That was the best Weekly Update since last week's Weekly Update. Although some people are "dissapointed" by the lack of information, I thought it was just fine. Maybe too much. I don't care if we don't get a lot of information because I have patience. I can and will have to wait for the big surprises. As will all of you.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Does this update mean the beginning of the end of the -blam!-ing by kids about no Halo 3 info?

Now there will be people in the Halo 3 forum who are like "ZOMG! They confirmed there are trees in Halo 3"...great update though.

Now that's an update. Best update since Halo 3 was revealed.

I was also thinking Zanzibar when he was talking about the old map now bathed in sunset.

Frankie, I know your reading this (if you aren't then It is impossible for me to be wrong, because you don't know I said that I know you are reading this...muahahahaha)
So in the next update, put a total of 7 sevens anywhere in the next update if you do like Tacos. (If you like tacos alot, I MEAN ALOT, then make them add up to seven every time. (2,5...3,4....etc)

I will be watching.

Unfamiliar territory has become familiar.

Best Update concerning Halo 3 since E3. A few new Halo 3 tidbits were revealed. We now know that there is a remake of a past Halo map (which we probably could have guessed) and Frankie even gave us some details on the map to keep us guessing. As pretty much everyone else has said, I am guessing that the remake is zanzibar, though there are a few others it could be. What we know is that there is an awesome sunset on the map and it probably has some inside parts to the level as Frankie stated how the lighting is from a darker area of the map to the lighter one. I think we can role out all the Halo 1 maps besides Sidewinder, as the rest of the maps in Halo 1 are all inside maps (besides Blood Gulch/Coag). Frankie also revealed a few details from another map (midsized apparently) that Frankie said was his favorite, featuring nice scenary including trees and a banshee as well as "obvious defensible positions and creepy, narrow hallways". I am guessing that this is a new map entirely. The "obvious defensible positions and creepy, narrow hallways" was also given as a clue towards the new game variant.


P.S. I can't wait to see what's "contained" in the next book (possibly Halo 3 story details)

Frankie is making us salivate for more Halo with his unique word play again. I cannot wait to see Halo 3 with all of the graphical work that has been put in by the art team of Bungie. Plus to see how well the physics engine works with the massive environments envisioned, to give us that truly epic feeling again. Just like Halo CE. Frankie also made a very important point about the graphics, it is stylized, not photo realistic. That is one of the things I enjoy about the Halo universe. Every character has a specific feeling to them. Also, is there any chance will see tough Grunts like in Halo CE. Anyone remember "The Maw" the black operations Grunts chucking grenades and wildly firing fuel rod rounds in your direction. I recollect one time getting myself infront of black operation Elites, and Grunts behind them. It was sheer mayhem, the Grunts pulverized the Elites then destroyed one hunter heading in my direction. I miss those Grunts.

Props for this week's MC. The picture was on one of my college textbooks (original that is) and it looks a lot better with a somewhat familiar face. I'm looking forward to some movie news and possible appearance at X06 this year in next weeks update. Keep up the good work everyone at Bungie.

Yeah that was such a cool Mister Chief

But besides "Zanzibar" I believe the map could also be "Headlong".


Captain its a remake of a old map so it includes new stuff like a Sunset but remember am just guessing.

I'm thinking here & if the level with the Sunset is "Headlong" the whole city will be complete like in Halo 2 as it was under construction!

Nice update. Gave me what I wanted to know.
However, for Halo 2, I still say Zanzibar is the best map made for it.
