Subject: Bungie Weekly Update: 9/26/08

Not what I was expecting, but a decent update nonetheless.

Hopefully for year two of Halo 3, we will see further enhancements to the game's actual code and see less people whining. Also, perhaps we will see the return of a few of Halo 2's stats such as "shots fired" and "percentage hit". ^_^

EDIT: I hit the "submit" button rather than the "preview" button. Haha! Anyways, I was also going to say Happy Birthday to Halo 3. It's been a wild ride and I hope it continues for as long as it can.

Been around since CE done all there is to be done

Bungie please every single one of thoes who are getting the ban hammer should be warned IN THE GAME before you get baned. every one doesn´t check B.net every day to get a ban update. as it works right now doesn´t seem fair to me :/

If I wasn't taking German I would have no idea what the word "zwei" was.
I actually imagined the sappy music as I read what the employees said about the last year.
Great update! I wonder who the mystery writer of the update will be!?

TGIF

Anniversary Screenshots!
Congratulations to Halcyon for the winning submission as well as all of those that made entries for this contest. Thanks to Hawty McBloggy for putting on the contest as well as Bungie for supplying the reward.

Bungie.net Gets Mo' Betta
I can't wait to see the changes going into effect, I really like what you have done with the Halo 3 file sharing based on the screenshots and information provided.

Membership Has Its Benefits
That is pretty cool that Bungie is supplying members with player cards now, oh even better, updating player cards. Very Niiiiiiice. I can't wait to see what Bungie has instore for Bungie.net members when the new fall 360 dashboard comes out. *crosses fingers*

Title Update, Update
Now that we have all seen it first hand and had a hands on experience with the Update as well as getting some of the new achievements I am rather pleased with how it has turned out so far. That is one awesome panorama right there.

Rock Ban 2
KEEP IT CLEAN.

Thanks for the Memories
Excellent stories all around. I enjoyed reading them and some are down right hilarious as well as shocking. I would like to thank everyone at Bungie for all of the excellent memories I have had with Halo 3 over the past year and all of the memories yet to come.
My first game of Halo 3 matchmaking on 9/25/07
Contest that I was lucky enough to be entered in and won. The contest was put on by 950 AM KJR Seattle's only all sports radio and it was done through Xbox Live promotions. I won an Xbox 360 and a copy of Halo 3 which I gave to my father for the holidays.

Very long update, but worth the read!

  • 09.26.2008 7:38 PM PDT

Thanks for the great update, you guys rock.
I just want to take the time to let you guys at Bungie know that you made a GREAT game and you guys continue to do a great job with Halo. I have been playing Halo pretty much everyday since Halo:CE came out and I appreciate your efforts.

My favorite Halo memory:
The night before Halo 3 was released me and my roommate were unable to sleep because we were so excited I only got an hour of sleep then the following night came and at midnight we rushed to Blockbuster to pick up our copy, rushed back home and then proceeded to play until we beat the game and then went online and played for about 12 straight hours before finally passing out from lack of sleep.


Thank you for giving us Halo.

You guys at Bungie should make it so we can download our film clips to our computers so we can make montages without having to get capture cards to record them. You should think about it because that way we could save our clips and delete them to make room for more :).

I really like the fact that you guys kept quiet about what's been going on the entire week...With SI and the new announcement and all. I love Bungie's style. I'm sure its all part of an awesome thing Bungie is doing for us, like they always do :-)

And Bungie really cares. All the new updates..>Are making Halo 3 are better place to be than it already was.

i got your meaning in the last line of the update,
and im actually surprised theres so many ppl praising the update rather than hating on it
for the lack of trailer info


I must admit, I am completely shocked by the responses to this update. Honestly I was prepared for the worst but I'll be damned if I'm not pleasantly surprised by the overall outcome thus far.

....(if that wasn't an open invitation to flame the update, nothing is!)

Seriously though, thanks to everyone who gets it and is a positive force in our community.

I hoped this update had some info regarding the new teaser you guys just released, because the teaser didn't tell me much... When are we gonna hear more???

Can you tell us someting about the Halo MMO? Is it fake or not? If so, I'm glad it got cancelled.

If someone is planning on making a MMO out of the Halo Universe, then they should make it MMOFPS. And I think most people agree to not have quest like: kill 10 grunts and earn 200 xp and maybe a new belt or a magic potion...

neat update bungie!
i don't care who you are but......... halo 3 is great. there won't be a series like halo for a while. i believe that there will be an h4, but it will be called something else. possibly more spartan vs aliens. oh and btw, the pelican looks like a ship from the movie, Aliens.

and one unanswered question.
i have over 1000 gs. will the security helmet unlock for me? it hasn't yet; but i believe that you guys will fix it. thanks for the great update Bungie,

WE <3 YOU GUYS!
And thank you Sketch, Marty, Jen, Max, Shishka, Lorraine, Robt, and everyone else who signed my tee shirt and those pictures for me and my little brother!

The moment that the impact of my involvement with Halo 3 made a mark on my life came about at the wedding of one of my younger brothers, shortly after Halo 3 launched. Before the reception, while relaxing from the ceremony and preparing for the partying to come, one of the groomsmen approached me and asked me if it was true that I had worked on Halo 3. I answered, Uh y eah I did. He then produced a copy of Halo 3 and asked if I could sign the copy, which was for his girlfriend’s little brother. Somewhat taken aback, I signed the game and had a laugh. Later, at the reception, my father came up to the head table and asked me to follow him. We headed over to a table where several of my dad’s nurses were sitting, each with a plastic bag. The bags were filled with several copies of Halo 3 and each nurse had a waiting pen, eager for me to sign their copies for their respective children.

And that wasn’t quite the end. Two younger doctors who had just started at my dad’s practice asked my dad about the Halo 3 article in Time magazine and my small picture in the company photo within. My dad said, Yup that’s my….son ? He didn’t quite know how to react to his son’s appearance in Time or the younger doctor’s request for my Xbox Live Gamertag so they could play Halo 3 with me.

That is made of epic sweetness!

Brian, I think it's awesome that you think it's awesome that we think you're awesome...I don't care about the "no trailer info" actually, I prefer to let my imagination run wild for the time being. Plus, there are a lot of neat theories in the forums. We know that when the time is right, you will tell the fans what exactly is going on, because you (Bungie, but I suppose you as well) are always good to the fans.

By the way, Did they spell your name wrong on G4tv? I thought it was Jarrard, not Girard...
