You say tomato; I say potato.

Had a great time at PAX! I loved meeting you guys and the Rooster Teeth guys.

P.S. Where is my katana?

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

I read that gun think on Kotaku yesterday. I lawled and lawled and lawled....and lawled.

R.I.P. Halo 2
11/9/04 - 4/15/10

- B( )B

Haha, carrying a Halo sniper rifle down the street probably was not the greatest idea. It looks a lot like a Barrett M82A1, which would scare the -blam!- out of any law enforcers. One shot (even with body armor) would literally blast you in two, that is, if there is anything left of the half which the bullet hit.

Hi

Awesome update. I can't believe that there are only 2 updates left before ODST.

Sweet Mother, that live action trailer was amazing! If ever anyone does make a Halo movie, I really hope they look at the Neil Blomkamp stuff and this trailer and just try to recreate that feel. So amazing. Beautiful work to whoever was involved.

Now, must go back to trying to avoid spoilers.

  • 09.05.2009 12:02 PM PDT

Nice update Urk!!
Keep up the good work!!

  • 09.05.2009 12:18 PM PDT

I'm like a whisper in the wind.

Those Halo- human guns look disturbingly like real guns. Any chance for us the fans to be able to put our fingers on one of them (or all of them)? Because man, I would love to scare a dozen or so would be assailants with each and every one of those guns... That is, in order to find out which ones DO scare the pants out of the bad guys out there...

Did I already said that the Halo 3: ODST Live Action Trailer is epic in a rock-my-socks way? If only a potential Halo movie were to be THAT awesome...

There are only two things I hate in the world. People intolerant of other peoples cultures, and the Dutch


Don't hate my hands just cause they smell of cabbage.

I don't understand......How does one go about obtaining and distributing illegal copies? Not asking for It I am wondering how the hell someone can get it from a secured builing such as Bungie? Hacked mainframe? Hostages? Microsoft empoyees? (probably) And then somehow GIgs of info float around on the interwebs usually unmolested.

And it's happened with every game. Although this one has apparently been pirated much later so it probably was people with pre release copies. I don't know. the whole thing baffles me.

  • 09.05.2009 12:47 PM PDT

It's been a while. I guess you guys weren't able to get anything on your youtube channel yet?

  • 09.05.2009 12:48 PM PDT

"Seems to me you should spend less time on that article and more time working on that novel you've been working on!!!"

That was a funny update. I'm surprised the person mistook the weapon for an AK, it bares very little resemblance. If they had said sniper rifle, I would have been okay. Ohh this country saddens me some days.

That trailer was sick. Can't wait for the game, finally got around to preordering it.

Couple more weeks...

lol, Lars. He's pretty awesome, I'm really glad I got to meet him here in Vegas a couple weeks ago :D

Oh, and playing Firefight was pretty fantasmic as well :P

Eh, I was all psyched for ODST but after seeing that trailer all I can think of now is "why can't bungie make a game like that."

Now I'm not saying "why can't bungie make a game that looks the same as reality," but why can't bungie tell a very personal story about the human experience in a post apocalyptic alien wasteland in a way that is actually believable. The gung-ho men we have with the upcoming game are fine, but at least from what I've seen they failed to convey the emotion and setting, even when granted a lot of dialogue and a expansive city, that a 1:30 commercial pulled off without an intelligble word or recognizable backdrop.

It was the same as with the Believe campaign and Halo 3. A plastic diarama and a few reaction shots told a better a, more human, story than multi-million dollar interactive entertainment with 3 years of dev. time. Granted, the gap between ODST and it's publicity is not as great as Halo 3's casm, but it is still there, with the arcade antics of super space marines superceding believable human reactions to a horror that the environment and plot fail to match.

Though here's hoping that 9-22 proves me completely wrong.

So those french purchasers of ODST are automatically banned? That's absolute bull -blam!-. Rather than blame those who are responsible (the retailer), they convict the innocent. Guilty until proven innocent, at which point you've already gone to the gallows. Bravo. You can say they should have known better, but is it their fault? Not everyone knows the release date is September 25.* Imagine how you would feel if you were some kid and it's your birthday and you've asked for ODST for your birthday. Your mom goes to the local gamestore to reserve a copy and finds its available so she purchases it right there. Then comes your birthday and lo and behold you can play it. Now you don't frequent the Bungie forums everyday so you don't know the exact release. Two days later, Bungie permabans you from matchmaking because you weren't an avid fanatic of everything Bungie no matter how insignificant (like the release date of their next project). You were only a fan of their games and honestly purchased a new copy of their latest game. For not being a big enough fan to know everything Bungie. For this, you get banned. Pathetic. Blame the retailer and don't do business with them; don't crucify the casual fans who happened upon the game.

*September 25? My point exactly.
