Haha! Brute Pimps. Can't wait for Halo Wars and the Mythic Map Pack!

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

I love Shishka's "first" reply. I hope he actually reads through this and bans the couple of people that made posts that fall under the "whatever" category.
And I too would love to see the Brute Pimp. I was thinking maybe in a special edition of the game, they sometimes show video of them working on the game, maybe they could show a clip of that and then go on to explain why it happened, etc.

Very nice update, and I'm glad to see that the render to video feature is on its way. You guys should have used my halloween picture costume again which was featured in 'Tag and Release-Brute'. That would have gone great in tonight's update. Oh well, I man can dream can't he?

Halo: CE Anniversary Achievement Idea
C-C-C-CANNON BREAKER!
Let Sgt. Johnson die on Halo.

Wow, that was a great update. Loads of goodies packed into it. I personally laughed at the last little tidbit though, hehe.

I don't want random messages (ie, Join my group, etc). I have begun blocking solicitations.

The thing in the background of the sketch of Sandbox looks like Epitaph to me.

Life isn't like Halo, you don't go "Boop. Boop. Beep!" and come back alive.

Also, Is it me, or does the concept art of the new SMG look small? Take out the fore grip and retractable stock, and you've a largish pistol.

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

Your report was both clear and concise. I look forward to seeing the progress you have made with my own eyes.

The only time consuming part is picking out the colors since I'm colorblind.

O RLY?

I don't need a signature.

Man you guys really now how to milk your audience. It's ridiculous that you would only include maps for Halo 3 on another separate project, Halo Wars (and of course it's the more expensive Limited Edition that you have to buy). I am starting to think you guys don't care about making games at all anymore, since all you do is capitalize on recent renditions of Halo, and let marketing dictate the gameplay (READ: make a solid game with all the maps it should need or make another game. Don't keep pedaling out maps and features that should have been included in original release or you guys look like con-artists and money grubbing clowns, which you do...

Either make the releases for the game we already paid for FREE, or relegate yourselves to being the "greatest creators" of a marketing gimmick that you just made all your games out to be.

I guess I shouldn't be so mean. Looking at it from your perspective, you'll make plenty of money of us, right?

"How much is it again for the Halo CE download, the new maps, or how about that Halo 3 Xbox background, I really need that...."

....Far is your fall from Grace.

Microsoft controls all pricing and distribution of DLC. If you have beef, they're the guys to take it up with.

Great update! Lots of info!

One question though. Roger once said that he'd put up some polls on B.net, in relation to the render-to-video feature, for us to, I dunno, tell him what we like. Is that still going to happen?

PS. It was also definitely mentioned in a weekly update that it would include the .wmv format.

: )

Dont get too wrapped up in the Internet. It's already forgotten about you.

Best update in a LONG time.

The first 3 paragraphs were kinda fluffy,
but after that the juicy nuggets were tasted.

Thanks for clearing up the Mythic Map pack situation.
Guess I'm sold on 2 LE copies of HW.

I like the sound of the New Hawtness SMG.
SMG with a scope, eh?
Cool.
I like what I'm hearing Bugie.
Keep up the good work.

And Shishka, did you ever see the Halo Rehab video I made or what?

Its not a scope, its a reflex sight, which is faster to acquire a target than iron sights.

And with that,let the H3F go wild.

P.S. when is the update for "Pimps at sea" coming out?

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.
That picture is a masterpiece. It should be framed.
