Cool update - I hope that your multiplayer maps have more polygons, higher resolution textures, and lots of foliage where appropriate. Well, a day spa, actually. You know, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room. And a wet bar. Full service. And please make sure that all the drinks get umbrellas in them - because that makes for a nice festive atmosphere. And Don Ho singing "Tiny Bubb-" hmm, on second thought, maybe stick to what you're doing, as it appears that you're on the right track.

Correct! Oh and by the way, feel free to criticize the update, as long as you specify why or what you'd like to know more about. Posts that say, "This update sucked." will be treated as spam. And Ninjas will be unleashed.

To be frank, I think he messes with the emails of people trying to get unbanned. There is no way that people who mod are so dumb they don't know how to spell.

Those emails look they were written by retards.

"Multiplayer test sessions are proceeding apace and I already have stumbled into one of the perils of Halo 3 development - playing a two hour multiplayer game of Halo 3 and then playing Halo 2 at night, only to discover I have forgotten the layout of Burial Mounds and the cool new weapon I just got used to, isn't in Halo 2…" That is the most evil comment ever! "cool new weapon" EEEEVVVIIIILLL !'4nn 73h 4n9ry 47 u f0r 7h!z (lol), also did you use photo shop to make that water and how, I have photo shop and have fooled around I can make water like that (a bit diffrent) just not with two colours?

July 15, 2008... The day the timer stood still.

Did he say new vehicle features and new weapon? Hey Frankie, if Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie could sell a picture of their kid for 4 million dollars, imagine how much you could sell some screenshots of Halo 3 for...

Ok Frankie.

The stats of how many games have been played on Xbox Live are boring. No one really waits all week to hear about how popular Xbox Live has been. It's an interesting number to hear about every once in a while. Now it just seems like it is a filler because you can't say too much about Halo 3.

Don't you guys prank each other sometimes? Clever people like Bungie employess must come up with some pretty good ideas.

Frankie, would you care to elaborate on this weapon a little? In the doc. video for Halo 3, I remember seeing what appears to be a new weapon in the hands of a strange looking creature (about 3 minutes in), and figured it was a brand new weapon.

Is it a Covenant weapon, Human weapon or completely different weapon?
Is it a rifle type weapon, plasma, or handgun?
Can it spit out pictures of a dancing Mister Chief at enemies?

Could you answer one or two of these?

why would playing halo3 have him forgetthe layout of burial mounds. It sounded to me like he forgot burial mounds because he had played a very simmilar map, or the maps in halo3 are just that different from those in halo2.

Frankie marry me, we can run away to together and create small little Halos. We can also check by the doctor to make you a woman. And bring Halo 3.

omgomg they played halo 3 multiplayer omgomg

gotta love the waambulance

  • 06.09.2006 5:09 PM PDT

The Beatles kickass.
Also, I probably hate you.

Just to let you know Frankie... In "The five stages of Waaahmbulance" in the end he actually refers to himself in the second person, not third.

If a Grunt has a sticky stuck to his head, and no one is around to see or hear it, does it still run in circles screaming,"Get it off, Get it off !"?

The smoke that didn't disappear was obviously a malfunction in the flame-thrower, which is the "new" weapon he is referring to.

Great update Frankie!

Can't wait to see a pic of the H3 vehicles!!!

Anyways i love the cheaters!! They make me smile!! :)

  • 06.09.2006 5:14 PM PDT

Those wahhhbulance emails are probably some of the funniest things I've seen. Keep 'em coming. Thanks as well for denying the glitch in the Halo 3 trailer there were so many topics on other forums that it was sorta driving me sane...insane I meant, insane. I was wondering why my HD Quicktime vid would "unexpectedly close" at the last 15 seconds of it. I'm sure I didn't miss much. Cool update keep 'em coming.

Frankie: The water in the Mister Chief... Bryce'd?

I'm pretty sure I'd reconize a Bryce water render anywhere, and that looks especially like one, really much so with the way you can color the sky to do wonderful reflections of color like said given art.

Keep up the awesome.

If anyone wants to see new enemies or whatever you callem o ya and guns, just pause the documentary thing around 3:01, to me it looks like an elite with human tech on him, but with a crazy new fish hook gun thing.

Na not going to criticize the update. Cool update. Too bad though we all have to wait to October to see another trailer or game footage.

EDIT: Readreading the update, though, Frankie says "explosions." A flame thrower would not make explosions.

Brute Shot, mebbe?

good update but seemed a bit lacking as far as Halo 3 goes...
when can we expect more in depth info? actually, even some new screens or wallpapers would be nice...
Also, do you plan on releasing a gameplay trailer before E3 next year?
