Ive noticed that i cant understand what u are talking about during such posts. Some seem off topic like a response to a different question or you say something obvious and just end the response. Not to be mean but i would like to see some more detailed responses.

Is it too much to ask for you guys to make Purple Reign ACTUALLY look exactly like that? Maybe we'd get to play as Mister Chief?

My delusional wishes aside, this was a good update, atleast in my opinion. It was a nice balance of real life stuff, the cake batter, if you will, and game stuff, which functions as the delicious fluffy frosting on top.

That was some good frosting.

So I live in the Seattle Area, and would LOVE to go to PAX, but I am afraid that I can only go one day- Friday or Saturday. I have to choose between the two. Could you tell me which day would have more of everything so that I can plan accordingly? Thanks

Good update this week. No one's around and we got more info than usual. Hope you all don't get too hammered tonight. Have fun!

Glory to Jesus Christ

Luke is best drawer ever

Godspeed.

nothing new, but i enjoyed the update anyaway. lots of questions answered, just as good (if not better) than screens. purple reign will come out when it comes out, no need to try rush it along with screenshots that make teh int3rnets pee their pants.

luke, you probably saved half the bungie staff a few thousand pm's.

Everybody, quick! Start searching the state of Washington on Google Earth for possible Bungie Summer Picnic locations!

  • 07.25.2008 11:51 AM PDT

Actually, wait. Why are some of the answers cut off? Like the Trueskill one. Definitely would like to read the end to that answer.

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

Augh, you didn't finish answering my question! lol

X Foman123 x asks: The forums have been abuzz with requests for a new “Foundry”-style map that is larger, outdoors, and better suited for creating maps for large parties, are there any discussions about a larger, more open map for from-the-ground-up Forge creations?

Last time someone asked a question about this there were entire legions of upset e-folks because we didn’t give them a straight answer. Thankfully, your question is so laser-focused on the “discussions” about a new Foundry-style map


He did answer your question. You should have worded it differently if you wanted to know about Bungie discussing it.

YES! I can continue to play with a br that has bullets that randomly return to it's clip when I'm shooting at someone. I have no idea why that's not a big enough issue to be fixed. I also love the random spread. The H2 br wasn't even that annoying. Sure it had the massive amount of auto-aim, but EVERYONE had that auto-aim. I'm not even saying that bungie should've made the br like it was in H2. It just really obviously needs to be fixed in H3. Anyone who says it doesn't is either lying or in denial. I'm not an MLG fanatic and I didn't want the br to be the almighty power weapon. I just wanted it to be consistent and less random. Why doesn't everyone want their br spread to be consistent? In H3, during a br battle, whoever gets the better spread wins. Why do most of you like luck to be the deciding factor in who wins a br battle? I will never understand it. And yes, I do play H3 still. It's just a shame that the br is never going to be fixed. That's all I'm saying.

Anyway....I can't wait for Purple Reign!

MM

Great info, Thank you for making it clear that you won't be announcing anything at PAX.
Too bad I live so far away, I'm a big fan and would love to come to your booth sometime.

Oh and BTW, love the drawing Luke!
