I used to be a huge Bungie fanboy.
Since Marathon.

But after reading this latest update, where they say there is nothing to write home about... no info... blah blah.

Well the cheaters are already taking over the leaderboards.
The Hackers are manipulating matchmaking.

Yet Bungie has nothing to say.
I just don't get you anymore, Bungie.

I'm past being frustrated.
I getting to the point where I don't even care anymore.

I used to have fun playing your game online.
Now I find myself just shrugging my shoulders.

I know.
I know.
I'm just one fan.
You can writre me off.
It's no big deal.
I'm not really a member of the 7th Column anyway.

It's just a dream.

Frankie i am just commenting on what you said about halo 3....

well i got this info from an official cite so why dont you just admit you are making halo 3 for xbox 360 its not that difficult and everyone already knows

Halo 3 parrying PlayStation 3 launch
>> From GameSpot.com:

In next week's issue of Time Magazine--which features Gates holding the Xbox 360 on the cover--Gates mentioned plans for the release of the much-anticipated follow-up to the best-selling console shooter. In a parenthetical sidebar in the article, Time says the following:
"Note to the hard-core faithful: the next version of Halo will not, repeat not, be ready in time for the launch of Xbox 360. It will be part of the all-important second wave next spring. 'It's perfect,' Gates says, radiant with bloodlust. 'The day Sony launches [the new PlayStation], and they walk right into Halo 3.'"

Unfortunately, I've heard that 360 will almost be $500. Which is the price of a low-quality laptop - BUT STILL A LAPTOP! Except it's a low-quality laptop you can only play games and put music on. Good god.... How much better can gaming get than xbox other than an actual PC? NOT MUCH! Microsoft should just keep updating xbox like it's been doing instead of forcing players to spend half a grand on a new gaming consol.

Xbox pretty much has unlimited memory and top of the line graphics. Not to mention the most resources via the its producer Microsoft. PS3 will sell tenfold what 360 will simply because its Sony which is Japan-marketed. Microsoft gets most its sales in America and Europe. Sony gets world wide. The PS3 consol will sell more than 360 hands down.

I hate Sony, but it's a fact. Now, instead of attempting to out do them in sales (especially with a $500 consol) just MAKE BETTER GAMES. The only reason people buy Xbox is for Halo. I wonder why people will buy 360 then? Oh yeah, release H3 on it and force a spending of roughly $600 to beat Sony in annual income! I forsee broken dreams and broken hearts in 2006.

Like MS doesn't have enough money as it is... instead of making more, just build a fan base. Between a $600 investment of a consol and one game (not to mention a possible new live subscription?) and whatever Sony will dish out worldwide for half the price - who's going to win?

HS}Bounty Hunter asks,

What are you guys doing about matchmaking quiters. It really hurts when your teammates just quit on you, and the other team pawns you. Although its really nice to beat the other team single handedly, it rarely occurs. I would like to know if you have any ideas of how to punish quitters, and yet help their teammates. Like say subtract half of that persons kills from the other teams. Or, don't count have of the other teams lowest kills person. I would enjoy seeing the quitter punished, but since i usually have a quitter on my team, i'll probably suffer the consequences, too. I would really like a solution to come to all this madness.
Thanks.

You either forgot to lace that comment with sarcasm or you have not played very much halo. As soon as it's okay to kill your teamates, spawns will suck if your team is losing. When your team is down they tend to argue amongst and then someone tries to be "funny" by killing another teamate. If you think they should just be allowed to kill all on screen in a team based game then you should just play rumble pit games.

I read that the wireless will be chargeable through the usb ports and have internal rechargeable batteries.
HALO 3
Bill gates announced on the 13th that Halo 3 will be released at the time of the PS3 launch. So why does bungie deny that they have even decided what game they are doing next? It is not Microsoft holding you back anymore if Gates is stating publicly that Halo 3 will be a synchronized release with PS3.

sometimes when i play teamslayer, maybe half of my team quits because our team is 1 point lower than the enemys score.1 POINT LESS, AND YET THEY QUIT!!!! and one time i was extremly unlucky enough to have all my teammates quit because they kept getting killed. this was on colossus, and i happen to be wandering around the level edge, looking for a good weapon, then i notice there are no teammate gamertags around. then i really felt very much alone. but then i also realized, i face 4 enemys that havent quit the game, and they happen to be very good at racking up points. and beaver creek seems to hate me! i have played a whole ton of games on that map and every single one of them i have lost! i do really well on other maps, but this one really hates me!

