Subject: Bungie Weekly Update: 08/28/09

Some day I sell DNA.

I should definitely head to PAX one of these days, especially cause it could turn out like E3 where only a small amount of people can go. That would be terrible :(

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

I love Fridays, great update I can't wait for the podcast.

I'll render videos for free. Just PM me. I subscribe to Bungie Pro and don't have anything better to use the minutes on.

Lol, Shishka's a playa.

Whoa, hang on a sec, what do you mean by "BR-less"? Is the Battle Rifle not going to appear in Halo 3: ODST? I'm no MLG fan, but I still like the Battle Rifle! You can't take that out of the game! The new pistol looks awesome, but I still prefer to have to ALL the weapons...

Bungie said that is going to be a new weapon and you would love it more than the BR so, probably won't be BR in ODST, but you never know!

Can't wait for the next ViDoc!
Time to take multiple trips to starbucks this week.

Speaking of 25 day, I saw a countdown clock in game crazy today at first I was like what game are they counting down. Then I realized it was ODST I can't believe it's almost here. I can't wait.

Shishka could not have made any better changes than what he has done for september. Great job.

Sgt. Avery Johnson favorite quote: Oh! I know what the ladies like!

Rocket Race FTW! I got so much fun playing this gametype with my cousin... every time we laugh our asses out and have a great time!

Sgt. Johnson for Canada also? Alright! Bring it on!

And a 3rd ViDoc... yeah I think that one is really gonna blow our minds off! We will surely have some unseen footage/features from ODST.

Love you Bungie!

Can I please have the secret sauce? Exceptional update guys.

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

I have some questions about the 21st update.

1. Will Team Mythic carry over experience progression from the previous Team Mythic playlist?
2. What's going to happen to Social BTB? Will it still exist or is it becoming the Mythic BTB? If it will still exist how will it be changed?
3 Will Social Team DLC still exist?

Man, I really do want to travel out to PAX and E3 some time to meet the Bungie guys. Great update, looking forward to ViDoc numero tres!

Thank god Pluralti is removed. I never played a worse map in MM.

  • 08.28.2009 11:39 PM PDT

Well, it seems as if all my hard chanting of Bungie not recognizing Canada so well has finally paid off. Good stuff, Bungie, good stuff. Oh, Canada.

  • 08.28.2009 11:47 PM PDT

More teasing of the Flaming Helmet in the Update Picture I see? At least we get Recon. ^_^

As for the Update itself, wish there was more ODST stuff, but then again I guess it would be hard to add more things about ODST while it's coming out in a Month. Great update.

  • 08.28.2009 11:55 PM PDT

If it ain't my chair, it ain't my problem. That's what I say.

I'm excited about Prepare to drop Double EXP weekend. Probably will be SMG and Magnum start on all Earth maps.

"...but Asylum is better than Pinnacle, right?"
"Oh yeah are you kidding me? Hell is better than Pinnacle!"
