Oh no my beloved BTB is the 2nd least played.

It's nice to see Frankie not taking that -blam!- from people all the time.

As I see, no. Should you? No. I was just giving my opinion.



And you're entitled to it. But the more constructive, entertaining and useful it is, the less time it takes to scroll to and through it, mmkay?

Escape, you're one in a long line of people with the same opinion, and what you just had is taste of the wrath we sometimes feel on people who cannot understand the point of weekly updates.

But let's try this again - from the beginning.

Once upon a time, we announced a little game about Halo. Eventually, there was a big trailer at E3 2000. But then, Microsoft bought Bungie, and fans began to feel ignored, because no new information was available, and likely not to come for a while. So the community team (in the form of Matt, then Sketchfactor, then Frankie) started weekly updates to give tidbits. Now, the point wasn't actually to communicate information, but just to communicate, let you know we're still here. The process continued through to Halo 2, with the same purpose.

Now, even after the project we're working on it gets announced, things will continue much as they are - tidbits of info, occassional big items, but mostly just Frankie entertaining you with Bungie-related news.

Escape, what I'm trying to say is this - if you cannot understand the above, you need to stop reading the weekly updates, or you will be disappointed EVERY time. So, please adjust your expectations accordingly before you accuse us of giving you the shaft.

The reason there is almost no clanmatches is because it is really hard to find four people to have a clanmatch. Ninja, please put minor and major back in the list!!!!

Wow I don’t know if I should say awesome update Frankie, or tell him the truth. Sure there was an abnormal plethora of Bungie esc information. But where was the chatter about beautifully constructed Tacos, which cause salivating upon a mere glance of their beautiful beef bounty. American mad cow disease anyone? This Friday night is hammered Frankie Firday here, yep that time of the month again, time to get waisted like a Scott. Nope that doesn’t mean making love to a sheep, or accidentally putting on a miniskirt instead of a Kilt. But where is Frankie’s backup content monkey? No not Mat Noguchi, or Max Hoberman, Kirsten Dunst would be nice with the red hair. Red hair on a lady my favorite, better than blondes in my opinion. Anyway I better get back to a few more drinks, then a little can I find may to the bathroom without having to take a cross town bus ride on the OC transpo. Well good Haloing, and Eric Nylund collects things I shouldn’t mention or should I?

Frankie,

But I don't want to wait all week for an update such as this . . . or the past weekly updates, anyways, I don't mean to bag on you and all because I'm sure you are busy and such, but come on.


1. How much does the update cost?
2. Who forces you to read it?
3. Why even waste your energy responding?
4. Do I care?


1. I don't know how much the update cost's with your salary and Bungie's mainframe overhead.
2. No one but we all like Bungie, that's why so many people read it. Sorry for caring too much.
3. He wants to be heard obviously.
4. You replied clearly you care, otherwise you would have read on.

That little history/lesson was very interesting achronos, you should make note to how weekly updates got started somewhere so people would stop complaining and appreciate them for what they are. Very nice

Criticism is fine, but when you make it here, you run the risk of us responding to said criticism. What did you expect, that we'd simply say "Yeah, we're just giving you the shaft"?

If you are going to complain on our own boards, expect that ocassionally that we'll disagree with you. It isn't personal (to us, anyway), but as we're the ones responsible for the state of what you're complaining about, it is rather silly to expect us to sit back and take it. That's not what Bungie is about - we value our interaction with our fans. You don't appear to value that interaction. Therefore, the question must be asked - why are here, if not to interact with the Bungie community (of which we are a part)?

Oh, and chief steve0? Lay off the caps, it is annoying.

You want to know what it'd be like to have no moderators on this site? Try this easy to prepare simulation.
Step 1: Procure yourself an intact box, something a fridge or similarly large appliance.
Step 2: Fill cardboard box halfway with feral cats. One or two should be rabid.
Step 3: Climb inside the box, closing the top behind you.
Step 4: Begin screaming and thrashing wildly at the cats.

I just can't believe all the Halo stuff that is going on. I am eagerly awaiting their arrivals! But about the pie chart I just can't believe 6V6 and Big Team are so unpopular. I guess it is about time to remove at least Big Team because if no one really plays it it is probably not worth it to maintain it as a playlist. I am glad Team Snipers is popular because that is my favorite. Also, that is the scariest mister chief I have seen in a while. That bunny copter is going to give me nightmares.

Anyone else like to see Achronous out, it makes me feel that I'm protected by the Bungie blanket no matter how stupified I am. You ever want to see a cool laser I'll bring out the stuff.

  • 04.21.2006 7:01 PM PDT

because if seeing is believing,
then believe that we have lost our eyes

muahahahahaha escape got PWNED up the butt! dont talk bad about bungie's updates cause u guys all know if they didnt put them, all of these people would be hiding in the corner crying cause they want an update. who cares if bungie is secretive. if they told u what they were doing every week the big surprise wouldnt be much of a surprise. so in this case, its better to wait. besides, since they have been holding this in u know its gonna be big

E3 is around the corner so i think it has something to do with that :>

bungie= kick ace!
