I love it how you threaten legal action, then proced to co-opt moon patrol.

There's another little project that's been brewing here for quite a while now that's really getting me excited. I think Frank may have hinted at it before and I can tell you it's NOT a game. But really that's all I can tell you. For now. I suspect there will be an official announcement coming from our partner within the next month or two. Stay tuned.

I cant believe no one else has taken notice of this!

Thanks for the public ILB2 disavow. That's going to save a lot of headaches.

And yes, Warthog Moon Patrol would be sweet indeed.

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

I'm confused, there's a part where Frankie said Bungie wasn't working on an Xbox Live title then a sentence later he says Xbox Live Arcade as well. Which is it?

More rumorbusting! A long-legged, long-lived rumor is that we're hard at work on an Xbox Live title. We're so not. Lord knows we play too much Live Arcade, but our entire team (with the exception of a couple of Vista guys) is cranking away on our next project.

In other news, I was recently pointed to a certain hip-hop flavored music video based on Halo that I found highly entertaining. Unfortunately, the content is pretty explicit so it's not really the type of thing I can formally promote or link to on our site, but it's pretty funny and I wanted to give a shout out to the guys who put that together. (you shouldn't have too much trouble finding this on the web if you're interested) Do you mean Futuristic Sex Robotz's "Don't make us kick your ass"? Cuz that's pretty old.

There's another little project that's been brewing here for quite a while now that's really getting me excited. I think Frank may have hinted at it before and I can tell you it's NOT a game. But really that's all I can tell you. For now. I suspect there will be an official announcement coming from our partner within the next month or two. Stay tuned. Content for the 360? New hawtness for B.net? Bungie Princess life size cardboard cut outs?!

I can't wait two more months!
Actually yes I can.

I love bungie but there is one thing that bothers me.

If your going to go through the trouble of busting out the legal team on fans that actually love the game for what it is and take the effort to do something creative with it why not just go after modders?

Technically they are doing the same thing except what the modders do cause problems for everyone. All your legal team would have to do is ask the ISP for the log of IP addresses and have them tell you who it was. They'd have to otherwise you could sue the ISP since its on their network. I just think instead of going after people doing something awesome all this effort should be used to rid XBL of all the problems with modders.

Nothing against you guys I love the game I just think this would make alot more sense.


Ok, 2 things.

* A.) Bungie isn't incharge of the gamertag situation. That's headed up by the xbox live team in Redmond.

* B.) The ISP makes you agree to this contract/disclaimer condition that says if you do something stupid (which includes, but is not limited too, looking at child pronography or trying to hack into something) you can't hold the ISP responsible.

Great update guys, looking forward to the new soundtrack and book(s)

"Look, everybody always figures the time they live in is the most epic, most important age to end all ages. But tyrants and heroes rise and fall, and historians sort out the pieces." -Jolee Bindo

so whats up with this project is it another Halo-related thing like DOA4?

  • 03.03.2006 3:24 PM PDT

"I pledge to punch all switches, to never shoot where I could use grenades, to admit the existence of no level except Total Carnage, to never use caps lock as my "run" key, and to never, ever, leave a single BoB alive."

2B || !2B - Why don't you look Inside the Machine?

1. First of all, the hype was too much for the game. Yes, Halo 2 was a good game, but you focused on all the wrong areas. Halo (1) was a GREAT game. WHY? Because you had sequences like the beginning of level 2 ("Flawless Cowboy"), where dropship after dropship sent waves and waves of Covenenant soldiers. And the massive battle scene at the end of "Two Betrayals" in which Covenant and Flood were locked in battle. How many of you people reading this took delight in attempting to defeat all enemies? THIS IS WHAT WAS MISSING IN HALO 2.

2. Also, what in the world happened to the coloring of your final renders? Did you folks have left-over 'ink' from another game and used it in Halo 2?

3. Why was everything so fuzzy? I have a high-def. TV and that still didn't help!

4. Why did it seem that you rushed this project ?


I wish people who "think" that they can do better would step up and do it.

But to get to my point, I think that the update was cool. I am actually surprised that Frankie actually gets let out every once in a while. Hope he doesn't break anything.
