Nice update.

  • 10.02.2009 7:23 PM PDT

I played a game on easy with the chopper 5 million + score and it never showed up on B.net. When I play ODST and click on my name the Solo score shows but it still has yet to show up on the site. Did this at least 3-4 days ago.

Time for a promotion!

Wait, does this mean we can't get the Vidmaster Endure if we use the chopper or does it only effect the trivial high score club?

Thanks a bunch for the Superintendent sound effects this week! Maybe we could see some others in a future update? (*wink wink*)

Thanks, you too!

Thanks for the Update, Urk.

The Brute Pimp is proof of the Living Dead, I though he died months ago.

I pledge allegiance, to the flag, of the United Earth Space Corp;
And to the military, for which it stands;
One army, under Bungie;
Unstoppable, with Spartans, and Carbines for all!

:P I took that screenshot of the 28 brute choppers. It took like 4 and a half hours total :D I'm glad to see it paid off!


I <3 Bungie's awesomeness!

Why has there not been an update about the tons of people who are having problems playing this great game. I'm one of many who have been getting disc unreadable and have to use my friends xbox to play the game. Bungie, inform people about this or solve the issue.

  • 10.02.2009 8:46 PM PDT

Good update!

I had a similar experience with hammer Chieftains tonight, needless to say, it didn't end well...

This week's Blame Stosh was good. About time the Brutes got some payback.

I like that new ringtone. It's perfect for when I get texts.

  • 10.02.2009 8:55 PM PDT

Don't be hating the Chopper, there were only 28 in that first screenshot! I doubt I could get that far with so many Chopper anyway...

Great Weekly Update, and I can't wait for any news of the smallest Halo: Reach development to come to the public.

If you're having issues, call 1-800-4-MY-XBOX and set up a service ticket. They will get you up and running.

Way to make the only exclusive thing about your game completely meaningless bungie. what is the point of recon if 60,000 people have it?!?! I for one am not wearing!!!

  • 10.02.2009 9:19 PM PDT

A bit slow this week, but still entertaining. Still reaching for Reach info.

  • 10.02.2009 9:39 PM PDT

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.

Good update, pics are pretty awesome, the brute pimps will rise again!!

float ComputeESM( float2 vShadowMapUVs, float fReceiverDepth,
float fCascadeIndex )
{
// Filtered look up using mip mapping
float fOccluderExponential = tCascadeShadowMaps.Sample(
sShadowLinearClamp,
float3(vShadowMapUVs,fCascadeIndex)).r;
float fReceiverExponential = exp( -fESMExponentialMultiplier *
fReceiverDepth );
float fESMShadowTest = fOccluderExponential * fReceiverExponential;
return saturate(fESMShadowTest);
}

Make any sense to you? Yeah, me neither. Mip Mapping, yo. Mip mapping.


I'm assuming that was either C# or C++. I could make sense of most of it, but I'd have to see it in context to work it all out 100%. :)
