You know what? I'm not buying it.
There's something in this update methinks. The last paragraph mentions that they're hard at work at three separate projects though it doesn't go so far as to indicate that they're working on three different games per se.

I'm thinking that they're working on (one of which might have something to do with this winter):
1) Updates the Halo 3 that they hinted at in last weeks update.
2) The Halo game that MS blocked the announcement of/spoiled the announcement of.
3) Some other game that the internets (if you listen to them) would have us believe is a 2-D platformer for XBLA.

That last one is pretty far-fetched but hey... I'm just spitballing here. Anyone think that the URL at the bottom of the E3 video poster-thing has anything going on with it? Its probably just a joke put there for lulz but I've been tinkering with it and my browser to see if it leads anywhere.

Some weeks there just isn't much, if anything, going on, let alone things that can be spoken about. We were all hands on deck for E3, and well you know how that ended. There's a tiny nugget in here, otherwise perhaps the weekly update becomes the "sporadic update-when-things-are-happening update."

Of course updates are even harder when there's no publicly announced content to discuss.


And why cant you announce your own content?

What probably would have eased the pain would have been a map reveal.

Nice, I got sixth! Aw.. Sniper, you beat me to #1, but considering how you are my group leader I guess you deserve it.
Nice comment! Very on-topic!!

Anyway, I can't wait to see what Bungie has in store for us; it sounds epic!!! (which is way too overused, however on this occasion I beleive it is actually true...)

Well I'm just gonna hop on the bandwagon and state the obvious...not a whole lot of depth in the update. The wallpapers add a nice touch though, already have one on my desktop background.

Whats with the Bungie Logo too? It always randomly flashes the SI

Props to Sketch.

Not much for critically reading a passage, are you?

Posted by: Rye Br3ad
I think Marty has shorted you guys out on your Flintstones Vitamins because your updates are lacking, just like your responses.

I pretty much knew all about what you guys at Bungie had stated in that weekly update.


There's not much to dissect from your update because for the past week, I and many other users have been doing so, from everything you previously fed to us.

If you would like to turn your update into an SAT, I'd be glad to see you do so because at least there is some standardization there.

  • 07.18.2008 6:08 PM PDT

omg guys you ppl are so stupid. you need to reall READ the updates not to mention LOOK at everything, EVERYTHING in them. i guess i'm just to used to the intellegent conversations in the compundintellegence forum unlike here.... sigh

We're just tired of doing that since its what we've been doing for the last week

  • 07.18.2008 6:10 PM PDT

In all fairness lads, I would've thought they were doing you a favour even putting out weekly updates in the first place, not many others would keep that level of contact, let alone foster and nurture such a thriving community. CHARLIE MURPHY!!!

How come whenever you speak, nothing comes out?


I speak at a frequency fools can't hear.


real talk
Is this "real talk" thing the reason Achronos changed Lukems' title yet again? I can't keep track anymore

Look at the bottom of the 'movie poster', people. It's nice and big, and it's all capitalized. Can anyone guess what it is?

Work hard on those 3 projects!

I can really see how disappointed you guys are, especially since you are posting a lot more than normal.

The end reminds me of Star Wars.

Truthfully I was disappointed with this week's update. No new information was released, we didn't learn about the changes to the Halo 3 online experience, and there wasn't a whole lot in the update. Still so many questions and not enough answers so far...


That's fine, next week will be just questions from users for the Update since we're all out of office on Friday. That said, none of the questions I answer will be about the seven "things" from last week, this week's events, or the end of the Weekly Update.


I wasn't trying to be rude with my post. I was just hoping for a little more, but I understand that there are weeks when not much can be revealed. That being said I always look forward to the updates and I'm excited for what ya'll have in the works. I know ya'll were even more frustrated with the events from this week as the community but I just need to be patient and trust you will reveal all when the time is right.

Playing WoW gives you back your virginity.

It was an okay update. I suppose we couldn't expect much, but what you have given us should be enough digital blood to satisfy the thirst of the internet until the next full moon.
To be honest, it was disappointing and reassuring at the same time. It proved that you still care about your fan base enough to release at least something minor for us but yet the true news has yet to reach our ears/eyes: Halo 3 for PC?
Hope to see something interesting soon though. Don't pull a Valve on us, Bungie. =P
