Cool. Sounds as if we'll get some new info next week on maps. Can't wait.

33rd Mythic conqueror (Campaign Solo Legendary All Skulls On)

You guys said that there would be at least 1 new gun in Halo 3: Recon. Will this new gun be usable in multiplayer or is it just a campaign goody?

Good Update!

The radical dreamer, where angels lose their way.

Wow, only 4 pages so far.
Gesus Luke, this weekly updates are really getting posted late. Eventually its going to so late, you might as well make them saturday updates, then it will go to sunday, and then the circle repeats. As long as you keep doing regular podcasts, thats where the real info is (Next guest? Jason Jones!).

So does this mean that the Mythic mapack (one words makes it more efficient!) is going to only be 3 maps, or are you only going to get 3 of the maps when you buy the LCE Halo Wars? Just because this stuff seems obvious to you guys doesn't mean that it is to us, the Joe the Plumbers if you will.

But w/e, can't wait to see what kind of creeper tunnels Lars has going. Does he miss LeeLu?

Does Shishka always type in caps; is he that angry? : P

In other news: I certainly do like sound of the render-to-video each week. I must go buy pro. In fact, I'll do it now...

Silkut X asks: In the news earlier, it was said that Halo Wars will come with the Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack including three maps. What happened to the other three? Aren't they part of the Mythic Map Pack too? Did we just read wrong and when you were referring to the Map Pack, you guys meant all six of them. Any clarification would be wonderful.

This question has popped up a handful of times around the Internet. The Mythic Map Pack in question (comprised of Assembly, Orbital and Sandbox) will be included as part of the Limited Edition of Halo Wars. Those are the only Halo 3 maps that will be bundled with Halo Wars.


I hate you.

LMAO I love how he tells the kid that he's not going to send a letter back, because then he'd have to answer everyone else's too... LMAO since when has Bungie been fair to anyone at any point in time?

There is a reason I am user ID 1 and my account creation date is before this site came online.

Glad at least one of my questions got answered. That's pretty awesome about Kuniklo and the Child's Play auction. I guess it was money well spent because at least one person got the reference. Probably just me though because I stalk Kuniklo like it's my job (mainly because I want *his* job).

Poor Achilles. Never will get that rematch. I remember that first game when Halo 3 was sooo new that most people didn't yet realize you could walk up the support beams on Construct going towards sword-spawn.

Awesome Update!

While Dan’s working on the streets, Lars is working beneath them.

A chance to run around through the sewers? Brilliant chance for some little Easter Eggs I'm thinking

I blame stosh.


Proud tester of the Halo 3 beta.

Cool update! Excited for the new maps!

My thumbsticks will be your Doom.... sorry 'bout that.
My Stats

i dont know why i even get on the internets anymore. Really, unless i'm purchasing something like a plane ticket or wrestling shoes it's just not worth it anymore. These updates have turned from actually being informative and titilating to sticky with microsoft's sticky marketing (which obviously just gets all over everything it touches).

I'm sorry i dont get it.... the maps; all SIX of them, are done right?
Christmas or lets call it the holiday season (which starts the minute after halloween ends) is a great time to buy and sell things, no?
is MS predicting that the 18 to 30 year old male's purchasing power is going to greatly increase next fiscal quarter? Like the global economic crisis will be just a faint memory 4 months from now...?
Bungie (lukems) i hope you realize that half your weekly updates... half the time are just back-pedaling over ms's market strategy -trying to explain it without really explaining it to us the fans.

Greetings from England.

Why is the weekly update so weak now? It used to be funny but now it's like an emo kid with social problems.

Sorry if this is sloppy its my first post.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

"It's over, Anakin. We have the high ground."

Pure comedic gold that be.

Ok, here are some of my predictions for Halo 3: Recon based on what Luke said in the update.

1.There’s a highway around Mombasa and Dan has made it something you can play on.

There may be some kind of special sandbox area where you could just fool around in. It will most likely be in the first level or so.

2.Dave, Andrew and a friend from MS, Greg, have a treatment of a sweet loading screen involving the Superintendent.

Since Superindendent is usually seen with a plunger, it might be him unclogging a toilet, or something along those lines.

3.While Dan’s working on the streets, Lars is working beneath them.

Lars is most likely working on the second level in the Campigan. It will most likely have to do with the Unamed Marine going through some sort of sewer system in Mombasa in order to escape the Covenant persuers.

4.Tim made a tank, but it doesn’t have a turret.

Ok, there might be a Scorpion tank in one of the early levels, which is cool. As for it not having a turret I could care less, and Tim can do what ever he wants with it. I give Tim a high five for expressing himself in the form of not giving a tank a turret!

Anyway, those are just some of my predictions. Some of them may be right, but if they are Luke certainly won't tell me.
