Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.

I thought the screenshot on the Halo 3 Mythic disk was very generic, and it just adds to the glorification of recon armor, i guess when you think about it, it is still bungie's own artwork no matter who's fileshare it ended up in.

ODST is amazing so far, already got the majority of the acheivements. I think it's really dumb that you have to have an account linked to your gamertag to get recon. I spent hours getting the vidmasters, then find out i can't get recon cuz my email linked to my tag got hacked a year ago. Just wondering if there's a different way for me to get it, like if someone at bungie could go on my account and click the get recon button for me.

It's kind of a shame that lost platoon's scoring is unbalanced.

ALL high scores will be on that map now, simply because vehicles dish out more points.

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.

Since this is the first weekly update since release... I would like to say that ODST is AMAZING!!

Also, great update, I always love reading the news submissions.

Been with this community since Marathon.

Aww man, I am disappointed that you did not get pictures of my costume. I won third place in the launch party costume contest with that thing! That has to count for something, right?

Thank you Bungie,

Thank you for your love of gaming and for sharing it with all of us, your fans. I got to the launch party right after work and got to be 8th in line, playing firefight before the doors opened was pretty sweet (props to Rukari + newegg ;) but i must say having the chance to chat with some of the Bungie staffers while we waited was the best part of the trip. the only downside was when my friends car got backed into right infront of the line by some monster delivery truck. trucks eat volkswagens!! *munch munch munch*

Ending the night with completing the campaign was definitely a cool experience, great work guys. always solid with your games, and that's why we love you. and you have nice shoes, that's a plus.


i heard a little tid-bit about a new IP? stoked. do your thang bungie, but don't forget about reach! we are very eager to see what you do with that story line...

PEACE!

Proud tester of the Halo 3 beta.

A little late, but that's an awesome score for solo play! Man, I wish I could've been at the launch party...

Amazing update, and congrats Ryanyyy!

  • 09.27.2009 2:50 PM PDT

Hey Urk is there any chance of gobal leader board (not just a friends leaderboard) for firefight as it is hard to tell exactly where you are on that small graph at the top.

Also I got 109000 legendary solo on chasm ten and there is no history of it, the games before and after are there but not that game, online if you go into me its my solo highscore is there any chance it will ever be on Bungie.net.

Thanks

Tank Beats Everything!

Awesome game, probably the best story of the series. There is much more of a human connection there, especially with Sadie's Story.

But there is one thing that bugs me above all else though, why must there be invisible walls?! Especially the anti-vehicle ones along the normal gameplay route. If there is a hole big enough for a tank to move though, then I should be able to move a tank though it. If it's not, then there should be something to block the vehicle. Otherwise, it just seems that someone got lazy when developing the game.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I would like to have seen a film of that 58,558 point game.

And those 7 billion Grunts ARE going down! There will be no more marsh gas for you!
