Heh, i've never taken the time to read the Waaahmbulance emails, those were pretty entertaining.

I do love team swat though, it doesn't surprise me that its as popular as it is. Its like another unranked Team Snipers.

Keep up the good work.

Obviously not everyone who writes in to us writes like that, but there is a very significant percentage of people who do. You'd be surprised... or maybe you wouldn't.

But Frankie doesn't mess with those emails except to hide the identity of those people.

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.

Please Frankie, I never ask you for anything, but please get the hi-rez .MOV working. Some of us don't have Windows or Macs, and .mov is a non-protected format that I can run under Totem. I can technically make WMV's work, since I still have my Windows CoA, but it's a pain, and I don't know if the method's entirely kosher.

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?

Wait till October for gameplay trailer. Dont believe me look at all the H2 vids and how far apart they are in release.

New burial mounds??? New weapon??? You people are killing me here. I can barely wait for this game and you lure me into a false sense of happiness only to drop me off a cliff . Oh well. I know Halo 3 is gonna rock, and keep em teasers coming. Oh yeah, and the Waahmbulance things are hilarious -- keep those coming too.
Great update!

"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…"

-Frankie

So, by this are you possibly hinting that there will be a remake of Burial Mounds with a bit different layout in Halo 3? (edit: nevermind I just read frankie's post on page two)

Anyway great update! I am glad you gave us some more wambulences, I love reading those things.

bungie, i think you should make two games- one that is an epic campaign, and one that is dedicated solely to multiplayer:)

Their is no new burial mounds, Frankie went back to burial mound after playing H3 and forgot the map layout.
it seems like there is a new burial mounds


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.

Now that’s customer service!

Sorry Frankie that i did not do one of my rants again, but I am hella sick, and all i did when i came home from school is go to bed. :( 2 weeks now. *shakes head*

By the by, excellent update, it gave plenty of tid bits on H3, and i must say, I expected less tid bids, but this makes me feel all warm inside. If you did this stuff every week, you will not hear any complaints on the "content" you put out.

Humor, facts, events= greatness.
9/10 Frankie, good job!

Great update, Frankie. Always enjoy the stats tidbits you throw our way. Nice to know the online community is still going strong despite cheaters, stand-byers, etc. And GREAT to know that Team SWAT is being embraced. While I'm curious to know if the success will make it a ranked playlist, I think part of the appeal is that it's unranked and you face EVERY level, which in a weird way, evens things out over the long run. Now watch me lose my next 10 SWAT games. Great teasers for Halo 3 as well. Keep it up!

I'm gonna throw out some speculation. Could another H3 teaser be the water in the Mr.Chief? I'm not an expert on water rendering or anything, but the first random thought to come into my head when I saw the picture was "wow, those water graphics must have taken some time. Wait, what engine would be available on Frankie's work computer? The Halo 3 engine, or course."
