Ha they have this nice car, and instead of getting it some sick rims and a decent paint job they go with ODST. Lol

Hey, good collection of stuff this week Urk.

Maybe when the superstars stop visiting and announcements of other studio's developments are out of the way, we can have some real Reach info to satiate our palates?


Maybe. :)


Perhaps that sounded curt. If so, I apologize! I really do enjoy the Weekly Updates, particularly your writing style. It makes the somewhat-less-exciting more robust =) ie. I've seen Cops on more than one occasion, but never heard of such an entertaining recount as the bout between Bungie and the KPD! And who else could make such a techno-babble-filled segment seem like the coolest thing on the block?

At any rate, I understand the radio silence on the Reach front. After the epic european fail with regard to the ODST release, I am fully behind the level 5 lockdown! All that said, perhaps we can be privy to the proposed timeline for such marketing to be expected? And no, I'm not begging... just excited; I can live.

Kudos to the Bungie team for providing us the ODST goodness to occupy the time until we get our hands on what we're really waiting for. I don't want it a day before it's ready.

Do you pay attention to anything ever?

Anyway, nice update. Is Halo Reach being shown on that screen behind the Athletes? Is that why it is being blotched out? OMG!!!! Also, Bungie started doing stuff like the "All the news..." section when they are close to announcing info about their next game. Maybe people's theories of a Halloween info-orgy aren't so far fetched.

Time since last recorded activity at G617: 879 211 021 hours 14 minutes 32 seconds

Sounds like an AI manned (so-to-speak) listening post that picked up a signal from G617 g1, where according to Roylol1987, was where the Forerunners first encountered the Flood.

But the length of time indicated since last recorded activity is about 100k years. 100,300 to be exact if you factor in leap years. Could be a forerunner AI picking up the hell that Master Chief raised and filing it under 'prank call'.

Well, well, welpity well. Adjutant Reflex is back. Where you been buddy? MB missed you, bless his little soul. Also, that protocol you're talking about? Yeah, turns out one of Reclaimers fufilled it for you. Sorry. Better luck next - oh wait. There is no next time, the viral infection was utterly decimated, as was Installation 04, and 00. Even the lockdowns at Installations 01, 02, 03, 05, 06, and 07 obliterated the virus per new protocol. Might as well go into hibernation again. Cheers!

...and not a single word on the SIGNIFICANT amount of matchmaking requests. Keep up the stellar work, and keep cranking out $60 games right before major competition comes out.

Bungie, any chance you could drop that life boat onto valhalla, I've always said there should of been a usable boat for that map lol.

Chief vs the scarab? I find that hard to believe to roundhouse boot the scarab's figurative emotion out of the gaming zone.

I like it too.

Wow, that's just... creepy.

A synchronous model works by clients sending controller inputs to the host, who waits for inputs from all players in the game, packages them up into a single message, and sends the message back out to all the machines in the game.
So then, could we say that if the packets from a client that contained the controller input got lost en transit, the player would appear motionless? What if only particular packets got lost? ie. Let's say that I'm about to shoot a Grunt with my magnum and the packet that says, "Hey, I shot this Grunt here with this gun", gets lost. Would it appear on my screen, when I receive more data from the host, that:
(a) The shot didn't take effect at the Host's end and the Grunt would be left standing.
(b) The shot didn't take effect at the Host's end and the Grunt would be dead.
The shot wouldn't take effect in the host's end, you would see blood splatter from the grunt, the grunt would be left standing and you would go to the Halo 3 forum and create a "fix hit detection bungie" thread.

The packet isn't "I shot this guy"-type, it's "I fired this towards direction a:b", so you get the same result in the case a "I moved into this place"-packet gets lost, which leads to the host deciding that you missed.

100,000 years, ay? Thats a long time, long enough for one sentient race to die and another to takes its place with knowing of the events which came before it. ;)

Yes, I just sniped you....yes,I just sniped you again....yes, I just sniped your whole team.

Part of this interests me, isn't g617 the planet where the forerunners first encountered the flood?
