-blam!- love you guys for making this game from scratch. looks amazing, I hope you didn't just have the mindset to improve on Halo 3 like you did with Halo 2.

From what I've seen it doesn't look like it, though I have a minor hate for the jet packs...but its because I don't like jet packs...

great idea for Halo. makes people easy targets.

Pro Bovis Legio!

Mhm. Nice update with lots of stuff. Gotta' check out the jet-packs when I get the chance.

I'm a bit disappointed at not winning, but I wasn't really expecting it, anyways. I love the winning designs. They really fit the Reach style. Congrats to the victors.

Awesome!

Love the Blame Stosh vid, and the bugged respawn camera.
lol

I'm not so sure about Mr. Shiek at the end of the update, though.
Kind of unsettling, in a way.

Looks like some of the trolls do have hearts!

On to Shishka's note: I couldn't help but notice him saying "death cam." Does this mean we'll actually have a death cam similar to *cough cough* Call of Duty?

Halo: Reach is starting to look epic!

Aww, the music never feels like working for me... Anyone want to post a video or at least leave me a video link in a message? Pretty please with cherries on top!

Aside from all this rubbish, This was a great update.
Thats all you had to say.. "Pi Rutsu"!!




That's not all I had to say, It's all I wanted to say. I don't want to hurt someone's feelings by making a comment about hurting feelings. But aside from that, "Pi Rutsu" to you too!:)

I've been here a decent amount of time to know you're all crazy

Haha love the blame stosh

We’re looking back laughing because they called us crazy, but we took that chance on that feeling, living for the moment, we were spinning in. Maybe we were a lot of things, but we weren't crazy.

Ugh, I finally get the Bungie update I want with the Emblem Design Contest results, on my birthday, and none of them are mine :<

Happy birthday to meeee...

  • 03.05.2010 8:55 PM PDT

Get WorkPLaced!!

That update was hilarious, the whole "dark" conversation had me grinning and laughing like something was wrong with me.

Good update, the winning Reach emblems were very nice. I liked the 3rd one a lot, the 2nd was nice, and the 1st was just awesome, I really liked the way his design came out and congratulations to the winners.

  • 03.05.2010 8:58 PM PDT

I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

Just so I am clear... Is this two man thing real? and is it going to be held at PAX this month or anything?

Good read

Cool update but I was really hoping for some Halo Reach insight on that vid like many others. Oh well, we'll get more info eventually. Keep up the good work Bungie.

Wow I can't believe all that dialogue still needs recording. Nice update too. Also that skull Emblem looks totally BAMF.

A few clarifications for those of us who didn't receive Beta invites would have been nice. Maybe a word on how and why some people were selected and other weren't?

Don't be irreplaceable; if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

Woop, great job on Be A Hero!
And a nice, solid update. I'd love to hear some sound material, just to know how the covenant will sound ;)

Very cool. Very dark. Very wierd. Thanks Urk and Bungie for the update!

Also, love the emblems but now I regret not making one even more.

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Unless it's the middle that toggles out of that 3rd place winner... you just let an e-peen slip through.

Congrats to our newest winners, a skull, a cone and a wang.

761 armless & legless corpses float inconspicuously around the inside of hangar 96. I say they are inconspicuous because it is their arms & legs which demand my attention. I did this, or I could have stopped it. Which is it? It doesn't matter now. I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a Gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you it does. They say every 5 minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there 761 armless and legless corpses in one hangar?

Screenshot my ass, Stosh. You posted up a VIDEO. V-I-D-E-O. Not a screenshot. A video. A funny, amusing one- but a video nonetheless.

Fail.

As the veil of lunacy descends, as past and future blend and shuffle, one image appears and flickers through the landscape, wraithlike. It is the Hatchling, the Newborn, walking the path of corruption, a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows. She comes dressed for war, and her wrath is terrible.

I freakin hate the way they slowly roll out info. I'd rather them say absolutely nothing then hit us with a ton of stuff all at once. I understand why they do it but it makes the ultimate payoff a little disappointing. The run up to Halo 3 was the worst, I didn't feel excited at launch at all. It felt more like the end of a marathon, you were just tired and glad it was over. </opinion>
