wth?
if its almost ready for full playthrough testing then why is it due fall 2009?
are you trying to surprise us with an 'early' release bungie?
Darnit, you ruined it, now its no surprise, and Bungie is goin to have to release it at a later date, like Fall 2009. Don't ask if they are plotting secrets!!!!! Just mull it over in your head with glee darnit. I can't post pics, but now would be a good time for that cat hissing at the viewer "This is why we can't have nice things!!!"

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

okay how about some FREE and LEGALY viewable screens of the new maps that are now pushed back even further....

Microsoft's marketing is too sticky.

Did Bungie realize the profitizing monster they were getting into bed with years and years ago? Do they not care that their artfull projects get tied to quarterly earnings and are withheld from then loyal gamer$ for better parts of the year?

bungie, just give us the maps already. it almost christmas for pete's sake.

As each week goes by without any sight or sound of these "new" maps my own opinion of bungie's awesomeness drops again yet another notch....

Have a good break, Bungie.

Are they going to activate the Pelican for PLAYER use?

  • 12.14.2008 3:19 PM PDT

the environmental impact would be very positive if ODST was a download release.

yah but there would be LOADS of downloads probs that could take almost weeks to fix... plus it would take over 20 hours to download... a stinkin arcade game takes 5 hours to down load itself let alone a full scale game with map packs and stuff...
and btw can sum one explains this to mee... i confused as to whether while playing as the rookie in mombasa will you be able to free roam an expansive city like in GTA or are you gonna be shown to the next location in a mission like style? plus will this city be populated with anonamous AI and locals sucha s marines squads and brutes, grunt packs and elites, convoys and such + drivable vehicles?

Nice to know Ensemble Studios' incompetence and inability to make a deadline screws over mythic map pack hopefuls as well.

Hell ya!! Like Wilco, let's begin here.

Halo 3: ODST


The door to Marty’s office has been shut. The “RECORDING” light has been on. Blindfolded outsiders have been shuffled into his recording studio.
Marty and the audio team have also been doing off-site recording in LA and earlier this week even helped all of Bungie get our SAG cards by recording us as crowd sounds for possible use in ODST. Thanks Marty!
All of the ODST mission dialog is written and implemented – thought the current implementation is often the dulcet tones of Joseph Staten coming through my headset.
Damian is working on patrol cycles (think seek and destroy, not vroom vroom) for enemies in the Hub and adding some new behaviors for a foe.
Barry is sitting at a teeny, tiny desk and adding decorators, details and signage to the Hub. He’s bringing things to life.
Adrian Perez hooked up some stuff for some things that will add pretty visceral feedback elements to players.
Halo 3: ODST is just a day away from the Representative Experience milestone and preparing for a team-wide playthrough of the whole game next week.

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

Today, as I prepare myself to drink my very last can of Mtn. Dew Game Fuel because I fear that it may go sour, and wasting it would be such a crime; I ponder the following quote.
Think seek and destroy, not vroom vroom.
Why can't we think both?

yah i drank mine a while back i also wonder like does seek and destroy mean we can free roam around an expansive New Mombasa or are we gonna be in controlled missions. and by that quote do they mean cars or AI that have patrol tracks so they are constantly scouring the city for stuff.... sum one pleasee answer me!

So how do you figure out which Puget Sounders will help with the game.

I mean, Mukilteo isn't that far from Bungie. Doing that would be awesome.

I am just wondering as I might be speaking for the other 570,000+ people that have a copy of Halo 3. Can you tell us how much the Mythic Map Pack will be? Since it is twice the amount of maps from Legendary, my best guess would be 1200. Whether you are aware of how important it might be for others, that is unknown at this time, but I think it's fair to share that bit of information. This is just saving further inquiries as it is anyway.

What can i say im a sniper the sniper rifle is a good gun its good for everything... EVERYTHING

Is there any certain release for the demo?

  • 12.15.2008 4:13 PM PDT

I rock at Halo. I may not be the best, or even Pro, but I kick with the big boys. I also love getting achievements. My fave is Endure, just because it took a bit to get.

Good update but the maps are almost here and there still still isnt much information about it.
