I hate how people do this. Just because the week wasn't godly for you, you have to make a complaint to people who've been working on this game for 4 years for us. The week wasn't good for you, so you complain. Keep your comments (complaints) to yourself, plz.

Did you guys even read what Stosh just said?

Holy -blam!- you people are poor representatives of what I would consider, "Bungie Fans." What other company makes kickass games like Bungie has? What other company gives you Weekly Updates about their newest upcoming game? What other company has the same interaction level with the fan base? What other company???

Something obviously happened outside of Bungie's control to keep the information promised from being posted when scheduled. But really, what are you going to do? Send them hate mail for not posting that screenshot they promised? My goodness, if that is what defines the average "Bungie Fan," than I don't want to be that.

Grow up.

Instead of waiting and waiting for new updates why dont you re install marathon and beat it on hard or something similar to that at least that's more productive

I thought it would be smart for Bungie to release as little information and as little screenshots as possible.

Because, anymore than 5 screens in a roll would SPOIL us. That's right, we were spoiled rotten by the new vid and the new screens. Remember when one single screenshot would raise a hell of hype and excitement back a few weeks ago? Now, i don't think anyone cares if another screen comes up.

I hope that Bungie wouldn't release anything for another month just to keep me halo fanatized. Any more than that I would be jaded in the new stuff.

wow that dude is one crazy psycho.... milky soldier or something?

Anyway, this post goes out to Shishka and Stosh

You guys are the moderators. You don't take sides and you never post something for the sake of arguement, you obviously didn't convince this guy of anything and actually have made people even more angry. I'm just saying if i were you i'd try to continue to maintain my image of "above everyone else on the forumsness"

When you post stuff it kind of lowers you down to the level of the rest of our bickering, bragging, and -blam!-ing the 3 B's that hold these forums together.

I'm just saying i was a little surprised to see the both of you actively defending bungie, even though Shishka said what we were all thinking (that speech about what w expected was hilarious). Bungie doesn't need any defense we are all clearly a little insane as Halo 2 has been at the tip of our fingers for so long and pulled away ever so gradually.

I think we all see E3 as a huge milestone along the path o any games development.. and after last years stunning display, we all expected more than last year seeing as the game is farther along in development. I would have liked to have seen a 3 min game of multiplayer between the 2 teams, so ya i can't honestly say that i wasn't a little dissapointed. But it's not like we got nothing and what we did get no one expected like the plasma sword? that was just a rumor. And now we even got to see it in action.It's true that we don't pay a dime to see all of this good stuff, but that argument is (and i can't say this enough) BULL -blam!-!

Bungie is a corporation trying to sell us one of their products, yes TRYING TO SELL TO US.

so E3 is a means of advertisement as i see it, and do we pay for ads? thank god we don't.
Just because there is a lot of hype doesn't mean that everything should change and suddenly we need to beg bungie for ads. I'm not paying huh? well my $60 Halo-2 reservation says otherwise, and if that extra 10 bucks is for a shiny metal box then bungie can skrew themselves. Because I can put Halo-2 in a box, and all the stuff that they said is in their i've already seen on the net (for the most part). So you'd say "Well peck don't get the LE then" well i'll have you know i'm a half crazed die hard bungie fan so don't try and tell me not to get the LE.

Anyway, uh keep the game awesome and don't cater to greedy bastards.

CaptainMilky, you are unequivocally one of the biggest jackasses I have ever read the words of. Perhaps you should stop focusing so much on questioning others and question yourself. Instead of -blam!-ing about what you didn't get, how about you try to be even a little productive and instead tell us what you would like to have seen. Tell us what would have satisfied your mediocre intellect. Docter, you too on that suggestion.

WELL first off the weekly update and the new info and materials released at e3 are whatever. some people will be like. crap the best week ever. and some will think it was the worst. , personally i love that they finally released a release date. i have been waiting patiently. BUT BUT BUT> i have to say i think all of the attendees at E3 had a pretty piss poor showing. i went on one days on a press pass, for a tech mag i write for and i have to say nothing there blew me away lilke i thought it would. there were only 2 things that i even said. well that was pretty cool and those 2 things were the halo demo. (pretty awesome indeed the wait will be worth it. but i think bungie couldve even sat this one out and been fine with a release date. ) and two the PSP. which i got to look at up close and all i could say is . wow.

Through war we will teach your heresy.
Through battle we will teach your frailty.
Through death we will teach your fate.

(Despite my earlier opinion) I can say (after finding more media than what I had thought was released) I can say I'm pretty much in Halo 2 nirvava with my June OXM, and GI, my 9 screens, and my 2 Halo 2 gameplay movies...

What else can you ask for?

Do you guys know what HYPE is? Like when a new movie is coming out, and they have all these adds everywhere you look and they make it look and sound great! But after you see the movie, your like, that was total crap, it could have been a good movie, but it wasn't what I EXPECTED!

So when Bungie says its going to be the MOST EXCITING week, and Halo 2 is going to rule E3. Then us fans are going to EXPECT more! So when we didn't get more after Monday, then we didn't get what we EXPECTED! Geez quit hating on us because we are a little upset, we will get over it! Halo 2 will still be the best game ever, props to Bungie for Halo 1 awesome game still play it a few times a week. Just trying to make a point, and that was bungie let us down! We wouldn't be complaining about anything at E3, if we didn't EXPECT them to do more!

