What the -blam!- guys, where did MS find these people to make these lame ass decisions?

Hmm... i do wonder where they find these people to work at MS. Oh, doesn't Frankie work there? So are you insulting Frankie by saying he works at MS and makes lame ass decisions or because you neglect the fact that he does work for MS? lol
So what if its been held back? People have been waiting for halo 3 since the moment they finished Halo 2. It took a while, but look! Halo 3 eventually did come out and it's a phenomenal game! When the next big announcement comes out, it will be big. And dont think that cuz they were delayed they are just gonna sit on their asses. The more cool stuff they develop in that time, the more they will have to show us!

I am hoping to God that they decide to release the big news at PAX...

I think it would make more sense as it's more open to the public, and closer to home for the Bungie boys to represent in full.

I know I'm late to replying to the update but did anyone else have a hard time figuring out anything about what the update was talking about. Maybe I'm just tired but after reading that update I'm like.... what?

No. Maybe they meant another game! *gasp!+lol* Another spartan, you give me great lulz.

Through a circus eye, I saw everything

Whatever happened this last week, I think the whole "E3 announcement" debacle was handled poorly by everyone. If Microsoft did in fact surprise you by canceling your announcement, then that was -blam!- of them. That being said, to throw a cryptic note up saying ''those plans were changed by our publisher'' was kind of third grade. You are a multi-multi-million dollar company and were just granted independence again. So your plans got changed, deal with it like professionals and (if you were wronged) be the bigger person and save everyone face. Yeah, you weren't the stars of this E3, but did you need to be? I'm sure there is more that's happened or is happening behind the scenes than will ever see the light of day, but in this instance (at least in this fans opinion) you lost some credibility and it's sad because it didn't need to happen.

With great power comes great responsibility.

Think about that as you go forward and make whatever games, movies, net-communities that you are or will be working on. You know you are good, you know we will support you. Stay hungry, stay true and most importantly stay humble.

Wow, way to bash bungie. Would you tell us all how the letter that was posted was not professional? (don't worry bungie, nobody in the real-world thinks less of you). It was sincere and to the point that Microsoft pulled the announcement, which doesn't take away from Bungie's credibility. If you don't like the way Bungie does stuff, well... stop playing halo. It is that easy.

Everybody sensible in the world understands that they should be bashing on Microsoft for pulling the plug on the announcement - Bungie is just as disappointed at what happened.

Dear Bungie,

I'm very sad that you didn't reveal your new game.

Sincerely,
Poffy "Danger" Cakes.

Wow, yellow text!

Luke you are like a son to me. You just wrote the best update I've ever read, and I've read a lot.

Keep the faith.

Wow. In the real world you're still an idiot. If you'd bothered to actually read what I wrote, you'd have seen that I said everyone handled the situation poorly (that means both Bungie and Microsoft). Also WTF does anything I wrote have to do with playing Halo?

As for your wanting to know how the letter wasn't professional, see if you can wrap your feeble mind around this.

In the ''real world'' you don't throw your business partners under the bus. I don't care if Microsoft did pull Bungie's announcement at the last minute. There is a word you obviously have never heard of, it's called LOYALTY. Yeah Bungie can be butt-hurt and they can complain to Microsoft about it, but to do it publicly was stupid. Here is a news-flash for you; It was Microsoft's press event and it's their platform, that means they get to decide what they want to show. You didn't hear Msoft bashing Bungie did you? Think they were pissed-off at the post? Probably. The fact of the matter is that no matter what differences the two companies may have, they have both been immensely beneficial to each other. Halo:CE helped put XBox on the map, but Msoft also helped establish Bungie as one of if not the premier game company today. To say that Bungie should be bashing Msoft has got to be one of the most ignorant comments I have ever heard. Let me ask you this? Do you play Halo 3? What system do you play it on? If you are a fan of the 360, you should be pretty -blam!- disturbed by what went down. So please muffin man, stop when you hear the pop.

Bungie,

I will say again, you should hold yourselves to higher standards than that. If getting pats on the back from idiots like muffin man give you any sense of right out of this, then good luck on the road ahead cuz karma is a b!t@#.

The part I don't understand the most is that Msoft just gave Bungie their independence back. I wasn't in the room when the deal went down, but I'm pretty sure that was very benificial to Bungie and that Msoft didn't have to do it. Bungie is free to spread their wings and control their own future now. They are an industry giant and they have great power in that industry, but again the old axiom...

With great power...

[quote]Lo, there is still another.[quote]

Doesn't that remind anyone of the Cortana Letters?
[quote]There was a fourth. You couldn't have known. And I haven't forgotten.[quote]
That is quoted from the second Cortana Letter.

Reading that made me think of it instantly.
Anyway, maybe it's just me.

that hippopotamus is from halo 2's headlong map.
*gasps*
they might be remaking headlong for halo 3!
yay! =D

Me personally think the hippo stands for wideload games, the people the left bungie after halo. And recently they announced they had a "secondary" studio to make small games for xbox live arcade and stuff. Maybe bungie is working with them again, to make something or maybe its what he said a headlong remake, i dont know but bungie does.

PS. I was at the wideload site and found that they have the games they are making and made on the right they have one called Project: hot sauce and the rainbow space car which is slated to coming soon. I can only imagine if bungie's unannounced title is this hot sauce and rainbow space car. Or maybe i am just looking into the hippo to much.

I am not sure what is more entertaining...

An announcement from Bungie about what they are working on?

Or the circus of rage that ensues when throngs of fanboys don't get what they think they are entitled to?

Oh, and the letter posted to the site was a perfectly reasonable explanation of events. If people are going to take up the pitchforks and look for heads to roll, you have to expect people to deflect.
