"Let's pump some butts."


Note:Unashamedly taken from Luke Smith's battle cries.

6,600 folks banned already! That is amazing! I laughed my butt off the moment I read that. I may be what some people call a "Boy Scout", but I think if Bungie brings the cold hard steel of the ban hammer down on someone that person deserves it. Keep up the cleansing plague!

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


Nice. I didn't know/never saw it... but it is far the from first time. You'd think a business card with your name on it AND signing a release form and filling out your information would be enough of a clue.

Hold on one freakin' second. Your name isn't Sketch?

Next you'll be telling me Achronos' name is Tom! But I won't believe it. Because I'm smart. =)

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

Wait, every one who gets it? Is there more going on here than meets the eye? Is this another update with hidden meanings and clues to a greater goal? Just say yes, it makes me excited. Those last two were a real doozy, and no real hardcore revelations were attained from them, but another one is always fun. Another one, always fun...

Happy birthday, Halo 3! And congrats on year one, Bungie! Hopefully it will be the first of many. (Or, at least until the next major Bungie game comes out. :D) Thanks so much for making an awesome game. We, the fans, appreciate it. Thanks for being such an awesome developer and for communicating with the community (no matter what other people on this forum say, Bungie listens to the fans more than most other game developers, if not all of them). I hope that these next few years are good for Bungie and for its fans, including me. Good luck, guys!

The memories section was great. Just another example of how awesome Bungie is. And the site updates look great, too.

If Bungie doesn't have anything to say about the new maps or the teaser, then I won't say anything either.

Anyway, sorry for the suck-up post. But, hey, if you're going to kiss someone's butt, at least do it to someone who's awesome, right?

All right, all right, I'm through.

God bless Bungie!

P.S. Cheneymania. XD

Hell Yea 7th page!

Congrats on one year of Halo 3! I've played about 1100 matchmade games over the year, got my brig back in december, and have been having a fun time getting the new achievables!

I will say though, its impossible to find CTF on a legendary map, sorry, a real Halo fan wouldn't let you off with out b*tching! I just have those 2 CTF achievments before the 7th.

13 years since i started playing computer games, and bungie studios is still the best production studio

i had my Arrival on Marathon, picked up some Bigger Guns Nearby... and never looked back

the reason i bought an xbox? halo (oh, how i would have loved it to be on a mac though)

the reason i bought a 360? halo 3.

favorite moment of the last year? gotta be my first extermination

swat on rats nest - our team was up 46-43 and i turn the corner to the outside from the middle section. i see all four members of the other team looking directly towards me in a spread diamond (one half way up the ramp) and go anti clockwise around the circle - it took 6 pulls, but i got four headshots... and dropped - a teammate came out to keep shooting, and clipped me in the back of the head... my jaw dropped. then im just listening to the announcer on the game and hear "double kill! triple kill! overkill! killing spree! extermination! game over." all while my teammate that clipped me is teabaggin my corpse

bungie, thanks again for another awesome game - i eagerly await your next title - i have no doubts it will be excellent

hats off to 819

Only 6,600? I was really hoping I could say over 9000!


Oh yes, I LOLed.

I think if you are a first time offender you should get a warning and the second get banned from matchmaking completely. just think the Xp ban is a little harsh for a first time. Still a great update but need info on mythic maps!!!!

  • 09.26.2008 10:09 PM PDT

Yo, Bungie!

Stay Classy ;) <3

My favorite memory:

Spawning a ton of pelicans into the multiplayer main menu screen because I wanted to see if I could get one to hit and kill the spartan or elite...

It so worked.

Seriously though, thanks to everyone who gets it and is a positive force in our community.
seriously though, what's to get? is it that you choose to release a teaser that is far too vague to grasp any concrete info from and then say nothing about it, pretending to be holding some incredible secret? this is only a videogame. now i love halo as much as the next guy, and i can understand the need to glorify your creations (or in this case, your careers), but this constant tease of worthless tidbits is just ridiculous. just tell us all that you can about the things we want to know about (not how bungie employees spent their summer vacation or whatever this week's BS topic is) with a straightforward answer and people will sing your praises. instead, you choose to constantly jerk your fans around by ignoring the topics we want you talk about. remember bungie, we buy your games, so the least you could do is give us information without dangling tasty stuff in front of our faces and ripping it out of our grasp the second we reach out to touch it.

i mean no serious disrespect, but i'd think if you did a better job with these updates, you're community would be that much more appreciative and views like mine would never come up. flame me all you want, or simply ignore the message i have for you. i'm sure there are thousands upon thousands of other people who feel the same way i do about your weekly updates. worth thinking about it...

edit: thank you to all of you who support my view. all of your messages are reassuring that i'm not all on my own here.
