All in all it told me NOTHING. I was really, hoping for something better, like more info about AU2.


You just didn't hope hard enough.
Squint your eyes and push really hard.

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.

Another "lack luster" update. Yay! I'll go back to Geometry wars 2

Note:Unashamedly taken from Luke Smith's battle cries.

I got nothing from that update, but I'll continue reading each and every one regardless of how much I want cold, hard facts. I'm confused about the Penny Arcade though. Will Bungie peeps be playing regular peeps online?

"Lines Read Lines"...............here are some go's............


From the Mouths of Babes

It’s all so hush-hush right now. But a bunch of folks sent me some examples of what they are currently working on here at Bungie. What does it all mean?

It means


Automating ventriloquism.
David Aldridge, Network Engineer

I have no clue, working on voice dialogs for when you die or get shot at???

Throwing some shapes, urban style
Sam Jones, Art Lead

Designing maps with a urban feeling???

Future development for the win.
Mat Noguchi, Developer of Awesome™

This sounds to me a brand new Halo game that is so big, that Bungies new Halo project will be bigger and better then Halo 3 and for the win he means, out selling GTA IV!!!

Baking keys, merging clips, and curve cleaning so his turns will be silky smooth.
Joe Spataro, Technical Designer in Animation

Improving the turning physics of the Spartan or Elite during battle and overall moving forwards, backwards and side to side???

Doing my part to shape and direct the future of the Experience.
Shishka, Multiplayer Community Designer

Keeping us happy online, and improving our overall experience and handling our complaints.

Just zipped up.
The Webmaster

[b] Don't forget to flush the toilet!!!


Counting the minutes until my iPhone arrives and plotting out my plan to accessorize and applicate it since we don’t have any projects we can announce.
Brian Jarrard, Director Community and PR

Play Halo in the mean time....and no projects yet that can be announce, but Bungie is working up a storm

Being nice to the goose.
The Elder, Audio Director

Be cool to Bungie, they are listening

Over at HFCS we're constantly hard...

Wait...
What?

Why, oh why does college start during PAX?!? Shouldn't they keep that week sacred so I can get some cool Bungie swag? *sigh*

On the bright side, I can expect a few words from the webmaster in the near future. I wonder how long it'll take him to stumble back to his computer?

  • 08.15.2008 8:51 PM PDT

I was told that if I don't have anything positive to say to just shut my freaking mouth.

Get WorkPLaced!!

Usually I'm really happy about the Update but this one was just a disappointment.

All it did was remind me of how Bungie is only giving the west coast a chance for recon and how that means I won't be able to have an epic 2v2 of amazing proportions with them, and then just had a bunch of "credits" type things people have said.

Still good and professionally done, just not very interesting.

I love me some tig ole' bitties

what was the update even about. im so confused...

">Sticky goes through spartan<......?.......Hey its stosh!!!!"

Sweat my first post and i agree with anyone who says that bungie hinted at bots

  • 08.15.2008 9:08 PM PDT

I think I get what this Update is all about. I believe Bungie hinted at a few things. I may be wrong though. One of the first things I believe they hinted at was a full map maker, not like forge mode where you just move Objects around, but like a full Blown map maker.

And secondly, I believe they hinted at bots. So now you can play your own maps, or forged maps with hundreds of bots and AI!

EPIC BATTLES FTW!!

Ugh...so much info to be announced. I thought Sketch said that if there wasn't anything worth posting you wouldn't even make an update...what happened to that?

I'm not sure if its been posted, but when I saw Marty say that he's being nice to the goose, I immediately thought of this video:

Oh, Bungie. how I love you and hate you so very much all at once.

  • 08.15.2008 9:39 PM PDT

wow difinetly the worst update ever, it said stuff about thier PAX booth with the recon stuff but im not going or interested in going so this updae meant nothing to me. i wanna know something about MM or something about the new game or new maps or something else with AU2(maybe this dumb update was a stall for new game/any of other things listed above)
