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.



Guilty Trace, if you have nothing good to contribute just don't post. I thought this was very informative. If you remember H2 days, it was much worse (I had a different name then...) (before H2). Think about the update or read other people's posts and you'll like this update.
I'd rather get little puzzles or riddles to solve rather than plainly be told every little detail about their work.

P.S. I LOVED that drawing of Purple Reign. NOw we need one of the Spacebase...



I am getting sick and tired of some of the people of the Bungie and Halo Community. You are acting like a selfish rotten 8 year old brat who has to cry when he doesn't get what he wants.

Whatever Bungie is doing is probably worth the wait. And all of you complaining about a useless update is nonsense. LEARN TO BE PATIENT. I actually find the Weekly Updates to be very entertaining.

Put yourself in a Bungie employee's shoes. Would you, the employee, have the consistency to type out something good for the millions of people who read, listen, and watch? Probably not.

You complain, then Bungie does something special for you, but you still complain afterwards.

You have a 360, you have Halo 3, you have Online Play, all of you should be satisfied. Until something good happens i suggest to keep quiet.

Diamondback, steaktacular is awarded when you win a match by a certain number of kills.

For example, you are playing team slayer, and you win 50-40. This would not get you a steaktaular.

But if you win a team slayer match with 20+ kills more than the other team (like 50-24) you will win a steaktacular. I'm not sure what it is for playlists like RBTB, but you get the basic idea.

So short and boring.

WTH Lukems owned me?!!?


Clearly. I'm not even sure if that was an edit by "SCOTTY OWNS U" or by Luke.. heh. GJ @ Luke regardless.

I liked this post, crypticness is [usually] always fun.

P.S. "Posted from my iPhone." Ew.

  • 08.20.2008 1:57 AM PDT

I actually liked this update, but then again I'm going to be at PAX next weekend, you guys can't expect a big announcement all the time.


Have faith :D

As most of you have seen and read, the new Bungie Weekly Update is out. Now to most people it may seem like a lot of of random sayings and just info on PAX. But as a Bungie.net forum user has explained to me, I now understand it.

Now to start off with, David Aldridge says "Automating Ventriloquism" and if you saw the A.I in the EDGE acceptance video Aldridge here may be telling us that we will be able to put A.I on our maps, since Ventriloquism may be the same as enemy models and Automating could be the same as giving them A.I.


Secondly many of the Bungie staff tell us things such as Moving Markers, Dropping metal Donuts from the Sky, Mangling crunchy trees, and Building demolition could all relate to new forge items that we have yet to see.

The third thing we notice are when the staffers say "Taking a Drive on the Beach and Buying Clouds". Now you may think those are very vague but they may not be. If you have been following Bungie, several months ago they mentioned in a weekly update that they might add day time/night time and weather to the maps, maybe Buying Clouds relates to the weather/time of day.

Also maybe Taking a Drive on the Beach is hinting as to us being able to actually change the ground textures on the new maps.

Finally a staffer mentions "Preparing to drop in the executive suit", I believe that this could possibly mean that we will be able to actually add whole buildings into one of the new maps, possibly the empty map shown at the end of the EDGE acceptance video. And if we take "Building Demolition. My desk is a hard hat zone" into consideration this may mean the buildings are going to be destructible.

This might be the "Halo Blue" that was leaked from Walmart before E3. This may have been the announcement that was supposed to be announced at E3 also.

Now this shows me that there will be some new Forge features or a whole new feature overall. If you have ever played FarCry maybe we will get some sort of map editor like that where we can change the terrain hight and more.

This is some good news if you examine this news post closely and read it all. We will definitely see more info in the near future as this may be announced within the coming weeks!

As i said to myself ... holy -blam!- -blam!-balls
