Not much going on this week, so skip it if you don't want to hear more about Halo 2 on Windows Vista. A little news about the novels and a very awful Mister Chief, but really, that just can't be helped.

Pr0n! Mister... Chief.... pr0n....
j/k anywho I still dislike the idea. It is an annoying marketing attempt which is completely normal. No point in trying to sugar coat it Bungie...

Windows Vista... I must say that is quite interesting. J'aime les frites!

  • 02.10.2006 3:54 PM PDT

Damn... First time on the first page.

It really does feel nice :)

Cool news about a novel, lame news about Halo2 for vista.

If you stare at the plasma grenade long enough, you'll see Shishka's head explode.

For Carnage, Apply Within.

I have returned from the Untamed Lands. MOAP is dead.

What's OS? and "streaming HD?"

This update makes Bungie look like a bunch of tools. Microsoft tools.

I am really tired of Microsoft using Halo to sell their other products. First the Xbox and now Vista. That's the ONLY reason it won't be for XP. Gimme a break.

Tools.

And that Vista-babble...pitiful.

Tools.

It will certainly be interesting to see if Vista ends up exploding (and not in the good way).

Anyway I wonder what will happen to Microsoft when Halo ends and they no longer have this crutch to lean on...that is if it doesn't end up turning into Mario.

Ugh, Vista...worst move you couldve made..
The game may be done by the end of the year, but DO YOU REALLY THINK VISTA WILL BE OUT ANYTIME SOON?!
its impossible for microsoft to keep a release date based on their OS
and not to mention, youre gonna have to pay 100+ bucks to buy the OS just to play the game..
you shouldve just made an XP compatible version and then jump to a vista update when they release it in 2010

  • 02.10.2006 4:04 PM PDT

Mister cheif ill never look at him the same way again

  • 02.10.2006 4:05 PM PDT

Spartans don't die, they simply go to hell and regroup.

Well, nothing about their "other project", which they said they were "focusing more on" in the vista announcement thing. Still dissappointed with Bungie and mircrosoft over the H2PC for Vista only, but the news of another (x2 i suppose now, at least we hope :) ) novel shunts that to the side, happy days ahead hopefully.

Edit:

Most. Retarded. Comment. Ever.

If you noticed, Frankie said it'd come out sometime this year (Vista, that is). 2010 is just a profoundly stupid estimate.

Whenever this map editor is made for the vista version, CAN WE PLEASE get it for Xbox too? If so a thousand thanks and praises.

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, President Jintao. What an interesting sounding language that is. Too bad I just had to fire my Chinese interpreter on account of he was a -blam!-.

This is going to be awesome!

If vista is gonna cost as much as a 360 you might as well just buy a 360 instead and get backword compatibility plus bungie's next "project" if it's for 360.

Great update. I didn't care too much about the Vista stuff, but the other news was great. I was overjoyed to hear that Nylund would be writing the next novel. He's a damn good author. I'll definitely be looking forward to this.
