Just an Average Joe...

Nice update. Thanks, Urk.

Hmm, no ODST for me. It just looks too awesome. I'd fail out of school and end up living under a bridge.

Awesome update.

Nice to see some confirmation of video s coming our way. Maybe a little ViDoc surprise this week? Hmm?

Anyway, Bonus Round sounds freakin amazing. It would be even better if we could just choose the round as a fun minigame outside of Firefight right?

Bonus rounds sound really cool and fun, a nice way to add extra lives to the game.

Anybody consider that it's going so slowly because we are all trying to access it and it's not even supposed to be public yet?

Also, if that is the case, it means it's also slowing down for the employee...he's probably going to just get up and go to Outback for a nice Bloomin Onion and we're gonna all be left sitting here wondering what the heck just happened to our mystery man

Amen brotha!

Anyways [>.>], very nice update. I can't wait to play some firefight, it looks [and sounds] soooo awesome.

I don't need a signature.

"Secondary disc. Boy, that was a pretty crappy way for us to describe the Halo 3 multiplayer disc that comes with Halo 3: ODST, wasn't it?"

Yes, you guys are messed up. Don't include add-ons for a separate game or to increase sales of a new title (especially from other studios, i.e. Ensemble Studios' "Halo Wars"). You've really cheapened the experience for us all.

Great update! Bonus round sounds amazingly fun.

I am also very glad Bungie will be at Games-Com. This will be the first time I can go to a big gamesconvention(most of them are in America, and Cologne isn't that far from the Dutch border ^^). But where can I find you guys at Games-Com? The Bungiebooth will be the very first one I want to go to. And I hope you guys bring lots of swag. I'm dying for a ODST t-shirt.

how do u get recon armor,if u hav please send or giv i will do anything to get recon just tell me what to do,just send message to Stalky THE Ultra.

  • 08.15.2009 12:49 AM PDT

I'm a serious dude, so what?

A great read, again! Keep up the good work, urk.

A word of advice, I think you get pretty passionate when you're writing so you need to double check for typos/missed words. I still give it an A.

Thanks for all the info, but I need a clarification. What did you mean by "aggro Brute Chieftains?" You guys have been bragging on the enemies' intelligence in the game, does this mean Chieftains utilize a manipulable aggro system?

Haha, man I completely forgot about the SF2 bonus round stuff. That game was the stuff.

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

The Mario glitch reference made me grin. I just hope the younguns here get it.

Tank Beats Everything!

Ah, bonus round makes me look forward to ODST even more.

But I do have to say, I would have rather heard something about the possibility the Halo movie being produced by Steven Spielberg, as I read in an article earlier this week.

Decepticles!!!!!!!!! More than you bargained for!!!!!!!!

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Break the rules,
Stand apart,
Ignore your head,
And follow your heart

i like the bonus round idead

btw. do you guys think bungie will make "We Out" a trademark? they use it in just about all there blog posts, i dont see why they shouldnt

  • 08.15.2009 7:26 AM PDT

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Sorry lol
