Look forward to seeing you guys at PAX. Let Tung know he can trash-talk all he likes.

Ooooooooooh Yeaaaaaa!

The riddle is about the AU2 & More (xbox update). You see each employee working there are testing out they're new Avatars and what not . Basically they're just telling us that they're real close to releasing what they're playing with right now.

My guss is that we're gonna see stuff happen by next Friday.

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Good stuff Luke - I like the quotes...

Now

Can we get a Mister Chief?

I'm a teacher that plays Halo. What of it?

Posted by: geneva
this is for the bungie net works i was wondering when the AU2 will be coming out, and will i beable to be a genral if lets say i was a lvl 1 and just started playing, and i won 500 rumble pit games and i was still a lvl 1 would i be a genral in rumble pit?????????????

p.s. you guys should put some double experence games online that don't need dlc maps so they could get double exp like you could arrange it like ( dlc maps (next week - /) / standard maps/dlcmaps/standard maps) like switch it like that so people who are poor and can not afford harddrives able to play double exp too thank you for reading my message
If they can't afford an HDD, they should be out working, not playing Halo. There's more to life than just a video game.

Is the games that are going to be played against Bungie going to be in matchmaking or in a custom game.

What does sandtrap have to do with anything? Plus will there be a "mythic" map pack.

  • 08.16.2008 7:56 AM PDT

Wooo.. page 15... maybe 16, we will see when I hit submit. HAHA..

They posted that pick of sandtrap because this update was a barren "waste"land... kinda


:::::They hinted at a couple of things::::

KEEP IT CLEAN!
Joseph Staten (Classified)

And...

So much time spent on such a seemingly small issue…aDoes it really have to be 2 new #UNDEFINED_STRING# or can we just stick with the 1 #UNDEFINED_STRING# plan we have been testing?
Domenic Koeplin, Test Lead / Release Manager

And...

My left hand is banning some people who should know better by now, and my right hand is working on something that will be as cool as the Party system was.

Just set your weekly expectations extremely low - like playing a map designed by Stosh low, or Halo : Uprising low. Then you won't be disappointed and heck, Luke may even surprise you once in a while.

Just stop expecting a megaton bomb of juicy information every week. If you've been around here much, you know that's not how we roll most of the time.

In the time it took to read this you could have earned 2 XP playing Halo 3.


Sketch and Luke,

I loved the update. I wanted to know what the staff has been up to, with the top secret stuff hidden, and that's what this one was. It was awesome. Everyone seems so busy but I hope you are having fun too!

Here's my theory, I'm sure many of you are thinking the same things:
1) New maps - they've been mentioned but are still "in process"
2) Campaign NPCs/AI on multiplayer maps - dunno exactly what this means but the acceptance speeches surely hinted at this
3) Completely new game - I would like to think that it is a new IP but it could be Halo related

Oh yeah, and Joe Staten's title still being secret, like it was in a comic-con interview, is really weird. Makes me REALLY curious what he could be doing. Perhaps more grunt voices?

Will we ever know why last week's update was late, Luke said last week that we would know soon.

I wasn't disappointed with this weeks update as I knew that they couldn't share any info with us right now on the upcoming projects. People hype themselves up way too much.

So, where do I begin with a statement like this?

I suppose I could start with this: how can you justify posting a comment like this to the public, while supposedly filtering out inappropriate content, such as swear words? Just to point out the hypocrisy, let me boil this down: on this site, it's absolutely not permitted for anyone to post a 3 letter word that starts with "s" and ends with "ex", and in fact an automatic filtering system will get rid of it if used, but an employee stating that they have essentially asked underage women to prostitute themselves for special privileges on your service is perfectly fine? Perhaps this point was lost on you when you posted this material, but in all seriousness, that comment is not only ridiculously inappropriate, but if true, illegal in more ways than one.

That said, this is your website, so do as you see fit, but if saying things like that is totally fine by your standards, then I personally think your standards need some revision.
