wow, an update on bungie being such a -blam!- company that they have to beg people to work there. good going.

Now how about an update as to why in the past few weeks peoples ranks have been dissappearing on the screen making it to where you cannot get into any match made game on halo 2.

Ive had my xbox on for 4 hours now signing on and off actully for the first time in months wanting to play this joke of a game and i cant.

great job bungie. keep up the good work of not being able to do something as simple as keep a game server updated and working :)

Yeah, pretty much all I have to say is something Frankie has hinted at in the Bungie Weekly Update. Notice he was talking about how the sound components on the Xbox are different from the X360's sound components. He hints that their next project was involved with the original Xbox. Now think, what games does Bungie have for the original Xbox that will change audio-wise for the X360. Well, Halo is obviously part of that group. I'd hate to say obviously because I don't want cream pie in my face, but Halo 3 is the most "reasonable" answer. END THEORY

i don't understand why they don't just say the title of the next project. 99% of us assume it's halo3, so why not just come out and say it, instead of acting like the information is some secret ballot. It's one thing to say that the project is halo3 and not give anymore details, but it's quite another to say something like, "we can't let anyone listen to audio samples because that would just give everything away..."

and i thought achronos was in charge of b.net... is this your way of telling us he's fired?



Thats just not bungie's style. This is exactly what happened before halo 2 also. And every single time they have something big. Bungie hints at it forever and waits till we are all drooling to tell us. Get used to it.


so all this slow leaking is bungie's style? I don't think so. Actually, what happened with halo2 is that before its release, bungie said a million and one things about the game, and less than half of what they said actually made it to the game (read: ATV, running, peeking, single burst BR, better needler, etc.) So it's understandable if bungie doesn't want to embarass themselves again like that. But now they've taken it to the other extreme by not saying a damn thing, which doesn't make things any better.

they don't have to give us a status report, and they don't have to tell us all the cool new things they're trying to put into the game. But saying something like it's the pulp fiction suitcase, well... that does absolutely nothing. How bout a title first... then we can go into "how pretty" the game is.

Man, this is a sweet gig. Working at Bungie is probably up there in dream job territory.


Ouch. That just hurts man, great timing ;) You're absolutely right about it being in dream job territory. Thanks for at least giving me the chance to try though. Now I know exactly what I'm lacking and what I'm going to be doing for the next year or two in all my spare time.

If you want to see the MC die, play Legendary. If you want to see MC finish the fight, play Halo 3. If you want to see MC finish the fight by dieing, why did you waste six years when you could have done it yourself right now?

Haters wanna hate, let um hate. Let them waste their lives discussing something they can't stand while we point and laugh at another casualty of society.

Hmm... where did that come from? Sounds like some sort of poetry yet it makes sense when I put it here. You see, it's just another way of saying you're a fan. If you come to the creators forum and discuss all the things you hate about it, it means you have nothing better to do, or you're 30 and living at home in your parents basement. It's just that simple.

(Example: The Money Tree commercials, so incredibly terrible it gets you talking about it. There you have it. A successful advertisement. 'Not saying Bungie is crappy, OH NO)

Course, I can't say that about myself. I'm 17, and who knows. I may join the B-army someday. I mean, it's not like I live far... this, update... has actually inspired me. Must.. get... better grades... join... bungie.

i have to say it would kick ass to work at bungie. if they offered postions where high schoolers could work from home, that would kick. i really hope there next project is halo 3. but ive heard a lot of rumors that it wont come it for a while. true? idk. i hope not. it will dissapoint a lot of 360 owners.

When will there be an actual update instead of this stuff?

All the time, every update, we receive something like, "We are working on the project, but we can't tell you yet." Why not? You leaked Halo 2 and it still rocked, didn't it?

Bungie, riddle us this: are you really almost done on the secret project? Or are you throwing updates at us to keep us occupied?

I don't get it; on one update, it said that the project will be revealed before the end of this year; then another update states that its almost done. Now Frankie says he's seen it.

If you've been "exposed" to it, why can't we? And since it will be "revealed" before 2007, when will it actually be released? I'm starting to lose faith in the new project.

Maybe he's proving a point. You just turn him down because you disagree. I mean the updates lately have been in the suck zone.

Hey Frankie, there are more rumors going around that Bungie's next project is Halo 3. Why would you tell us that it isn't a Marathon game rather than not Halo 3? Unless of course it is Halo 3, then you wouldn't be able to tell us it isn't.

i just want to know what the job offered requires, and what exactly it entails and means.

I'm afraid that the only way I'd ever make it into Bungie (almost kinda) would be by playing a part in the music.
I want to be in Marty's orchestra. That would be freakin' sweeeeeeeet.
