Aargh! I've spent forever trying to find a secret hidden meaning in bungie's update.

So far, all I've figured out is that the first letter in every sentence up to the list of activities is: IAOItcfctaaibw

Which has no real anagrams but "If bit a Cacti Ow"
Which is not helpful, or secret.

BUT I'LL NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER! YOU HEAR ME LUKEMS!?! I WILLFIND THE SEKRET MEANING IN YOUR UPDATE!

that was the worst -blam!- updade ive ever seen. Hints, hints hints, im -blam!- sick of them. You guys do realise that giving us a strait answer will clear up ur forums of all these stupid gueses as to what the -blam!- is going on?
Like i give a damn about who is working on what. Give me some solid facts every week so i dont waste my time on your website.
sorry for my double post somewhere on pge 19 but the "Page not Found" crap got me.

Useless.

Utterly... useless.

Bungie hasn't posted anything informative in three weeks. I check Bungie every day, hoping maybe someone in the forums found something that will fuel that fire that gets everybody excited for whatever's coming.

But no Adjutant Reflex.

No info on the maps since that crap hand-drawn illustration.

Nothing on AU2.

Just crap.

...Crap.

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.


Your joking right? You guys at Bungie make me laugh. You announce that "big changes" are coming to Halo3, tease single player content and a map editor in your "thank you" videos, then after all that you tell people to not get too excited. Are you serious? You started it. Your the ones constantly teasing new stuff and announce nothing. How can you expect us not to get excited?

Ive got news for you: had YOU not teased "big changes" and that "map editor" in that video, then people would not be getting their hopes up right now by expecting a megaton announcement. Its your fault.

Dont feed people the carrots if you dont want them to eat it.

Question for Bungie:

So, if we get schooled by you guys in our quest to get Recon armor at PAX does our gamertag get put on the list of those who can never obtain Recon ever again, or are we still eligible to win it at future events?

As previously mentioned there will be a handful of daily opportunities to play Bungie for a chance to win Recon. Once you’ve had a shot at glory, that’s it.

i think it just the shot at glory is probably the hand full of daily opportunities.............yea so when do this opportunities start...........

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.


Why? Don't strain yourself getting a good, straight forward response out of you guys is just as hard to get a cow to fly. . . even though I did make it happen once, but yeah HARD!

I've been pretty disappointed with the weekly updates for a long time, but this takes the prize. There no valuable information in this thing whatsoever. I'm just gonna play Halo and stop visiting this site.

A few possible speculations

Throwing some shapes, urban style - City based map

Building demolition. My desk is a hard hat zone. - City based map


I think this update was more interesting than last weeks, there's definitely hidden information.

To the poster below: I was thinking that too. Didn't notice "Infinity" though.




Sounds Like A remake of Headlong. But i must not jump to conclusions. it is a speculation. Very Very Very intresting update.

"Seems to me you should spend less time on that article and more time working on that novel you've been working on!!!"

So I just read that Grab post about GameVee and whatnot. If you guys decide to do this with them, does that mean we can finally put our outrageous Halo moments on our utube accounts without getting a camera or some program? That will be awesome, because otherwise everyone will be missing out on The Strangest/Most Awesome Overkill Most People Haven't seen even though they really should

You can delete this if you want, I know you probably have the power to do this. Just wanted to show you. And it relates to the most recent post, which doesn't have a discuss button, so I weeped. Then I ran here with this, much like a cat comes running back to its master proudly with a dead rat in its teeth, though the master does not wish to see the dead rat lying at its feet. It was kinda like that...

Wow this update sucked horribly, what a shocker, all of the updates for a while have sucked, this one was totally about nothing anyone would care about, so random, I can see you guys ran out of things to talk about, and to all the people who say "Well at least we still have weekly updates" I don't care if we do or not, I'd rather not have one than see this one and ones like this ($hitty).

  • 08.18.2008 9:23 PM PDT

This is a perfect example that the bungie staff, maybe not the whole staff, but "Lukems" for sure are some smart @$$es, they always have to get smart with us, I sent Lukems a message basically saying why are you such a smartass all the time, of course he didn't reply... hmmm weird????

after reading these posts, i felt in necessary to post another positive reply.

this update actually makes you think, although i won't make any speculations on what any of the meanings of these things were, because i really don't know what any of them may be.

the fact is, this update got me excited to see what may be coming up in future updates to this game, and future games to come from bungie. everything sounded very interesting, and like i said, it gets your mind working.

the biggest problem with this online "community" is that no one likes to think. they all want everything handed to them, without realizing that without all these hints and cryptic clues, we wouldn't get nearly as excited for what's to come.

it's all about suspense and marketing folks. things would get really boring if we all knew exactly what was coming, and when it would be here.

this isn't christmas, and bungie isn't santa clause. we'll get what they give us when they give it to us. there's no need in getting pissed off about a short (yet very informative) weekly update.

this post has taken me way too long to write, and sadly not many people are going to waste their time reading it, but it eases my mind knowing that i at least said something intelligent in this string of senseless dribble that you people call a discussion. just sit back and enjoy the updates as they come. at least we're getting something.

I was about to write a big paragraph telling people pretty much the same thing. But this guy has summed up my feelings pretty effectively.
