Why are you reading my signature? Who actually opens these things and reads them!

And as always, SEND ME A PM. Please. Or really bad things will happen to you.

It's not a crazy spoiler or anything, but near the end it shows a picture of the Bungie homepage and I saw some stuff I didn't recognize.

Picture

In the Comm Chatter there are two articles related to Reach that I couldn't find when going back through the list. The names of the two articles are something like:
More ... News
Su...

U...
Use... Summary

There is also the article next to the SI. It's labeled First: First summary 11/9

I also don't recognize the Firehose: Fantastical, magical content tool! Was this a top story that I missed or do Bungie employees see a different homepage than we do?

If these are things that I just missed can someone give me a link, because they sound rather interesting.

Since we've decided that these are articles we've never seen I decided to go back through to see if they should a better picture, one without a guy's head blocking the Comm Chatter.

I didn't find one, but I did find a picture of the homepage that we've seen. Presumably on the same day.

Picture

This leads me to believe that Bungie intentionally put the secret Homepage in. Since I am assuming they filmed all the computer stuff at the same time, it wouldn't make sense to film the homepage and then run back to the computer, what could these articles be?

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

That is odd.
Maybe they are b.net news articles meant only for bungie employees.
Maybe they are coming soon
Good find

At least I'm not going crazy, I thought I missed an entire week of updates.

Maybe they are going to be released after the revealing on the 12th. The summary article could be explaining what is going to be seen.

I'm talking about the Comm Chatter articles, the top story, and the SI blurb. I didn't notice anything particularly interesting in the Ads so I figured they see the same ads we do.

I have seen none of those headlines either, and I have been on this site most days for about two years.
It could of course be the Bungie restricted part of the site, I doubt that.

Were it so easy.

What does this have to do with Reach?

...The two little articles at the bottom have Reach banners next to them, so they have to deal with Reach.

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

The main story is cooled firehouse, it is next to a few ODSTs and it says it is a tool, so it might be DLC that is coming up for Halo 3:ODST. It might be something like a firefight forge or new firefight maps.

  • 11.21.2009 12:18 PM PDT

could fire-hose be a new map-maker?

It's in the update, about half-way through.

The picture I took is near the end when they go to their service record to unlock Recon armor.

I never thought of that. I was assuming that it was something to do with the updates. Your idea makes more sense, by why is it called Fire-Hose and not Forge?

Maybe because it's like controlling the fire by changing the map.

I'm not quite sure I understand

  • 11.21.2009 12:53 PM PDT

Firefighters use hoses to control the fires.

  • 11.21.2009 12:55 PM PDT

I was thinking it could be a way to morph scenery using a tool similar to a fire-hose. It might be like far cry's map editor.

Reachhhhhhhh

Firehose can't be a new "forge" because next to it is an ODST picture. The "magical tool" part is probably some tool they use for organizing the website or something. Also, I'd expect a better name from Bungie. That is a realy dumb name for a map editor.
