to everyone who thinks Bungie will announce their next project in the Weekly Update.
How stupid could you be.... its so obvious that you guys dont read the Weekly Updates at all... or you would Know that it WILL NOT BE ANNOUNCED ON THE WEEKLYUPDATE!

stop being so ignorant. (BTW... look up ignorant in the dictionary before you flame me and start reading the updates.....not skimming or rearranging it to sound like you want it to)


Perhaps I'm just arguing semantics here. But Bungie's next project certainly will be announced in a future Weekly Update. That is not to say that the first mention in the world will be in the Update. Although, I believe that is possible. But, if it is not the first announcement in teh world there still will be an announcement of the news in the Weekly Update. And some people will hear about the news in the Weekly Update first.

So, in conclusion, I really don't even get your post. First of all, your not right. OK, maybe that's just semantics. But even if you are right, about it not being the first announcement, is that a reason to call other people "stupid" as you said? It's kind of negative on your part. OK, maybe you're smarter than all of us. Congratulations, you're smart. But that doesn't make all of us stupid. And, as smart as you may be, you need some work on your manners and etiquette.

If you need example of the importance of an emphasis on etiquette just look through the history of science and invention. So many important breakthroughs, like the radio, calculus, evolution and others seem to come from two sources at almost the exact same time. Yet only one of teh two gets remembered in history as the creator. Now, I don't have specific references to back this up. But somehow I think the guy who comes out and says, "All you people are morons, because you don't understand what calculus is," that guy probably doesn't get remembered fondly by the audience. In fact, they may be all too happy to find another person who understand calculus and give that other person the credit.

I know, I know. You're not in it for the credit. You just call us all stupid for the good of mankind. So, OK, thank you for your post. It's justmy two cents.


i didnt call anyone directly stupid, i asked how stupid could you be? I did however call some people (not directly you) Ignorant. After all, you did quote me..... why dont you go back and actually read what i said. maybe i made a mistake in saying "announce" generally speaking, an "announcement " is "generally" the first time you hear of something... if i need to break out the chalkboard more, just let me know.....once again, please read. Ignorance and stupidity have nothing in common. Since you did not look up Ignorant like i asked, i will put it in simple english, it means not knowing. and i myself am also very "ignorant" as to exactly what Bungie has planned. Sory if i rubbed you wrong and if you took this personally.

Sorry, I was off taking "Moderator Classes", and they told me that it's better to let people make an ass out of themselves over a joke than to ban a bunch of people.

On topic, I'm rather disappointed that we'll no longer be getting company general updates, as I quite enjoyed them. Back to the ho-hum game specific updates. And E3 starts on my Birthday! How appropriate for someone like me.

With a game of this magnitude, Bungie would not release information before they were ready to only because the fanbase is enormous. They would have so much mail asking when the demos are going to be released and what not. It makes perfect sense to let the public know that something is in the works, but not how far along it is or what it is simply because they would be too busy answering our questions to do their jobs. All we can do is wait until Bungie is ready to announce the next project. We are all hoping it is Halo 3 and hopefully we will find out at E3 next week. In my personal opinion, while it is up to Bungie what the next project is and when it will be released, I think it would be a huge mistake business-wise to be making anything but another installment to the Halo series. I personally would be put off to another game other than Halo 3.

Hey Atkins you can post this next week. Another point proving customer service lacking because that was totally uncalled for. We were being nice and obeying ninja and you just have to start it up again don't you?

On topic: Halo 0 Fall of Reach: Would be awesome. Thats what i have been saying ever since i read that book.

do they charge you for those "moderator classes" or are they free?(is it like a college course that you pay for, or is it sponsored by the company) its funny that "someone" (i wont say any names) asked you to take "moderator classes"(yes, i saw that post as well) and you did.(ha ha) I also wanted to know if the classes are helpfull or just a waste of time? and i have 1 very important question.

Are you guys Pink Floyd Fans? or are you not allowed to discuss personal taste in music?

No, I was just tired of his blathering. And I don't know what the Weekly Update is gonna be next week, but from Frankie's tone, I'm guessing that it may be something about E3. I could of course, be totally wrong.

And Atkins, go ahead and bring up whatever you wish. Remember you were the one who attacked me over a joke.I looked at this thread once or twice the first few hours and decided that it would be much better to let you blow off your misguided steam. Do you think I'm blind? I saw the thread. Complete and utter crap, a slew of personal attacks, because you were too stupid to take a joke. So do what you will. It only takes a few minutes of thought to realize what was going on, and that you took some insignificant post I made and put words into my mouth. I figured it was clear enough to not warrant a direct response, but after 3 pages of your attacks on my character, what did you want me to do?

