"A wise man once told me don't argue with fools, cause people from a distance can't tell who is who."

I wonder if the M6D pistol will be brought back for Reach. I won't be holding my breath, but that would be awesome. Also, firefight sounds pretty similar to Horde Mode, I wonder if that's what it was based off of. Also, also.... E3 swag

My signature changes too often!

I probably should've asked this earlier (and it may have already been asked) but are you guys willing to ship your E3 swag outside of the US? Well, to Canada, specifically? I just want to make sure :)

Alright, maybe I will win something for the second time in my life. Maybe?

Mann seeing ODST in action was awsome! There are many great games coming out this year but I would trade them all in for ODST! I'll be having GCSE's to revise for but when the game comes out I dont think so ;). Do you think you'll release a special collectors edition? I hope you do :D.

That swag looks awsome, really hope I win. Is it okay that I'm form Britain or is the stuff only avaliable for people who live in America. I hope not...

Some people say hacking is like magic, but with computers...I say magic is like hacking the world

Might Dare's head appear a bit large because perhaps shes wearing non bulky armor over an alrready fit body, while the helmet has to be a certain size to contain the hud and what not, so it appears larger. That's not her actual head size your looking at, it's a helmet of who knows what thickness. just a thought.

Halo ODST seems pretty cool. Hoping for some swag :D.

  • 06.06.2009 7:54 AM PDT

I'm so over all of this.

What's the record for most pages of discussion for an Update? I am truly amazed right now.

"MINIMIZING WORK"
"SMALLER MAULER MAULER!"

hey ho wow im reading up a storm. CAN I HAZ SWAG NOW?!?!? sorry bout that. I like cheap things. and whats cheaper than free? also to the gentleman(or woman?) slightly above me (ACCIDENTPRONE), firefight was being thought up before gears 2 was even released. besides, horde could be a copy of mechassaults "grinder", and im also sure that THOUSANDS, okay not thousands but many other games have thought of sticking you in a pit and letting the lions release wave after wave until your dead. im sure there will be many differences and even improvements on firefight as compared to horde. Horde mode may have been a reference, but certainly not a port to firefight.

I'm a Creative Director in charge of branding, web design, marketing, and advertising. I'm also branching into the video game industry as a few of my clients have asked me to create game covers, packaging, ads, and promo items. I'm also an editor at www.gameobserver.com and I've written numerous reviews that have been featured in a few sites. Design, Art, and Games are my life they are who I am. See you online . . .

Fantastic update Bungie never ceases to amaze. E3 2009 was great and the showcase of ODST gameplay was far better then I could have hope for. Giving each ODST it's own style, look, and personality is a very nice touch that will add something new. But the greatest part was how you guys manage to hold true to Halo gameplay, while keeping what we've seen so far, somehow alien and mysterious. Also really like how the story will flow through seamlessly in a new style of transition. On one end we have our Rookie and the other will be ODST stories of your fellow squad, WOW. Story has always been amazing for the Halo series, but this will take us through some great mysteries and experiences we never thought we could have had. Definite buy for this year and can't wait for 09-22-09

Halo Reach has been a long time coming and the trailer was Incredible. After watching that trailer, reading the entire book series takes on a whole new meaning. The Fall of Reach was by far one of my favorite books of all time. Just the shear depth and understanding that, where there is loss there can also be victory, blew my mind. After reading the book years ago I said to myself this would make one Amazing video game. Not too much is clear from the trailer and I will not try and spoil too much far anyone, but "Spartans in their prime and in squads," pretty much sums it up. Not to mention this was the largest loss the UNSC faced because the covenant came from nowhere. But enough on trying to figure out this story. Stories like this are the stuff of legend and they create worlds that we love to get lost in. Mix these types of in depth stories with great gameplay, multiplayer, community, and developers that care and love their games more than the fans do . . . This is a special connection that you have made with all of us and to the world and it shows in your success. You make the games and we'll buy them, I know this is a little long, but I really want you guys to know your are great at what you do and keeping on going toward world domination. Also the saying from this Halo Reach trailer Holds true to your fan base. This is "Sierra 295, we got Spartans on the Ground sir, We're not going anywhere . . ." So in closing, We are your fans we are always here and we're not going anywhere.

P.S. The Halo Reach Art really doesn't need an explanation it's a very well put together conceptual piece. But it is so well executed it will be my desktop for a while. Having a view from the orbit of planet Reach, then throw in a mix of a "spartan squad" on the illusive horizon is a great example of Bungie's Professional Art department. Great Work.
( hope to join you soon, but we'll see)

So super stoked about Firefight now, sounds amazing!

  • 06.06.2009 7:58 AM PDT

Live Free, or Die!

Thank you Bungie. You keep my faith alive. Nice release and a good job a E3. Just enough to make me want it more than I did when I knew nothing about ODST. Can't wait. POPE BEAR

"We're going in. Get tactical Marines!" - Sergeant Johnson

Wow ODST is going to be so awesome. Those two discs sound sweet!

  • 06.06.2009 8:00 AM PDT

Can't wait for ODST and Reach.

Love the Super Buttons.

I still think you should make Sandtrap/Sandbox flooded with water. (Elephants float and already a salvaging machine. Imagine the Mongooses/Jetski racing around like Waterworld.)

Swag for the win.
