much text, that they need to add an entirely new page for the article.
All of us are extremely auspicious after reading it, and can't ask for more.

My point is, it is NOT Bungie's fault that this update is so concise. They didn't cancel the announcement which lead to this.
Stop giving the employees of Bungie Studios crap. They do not deserve it. Let me re-phrase that, we don't deserve them.

They have sweat, bled, and possibly even urinated a little bit to prepare all of this.
We the fans have waited months for this, how hard would it be to wait another month at minimum?
Any fan would go that far. Any true fan at least.

—The Waffle King


Bungie, you guys are amazing and immensely talented. Keep up the good work, and I can't wait to see what you have in store for us over the next few months.
I less than three you guys. Srsly.

Here are some knee pads, and a napkin for your mouth, even after all this.... you can't haz Recon!

A&A

"Lo, there is still another."

I'm curious to know what he's implying here. Another Halo game or what? Help me out here, I'm smelling Halo 4.

Another Spartan IMO, in Star Wars they were referring to Leia as being "another" aside from Luke.

Like many others on this thread, I just want to know what this "mysterious project is". It sounds too big to be a map pack. Halo 4? Probably not, Halo 3 hasn't even been around for a year. Perhaps it is a campaign expansion that will solve many unanswerd questions of the Halo universe. Also, remember Bungie announcing a possible comeback of the Marathon series?

It will be nice to get this horrific burden off of my shoulders once this mystery is solved.

they had the -blam!- nerve to completely pull the all the exciting suspenseful air out of their sails by announcing that Bungie is working on another Halo game.


Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait... What?

They did? when? where? Send me a message.

"Fear the wrath of the dead! Or as I like to call it the living impared."

I wonder what it means my "Lo, there is another."

Maybe another Spartan other then John 117 floating about in space.
