Wow, you guys weren't kidding when you said Moonbase Alpha(Orbital) was the best looking map in Halo 3. I've seen the images in the magazines of it, but that makes it look even better.

Oh, and I really don't want to see what the grunt does for Valentines Day. Eww.

Have a good Christmas bungie! Awesome Christmas card also. And dare i say orbital looks like my new favorite map! I cant wait to play it!!!!!!

  • 12.19.2008 7:41 PM PDT

Orbital...wow...amazing...I'm in lovvve.

ODST...is more or less done? Awesome, keep polishing it! It'll be worth the wait...

Oh yeah...MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Good god this thread is chuck full of brown nosing. Cant anyone say anything but "OMG THANKS BUNGIE!" or "DAT PIC IS SWEET, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!"? The update still sucked by the way.

As much as I agree that everyone is posting the same thing, the update included a lot of info and if you say that one sucked there is no pleasing you. I hate to repeat posts but I have the same opinion as the person in a previous post who said that even if they gave you all the details of how ODST and the muthic maps were coming, you would still ask for more as to how balanced the mythic maps are. Just give it a rest and be happy with what Bungie gives us. I know it seems a bit hypocritical of me to say that people are repeating posts and repeat a post myself but I think it is the only way to get my point across.

Rebellion in small things to let the world know I haven't surrendered.

Exactly. And it looks driveable.....

I'm guessing that the picture is of one of the new maps? Very cool.

Why are you reading my signature? Who actually opens these things and reads them!

And as always, SEND ME A PM. Please. Or really bad things will happen to you.

Post number 65! (or something...)

The new map looks really nice! I think I read that the maps are being released at the same time as Halo Wars, is that right?

  • 12.19.2008 9:10 PM PDT

  • 12.19.2008 9:20 PM PDT

How close is this to Bungie Studios?


That's crazy, you'd think the 2nd bus driver would see the first bus crash through the barricade and second guess his motives to go down such a steep incline. Idiots.
Oh yeah nice update and cool screen!

  • 12.19.2008 10:22 PM PDT

Hey! I play around a lot with screenshots. Feel free to take a look!

Halo: Reach

Halo 3

Teasing is all Bungie ever does, you guys sure know how to manipulate your fans.

I think I've tuned in to read these updates at least once for every week of 08. You guys sure know how to keep a guy hooked.

Cheers, Bungie. Happy Holidays.

  • 12.19.2008 10:23 PM PDT

You cannot be brave if you do not fear.

Great update, and Happy Holidays for Bungie and all of you! Orbital looks so great, my heart almost stopped when I saw that screenshot.

Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.
***END MESSAGE***
***JUMP ACTIVATION INITIATION START***
***TRANSPORT WHEN READY***

I demand a vidoc of some gameplay samples using Staten's voice including his female tracks, you have untill 6 months after the game is released. That is all.

OMFG Orbital! Imagine all the machinima possiblities! NERDGASM!

Oh and also note to everyone on the tv screens if you zoom in a lil doesnt that look just like the planet in the legendary ending?!!!

I agree, it does. Maybe a secret plan by Bungie to surprise everyone. Just think of the possiblities...

I'm pretty sure that's Earth.
