Of course "Ich Bin Ein Berliner" was from JFKs speech, but whoever said the thing about the donut was right, since it's a name for a common pastry there. All in all the most hilarious update yet, and still some revelant Halo 2 info, quality over quantity!

Though containing no real Halo 2 information, I have to say that, read wise, this is one of the the top two, maybe even the best. Of course, it is only funny from my end, probably sucked to be Frankie during that trip...

Actually this update was not without information and could lead to much speculation. You ask how? "Actually, I noticed, going through single player for the first time in ages," Not a lot has been said about the single player game. Infact almost all information that comes out is about mp except for "censor". Think about this. If single campaign has been done for a long time then there might not be a lot of things in it that are in mp. Just a thought. Not a factful statement. Also this may be a simple answer from someone who knows about programming by why did he have to use a dev kit instead of a regular xbox? Also is New Mombasa the first level? Maybe not since he could have obviously already played it through to the New Mombasa level.

While devoid of info on Halo 2 and on the ilovebees topic, Frankie did allude to the same T.S. Eliot poem in his update as a piece of dialog on the ilovebees website. The poem was Hollow Men and the stanza in question reads:

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

On the ilovebees website:
"Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong:
THIS is the way the world ends."

And on Frankie's update:
"It began not with a bang, but with a whimper."

Maybe nothing, but I thought it was interesting.

To frankie and the people who don't understand the Ich bin ein Berliner phrase. It is german (duh), but translated it says "I am a Berliner". JFK said it a long time ago. Berliner is also a type of pastry. Just because Berliner means jelly doughnut, doesn't mean that he called himself it. JFK said it gramatically correct when he said "Ich bin ein Berliner". It's like Apple Computers isn't edible.

Interesting update. What can be more enjoyable about being in a foreign country than being an AMERICAN in a foreign country and walking by skinheads. W00h000!?!>!>! Glad Frankie got back in one peice. Now to con one of my brothers to drive me to Bungie HQ... and sit next to the door with a sign reading "Will play Halo 2 for beer"... O.o

“Ich Bin Ein Berliner,” might actually be German for, “I have hella spray cans yo.”

sry frankie but it does not stand for i have a hella load of spray cans
this was from kennedy's speech to the german people during the berlin blockade and it stands for...

i am a donut!

(kennedy got the translation screwed up and this was said live to millions of people across the world)

In past updates/stories Bungie has mentioned the MP Beta release, but never a word about a single player beta release, why do you think that is? Is it because they did it internally with their own testers, or is a single player beta just around the corner? From the sounds of this update the game's nearly complete, I mean wouldn't it have to be to garner a rating from the industry?
And the post about why take a dev kit instead of a regular xbox, it would make sense to take a dev kit, so when demo'ing the game you could jump to whatever part of the game the rating board might be interested in.

Was that quote actually on the ilovebees site? I don't recall ever seeing it there.

The quote is actually from the first Cortana letter sent to Hamish Sinclair, back in 1999.

I've seen that quote listed on several different places related to ilovebees, although I've never actually seen it there myself , (I don't really look very much). It's possible that it was just a mistake when they put it in as being on the ilovebees site.

There hasnt been much info given on the SP demo cos Bungie want to keep the storyline secret, basically. There's sure to be loads of new stuff and plot twists that we arent allowed to see yet. Remember the Flood from Halo 1? we didnt find out about them until the game was released.

I think it was a great update...not in terms of actual information about Halo 2, but for pure wit and general funniness :D Nice one Frankie, you should be a comedian! rofl!

And yeah you should have sed u were coming to England...would have come down to London and met u....and then mugged u and nicked Halo 2 mwahahahhaahaahahahahaha

Kidding! :D
