Ok I have one question. What will the Mythic map pack logo be? You know the Herioc map pack is the herioc campaign symbol and the Legendary map pack is the legendary campaign symbol what is the Mythic map pack going to be?

Sandbox looks pretty interesting. Hopefully they'll be plenty of Forge variants in matchmaking. Also,

lol, I love the reference to The Divine Comedy. I forgot which layer of hell it is exactly, but I remember clearly being described being in the water you can't drink with fruit dangling above your head that you can not reach. I think you were sent there if you engaged in gluttony.

"Seems to me you should spend less time on that article and more time working on that novel you've been working on!!!"

Those that are tired of Bungie hyping and not delivering aren't thinking logically. If every other game developer had an interesting website of their own with this kind of connection with it's community (which is almost a joke, I'm not even sure if it's possible, Epic's site comes the closest but it still is missing that "mommas house" kind of welcoming feel to it), everyone would rant at them about how they aren't giving out any secrets in their own weekly updates. As far as I know, Bungie's webpage staff do a lot more than any other developer's, and if you've ever looked farther than the first five top stories at the top, you'd see that Urk makes this quite clear, giving the community an enormous, if not disgusting amount of things to go check out that relates to halo, each day. If that aint rich enough for you, get out mah Bungle, cause there is plenty of news here, and the staff at Bungie have a commitment to their job first. If it weren't for this job, there would be no game, and no community. They have to keep quiet on stuff, just like any other developer, except for these guys, unlike the others, Bungie has to inform us weekly of what's going on, and that makes it hard to be a part of the community, and still keep their bosses happy. Those of you that can't understand that should halt your mother from bringing you that hot pocket down to you in your basement, and go look for a job, so you can see what the working world is really like. Excuse that last bit, I'm sure some of you are not 14 year olds who got their parents to get this game for them. It's just easy to assume that if you can't see their implications for being this way, you must be ignorant and have no grasp of reality yet because it hasn't kicked in. Again, not to attack anyone, of course. Just singin' about what I see.

Liked the references to Greek Mythology and SEINFELD. BEST SHOW EVER!

Whoah, whoah, whoah, Bungie, i'm not sure you know who you're dealing with, that guy was Da Player. Not just any player, but Da Player. Always funny to see the requests for Recon, those really make my day.

Sandbox looks awesome. I am wondering though, it seems as though on the outskirts of the map the terrain is uneven. Will this affect placement of objects? And also, will the map contain any "off-limits" areas like there are on Snowbound and Sandtrap?

Can't wait to play it though!

Thats what I was wondering. There surely has to be more area to it than that right?

Semper Fi Mother F*****

Hey one question, this probably should have been posted in last weeks news update. Anyways, when Bungie said how Truth replaced the Elites with the Brutes for command of the Mombassa forces, what happened to those Elites? Were they killed? Deserted? What happened to them?

Cannot wait for Sandbox =D
It's like an outside and oversized Foundry
hehe, good times.
Thanks bungie! :)

  • 02.01.2009 1:29 PM PDT

Wort, Wort, Wort!

K i figured out sandbox! it looks like all those pieces in the picture are deletable (they just have this obviously blocky look to them) and it's like foundry, Except! if you click on the embedded version you will find that the pictures name (not the caption) is called sandbox environment 1!!!!!
this means the background/overall look can be changed! so the ramps when the environment is changed would change their look to match the surroundings!!! URIEKA! (or how ever you spill it)

PS: i speled spell wrong on purpose.
PPS: i spelled spelled wrong on purpose too!

that last part about that dude got me mad. seriously, it was obvious he was just being funny. suspending him is stupid. youd think, being men, that youd appreciate people to stand up to you when what you do is wrong, but youll probably just suspend me too. i could do without this, i just think that players being treated that way is unfair. to put it simply, listen to your community, and just dont read it.

what would freelance software programmers have to do with bungie i wonder...

Bugs in halo reach final game as of 9/2/10

in forge i am trying to make gametypes objectives but all i see is hill markers and flag points. If im trying to make a ctf game variant and i use the capture point and the flag stand and go into custom games. There is always a error saying "map not compatible with gametype" This is not just with ctf but with most other custom game and map variants.
EDIT: this was just a understanding issue that was cleared post-game release

can there be flyable pelicans?

  • 02.02.2009 3:48 AM PDT

i wish... lol
flying a pelican away with the enemies flag...

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

In a way, we all have a digital timer hanging above our heads. How morbid.
Hey, that would make a cool music video.
