Subject: Bungie Weekly Update: 03/13/09

Bow Chicka Bow Wow!

i found about five references to "Mythic Map Pack" and Halo ODST in the source code in a article posted on bungie.net all the way back in 2005.

it says that it was modified yesterday though. hmmmm.



also, i found another post from 06 modified two days ago.

EDIT
scratch that, i am a dumb arse..... i think it was in the source code because of the links up at the top of EVERY bungie page.... sorry, just a little paranoid..... but them being modified in the last two days is still suspicious.

For anyone who wants to know, they haven't announced when Spooky House is going to be implemented into Matchmaking and I don't think you can download it yet.

Welcome to the jungle

On my own, here we go.

The Beatles kickass.
Also, I probably hate you.

I do hope you guys release the Mythic pack fairly soon, as you say, because in less than 3 weeks I'm heading off to Basic Training for 2 months, after which I'm not sure I'll have an immediate chance to buy it anyway. =\ Sorry if this bugs you guys, I just want to get a chance to play Mythic some time in the forseeable future.

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

Meh, that update was alright. =)
Didn't leave much room for critiquing and discussion. I will have a great weekend, and spring break though, thank you. You all do the same...

I know I'm going to get flamed for this...

Occasionally, I see websites sing praises for Bungie for how well they treat their community, and I just have to laugh a little bit. Sure, Halo 3 is awesome, and features here with our stats and screenshots are great--in fact that sort of thing is outstanding compared to what other game companies offer.

But it seems to me that the constant sarcasm in the weekly updates and Bungie's ridiculous stance on providing details of future updates, DLC, and future titles flies right in the face of this supposed great respect they have for us. I understand that marketing plays into this, but some of this just seems like a slap in the face for the sake of, well, slapping us in the face.

I'm sorry, but I'm very disappointed in this sales ploy with the Mythic Map pack. Putting it in the special edition of Halo Wars to squeeze out a few extra dollars in sales, and then being tight-lipped about when it will actually hit the Market Place as a stand-alone download is underhanded, greedy, and just plain disrespectful to all the people who have supported Bungie with game and DLC sales. I'm sure some of you will disagree, and any Bungie employees who read this are no doubt ready to fire back with some snarky response, but I don't think I'm being too unreasonable here. This kind of thing really makes me think twice about whether I want to buy the next DLC or game that Bungie releases. Just my two cents.

Why can't you reveal the map pack release date? I thought you guys split with MS.

Besides, the more codes you give out, the less money you get

Amen to that, good sir.

It's disgusting how they need to put the DLC with Halo Wars just to sell it.
And then they *blam!* with us about the release date, so everyone is like "OMGOMGOMG!!! LETS GO BUY HALO WARS!!!"
Bungie is being really stingy and greedy, and they need to just release the damned map pack already.

  • 03.14.2009 2:22 AM PDT

"Still, something tells us that plenty of you will skip right past this section of the update to ask about the date anyway."

that's a false assumtion BUNGiE. but alas i shall still continue to love u. in all ur absolute power n such :D

Microsoft makes these decisions, Halo's their -blam!- now, not Bungie's.

Might You ever tell us why we get stuck at black screen for 4 minutes when we go to watch film clips with 2+ people? Is Bungie doing anything to fix it?

if it's in your gallery how is it not on your xbox?


I deleted the screenshot on my 360 to free up room, but now that they want a picture of a Scarab, I can't find any way to transfer the picture from my Bungie Screenshot Gallery to my Fileshare. It seems like it cannot be done.

*sadfaic*

Do you mind giving me the date to that update?

Why is the word "Soon" trademarked???


Haha! Bungie has only said it about 10,000 times in the past 2 weeks. They deserve the right to own it...

Sooooo, whats SOON?

  • 03.14.2009 8:23 AM PDT

Soon is sometime before you die... of old age...

and guys you know bungie has no control over when the mythic map pack is coming out as DLC, thats all microsofts super -blam!- marketing strategies that makes me want to give bill a good kick in the balls, but hey probably will only be a few more weeks tops, so it will be "soon" haha.

We understand plenty of people would much rather buy the Mythic Maps without having to plunk down $80 for a game they may not be interested in. We also understand that the wait is super frustrating for a lot of folks. We can't wait for everyone to get their hands on our maps. Our guys worked their asses off to make them awesome. And we'd much rather that happen sooner rather than later. But, it's just not our call. We have to be patient too.
