maybe its just me but the people at the back of the new map clip just seem like those Elites and Spartans people placed on "modded" maps, they're just all gray.
I dont mind the the short update when it comes w/ video goodies, but I was hoping for some comment on the 1019foxfm countdown though.

Congratulations on winning G4's game of the year award, Bungie. Halo 3 had to overcome some extremely tough competition, especially from Grand Theft Auto 4, Metal Gear Solid 4, and Call of Duty 4 (lots of 4s there). Thanks for making such a great game, Bungie!

I'm not one to question or complain about weekly updates (nor do I ever comment on them actually), but... This was really disappointing...?

  • 08.08.2008 8:05 PM PDT

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

What the hell is wrong with you people? Calm down. Some cool new stuff in the update and a few posts from Luke basically saying we'll know whats going on fairly soon. I see nothing wrong with it, we'll know something soon.

I was on halo pedia earlyer and moonbase might not be the final name. If it even happens.


Names like Purple Reign and Moonbase are never the final name.
Most of the time, maps have three names:
1. the development name
2. the Bungie outwardly facing code name (purple reign)
3. the Final Name (sometimes this is 1, but very rarely)

So yet another update with no new info what so ever. For the love of God will you please give us an update on something we actually care about? All those things you posted might be nifty to those at Bungie but I personally could care less about it. Oh, congrats on GOTY.


There's nothing we're able to talk about right now. Deal with it.



Fine! Be that way!

On the "acceptance speech", marty says "...We were busy working on..." and gets cut off by someone and it sounds like they say "TWO WEEKS MARTY." then followed by someone else saying "Ya, keep it clean."
they were also on the new map.
ya.
can someone confirm this?

The first guy said, "no leaks", i believe.

Subject: Do you regret recon?

Do you, Bungie, ever wish that you had not created recon armor? I just wonder how many hours have been spent dealing with all things related to recon, which could have been spent on other things (i.e. games or maps or vacations). The concept probably looked cool on the drawing board; an armor permutation that only a very select few can obtain. Did you think it would this big of a deal? I mean, pratically every weekly update since the launch of Halo 3 has made some mention of it, usually to let people know that they are not getting it despite their best efforts. I really don't see the attraction to recon honestly. A lot of times my armor won't load anyway, and I'm left with the default (which isn't a big deal to me, but would probably annoy someone who worked hard to get the recon).

Nice update.
The ways to not get recon should be common sense.
Then i look at the majority of people here on the forums. XD

And i must say what i've been saying for the past week...
Can i haz AU2?

Most boring update evar?

  • 08.08.2008 8:15 PM PDT

Wow you just tell us like it is don't you.

People need to learn the pattern that you guys never release hints or info earlier then you want and and most times the info comes later than expected.

Im thinking maybe you guys MIGHT give us a clue of whats REALLY going maybe spring of next year.

Hell who knows

  • 08.08.2008 8:16 PM PDT

You guys really should calm yourselves down as Luke so slyly hinted at. I mean come on! Hype for a company has never really helped said company. Look how many people were excited for Halo 3 and it hardly even sold..... Umm.... Look at how many people fell in love with Gears of War and are now hyped for Gears 2. This just led to Gears of War 2 being a top game on IGN for months before its relea-

Ok, well, nvm. Just calm down so Luke won't yell at us anymore.

You know i was thinking about it, there has to be some way to give your spam filters a keyword (Recon) to block so you dont get flooded with useless mail.

  • 08.08.2008 8:17 PM PDT

Message me for 50s

worst update ever other then the fact that one guys name was Max Dychoff.

  • 08.08.2008 8:22 PM PDT

I'm disappointed...

  • 08.08.2008 8:22 PM PDT

Congratulations Guys and Princesses. Well deserved.

About time Call of Dookie was put in it's place.

hardly even sold? are you mentally retarded? halo 3 has sold over 8 million copies. 2.5 million of those were launch day sales. know the facts before you open your mouth.

Congrats, Bungie on GOTY. Will any new information about the newest podcast be available soon?

  • 08.08.2008 8:28 PM PDT

a wise man once told me to -blam!- off.

i have never said anything like this before, but this update was a total letdown.
