What happened to it? Has it stopped now seeing as Halo has moved to 343i?

I for one enjoyed reading the weekly update. It told us about everything Bungie was working on and even included interesting things like Bungie All-Stars.

Bungie, why stop making the making the weekly update? Just because it featured mostly Halo related things doesn't mean it can't feature others. For example, Crimson and Aerospace. Aerospace will be one of Bungie's main future projects, why not tell us what it's doing or that. Sure you can advertise things like Crimson on the home page but what does that tell us? All it told me was that it was coming out on the 1/9 on iPad. Why not describe it. I personally downloaded Crimson even though I don't have an iPad so I honestly have no idea what it's like. This is where you could just give a basic overview if you had the Weekly Update.

Do I want it back? Yes. Do I expect back? No. They're too busy, although I'm not sure what urk could be doing instead -- besides fapping. :P

They don't really have much to update us on, it's pretty much all classified.

  • 09.01.2011 7:02 PM PDT

Half Man.
Half Horse.
Half Machine.
All "Jerk Who's Really Bad at Math."

PS
No, I do not want to join your clan/group.

It'll return when they have something to post about.

They're keeping a pretty tight lid on their new game right now and until they're ready to tell us about it, there won't be any weekly updates.

Besides, what would the update even have to offer if they didn't talk about the game? What they had for lunch that day?

I'm not expecting to see any new weekly updates for a long time, though I do miss them.

You should read the 343i weekly updates, if you don't already.

  • 09.01.2011 7:03 PM PDT

little kids get the hell off of halo!GHO for the win!

If you found out classified information, they would have to kill you.

  • 09.01.2011 7:03 PM PDT

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

There isn't enough information to give out at this point in time, even if Bungie did what you suggested.

Maybe a tri-monthly update. Maybe.

Actually, no. That would make people raise expectations beyond what they should be in what would be the update. So, nah, keep them updates away (I hate having to say that).

I'm a college dropout.

If there's nothing to write about, then the updates would be useless. I mean I guess urk could write about his weekly adventures in Bungie Studios.

  • 09.01.2011 7:04 PM PDT

My friday nights have become dull and boring without them.

What do they expect me to do? Socialize?

Dear Internet, today I had something for lunch that caused me to go off on a completely random tangent that confused the Hell out of a couple people. Then I asked Marty what he's up to right now, but I can't tell you what he said.

If he sees this thread, we may get a Weekly Update Next week. We all see it, get excited, go to read it...and all it says is "HAI GUIZ" with a picture of Sage's beard.

Wouldn't put something like that past him or any of the others there.

This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends;
Not with a bang but a whimper.

I would love it back, but it's just not going to happen until Bungie ceases to be dark.

2/15/12: Francisco Porras, I'll miss you. Rest in Peace.

I would like them back, there wouldn't be much to report on, but not reading Urk's glorious updated are killing me.

  • 09.01.2011 8:27 PM PDT

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

It would be great to have back, however, there isn't much to update us on. What would Urk write about? Their new project is still totally classified, and they've been getting slimmer for a while now anyway. Most of the space was taken up by the Bungie Weekly All Star contest anyway.

  • 09.01.2011 8:31 PM PDT

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

I'm actually surprised it lasted as long as it did.

  • 09.01.2011 8:50 PM PDT

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

Everyone wants it back, but there is nothing they can put in it just yet.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

No weekly updates, not now at least. I would like to see monthly updates. It's not like there is absolutely nothing going on in Bungie Studios. I'm sure enough happens in a month to give us a savory little taste of something. Pointless or not, I enjoyed something new to read every week. At least once every month.

  • 09.01.2011 9:19 PM PDT

To be honest, I can wait for their next big announcement. But what I WOULD like is just... Bungie Weekly Updates! What's going on around the studio? Any funny stories Employees want to share about the workplace? The final Bungie Halo Panel was great because they were just sharing stories up there the entire time. I love that kind of stuff. It would be great to see some of that going on continuously!

I'd read that update.

  • 09.01.2011 9:46 PM PDT

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

I honestly forgot all about them. It's been ages since the last one.

Thank you, sir. Anything is better than this boring nothing-ness.

I couldn't think of anything creative, so I just wrote this.

I would rather have Bungie be devoted to their next IP than post updates once a week about nothing.

They really don't have anything to talk about.

There's really nothing to update us of right now.