Halo 3 parrying PlayStation 3 launch

Time quotes Bill Gates saying Sony's next-gen console will "walk into" the Xbox 360 follow-up to the best-selling sci-fi shooter.
For months, the Web was rife with rumors that Microsoft would ship the sequel to Halo 2 for the Xbox 360 simultaneously with the launch of the PlayStation 3. Now, that has been confirmed--by none other than Bill Gates himself.


In next week's issue of Time Magazine--which features Gates holding the Xbox 360 on the cover--Gates mentioned plans for the release of the much-anticipated follow-up to the best-selling console shooter. In a parenthetical sidebar in the article, Time says the following:

"Note to the hard-core faithful: the next version of Halo will not, repeat not, be ready in time for the launch of Xbox 360. It will be part of the all-important second wave next spring. 'It's perfect,' Gates says, radiant with bloodlust. 'The day Sony launches [the new PlayStation], and they walk right into Halo 3.'"


Say it is So Frankie Say it is SO!




dude, you did your homework! it sounds like a bill gates move, i hope your right. anybody who thinks any console will be better than xbox is crazy. i collect consoles for fun. i even have an "intelavision" from way back and xbox is the best. period. bill gates is too competitive to give-up the trophy. i love all games. im not being bias. i do think they are holding back some serious FUN though!

*****FRANKIE BABY*****
A FEW REALISTIC COMPLAINTS

MAP EDITOR: we make 'em, you ok 'em (maybe let forums vote), everyone plays
EMBLOM EDITOR: same thing, we make 'em, you ok 'em

with the money thats been made by this game alone (the first day even), you would think the next one should will have these types of things.

Halo CE = Lan party
Halo 2 = Live
The reason so many people think halo 2 takes no skill is because in halo ce the only competition were friends in the next room. when the same people get on live, they realize they are no where close to being the best and therefore blame their loss on unbalance in the weapons and game.

So will there ever be any new warthogs or even the tight atv that the first pics displayed? or will we just be left with the boring warthogs?

Whats up with 2v2 lvls? foundatoin(one team ends up geting both rockets and just murder the other team regardless of skill) and beaver creek(CTF/ slayer guy with oversheild gets rocket and owns the other two)

Hey Frankie,

I too was wondering how much this SWEET XBOX 360 will cost because I have heard it might be $300 or as much as $500. I was also wondering if their will be a DVR on the XBOX 360 cause if Microsoft has not thought of that feature, I believe that would blow everyone out of the water.

Savagesquirrel2

PS. I came up with the whole DVR thing first for the 360! ha

erm, when u talk about the fuel rod cannon being too powerful, that doesnt really say much. there are also many other weapons much more powerful than the fuel rod cannon. The rocket launcher is fast, with 1 hit kills, and the plasma pistol takes down shields in 1 hit, and u can duel wield it. Yes, things u already know. But if u said that the fuel rod cannon would hurt/damage/kill the balance of weps in halo2 multiplayer, well id have to say "BUNGIE, YOUR WRONG!!!" 1st off, it doesnt lock onto things, although it has 6 shots per clip and it shoots at a fast rate. These are not things you cant change, and even if it did *disturb* the balance of weapons, i think that people wouldnt care as much as long as they have it available. O YEA, DID U GUYS FORGET OR SOMETHING??? Y NOT JUST PUT IT AS A WEAPON U CAN ACCESS IN A CUSTOM GAME??? HUH??? SERIOUSLY!!! U KNOW, KINDA LIKE THE SETINEL BEAM?!?! id say many,many more people that play halo2 could care less if it disturbed the o-so-sacred weapon balance than the ones that would oppress this. PLEASE, MAKE THIS A QUESTION IN UR NEXT WEEKLY UPDATE!

Another question, y does the shotgun suc? i mean, shouldnt technology IMPROVE over the course of 500 years, not decrease??? just a little bit more range, speed, and power to it. i mean cmon!!! a battle rifler can kill you before you can fire 2 shots off of your shotgun, (with an easy experiment i found this out.) again PLEASE ANSWER THIS AT THE NEXT WEEKLY UPDATE, BECAUSE *MANY* PEOPLE WOULD LOVE TO KNOW!!! thanx a lot BUNGIE.
