"I'd like to thank marty's mom!"

Wow that was great. Bungie has a great sense of humor...

What's the Damien Egg??? Please tell me it's not the half naked guy on Halo.

Speculation is great. So let's look deeper into the update as to why it could have been so short.

First, they talk about GOTY. Watch the video. The background appears to be new. Possibly a new map they are working on. They also say to "Keep it Clean" and show the SI in the bottom right. The E3 announcement is still coming. Be patient. At the end, it seems a lot of them are host booted. Could be Bungie working on that problem as we type.

Second part is about Recon. Self explainitory. Don't ask for it. If you earn it, it will come.

Third part deals A LOT with the AI functionality of the game. AI is also the driving force for Bots in the game. Now, I would hate to see Bots in Halo, but there has been a demand for them. Who knows, maybe the AI section of the update is to let you know they're working on it. Or, it's there to let you know how hard it would be and that it isn't going to happen.
For the AI, they might be working on making them for forge. Mayby thats why they had so many of the elites in the background on the map in the video. We'll find out sooner or later.

Gratz on GoTY bungie ^.^

I love the response to the Recon rumors its just -blam!- awesome.

  • 08.09.2008 9:35 AM PDT

Halo is <3

The summer before halo 3 was released was great. There was much to talk about in pre-halo release, those weekly updates made my week. I figured they would run out of things to talk about eventually and the weekly update would become less magnificent. I would still like to thank Bungie for their hardwork. Go Bungie!

Strange how several of them died instantly at the end of the G4TV video. Hidden secrets?

That is what I'm hoping for, a really cool A.I system for Forge would be a great addition, but it'd be very limited probably on Xbox Live, but offline would be hours of entertainment. As well, make their difficulty level harder. They' have to give us a give to make it work as well.

why so late?



You'll know sorta soon. I promise


maybe its because as you said in another post that you were busy and gonna post it late so you were flicking the switch for Au2 and it will be up tommorow? just a guess.


Nope. No AU2 anytime soon. You guys really need to calm down overall. There's not much to talk about right now: Deal with it.

The other, very real possibility, like Sketch has mentioned before, is that maybe on weeks when there isn't anything, we'll just not put one up.
No weekly update? I would kill myself.

Rebellion in small things to let the world know I haven't surrendered.

Look today is a palindrome!
Just like last week...

Congrats on the Game of the Year thing.

People are way too gullible when it comes to trying to get that armor, or anything that's "too good to be true".

I'll try and watch some of the videos later this week.

We are a generation commanded by fate to defend
humankind ! We must meet the threat with our valor,
our blood, with our very lives, to insure that human
civilization, not elite dominates this galaxy now
and always.
we need soldiers, SOLDERS LIKE YOU!

WE WILL FIGHT AND WE WILL WIN!
Join up here

this update was lame.

Why do ya'll keep recycling the main pics for the Updates? Haha, but it's ok. Halo still owns, even if there aren't many words to go with it anymore (more action, less talk).

Perhaps there should be a reminder in the PM box, next to the send button. "You're not going to get Recon!"

Lotsa reading to do, I'm off!

  • 08.09.2008 11:50 AM PDT

Sigh.

I wish I could go to PAX to play against you guys, not the prize of winning, but for the experience of playing against a Bungie employee.

LUKE I NEED SOME HELP!!

My mom took away every shooter game I own because she thinks that they are too violent even though I have had them for months!

All of my friends are at camp, and I have nothing to do. Even if you guys did really consider this, I won't be able to play it myself!

Please what should I do to get Halo 3 and CoD4 back!!!

I like to knit sweaters.....and by knit I mean PUNCH....and by sweaters I mean babies.

Macgyver can build an airplane out of gum and paper clips, but Evil One can kill him and take it.

Wow, hardly even worth a reply. I miss Frankie. These updates blow.

  • 08.09.2008 1:14 PM PDT

honestly the last few weekly updates have been very dissapointing.

Yeah, just lazy I suppose.

Lukems- "I have an idea to fill space...let's post a bunch of old slide shows, that will keep em quiet".

Honestly, I'd rather have no update than junk like this lol.

Welcome to the jungle

For real like that man. Snip the curb on that one man, up to the top you know what I'm sayin'? That's the shawshot man that's real tallk.

My talents include always knowing the wrong thing to say.

Twitter!

Umm at the end of the g4 video, were they on a new map?

  • 08.09.2008 1:38 PM PDT

I play xbox. Woohoo!

Actually, that info on the Al was really interesting. Cool update guys! It's a shame you couldn't give us auto-update2 or map info, but it's better to not say anything that is half-finished, than to give an update filled with false info, that people will mislead, and piss off them in the end.
