Welcome Urk :-)

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

Awesome update.
I look forward to some to Bungie Favs.
Welcome Urk.

Any plans on releasing the smörgåsbord of content you have from E3? (such as "E3: Livin' the Dream" and the E3 edition Bungie podcast)

  • 10.17.2008 5:08 PM PDT

I am looking foward to the new double xp weekends coming next month. Pretty sweet all around.
Edit: luke, your create account link doesn't work...

DEEP NNN = Depends

Clan 2old2pwn on 2old2play.

Don't let yesterday use up too much of today.

Yay!

Bungie answered a grumpy old guy's question. Thanks.

I can hardly wait to brag back at 2old2play. :)

You forgot to address this:
"Let’s dive into this a little deeper and try and address some of the questions that will no doubt arise from the community. First off are the “Vidmaster Challenge” achievements. These three will not earn you any gamer points but there will (eventually) be a pay-off. We’re not going to spoil the fun just yet but suffice it to say that gamerscore isn’t everything. There is a pot of gold at the end of the Vidmaster rainbow and it is something you will want. More details later."

Oh and Bungie please release the Lost Episode Podcast from the fiery depths of your bowls, The interwebz needs food and it's real hungry.

Great! Stosh made a cute mini FAQ.

"Let's pump some butts."


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

Crisp, clear, and full of undertones this week. Thanks for getting out stuff during the week as well as early weekend. Can I haz the Lost Episode of the Bungie Podcast?

Fac Fortia Et Patere

Thanks for putting the music from the trailer up, Marty.

Oh and welcome Urk. Hopefully this means better content on Bungie Favorites, and more Bungie Blog posts.

  • 10.17.2008 5:51 PM PDT

I just thought a question that probably no one has asked yet: Will there be a Halo 3: Recon soundtrack? I love the song from the trailer and would love to be able to listen to it and the other awesome songs that are sure to come anytime I want on my CD player.

Didn’t I definitively and categorically say in the last one of these zany Q&As that Blood Gulch/Coagulation was not returning? No amount of standing outside of the window with a boombox blaring “In Your Eyes,” is going to make it happen.


What about other scenes from John Cusak movies? If I stand outside Bungie in the rain calling you from a payphone over and over, will you please please please bring Coagulation back?

  • 10.17.2008 6:05 PM PDT

Stop arguing over imaginary -blam!-. May as well argue over Santa Claus. There will never be proof that there is/was a god - and before people start saying "HERP DERP PROVE THERE WASN'T ONE ROFLOLOL" well, you are the people who made it up in the first place so we know there isn't one
What created the big bang then? A coalition of genetically modified TR-909s with extra distortion?

IT WASNT good it wasnt bad it was middle middle THANK YOU FOR GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO PICK FAVS < : ) I MEAN THANK YOU FOR STOP GIVING FAVS TO GROUPS

I have a Question about Halo 3: Recon...

Since Halo 3: Recon will be on its own disc, dose this mean that we'll get to save 100 more map variants, 50 more screen shots... etc. etc.? Or will all you save stuff be carried over?

  • 10.17.2008 6:17 PM PDT

ok there has been one question i've been dying to ask how are they going to do health i mean are they going to reuse the whole energy shields thing or are they going to come up with a whole new system for Recon

And thank you Marty. We really do love you.

Man, I am so glad I haven't been around long enough to get photoshopped into pictures like that...


You set a trap for yourself, my friend. You are doomed now.

Well, that was a nice update. That picture on the cover of Art of Halo 3 looks awesome(Warthog looking at two ships glassing something) Definite buy for me, even if I HAVE to pre-order it from the net. Thanks for the official "Prepare to Drop" audio! Marty never ceases to amaze me...Which reminds me...Got to go get my copy of the Halo 3 Soundtrack.

No updated Forge features is sad but is it safe to say that these new maps(Mythic and Recon) will have cool items to place in Forge? Also, since we're back in New Mombasa(albeit a destroyed one), any chance of seeing remakes of the Urban maps from Halo 2, like Headlong and Terminal(or more specifically Headlong and Terminal) in the Recon's set of maps?

Can't wait for the Render-to-Video feature to be up so I can finally get Bungie PRO.

And with the promise of more on the maps before "Spring 2009" could we move on to the weekly reveals(Tuesday reveals I think) you did for the Legendary Map Pack? That way you don't inject complete hype and impatience into the fans and by the time you're done will all the maps, It will be closer to release! Like one out of the 6 maps, every week, complete with pictures(3 like the Legendary Map Pack ones or maybe even more?) and a QnA with the dudes involved in the making of those maps?

Then after all the maps are revealed( 6 weeks), do a massive Weekly Update reveal(again like Legendary Map Pack) and talk more about Forge in those maps.

Is it possible Bungie? Please? I am dying to see Orbital and Longshore. Sandbox and Heretic too. Oh, I forgot. I want to see Assembly in detailed and Citadel too! Please!

Also, No Podcast? Sobs!! When could we see a new podcast or maybe even the E3 one( I want to know more about the Kotaku Joke)

Thanks Guys. Awesome Update!