I hope you think about what you're typing before your next post. And don't take things out of context. It doesn't make you look good.

i'll respond for him: its not that we're making personal attacks (atkins might i have not) its just that yeah sure joking is great and all but its not real apropriate to make the jokes where you did. All i'm saying is to show respect toward fans and whoever posts and deal with them in a mature manner and that last post was one of the best examples of not dealing with it in a mature manner. Also you saying that using text out of context doesn't make you look good read your last post Jim and honestly tell me that didn't make you look bad. No offense was meant to be made by me.

ditto, and I still never got my question of personal opinion about the Bungie gear. Anyone out there buy any of the stuff? I am new to new online shopping thing, so I am very cautious.

Dude, it's Bungie.net, everything here has to be taken with a sense of humor. You think Frankie was truly being malicious when he said "Ask me if I care?" It's just general jerkiness, and all about not being too serious. Have fun. Take nothing too seriously. All i'm saying is to show respect toward fans and whoever posts and deal with them in a mature manner and that last post was one of the best examples of not dealing with it in a mature manner.Hey, I'm only human, and not only have I seen this here, I got an even more thorough trashing on a website that shall remain nameless. All by people who think they have an inkling of what we go through over here. Do you know that if we divided all the users of Bungie.net evenly between all the moderators, we would have about 100,000 people apiece to check up on? This is one of the busiest forums on the web. And people trash the moderators here because we take an occasional potshot to relieve the pressure, all in the name of jest. That forum that has so much fun trashing me has 5 moderators for about 1000 people, and I'm being generous, because I don't believe it has more than 300 actual regular members. Who are they to criticize someone with a job like this? Also you saying that using text out of context doesn't make you look good read your last post Jim and honestly tell me that didn't make you look bad. You'll have to explain that one to me. No offense was meant to be made by me.One of the benefits of moderating these forums is that you tend not to take offense at much.

I haven't bought any yet, but Bungie did send me some swag. I love my "I see dead people" shirt. But the woolie is too hot to wear in summer (Looks badass though).

I thought this was a forum to talk about the weekly update and not complain about who said what to someone else. You guys should just "take it outside." I would rather read about what people have to say about the update and hear ideas about what other fans are thinking, than read a few people going at it with each other. I'm sorry if I offend, but stay on topic. Or here is a better idea, start a new thread and call it "trash the moderators." I just prefer not to read about it.

its nice to ya'll tryin to make friends again.....but i asked some serious questions and "I" me me me thinks they need answering. here are my questions again?

1) do "moderator classes" cost "you" personally any money or are they sponsored by the company?

2) This is a very very serious question. Do you guys like Pink Floyd or not man?

and BTW... can we please stop talking to Aktins Diet.. its obvious all he wants to do is flame you.(and start trouble) more importantly i dont want to come back in here and read more "BIBLE" crap cause he can't take a Joke! And, religion and Politics i think are 2 things NOT supposed to be dsiscussed in any way on these forums.

You guys keep throwing wood on a smoking fire and all its doing is making the "Flame" bigger. How about throwing some water on it instead and just ignore this kid. I' m sure the majority of your fans would rather see posts on the actual update.....thats why i come here. and if your gonna let kids like this ruin it for the rest of us, then thats fine. but all you will do is attract more malicious attacks on your character by talking to him... its like you said.. just let him post away and make an ass out of himself...hes doing a great job of it without your help.

For the sense of humor part yeah sure its great that is what joining groups are for. Knock yourself out there but here and espically if your a mod it is your duty to deal to with opions or insults in mature and responsible manner here.

No i don't think that frankie was being evil when he asked do i care and if you read my other posts you would get it. But i'll say it again: Bungie just needs to act more professional and quit insulting/being rude toward fans because it just makes you guys look bad (explaining your question). And for the trash part of other people. Yeah people trash talk just don't sink as low as them.

I personally dont think we deserve a weekly update today(or this week). I think Bungie should just not post an update. Then maybe you guys will understand how important these"meaningless updates" are. I would respect Bungie and Frankie if they said "-blam!- you", you dont get an update this week cause all it does is cause problems for them.

Bungie, give these kids a taste of absolutely nothing, then maybe they would appreciate what you guys are doing for "us", your fans, for free every week.
