Man I still want to know who the director will be in the Halo movie.

Other than that, this update rocks my socks.

I wonder what a "Mid-sized" map is considered as in Halo 3.


Dang, good call. I hadn't thought about it that way...

Great update! I lubed it! I can't wait for the movie to come out. When I saw the headline when I first went into bungie.net, I think I peed myself a little when you mentioned the movie and the novel. I'm getting goosebumps just thinking abou it! Woo! Btw, the Mister Chief is spectacular. I can't wait for the next update! Geez... I sound like a nerd now.

I'm not really sure. Good question. I think Peter Jackson MAYBE helping produce the movie, but that's all I heard. I do believe it was under yahoo movies but I'm not sure if they're accurate on the movie.... yeah. Here's the site. http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hp&cf=prev&id=18087501 80

Nice update and all.

But the more i read about HALO and all the gange, the more it seems to me that it more then just a g7me. It's more of a H7LY perpos. Even the name John 117 has a meaning if you are refering to the B7BLE: John 1:17 "The Revelation of St. John the Divine". I have been a new comer to the halo world, I have played halo and halo 2 soon after the relisol date of halo 2. But i never thout HALO was so h7ly. I guss what i am trying to say or ask the ppl at BUNGIE is. Is HALO and HALO 2 more then just a first person Alien shooter?

Hey, my friend claims he got a Demo of Halo 3 in a magazine. He said, that you can only play like half of the first level though. Can you send me a pm at li97 if this is true?

Interesting. Don't tell me you even think he could be telling the truth.

If you do believe him, I have this absolutely fabulous bridge in Brooklyn...

I can tell that halo 3 will be great, i need to start saving for everything halo 3. when i first read it i was thinking of zanzibar, but then the forest temple from zelda. great update, if you put that much halo 3 info into every update until the release, then i'll be a very happy person. that means less trash talk 4 n00bs!

Quote from the update :

"He did however introduce a couple of new maps into the rotation for test, while polish is applied to the graphics of the already playable maps. Now most of them are starting to look roughly the way they will when the game ships in 2007. One of them however, was a lighting fan's dream come true. The use of HDR lighting is incredible, with a vibrant, radiant sunset on a map location that will look familiar, but not identical to an old favorite." End Quote!

My guess is that it will be a remake Of Blood Gulch. I don't see it possible that they would ever leave that map out of any Halo game!. The fact he says it's a Halo Classic, and the part about the sunset, only brings a couple maps to mind. Obviously it is an outside or outdoor map because of the specifics he said. It's easy to narrow down and when you Talk "Halo" Classic, the first thing that comes to mind is "Blood Gulch"!!!!!!!! I Hope I'm right, but it is only a guess !!!!!!!!

It's also pretty funny I asked about that "Corner Miister Chief" we saw at the end of June, I asked about 3 days ago when we would see the rest of it?, and low and behold.....there it is!
It is an awesome Mister Chief for sure!

Funny how I also asked if you would draw me a Mister Chief that looked like he had Eaten or Drinkin "Anything" from Syd Barretts Appartment. I guess you descided to Draw it from Syd Barretts Eyes, cause I'm sure that's what he would look like to Syd Barrett, infact, that is how "Everything" Looked to Syd Barrett while he was alive. I don't know if you did this at my request, but even if not, I greatly appreciate it and i will Label it the "Best Mister Chief Drawing Ever".(Like Frankie predicted) It's just funny how i was asking to see something of that sort in a Mister Chief drawing for quite some time. If It was done intentually, then I cannot thank YOU enough !

THANKS FOR THE "BEST MISTER CHIEF DRAWING EVER" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this drawing was done according to a request of mine, I know you can't say so even if it's true due to the nature of Syd Barretts "Demeaner" and I know Bungie cannot and will not endorse such "Behavior". And I'm not saying that I endorse that "Demeaner" either !

But WOW! I still can't believe the Drawing went up 3 days after I asked about the "Full Drawing"....anyways, I guess I'm done for now and thanks again!

Thanks for another great "Bungie Weekly What's Update"

Frankie you rock ! Shine ON !

As for the movie...

I want Steve Downes to play the voice...Just like the game...And some 7 ft tall unknown actor to play the body.
Much the same way they did with Darth Vader.

I DO NOT want some action movie guy to play the part...that would just SUCK. What You want Chuck Norris? NOOOO!!!!!! Dumb Ass!

MC is 7 ft tall. So They need a 7 ft tall actor.
Most 7 ft tall people are pretty skinny...but that is not a problem, the rubber under sute can be fleshed out to make the actor look buff...add the top armor and you have Mr. Bad Ass! :)


Oh, and a basketball player would be perfect. They are athetic! Can do the stuff...and I'm sure there is a BB player that's a big fan of Halo...and wouldn't mind just playing the body...just so they can be involved. I know that I would do it. But I'm a foot too short. :(

HEY, THAT WAS A GREAT UPDATE! I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR OF THE NEXT NEWS OF THE HALO PROJECTS.

Do you think you can handle my gigantic COC?
~!TheHalo3D!~
-If your car could travel at the speed of light, would your headlights work?
-What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
-I intend to live forever; so far, so good.

A map that would be amazing in Halo 3 is something that looks like Dry Dock in G.R.A.W... That would be insane for MLG

I'm so excited, I can hardly contain myself... And MC is a real looker, if the 'preview hint' is even close... :D
I can't wait to see this game in action... I mean, variable lighting saturation? I love that kind of thing! And I can't wait for the games story development

maybe I should check out the books?
