I really hope that Bungie is doing the opposite of what they did for the last maps (Lots of info ahead of time, lot of anticipation) and that they will all of a sudden announce them and they will be out in a few weeks! (I hope). And I don't know what would lead me to think it, but I think that Bungie will announce it at the Penny Arcade deal.
I hope, don't leave us hanging Bungie!

Hmmm, now which team will be easier to beat? And will they force upon us unusual gametypes? (At PAX I mean.)

Besides that, I suppose I can just wait until September and the 1 year anniversary of the release of Halo 3 for my answers (as was hinted at before.)

Also, apparently Bungie bought iPhones for everyone? That's awesome.


Yeah, cuz Im sure most of them cant afford them. -end sarcasm. Im sure each and every Bungie employee is very well paid and can afford multiple Iphones. It's like the actors/athletes thing. They are all overpaid, but always get the good deal and cool free stuff that they can easily already afford without having to worry about their bills.

Anyways, this update was crap. Why even bother? Of course, the real reason is because they know playing their little secret and screw with the fans crap they constantly pull. They apparently get great joy out of it. They've been doing this for years and people act surprised. Bungie should just not update weekly unless it is a true update of information people want to read about. Other wise, call it the Weekly Bungie -blam!- You, You Wish We Would Tell You Something Useful Blog

They're working on some sort of creature that has the ability to pounce I think. For some reason I'm getting a mental image of one of Doom 3's Imps.

\(>.<)/ DOHHHHH!!!!!!

right now i think every bungie employee is laughing their asses off at every person who thinks this update is completely and utterly pointless and stupid because they have no idea what da -blam!- bungie is trying to tell us...

Ok guys here the thing. Bungie before you go off running doing your on little project without the community, your basically taking matter in your hands. without the community giving there ideas how are we apart of this? it seems like you want to do things your way. hiding things from the public and giving hints... what kind of thing is this.. is this a update or just a article to keep us busy

  • 08.15.2008 10:34 PM PDT

Good update. Now to continue my lurking with the darkness...

This is probably a place for either a wise or immature statement. I choose neither.

Bungie wait!!!! before you finish with your project or whatever you guys are doing please ask the community what they want in this new release. I bet they can really, I mean really!!! make this new release a blast. If it was a new forging ground where you can be a master of building like Bungie =) I would like to see different template backgrounds such as morning evening night and day. and then have different types of terrain such as grass, metal, rusted metal, concrete, dirt, snow, and even water!! Second of all i believe that rising terrain and lowering terrain by using different sizes of tools, so you can make hills, valleys, mountains and even caves. And also for the different kind of characters modules, I believe that it would be best to choose that character as a player or make it a computer enemy or allies within your multilayer game. I personally believe that this would dramatically change the way forging to a higher level.

Good luck Bungie.

Smitty

when you say there will be sessions in the different parts od the day to defeat 2 bungie members and win recon, do you mean only the people at the event or can you sighn on from where ever you are in the world and face bugnie a certain plAaylist or something or play double at a certain time.

The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what this Update has given me. That's what I hope to give to it forever. I love it. I'll be seeing it.

Please consider enlisting in the UNSC's Black Water Ops Program. Led by Recon and featured multiple time in Bungie's Community Spotlight. We have over 4000 members in just over 9 months and we are growing everyday. I hope to see at BWO!

so, the ppl on the first page, do they just post good update for the purpose of being on the first page, w/out even reading it? cuz what I got was at Bungie you build things out of i don't even remember what that guy said. not much of an update :(

Hm, if I had to say I think that ya'll at Bungo are designing the next GOTY (Game Of The Year, for the more....special....people out there) and by the sound of it there will be some rolling hills, lush forests, and a little KICK ASS thrown in to spice things up. I like the idea of another party system and I also like the overall motif of an FPS. The only thing that remains to be seen is what will the background story be, will it take up where Halo 3 left off with the Chief drifting in a decaying orbit towards a seemingly?!? technologically advanced world, or will it drop outta the Halo-verse faster than an ODST from an orbiting space vessel. Anyways, good luck on it and I hope to join the team in a couple years (college first).
