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!!!

Exactly, it still bugs the -blam!- out of me when people look at something that a group of people go out of their way to do for no other reason than for their fans' enjoyment and have the nerve to whine about it like they were cheated out of something that they earned in the first place.

Coming from the guy who fails at grammar.

when on a forum one doesn't always have to use proper grammer. It can get frustrating when trying to post quickly.

Oh the teasing! Foreword=Forerunner? A forerunner game? Oh, if only.


Future Tents= Squad based camping simulator?

Ugh. No, he was referring to future game developer conferences.

It’s really going to be a footrace though to see if we can show our other rad thing first, or if E3 2008: Livin’ The Dream™ surfaces first (safe bet is on mockumentary E3 2008: Livin’ The Dream™ not surfacing anytime soon).
I'm pickin' up what cha layin' down! *winks*

Lo, there is still another.
and OMG Lo is going to be there.

I figured out the next project! You guys are making The Hills: The Drama Goes Xbox Live game and Lo Bosworth from the show is going to help announce it soon!

Not much for critically reading a passage, are you?

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.



Honestly dude, I'm getting really tired of reading your posts that are nothing but -blam!-ing.
You haven't said a single thing that is worth responding to, and I'm surprised Achronos has bothered to as many times as he has.

You're all but calling the entire Bungie Staff falldown retards, and it's completely uncalled for.

There's lots in the update, you're just to dense to use your peanut sized brain to ponder what was said in the update.

Unless it's said to your face
*not actual bungie statement*

"WE'RE MAKING HALO 4, BUT IT WILL BE FROM THE COVENANT SIDE."

You won't give a -blam!-, and just keep being disrespectful to a bunch of hardworking individuals(minus lukems :P) that quite literally dedicate their entire lives to making games and content for unappreciative fools like yourself.

I've said it to other people, and I'll say it to you.

You're the kind of person that makes people not want to play Halo, or come to these forums.
Get out of here.

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


ok then lets discuss....

i believe that the words Prologue and Foreword in the last paragraph is link to what happened to the spartans before the halo ring or a link to chief traveling back in time theory in which case he can stop the events on halo never happening... oh wait... but then he wouldnt go back in time dam parodox... and even worse no halo...nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

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.



Understandable but I think things would quite down a bit about the announcement if maybe a screenshot or 2 of a new multi-player map were thrown into this update. Just for something else for the community to talk about.

Coupled with the poster stating that E3 2008: Livin' The Dream will be released in the winter...means something's coming before or during the winter. I think.

I'm always keeping up to date on what's going on with the main site, but ever so often I come to the forum's and every time I do it severely annoys the hell out of me.

In all honesty I don't see why Bungie even keep's doing these update's. It's always the same thing with everyone -blam!-ing and moaning asking where it is and when it get's here the -blam!-ing and moaning continues because it wasn't a full blown confession of what's going on. Like most I want as much info as possible, but you have to think in reality here and realize they aren't going to spill every piece of info possible in every single update. The fact they even keep their fan's up to date on what's going on is quite amazing for a developer and should be appreciated way more than it is.

There are developer's that go month's if not year's without really releasing any info on their games or even speaking much to any of their fan's, but here at Bungie.net you get a constant connection between the company and community. Overall I think anyone that constantly moan's should get a perma ban. You can express that you wished to see more without being an idiot with stuff like saying you lost respect for them and -blam!- like that.

I've lost all respect for Bungie. I love you guys, but I can't respect you as a developer anymore. You're just like everyone else now; only in it for the money.


Agree, so agree.
I miss the old bungie.... Crying Face ;-(

weekly updates are such utter crap lately. they don't say anything straight forward. they are just smart ass and stupid. im thinking that maybe they are supposed to be funny but they are the farthest thing from it that i could imagine. i used to be able to go here on friday and read sensible information and learn things and not mind taking 20 minutes or so of my life to read the update but now it is such a waste of time i can barely even get myself to see if there is an update. let alone actually torturing myslef to trudge through it. what is with all this crap lately? no one wants to listen or read your one-liners that only people working at bungie would know. we want to hear about new stuff, actual updates, halo, etc.... not "well we can't show you this, and we were going to do this, and maybe next time, and boo hoo its not our fault."

Close Signature

It's just the fact that in the Update, all that was said, is what we all already knew. The only thing that could possibly be new is WINTER.

Big deal, a seasonal reference point in time.

Has all of the inane ability of the kiss butt posters been displayed already, in this thread? I certainly hope so, because I fear the recollection of past debates slowly making an appearance.

I respect and thank you Bungie, for all of which you have created and done, thus far, for your fans. However, your update = basura.

There, decode that.

Don't pull a Valve on us, Bungie. =P


Perhaps we should pull a Blizzard and announce multiple projects, probably years before their release? :)

p.s. I love Blizzard.

  • 07.18.2008 6:26 PM PDT

so the announcement is going to be revealed during the winter time?

for the last time bungie need money to make new games, otherwise there bust any even though people moan -blam!- and take them for granted they still find the strength to keep the the 90% of ungratful wining, idiotic morans informed as well as the 10% that actually read the previous forum post, use there brains and listens to what bungie says. and yet again nobody will read this becaus they cant read a post that does mention a certain type of amour or that is more than a line long.
