if there is one thing I learned from bungie since the 1st weekly update is if they are not saying much they have a pretty dame good reason most of the time, but when they give a lot of info its nice but sometimes it causes an over hype to know too much too soon They are getting better with psychological tactics... This new tiny bit of info way just may be better in the long run when they tell us something surprising about the next maps, the update, or there next project. Anyways I love reading into this update seeing all the bungie people leaving random comments and trying to find out in my mind if some are hits or just randomness. I read about path finding in one hmmmm... could that be another hit about the AI in some MP that people are talking about or just about path finding for the next game or both? I love you bungie! keep me guessing but please soon at least tell us something about the new maps.

ok you can tell us about the maps latter because, lol we all know that isn't your big project right guys? they posted many maps and never said it was something big so we can set that aside. but don't worry there coming out with the maps. but first has to come some good forging tools for us =)

I pretty much never sign into here (I always come here and just forget to sign in), but I always read the updates. Just had to give a shout out to you guys for mentioning Braid. One of the best games I've played so far this gen (along with Halo 3 of course). That game blew my mind.

Also I loved the return of KEEP IT CLEAN!

Can't wait to see what surprises you guys have in store for us. You've probably already told us, but there is no way I could decipher all of your crazy hidden things.

Read it again, but this time read a little closer.

It's actually filled with a lot of hints.

I think to the uneducated little noobies around these parts. I will attempt to decipher the picture of Sandtrap.

ALOT of sand.Hah.. Kidding.. Basically it doesn't look like alot right now, but it is something greater. Such as in Sandtrap it was once a beautiful Forerunner area and is now a barren desert.

Nice metaphor there!

I think one thing was said that gave away an important aspect of what I was fearing and gave me hope in it's place... I would say it, but #1 making a bad guess would make me look like a douche. #2 I don't want to say something that could be spot on.. There was some interesting things said.. Lately, you have been slowly teasing us ever so gently like the silent bully in our dreams.. hahah

I think it's referring to the fact that the update "looks" like a barren waste land, but to the trained eye it's actually filled with hints.

Do you seriously feel like you earned your money with that update?

Entertain the possibility that the Update is an extremely minute part of my week.


It shows in your writing.

After reading that my brain burns with regret and once again I find myself desperately awaiting Gears of War 2, Fable 2, Resident Evil 5, Final Fantasy XIII, and the Watchmen movie.

We don't need a rule for every single freaking thing someone thinks is spam.

It is my belief that we are only getting bad updates because Bungie is working on something so awsome and secret, it takes up all of their time.

If I'm wrong, well. . . Let's just hope I'm not wrong. . .

That update was, let's say, simply ok.

So much for being clear on things :)

...nice update? =/

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

I have no idea what that update was about.
Would it take a long time to post it with your iPhone?

Why are these updates always such a waste of time? When will we ever get a half-decent update? Sometimes it pains me just to click on the link.

Making rough calls about how pouncy they should be.
Chris Opdahl, Lead Mission Designer


Now that's a line that you have to read at least twice. It's definitely referring to their next project and not H3. I'm wondering if the pouncing is in reference to a current Halo character reinvented e.g. a scrappy little grunt or a nippy drone, possibly even a brute. On the other hand, we could be in for a treat of something else to shoot at.
