Subject: Bungie Weekly Update

I just watched it, and I can't believe no one mentioned these two things....

When Frankie is walking, with the fast forward type motion going on, right after the Arcade machine part (which is what I'll talk about next) he walks by what looks like one of the Samsung LCD monitors that the Xbox 360 kiosks use, but that's not the main thing. On the screen is the Battle Rifle, along with the top parts of the Halo "2" HUD and a very messed up looking level....

Also, when Frankie shows the two guys playing the arcade machine, and he says they are researching the next project, the machine they are playing is called, "3rd Strike" and they say they are playing a "first person fighter".

I think those hints right there are enough for me to rest easily until they announce Halo 3 on May 10th at E3 2006.

first of all, the messed up HUD was probably Halo 2 running on windows vista. Secondly, when they said they were "researching", they were joking. They were really just slacking off, but needed an excuse for playing video games. They also completely made up the term "first person fighter" on the spot, just to look professional. lolz you take things a bit to seriously.

there was enough info for me to believe that the next project is NOT pimps at sea, but a 50%/50% between Halo 3 and a new Marathon Game

Im not sure wether this has been mentioned but why was the novelty check to the red cross still at their studios? I thought they gave that to them! It was near the end.

Well, I wasn't able to watch the movie because I can't get the latest version of Quicktime.

But did anyone else notice how the link to the movie has two images of Mister Chief, the second slightly larger than the first, and how the number "2" was under the first one and the number "3" was under the second? Could it get any more obvious than that?

Hey Frankie, I like how you guys "pretend" that your next project might not be Halo 3.

We all know Bill Gates would have had all of you assasinated by now if it wasn't. That fact that you are still alive is proof enough of Halo 3.

Cool tour though.

Did you try saving the file on to your computer? From what you've said, it sounds like you've only been streaming the video. I'd reccomend downloading it, then making sure you have the latest version of quicktime. I really don't see what's so hard about viewing the video, it took me less than 5 minutes to download.

Nice studio,& I think G4 is grinning from ear to ear after seeing you wearing the belts around like that. Also I will take that Master Chief figure off your hands that is in the junk room.

Hmmm.... Frankie said we'd do this, and we are. But i've got 2 say.... I pee'd a little when Frankie had the fake argument with Gates. I can't remember the exact quote but it was something like, "our next project will be everything you asked for.... and it will be done when you wanted it done." Hmmm, I'm hoping it was a hint rather than a totally pointless chance to show the Bungie community that Frankie's a bad-ass.

Wow I'm really starting to lose interest in Bungie. They gave us Halo 2 well over a year ago, which definately had its issues that a lot of us overlooked, and the game's ending left us waiting for a new game. But now anytime anyone asks anything related to another Halo sequal, Frankie just side steps. I wish I could get everyone to stop visiting their website and playing their games so that they could stop trying to hold our attention and give us something to look forward to. I'm done.
