I really like the Waaaaaaaambulance. I just don't understand why you would cheat when you know that this was going to happen. And then LIE about cheating. It just doesn't make sense.

DON'T TAKE RUMBLE HARDCORE AWAY PLEEEAAAASEE!!! If you guys would just trim it down to the length of a normal Rumble Pit game, say to 25 kills and 10 minutes long, I'm sure it would be a hell of a lot more popular. It's a great gametype that really separates the n00bs from the pr0s.

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.


That's because you have to be retarded to cheat at a video game...

I enjoyed the Waaaambulance section more than I can articulate. I especially enjoyed the five stages bit. Roaring good time!

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.

they are that dumb. the reason they mod is because it is too difficult for them to play a simple game. once they get banned for it, it rly shows how dumb they r

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.
see what i mean????

Jaime has been working on tuning the vehicles from Halo 2, for their reappearance in Halo 3. The new engine, new graphics and so on require of course that our "old" vehicles be rebuilt from the ground up to take advantage of all the extra horsepower we have. New vehicles, were there any in Halo 3, would have been created from scratch and need less re-imagining. Jaime also promises some new gameplay related features for vehicles that you might not expect.



Right about there. Just read between the lines. I want to know what the extra features are. Working headlights? Or maybe theyll pay so much attention to detail that when you play chicken with a vech and lose the tires will react to your dead body and you will become a speed bump as it were

By the way the rocket hog is NOT the gauss it just replaced it. Gauss shoots one accurate shot, the rocket hog shot 3 rockets that lost accuracy after the first one then had to reload

In the first bar graph, the first bar is labeled 11-1-2004. the game wasn't released untill 11-9-2004. I wonder if that was a typo or what?

I wanna know what the hell happened to the clanmatches. This totally erases the point of being in a clan. I cannot find a reason for the demise of it either. Can somebody please explain this?

This was a great update, but then Mister Chief and the awesome water graphics just nailed it. I'd still like for Marty to release an MP3 version of the trailer music. I can't get enough of those E notes!

HEY I LOVED THE FIRST HALO AND THE SECOND AND CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT I PLAY ALMOST 40 HOURS A WEEK MIN. BUT I'VE GOT TO SAY PLAYING ONLINE IS ALMOST WORTHLESS ANYMORE, I MEAN THE CHEATING THE STAND BYING HACKING WHATEVER. ITS REALLY OLD I LEAVE FEED BACK EVERY TIME AND I KNOW NOTHING HAPPENS TO THE CHEATERS WELL PRETTY SURE ANYWAYS. THE OTHER NIGHT IN TEAM SLAYER THEIR WERE NO WEAPONS ON THE MAP BUT SKULLS AND FLAGS. WHATS THAT ABOUT. THE LOWER LEVELS ARE TO EASY AND ONCE YOU GET TO LEVEL 30 LET THE CHEATING BEGIN. I DON'T LIKE TO DERANK I'VE ONLY DONE IT ONCE AND I DIDNT LIKE SCHOOLING LITTLE KIDS YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. SO PLEASE JUST TELL ME YOU GUYS ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE CHEATING AND ACTUALLY TAKE CARE OF THE CHEATERS. THANKS FOR LISTENING TO A DEICATED PLAYER.

Great update this week, I enjoyed every tidbit of information used to tease us. Just wondering but is the Mister Chief standing in Halo 3 water?

frankie great stuff this update and i would really like to see some more waaaaahmbulance e-mails because those really crack me up!!!!!!graet update and cant wait for the next one!!!!!

  • 06.09.2006 7:30 PM PDT

I think it would be cool if there was an overall rank. Like Some people dont play some match type therefore bringing your Overall rank down. Just one of my ideas that I felt I could share

I hope swat becomes ranked eventually. As for the new weapon, I don't like the brute shot and the flamethrower died, not to mention the plasma canon that was'nt in Multi Player.

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


think bout this...
if you played Halo 3 for 2 hours, lets say on the new Coagulation(just an example) . If you go back to Halo 2 and play on Burial Mounds, you would still remember Burial Mounds the way it was.

It's most likely that Frankie played a new Burial Mounds, or just has a bad memory.
