Oh my goodness. That picture, so beautiful, like something out of a neo surrealist painting.

Oh, and the update was pretty good too.

Yeah the sketch was okay. I seriously dont understnad why most halo 3 players keep on going on about armour and the like. Its just appearance it dosent actually do anything. And the battle rifle? ITS FINE :D Can't wait for the next update guys

"Go then. There are other worlds than these."

So, wait. Purple Reign is a nightmare Dr. Seuss version of Midships?

Oneshot3236 asks: What are you/were you planning to do for Auto Update 2?

Next week, I will tell you all about AU2. The only thing I’ll give you to chew on until then is that the Battle Rifle will NOT be changed.
So... You're not going to take my suggestion and fix the BR by adding gravity effects to the bullets? =]

Hmmm, I need a more hyperbolic word to describe how glorious it was. Thoughts?

"Banadu."

*giggles*

I may or may not be the first person to be inspired, here, but I present my efforts nonetheless:

In Banadu did Bungie Team
A fitting punishment decree :
Where Live, the sacred platform, ran
Through fiber measureless to man
Down to the players free.
So twice five score of farktard cheats
Were walled and trapped for their deceits :
And there were game-maps bright with revelrous stunts
Where blew up many a birthday-party Grunt ;
And here were griefers shut off from their sprees,
Decrying Bungie's lack of clemency.


(Original here, for those of you unfamiliar with Coleridge. I'm afraid I don't have enough Halo knowledge to do the whole thing, but others are more than welcome to add to it. Hooray for the Internet and collaborative works!)


Wow....that's truly an inspired adaptation! Much props!

I like the Q&A. Very instructive.

Thanks! I'm glad somebody enjoyed it - I was starting to worry that it'd get lost in the muddle of pages and left entirely unread. :)

Does anybody else feel like the picture looks like something out of Dr. Seuss? I feel like I've seen that before.

Everyone stay calm. This is an internet terrorist attack. Bungie, you might want to read this reply of mine because if i dont get recon armor by twelve o'clock tonight I will be forced to hack Bungie.net and ruin this site.
Sweet, and I thought I wouldn't get to ban anyone today.

I tried to sign my signature here but the pen busted off in my screen.

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 so I can give you an answer - Yes, there are discussions about Foundry-style maps.


Nice! but please do more than DISCUSS a larger Foundry style map. Actually MAKE IT! Charge $100 for it if you want. I'll stop eating for a couple of week to buy it if I have to! That would rule beyond measure!

surely the bungie staff get tired of having to do these updates concerning a game they've finished almost a year ago now?
