Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Not having load out options was one of my favorite things in Halo :/

An overheating Warthog turret, oh dear, some people are going to draw some parallels. And then post nonsensical threads. Yehaw!

Why does the sun shine?


Google says:
The Sun shines because it sends out energy in all directions as radiation produced by an ongoing nuclear reaction. This radiation takes the form of light and heat.

Oh. That was rhetorical...

Nevermind, I got it to work after about five refreshes.

Super awesome. Juiciest update in a long time. I love the changes that are going into the sandbox, especially the overheating Warthog turret. Keep up the awesome work!

Good lord, not only a consecutive week with a Simpson's reference but hands down one of the best updates I've read in...months?

I think the grenade launcher, with its ability to time the grenade explosions, is going to be a pain in the ass on CTF gametypes.

Wow, best update in a while.

  • 04.02.2010 4:55 PM PDT

Cool update, I think I'm going to like the plasma repeater and plasma launcher when we get to use it. May is getting closer...

  • 04.02.2010 4:57 PM PDT

Tons of info makes for a great update!

1 month until the beta :)

Someone said the video at the end isn't working.

Also, I think you made a typo. I can't remember where, but when you were talking about a weapon you spelled "That" instead of "Than".

Other than that, great update. I'm loving the load outs, but did you really have to put in the goat herding bit?

  • 04.02.2010 5:02 PM PDT

Sweet update.

  • 04.02.2010 5:02 PM PDT

When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is dropped, it always lands buttered side down. Therefore, if a slice of toast is strapped to a cat's back, buttered side up, and the animal is then dropped, the two opposing forces will cause it to hover, spinning inches above the ground. If enough toast-laden felines were used, they could form the basis of a high-speed monorail system.

Super update this week. I'm hoping the trend continues. Like, maybe, tomorrow.

That's pretty good for 2 hours of music without explosions and people yelling. I don't care if you steal it, but God does...

WELL DONE URK. THIS INFORMATION HAS SURPRISED ME, AND I WASN'T PRE-INFORMED OF ANY OF IT.

  • 04.02.2010 5:03 PM PDT

Still a little worried about loadouts but I'm excited nonetheless.

Awesome update.
Absolutely Awesome.


Thank you guys for all of this info. Can't wait for the Beta :)

  • 04.02.2010 5:05 PM PDT

Thanks for clearing all this stuff up. The machine gun turret change will be nice. Hopefully people decide to use it in Reach. :/

Stosh's bit was also hilarious.

Edit- I guess I understood that part wrong. That is a pretty good idea to tune down the warthog's dominance.

The quintessential update, oh how I've missed thee.

Many thanks for the lowdown on the load outs, urk. I feel both enlightened and excited. Keep up the good work!

Seriously, check this out.

Wow, this game is starting to dissapoint.

Loadouts, which is not anything I want in Halo, overheating chaingun on the warthog, and the whole Armor Ability stuff sounds like crap.

My excitement level just went from 9/10 to 3/10.
