Hey! It's the Bungie Weekly Update, this time with 40% less preachiness! A few tidbits about the game, the movie, PAX and the next Halo novel, but nothing to tell your grandchildren about when you grow old. So don't get too excited.


40% less preachiness, that's something new.

"In single player news...

Max Dyckhoff says, "I am working on the AI for something quite large." Actually, he told me what it was and I realized we simply can't mention that yet. I would do a smiley or a wink here, but I am liable to be stabbed or headbutted at PAX."

............I'm sorry, but there was a complete waste of effort in typing that. You people realize he does that on purpose. I don't believe any one single person alive could be any more vague then that. "I know what it is, but because it would make you people happy, I won't tell you." That's what he just said. Maybe somebody should remind these people how they earn their paychecks. GIVE US SOMETHING BACK!!!

LOOGE

Frankie, from what I and somewhat believe on a certain scale is that Bungie/Microsoft is releasing Halo 3 the same day as the Halo movie is coming out for profit benefits, is this true or not, or do you not know. Say the truth please I don't like being lied to, no matter what it is.

Very good update!

For some reason i have a feeling the new game variant is "Survival."
I have many guesses for the remade "old" map:
First: Sanctuary, if old means the look of the map.
Second: Warlock, same reason for Sanctuary.
Third: Zanzibar, no reason, except that its got a sun, and trees...
Fourth: Headlong, also has trees and a sun...
Fifth: Lockout, because it's the all-time favorite h2 map.
and Sixth: Sidewinder, because it's older than the others...

Off-topic a little: Anyone notice how on Headlong's map description that it talks about gangs during the night?

When can we see some new screenshots or trailer footage???!!! I'm getting really curious now.
I dont know why. . but i like all the teasing rather than bungie showing us stuff that might be taken out of the game.. we all kno what happpend with the halo 2 demo's, screens, ext.. I say they show us nothing till the game comes out , and get utterly "oohed and ahhed" by the beauty that bungie created...

"I look upon the fields. Dry and cracked. And hear the cries for rain. Soon. The rain shall come."

I could be completely wrong but I think Joe is hinting that soon we (the fans) will receive a great deal of Halo movie info (perhaps a trailer).
Because it was Joe's response to Frankie's Halo movie update inquiry.

I think we (the fans) are the fields, and we are "dry and cracked" (clueless, when it comes to the Halo movie). We are "crying" for "rain" (information). And Joe is saying soon the information will come.

"Our Arrows will Blot out the sun." "Then we will fight in the shade"
This is my favorite line from 300 THAT MOVIE RULEZ ALL

I have a few things to say first off I HATE ZANZIBAR its god for skirmish but for slayer it is boring as hell sure from level 1-30ish you get noobs who come out into the open and die constantly but at my level(38) its too slow because everyone hides in either the base or Cwall the reason ive said this is because everyone seems to think that this is the "old favorite" i personally think it will be Coag. aka Blood Gulch mainly because of the "red-gold parapet" comment second off THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT THE NEW NOVEL ive been wondering when wed hear about it considering its supposed to come out in October I personally have read First Strike The Flood and Fall of Reach a few Times over and i cant wait for the new addition isnt it supposed to be called The Ghosts of Coral or something??? anyways i love the update and i cant wait until the next one although i do love how you tease us considering it hypes up the game and everyone will be better off knowing less i mean if we knew exactly what happened and exactly what the maps and campaign levels looked like i doubt everyone would be AS excited dont get me wrong wed still be pumped but you know what i mean anyways look at me jabber on Great update keep up the good work and keep us posted on the Novel Info

Ah, just the type of update I like. Vague and yet so revealing at the same time.

Thanks Frankie ^_^

P.S - Do you draw the Mister Chiefs yourself or do you kidnap an artist and make them do it? If so, how do you keep them still so long?

Oh yes, WETA Workshop working on Halo. If the movie goes all wrong, at least there'll be great sets and computer-spices that you can watch ;)

Frankie-dude, what is that old favourite that has the incredible sunset? Death Island, maybe? I can - or cannot - imagine how cool it can be to watch sunset and see the silouette of another amster Chief... maybe I'll take a photo and enter a photo-competition :D

Look for the signs, the keepers of the flame.
They will lead you to war, and perhaps, to victory.

Finish the Fight

Great update, best since the Halo 3 announcement update. We all know all you guys are workin' real hard, we're grateful, and keep it up! I'm glad to see the new novel is rolling along, and some movie news should be good. Countin' days 'til November 2007 already...

"Joseph turned in his chair and said, "I look upon the fields. Dry and cracked. And hear the cries for rain. Soon. The rain shall come." Then he swiveled, and spoke no more."

I believe I have figured out what Joe is saying. He is using a metaphor. The halo fans are the "dry and cracked fields" who yearn to learn more about the Halo Movie, which is the "rain." By stating that the "rain" shall come, he is exclaiming that a big movie update will COME!!!

Hopefully, next time he will say a thunderstorm or flood will arrive.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Love the M.C. Escher inspired art, and can't wait to find out what can be bigger and more mennacing than a hunter...

P.S. Wow...You're a genious Snoopyrocks...to think it took you this long to figure out what that statement ment...
