To be honest, i'm getting pretty sick of these bungie updates. They never say anything of any use to anyone, and just seem to be there so that bungie staff can post little personal jokes that none of us understand. How about we hear some real news for once?

A witty signature that can be placed on the bottom of all your forum posts.

sometimes i wonder, why do i even read updates, and then i quickly remember: "oh yeah, i dont" because when i do have the inclination it usually ends up being like this. i would like to point out a serious flaw in the way you guys give us ridiculous hints at what we may or may not be able to look forward to, and that is you never ever explain these hints later. i was on the edge of my seat all the way thru the development of halo 3 and i had come to realize that half of the droppped hints were never even resolved such as one description of a game played back in development, the quote isnt exact but it was something like "i've never heard so many shrieks of terror in a session of halo before now" i believe it was in reference so some enigmatic game type... but i couldnt tell you what that may be because the hint was never resolved... was it Infection? maybe, but ive played infection and definitely did not shriek... or hear anyone else shriek, during any of the matches. this was one of many instances in which we were built up and then never satisfied - its like getting someone super excited for a certain something and then letting it completely pass them by without even a hint at what they should have been excited about... in fact, its exactly like that, in fact i believe i just explained the situation to a "T". so from this update one my conclude that your new project includes teeth. thats cool... but why do i care? will i find out why i should have cared? probably not. so i know now to ignore annoying hints like that, and kudos to those who still eat them up. btw i know this is neither the time nor place but i started playing last night at level 44... lost, won, lost, and then had a pretty decent winning streak (at least 5) in which i was either mvp or had top medals each game, then lost 3 or 4 times... i went negative about twice the whole time and always had a bounty of assists. why then did i drop to 43? i am severely disappointed with halo 3, meanwhile there are 50s out there who i can pound into the ground... how in the hell did they do it?

Thursday night (PDT, tomorrow) we'll be doing some upgrades in the datacenter where the file share runs, and it will be unavailable for a short time.

This means that uploading and downloading of shared files and screenshots will be offline for a while, and postgame stats from during the maintenance will show up after we're done.
So whatever happened with this? Is this a reliable post? What update were made, I can't tell. It said thursday night, but I don't see anything. Did it mean the site, or the file share in the game? I just wish I knew...

"Hey, buy our T-shirts while we have nothing to sell you! After all, Bungie's plan for world domination rides simply on the backs of the idiots who cling to fads."

Frothy fan-boys? You barely still have players in your playlists. The only froth you get is from your thick smooth-talking web-head. The only thing you make real fans is pissed that you toy every update like it could be the biggest announcement of the century and really you know exactly when you'll get the word to release and you play dumb as if you weren't actually the people making the game in the first place. I don't want to buy your schwag, I don't want to buy your stupid dolls, I have paid you in the past for your skill at making video games, we buy your cheap stupid schwag things when there is a game to buy that it comes free with.

Stop toying with your real fans and buttering up the idiots that beg their moms for money to buy your keychains.

NO offence to bungie but what was the point of the recon or the flaming head as people say it just wants people to play more to get it 'and to be simple i dont like the recon head because the other heads u unlock are better ......

NEXT i come to cheating u say u monitor it but do u as ive seen many of times like a head shot but didnt die how bizare i say to myself .people will different kind of cheating like a sword hitting the oponent and no one dies sorry to say but im getting anoyed with the game.

thirdly i come to the maps PLEASE make better maps and more ranges of maps

Hey luke i have just sent this to the webmaster but hes a drunken monkey so maby you will understand.

Hey Bungie ive been wondering for quiet sometime now and will bungie ever fuse maps like High ground stretching out all around sandtrap? Or use the campaign maps but cut off some of the area to make it more not an indiana jones adventure but to find someone as the juggernaut . For a long period of time ive also been wondering how would you get a screen shot on Bungie favorites because i have alot imean ALOT of experiance of takeing photos of battle scenes and maybe not as good as useing products like the guy that made the gargoyal picture (thats realy true talent , and alot of time ive tried) but maybe stuff that gives you interest and if bungie would like to i got PLENTY of personal fan photos hand sketched for like topic of fan art and the big ones im going for are the old pictures of master cheif because those are the best of times :( and the end is near to the campaign of humans , elites , brutes , grunts , drones , e.t.c. Adding to your acknowledgement alot of fans wouldent like number 4 (or halo wars) to not be tatical Halo wars would have to be you choose Covenant or Human ,plus flood and robots (sentials or oracle scarab) and like if you get promoted to a general thats when you get to use the cool guys such as Arbitar , and master cheif , and maybe a few other REALY cool characters like the prophets , gravemind , Sergant Jhonson , the Oracle , and last but not least the flood spores xD just playing i realy mean that white brute from halo 2 Taturus i think his name was and he was beastly he would be a good one .And halo 4 would be based on time travel and Civilization rebuilding after so many years then it happened Cortana only seemed to be so nice but thats not what the gravemind had in mind . He corrupted her mind so much that all the evil started to pour out again and thier for sentials came back , also a test experiment on the flood gone terribly bad and leaving the battle in Earths last stand . So give in some thought you probley were bord so i leave you with a thank you for reading my letter HALO FAN FOR LIFE - alwayz sunny

Please people be happy with what you got/get. You would think being the makers of the greatest game I've ever played would get more respect... They don't have to take the time out of their lives to update there web site just to get crap from everyone about how they think it sucks. Ask yourself what other game developers take the time out of their lives to even talk to their fans and keep in touch with them. Most of the time they make the game then that's it. Be happy you are even getting updates. They gave us a free map and everyone just said it sucked that's the thanks you give them. If you love this game so much then why come on here and flame to them when you don't like what they GIVE you. At least they GAVE you something to keep this halo 3 exp. going. It really makes me think that the thousands of people that flame are going to ruin everything they do for the people like me. Who love that the makers of there favorate game acually keep in touch with their fans.

It's a barren wasteland or is it?

Sandbox? A forge like Foundry based somewhere near Sandtrap?

And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and behold i am alive forever more, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Revelation 1:17-18 Spartan John 117

Spartanchris01 is curious. Ok I would love to see what Sandtrap Looked like before. I mean before all the sand what was it? Whats under all the sand???

Subject: what kind of glory is bungie looking for?

Greater love has no one than this,that he lay down his life for his friends. John15:13

Even though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death i will fear no evil for the Lord God almighty is with me...Psalm23:3
Clan:Shadow of Death, The Ultimate SwordMasters

i know the fact that bungie wants to see somthing spectacular for someone to get recon but i want to know what kind of glory is bungie looking for so i can try to achieve the impossible for bungie. is it a amount of ppl beaten in a game cause ive done tht ive beaten 100 challengers in swords(when i face challengers its on custom games 1v1) making myself a sword master, or is it making a impossible map(like that one guy who made a map thts diagnal like)
