Frankie posted it a few hours early at HBO (halo.bungie.org), though it didn't seem like him. Someone from Subnova called him to make sure, and it really was him who posted it. I don't have a direct link. Try checking page 2 or 3 of these forums.

He's been up at e3 for nearly two days straight with no sleep. Be glad for any update.
Heck, if I were him I'd seriously reconsider ever making another update with the criticism he's received today.

Well, that's what I thought at first, but think about it. They were getting ready for Los Angeles all week. It's not like they worked on the game much (if at all), so it'd be pointless to make an update containing a couple of sentences saying "<name> finished <item>."

Like i said... stop rationalizing!!! Dammit, last week we were promised the most jam-packed weekly update with all kinds of -blam!-....so you'll settle for that containing no new info and, not even the decency to deliver a mister chief after being promised such a big update??? What the hell!!! Come the -blam!- on

I think what we've seen at E3 qualifies as one big update.
I think if they spill much more on the game, it's gonna spoil it.
And I'd be zonked out too, if I went to E3.
My eyes would be bloodshot, my brain fried, and I'd be exhausted - from the games, booze, and the -blam!- convention.

You guys dont listen... your like mindless sheep. Your rationalizing for Bungies shortcoming. E3 was weak, face it. I think there time could of been better spent working on halo2 instead of making that demo. We were promised a big update at the end of e3, how would the e3 demo qualify as an udpate at the end of e3?? STOP RATIONALIZING, this is unacceptable!!!

Sheesh, settle down. They're "rationalizing" because that's the intelligent thing to do. If they weren't rationalizing they'd probably all be acting crazy by ranting about the update and showing absolutely no appreciation for the work Frankie put into this. He promised us a lot of new info, and just about everything in there is new. More than that, it probably means more to many of us than many of his past updates. Instead of just saying "X is still working on a new thingie we can't tell you about, related to the CENSORED," he updated us on what happened during the last week for Bungie: E3. Were you there? Did you know that people were rolling explosive barrels down on unsuspecting warthogs? If not, then it's new, and interesting.

I personally liked this one more than many/all of his past updates. I really liked it. Thank you Frankie.

And, CaptainMilkey, take a deep breath. . . . Or go to bed. That's my plan, at least.

Just my thoughts,
Poocho :)

Ok, this is my final post, as you guys piss me off more and more. Because you cant accept bungies shortcoming. Rationalizing is not the intelligent thing to do, but a lack there of, how can anything get better if we always rationalize the lower-quality things?? Most of the stuff in that update, was not new, at all...period...sorry to crush any hopes and dreams. Appreciation for the work Frankie put into that?? There wasnt even a mister chief.... hell yeah he worked his ass off on that one eh?? This is what the guys paid to do and your telling me to appreciate that p.o.s. Now normally, it wouldnt be a piece of -blam!-, but, this is e3 were talking about here, and we were promised a massive update. Several of Frankies updates have been weak and that is nothing new. But this is E3 guys, this is a special update, E3 is only once a year...ye know..... So, now im going to bed, as i know somewhere in your heads you guy sknow the truth and agree but are afraid to admit. Dont fear it, let it out! We have been dooped......It's a sad day, sad sad day

Hey, everyone's entitled to their opinion. You can believe whatever you want, just like the rest of us.

Have a nice day!

If franky was late on the update it's probably because I stole his computer -- by accident. Long story...

Dude, that was a fake. Frankie has certain little things he says that just weren't there... It didn't show up on the homepage, and the thing about rolling the barrels was totally fake: IGN or Gamespot would have said something about it...

Looks real to me. He said he was going to do the write up between breaks. Looks somewhat like he did that. Also I remember him saying he was going to post the update at HBO this week. Yea that's him. I'm verifying it. He was busy so the update wasn't done in with his usual unusual style.

i doubt it was fake.
i don't know why some of you in here don't like the update... i thought it was pretty good. maybe not as good as some of the latest, but this one game an 'extension' of what we were able to see of e3.
nov 9th.... hope... i can.. make it....
gonna have to get another xbox and 2games and set up a LAN in the house now.

For God's sakes. "bungie's shortcomings?" SHORTCOMINGS?!? Don't even get me started on being called a sheep by someone who doesn't know the difference between your and you're, or how the phrase is "should HAVE," not "should OF" (please, people of the world, learn that one!) Or even how to structure a coherent sentence, for that matter. And don't type to me that you were in a hurry and that "we know what you mean, regardless of how you write it," b/c THAT'S the kind of rationalization of lower standards you should be worried about if you're so damned intelligent. The people of Bungie are busting their asses to make this game, and had to go through E3 (both the most fun AND most STRESSFUL time of year for a game developer) this week, so if there's a little less updating, tough. If you're so impatient and difficult to satisfy then I suggest you watch some demo trailers and SHUTTING YOUR IGNORANT MOUTH. No reason to hate on people already pulling week after week of overtime to make a great game to make YOU happy, fool.

Well said, now take a look at this:

So as you probably know, a bunch of the Bungie guys have been at E3 this week, showing off a level of multiplayer action to press and a few lucky members of the public. The good news is that the vast majority of the Bungie guys stayed right at home, working hard on halo 2 so that it ships on November 9th, the finally announced launch date. that is the first paragraph of the Update, so you see they are still working on Halo 2, they just had a few people go out and do the demo.
