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.


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.

Thanks Bungie. Short but sweet.

And for all the complainers-Dont make GJJ come in here and do a repeat of '04.

How about a monthy update where you release -blam!- ing bombshells?

I actually found the new publication about enemy AI to be quite a Bombshell actually. It's amazing.


well that could go in the monthly update too...

I cannot believe all this discussion is taking place without any mention of those that lost their lives in the making of the Halo 3 Gphoria Game of the Year acceptance video.

It may have been we fans that helped you get the Game of the Year award, but it was you that brought us our Game of the Year.

Here's to the brave Spartans and Elites of Bungie; you'll live on forever in our favorite game.

....spongy, bungie, who cares? I got mine!

Wow, why don't you all just go cry about it.

To every Bungie Employee, you all should be proud, you guys have essentially created a religion.

SO.. was it just me, or did that G4 video feature a New Forge-like Map, AND like 30 players at the same time?

(but with some of the spartans near the front, scaled to a weird small size?)

I'm guessing we may have more in this update than initially meets the eye.

(for those that don't like Bungie, and/or the Bungie update, could you please go whine somewhere else? If you somehow think your post is even slightly more entertaining/ interesting or informative than even a post referencing the possibility of a cancelled update, you're sorely mistaken.. go cry to your moms, and stop flooding this thread.)

If your not busy enough to have anything to talk about why not make something up, like a new bungie studios tour or something. I don't mean make something up that isn't real I mean do something that you can talk about. Of course you could just be busy on some really top secret stuff.

Also why didn't you mention that thing that happened on the webcams? Is it top secret?

Bring Back Headlong!
Best Halo 2 Map Ever!

Congrats on getting GOTY!
Although some people think it is not the best update hey at least we get updates!

Uh,

*dissapointed*

  • 08.08.2008 7:31 PM PDT

I wish I was still legendary.

the AI bit was interesting, but if you've got halo CE, then you already know quite a bit of that stuff.


And I did vote bioshock...on the IGN GOTY, not the G4 one.

Yikes! How can you guys even open your inbox w/out severe lag if it's full of annoying recon armor requests?

Is this anywhere near what it's like?

  • 08.08.2008 7:39 PM PDT

The blue ones stick.

Did people really do those things that are described in the weekly update? If so....then I am quite disappointed.

Now that is by far the funniest and most spot-on post I have seen yet.

I've been lurking in these forums for months now, and the fervor, didacticism, dichotomies, and splinter cults that have emerged in this fanbase is chillingly close to how organized religions carry themselves. I can see where Lukems is coming from if he has a certain tinge to his comments post-update. If my inbox and I had to deal with the daily drama of immaturity I witness on here, I would probably express a bit more disdain than what he does.
