As a programmer, I found this update rather interesting. It gives a nice high-level idea of what it takes to develop a game. Nicely done.

  • 08.08.2008 8:32 PM PDT

Are you reading this!?

Hey wait a minute... that's another palindrome! Two weeks in a row, cool. As far as the update goes it was a little bland, why not put some pictures in there just so we can have something to ogle at in place of the lack of critical information.

Way to go on #1 game of the year! I knew you guys could do it!

Could he be talking about the introduction to new map variants like the heavy versions of maps being circulated right now in Ranked Big Team Slayer? Or have they had these heavy variants for a while now?(I am returning from a COD4 Vacation)

Not the kinda meat that I wanted to chew on. More like fat. I wish there was something significant in the update. But thats the way it is.

With all due respect, Luke. You can't really expect us not be be anxious and hyped for some news. I mean, ever since E3 we've known something was coming. Add on top of that your plans for Halo 3 over the next two months, and the community is just really expecting some big news.


Then you should calm yourselves down.
When your plan in the first place was to hype the community?

  • 08.08.2008 8:45 PM PDT

Argh... You should post a job opening for a new weekly updater because this is becoming idiotic and annoying to not get any updates. Only non-essential, demeaning information. If you're not actually going to give me something of an update, stop writing them.

And now he doesn't want you to be hyped so calm down. Hes not typing it because he likes the color of his shiny gold text, or to be mean or anything. He is typing it so that you understand that there is nothing to be excited about that has to do with bungie right now. He can't tell us anything and he wont tell us anything, not for a very long while anyway.

Last week, it said "today is a palindrome". It's a palindrome for today's update, too.

  • 08.08.2008 8:58 PM PDT

Get WorkPLaced!!

This is an interesting update and I look forward to checking out the stuff you posted but other than that it was rather bland.

  • 08.08.2008 9:00 PM PDT

I love Everything Halo and I love Bungie....BUT. Writing the lyrics to "Climb climb up sunshine mountain" and calling it an update would be more interesting than the humdrum of nonsense put in the update. I need something deeper and more enigmatic. GIVE ME RECON.!!Lol just kidding....sort of.... I mean if you want to.

So I think Jun's a master chef, because he takes off his helmet and your like whoa, I think he's a chef.

So to shorten this up, Jun is master chef.

Though the Earth is dying we must enrich her body, for the ground we tread is hφly.

I'm a lion in a world where everybody's content with being cats.

One of the best updates ever.

No silly "news", you guys just went straight to the good stuff.

Hey Luke, how do I post videos on Bungie.net or Bungie's favorites? It's a obviously a staged battle, but it's a pretty entertaining for machinima lovers or people who enjoy epic stuff. Please, someone, inform me what do I do? Peace.