Sketch and crew were working really hard this week. One of the reasons they didn't get some of the screen shots up is because the hotel we were staying at was -blam!- crap. The internet connection was unreliable. It isn't that easy to upload a screen and post it to the website. Many steps. Everything has to be super secure. Sketch showed me the process and man it took -blam!- forever on that hotels lowly connection. Also the program he uses to keep everything secure crashed and that freaked him out. Never crashed before. So yea don't blame Bungie...blame the Raddisson hotel.

Anyway I saw a few of the screen shots that were scheduled to be released yesterday and they're hot! One looks like a piece of art. You'll see them next week.


Did you read Stoshs post? Its alittle hard to post anything new when your internet connection is terrible.

I was expecting some more content! Something to get us thinking! Look at the message boards, they are filled with the same questions being asked over and over again, and people are getting annoyed with people asking them again and again. E3 just showed us a bunch of stuff we pretty much already knew was going to be in the game! It really just answered are question about the Energy sword really!

So now I have a question for you, what did you expect bungie to release at E3? I was hoping for at least a Hunter Render or something.

"So now I have a question for you, what did you expect bungie to release at E3? I was hoping for at least a Hunter Render or something."

Well holy -blam!-, so you didn't get one. Big deal.

YOU are the one that creates the hype. Not anyone else. If you expect a pants-bulging Halo 2 blowout from Bungie everytime they say they are going to give us new information, than it is YOUR fault that you are disappointed. Besides the fact that you are STILL ignoring Stosh's post explaining why Mr. Jarrard couldn't post the rest of the screens yesterday.

Like I said, GROW UP.

Hold on a second, back up, where the hell is the weekly update?

I searched for it on Battlegrounds Halo, and it's not there. It's sure as hell not here either, so where the -blam!- is it?

To Shishka and Stosh,

Thanks for the heads up. Exactly what I had figured. Fan Fest, followed by another, how long was e3 open for Friday, fourteen hours? You guys must have been completely exhausted come Friday night.

I used to work the Canadian National Exhibition. Sixteen hour days. That was some seriously brutal stuff so I feel for all you guys helping out with e3.

Good Work. Too bad I'm so ridiculously far away or I'd have brought sandwiches *grins*

Yo Halo53, I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best bungie.net profiles of all time. OF ALL TIME!

Hey, instead of being ungreatful for what you didn't get, try being greatful for what you DID get. Ever think of that?

I am happy Bungie showed us what they did. I don't want to see anymore single player footage because I don't want the story to be spoiled. I want to play and be surprised and kick Covie ass. Thats why I won't play it on XBL until I beat the campaign, so some 10 year old says "OMG GUYZ! THE 3NDING W4Z......"

Between videos, the OXM article, screenshots etc. they showed us the energy sword (I was expecting the plasma sword so maybe both will be available?) destructible vehicles, secondary explosions on a vehicle, destructable/interactive environments, the human stationary gun in multiplayer, a kick ass map that I dream of playing in, duel wielding with 2 different weapons, the covenant carbine, the battle rifle's single shot zoom, 3 shot burst unzoom, the ghost's turbo ability, boarding a vehicle in multiplayer from the front and the back, rocket launchers that lock on, the various attacks of the energy sword (press b or lock on and press right trigger), we know the needler is improved, and ON TOP OF ALL OF THIS, a relase date.

BEST WEEK EVER

exactly halo53. Bungie gave us more then some of you realize:
9 new screenshots.
Multiplayer video's.
A release date.
Extra info.
And E3insider.com has even more extra screenshots.

That's more info than they ever gave us before in one week.
I have to admit, i expected more, perhaps a new weapon or enemy.
The problem is: as soon as Bungie gives even more stuff, than next week we want even more, and after that even more, and more and more and more.
They can't life up to all expectations. So here's a good tip: Expect the worsed, than you can only recieve the best.

Oh, and remember that Bungie and the guys there at e3 are under alot of pressure.
And as stosh said: they had one crappy internet connection.

Captain milky i agree with you, but you got some problems. Bungie isn't brainwashing the world or their fans like you think. yea in alot of peoples opinions including mine we got let down. but the people saying that bungie did as much as they said they would are either satisfied with what bungie gave out or are so loyal to bungie that they cant except the fact that bungie would let them down. anyways just pointing out that Bungie isn't brain washing anybody like you said...

I think some of us are trying to say,
that you know you've promised us allot and there was allot,
BUT.....E3 means big show and if there was a big show than where are the videos?
I didn't saw any video on bungie.net, I don't want to download a 4 parted crapy resolution video at ign (or something like that)
I want full E3 story and full video nice resolution download right here at bungie.net
and I think I'm not the only one. Well you know what I mean, give us a story if there was a great show at e3 don't tell us it was fun and a shame we couldn't be there, write it down for us.
I would be very diapointed in bungie if there wouldn't come any video of e3 (like last year).

i think this week was great for Halo 2, much better then last E3 and last E3 was awesome. I just merely think that comments like TheDoctor saying he got robbed and what not...what do you expect, they dont want to give too much away...

So when Bungie says its going to be the MOST EXCITING week, and Halo 2 is going to rule E3. -Docter

Um, I don't know about for you, but for me this WAS the most exciting week since Halo 2 was announced. Or did I miss some other week that had nine minutes of gameplay footage along with the layout of a sweet new map, character models, vehicles, weapons, new features, etc.? Did I miss that? B/c if I did please point me to the links so I can get my greedy little paws on them.

And Halo 2 DID rule E3. In case you didn't notice then ONLY things at E3 that really got people revved up was Halo 2 and the booth girls. So forgive me if I think you're being a bit ungrateful, and also if I suggest you look at the MONUMENTAL amount of work that goes into the making of a multiplayer 3d title like Halo 2 before you start saying that bungie is "coming up short" and "letting us down."
