Subject: Bastard things Bungie could do to taunt us in weekly updates:

I don't know about you guys, but if you ever read the weekly updates while Halo 3 was in development, every week Bungie would torture us for our lack of information about the project by saying vague and random things, commenting about stuff that was cool but wasn't important, or talking about the people testing the game but not the actual game itself.

Frankly, I would like to see this return again and soon before I go mad from all the Natal, AR vs. BR vs. Pistol arguements, and the TIme Travel threads. So to help jumpstart the process, I came up with a list of suggestions of jerk things Bungie could do to taunt us:

>Release a Microsoft Paint sketch of a new weapon from the game that has not had any graphics developed for it yet so all it looks like is a big grey box. That would drive the forums mad for weeks as we tried to guess what type of weapon it was from the dimensions of the box.

>Talk about water graphics. I don't know about you guys, but I loved Frankie's Weekly Water updates where he talked about his various adventures with the water graphics of the game as he splashed around on Vahalla, watched the current eddy around various objects that was in the water, how the sunlight reflected off it... just this would keep me occupied until the beta.

>Have a Reach question and answer session in a weekly update and give nothing but painfully vague half truths as answers.

Anyone got anything else?

Just wondering, why do you want them to taunt us?

I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

The Water Graphics update was by far the main reason I was hyped up about Halo 3.

Water graphics make the game even better if they look awesome.

Nothing is better than gaming through the day, into the night, then back into the day. It's like when you finally push that power button you feel like you've accomplished nothing, but at the same time, you can't stop smiling.

I remember back in the summer before H3 came out how hyped I was for it. I loved reading the updates and finding every last tidbit on info I could find on the internet. I hope Bungie hypes us up like that for Read as well.

Its fun. And if you are smart you can actually infer some things from them.
