Per audacium ad astra!

Urk, stop attempting to evade what needs to be done: we need to know what Bungie Aerospace is.
Trying to expand upon a few tidbits of info with gratuitous amounts of pictures a Weekly Update is not.
Reach, despite being good, has worn thin for many players and many age-old Bungie fans are now worrying about Bungie...
Damnit, Bungie, we want fresh meat!

Nice Urk!

For you nay sayers: There is a bigger picture going on behind the scenes. More so than you realize. Not that anything I say that will open up anyone's level of awareness though.

Let me put it this way, those who say don't know. Those who know, don't say.

In the mean time, I'll just sit under this Bodhi tree and contemplate Chickenpede.

Nice Update Bungie loved it!!!

  • 02.26.2011 8:47 AM PDT

*Sigh*

If there's no new armor in the new map pack, what do those screens tell you?!
I can see new armor!

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

OOooooo such purty pictures. *sits back and waits for a slew of Forge created Chickenpedes.

Awesome, Team Doubles! And Bad Romance is truly the Reach forum's theme song.

I have yet to see any update from Bungie that even attempts to answer the questions tearing the forums apart. At the very least they could address them in some fashion, even a negative one.

I feel that Bungie is utterly losing touch with its fanbase.

What's with the verbose weekly update. The intro started out as if Urk was going to tell us some detailed and exciting information; more or less related to the Halo Reach multiplayer. Yet there was hardly any tangible information at all.

If no new armour is included with the map pack, explain this
That's not a helmet that's in the armoury at the moment.
Also awesome screenshots and funny Blame Stosh video


In all honesty, that picture could be faked. It says it's from IGN, but I think it was a community posted photo right? I could probably shop' it. Whoever did it did an excellent job but I'm gonna have to go with fake on this one.

Edit: I guess the screenshot was an IGN legit thing. Someone at Certain Affinity could have simply made them self something special for playtesting, but if 343i says there's no new armor, then I guess there's no new armor.

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

Good update. Nice screenshots. Can't wait for those maps.

Whoah, people truly have crazy photographic skills. I can say that I loved almost every single one of those images.

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.

Oh em Gee fantastic

It's from the IGN website in their Halo here's the link to the Halo Reach Gallery on the IGN website http://au.media.xbox360.ign.com/media/142/14276699/imgs_1.htm l Center Column, second row. It's legit not a fake

So, may as well cancel the BWU till the new game comes out, eh?

Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.

So, when are we gonna get some juice about Bungie's new IP?

Will any of the Bungie lectures/discussions from GDC be available in the Bungie Publications area of bungie.net?

I am most interested in "I Shot You First: Networking the Gameplay of HALO: REACH" by David Aldridge.

I'm a dude playing a dude desguised as another dude. I hate heritics, non-logical thoughts and people who are better than I am. People tell me that they like a lot of games, but I hate them all. Whenever I play a video game, I always go crawling back to Halo 3. Never go full retard!

Holy -blam!-, those screenshots were sick! Props to everybody, those were amazing. I especially loved the one with the knife guy in the bubble shield.

I don't get why people expect so much out of Bungie. I mean, no one would expect news about a New Project 6 months after they released a massive title like Reach.

I mean yea, I'll admit, I was disappointed that Urk set us up to be let down this week (albeit a hilarious tangent, the chickenpede in no way should be classified as "explicit details"). But at the end of the day, we still probably have a couple years til a new release, and why should we expect details on some random forum.

If I was Bungie, I wouldn't pay two guys a yearly salary to keep up with the forums and answer every probing question the fans have, it would be a waste...And yet we still get far more insight and updates than any other fanbase out there. Most people get one preview video and a release date. We get weakly...I mean weekly updates, pics, vids, and plenty of tasty morsels to keep us wanting more, and through the whole process.

Maybe I sound like a brown-noser, but you people need to let up a bit.
