The less a man makes declarative statements, the less apt he is to look foolish in retrospect.

-Quentin Tarantino

Absolutely cannot wait for Halo Reach. Ever since I read The Fall of Reach I've wanted a game to feature this battle. You guys better tie in the Banshees with the needler AA guns some how. Srsly.

Bungie never fails to deliver the goods.

(Picturing playing Halo w/ a Natal/controller combo system)

hmmmm...........




unrelated note. Is there any way I can get my hands on some transparent background .gifs or .pngs of the big hologram from Epitaph (Mendicant Bias?)? I want to make an awesome rainmeter clock.

Very humorous update.

I'm lazy enough to be irked that I'd have to change disks to play multiplayer. Here's hoping the final game is substantial enough to use up that first disk's space.

If you have a complaint about the game, just take a step back and remeber how lucky you really are to even be in possesion of it when compared to the millions of people suffering around the world with not even a roof over their heads.

Good update - as usual your stunning verbosity and eloquence puts other game companies' websites to shame.

Don't take life too seriously, no one gets out alive anyway.

I'm liking these meaty updates, keep em coming bungie.

With firefight and bungie's overall position as a developer who commits and responds to their community and criticism, this has only reaffirmed my decision to pre-order Halo3:ODST. (That sentence construction doesn't seem to good ;S.)

I also maintain that Chrome is weaksauce, and IE9 is fast and works very well

That Dare picture, yeah, where is she standing?! Somewhere we haven't seen yet? I hope you realise that I am just posting for free ODST swag, but I think I still make a valid point, we haven't seen the area she's standing in in that picture.

Wow. That update was bigger than Dare's head. (Sorry for the bad joke) Anyway, great update as always. Can't wait to see Halo: Reach and how it would be different from Halo since both are FPSes anyway.
Anyway, just to ask cos I'm a bit confused, will Halo 3: ODST multiplayer be played with ODSTs or normal Halo 3 spartans/elites?
Come to think of it, is there a Covenant counterpart to ODSTs ? like Elites are to Spartans (in multiplayer). I would sure like to see one.

[hoping to get those swags lol]

One cannot dry oneself with a wet towel.

For those not lucky enough to win some of that sweet swag, I hope Bungie makes it available at the Bungie store.

  • 06.06.2009 1:34 AM PDT

That's 9 e's.

Great update! A lot of things cleared up... finally people can shut up about Reach not being a FPS and about the BR not being in ODST. =P

dibs on bungie swag. I hope its the belt.

Ditto. No issues paying for some swag. Love the UNSC bags (perfect for Macbook cases - his and hers).

The Master Chief is too cool to be bothered by such silly things as gravity.

Free Bungie swag? Here I am!

No, all 'greedy bastard'-ness aside, this was one of the better updates I've read in a while. My hat's off to you, Urk.

i bet aussies can't win any swag :( I'd be willing to make a donation for it!!! :)

ODST is looking awesome, a nice step in a diagonal direction away from the norm. Still moving forward but adding a nice twist.

It would be cool to try firefight as spartans as well as ODST's but I will settle for ODST goodness and just turn the difficulty right down :)

Nice work Bungie
