Thanks for the informative update! The testing bit of the update was very interesting. Hopefully we'll see more of this.

Too bad I won't be able to get an opportunity to win Recon this weekend; I don't have access to Xbox LIVE until Sunday. Oh well. Recon isn't such a big deal anyways (people-it's just an armour permutation for a video game, relax! Stop spamming Bungie employees!). I can wait for Fall to come around.

Thanks for the update! I can't wait until we get more info on Halo 3: ODST or more info for the remaining Mythic Maps-the teasing was just hilarious.

I realize that ever since I got a legitimate "first" post I'm not so motivated to respond to the WWU anymore. I still read though.

Thanks for 3 great Halo games Bungie.

Thank you for taking the time to answer those questions. I can't wait for ODST!

Even though you say that this is a barren update, I actually liked it. I wish you guys would have interviews on the process on ODST every two or so weeks, since I like to hear about development on games, and this is a pretty perfect fit for that(aside from the "Making of..." documentaries, but I doubt ODST would have one, sadly.

I was once banned from Xbox Live for a day, although I still don't know what it was for. Would that effect my chances?

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

Please add an indestructible vehicle skull in ODST.

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

hey urk how can i win recon plz

It's totally true what the developers said about playtests, and tests for games in general. I work for a game-company doing testing for their games, and it can be really, really hard-going at times, usually in the beginning stages, but as your directions, reports, and discussions help tweak the game, you find yourself enjoying the game more and more, especially when there's something in there that you did, or you suggested.

Sometimes when there's a lack of bugs, you almost feel disappointed that the game's turning out so god-damn good.

I'm glad to hear the honesty from the guys, game-testing looks awesome in movies like Grandma's Boy, but it's only like that for finished projects ;)

Again, urk, thank you for breaking the usual mold with this update. You did good. Have a nice weekend!

You're so modest. Surely you went to the effort of giving them scripts? ;)

Well, yes, you are quite correct, thanks to all who were involved!

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.

Good update as usual, firing up the 360...

What is that helmet in the picture for the update, not sure I've seen it before?

Wow I'm shocked. Not really just another boring Weekly Update from Bungie. I remember when I use to actually look forward to reading the updates, but now it just the same old news. (not worth wasting my time reading) Here's an idea Bungie go back to Microsofts doorstep & beg for your old jobs back. LOL

It's called 'Discuss' for a reason.
