I've also been practicing on Halo 2 for Vista which looks amazing right now. Slippery smooth frame rate and very high resolution graphics. I do NOT want to get used to playing on a mouse and keyboard though, so I am sticking to using the 360 controller for the moment. Of course the best part is playing against the Vista port team who ain't exactly awesome at it (yet) so I get the minor joy of pwning noobs.

You tease! Throw us a bone, here!

Hey guys, an update so lacking in movie info that you'll be all, "Whaaaa?" But them's the breaks. In this short weekly update we talk about everything BUT the Halo movie. Go figure. See you next week!


As long as you talk about Halo3 we don't care.

So true...

Frankie are you sure a finished version of Halo 3 will be done by 2007? I mean considering that it is almost late 2006 already, doesn't that sound like cutting it kind of close?


Actually it's more close to the middle in between you could say. Well, they have been working on it a pretty long time if you ask me. Like Frankie said in the update they're all ready done completely with one level and Frankie got to play through 3 levels so those levels are almost complete to. So I would guess that they're right now making 7 levels. And with 90 people I doubt it will be all that hard. 2007 is not that close. So don't think Halo 3 will be out be 08,

A good amount but not everything. We will never know close to everything till the actual game comes out. But since it's Frankie we will probably know nothing JK we will know enough to be satisfied.

Needs less updates that suck ass. By this point in development of Halo 2 we had seen quite a bit of at least renders and had some knowledge. Figuring how the game might come out next July on the 7th (7.7.07) or most likely in November of 2007, that puts Halo 3 11-15 months from launch, and although the weekly updates only started in Jan. 04, 10 months from Halo 2 launch, we still had some info on the game. With Halo 3, there is relatively no new information that other than what we know from the trailer. And no, I don't want to know a ton of information about the game, just some teasers and maybe a screen every few weeks/months.

Great update, we now know there are atleast 3 levels in Halo 3. I might just faint from the thought growing inside my tiny little brain. But I'm a man, and men don't faint so I won't. I'd really like to see them scripting random dialogue for in game AI to say. It really adds to the game play, I'd love to help but unfortunately I only have two weeks left while I'm off. I always liked that one speach the marine gives about being so excited he ran out of grenades and began throwing his lunch. Ah yes, good memories. Go team Bungie, you can do it.

Once again awesome update, anything about the campaign mode is pure gold in the Bungie Weekly Update!

What difference will that make as long as it has good gameplay.

Bungie is starting to piss me off now with these crappy updates, and they don't even care.
*fixed bad grammar and capitalization*

You know, if they didn't care, they could always tell you jack squat and leave you in the dark. They don't have to do this for us you know.

As for the update, nice to hear that the marines won't be driving me off a cliff... as often. I can't wait to see.. erm... hear the audio in the game.

Oh and if your friends won't play Halo 2, you can always add me as a friend. ;-)

(10:19:49 PM) Scruss: oh and pezza, i saw what you did to that cat
(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

Nice update, short and sweet.

Need less forum posters with double standards.

You can't complain about overhyping a game and whining that we cut things (a.k.a the ATV) like a bunch of you did regarding Halo 2, and then turn around and complain that you're not getting enough info about Halo 3.

The game is coming is 2007. This is 2006. Expecting more than what you're getting right now is not something that will lead you to happiness.

For three weeks I've waited. For three weeks I've longed for one. Now I get one, a good update.

  • 08.11.2006 5:56 PM PDT

MORE COWBELL!

I just wanted to point out to everyone that Frankie used "Bad Guys" instead of the Covenant and "Good Guys" instead of the Marines. Me thinks I smell a playable Arby again.

I wouldn't read to far into it. Frankie's a big tease, just ask the ladies in Dublin.

In my opinion, what was released in this update was the perfect amount of info at this time of year. Not so little that you feel like you waited a week for nothing (of which there have been 1 or 2), but not so much that we feel the Bungie is making a mistake.

Overall, this is my new fave update.

Actually the update did give us some good info just because it wasn't playlist doesn't mean it's not good. Just be patient you'll get you info when you want complaining won't change that.

What about last weeks update? That was probably the best one as far as Halo 3 info goes since Halo 3 was announced on May 9th.

Anyway great update Frankie, though the next playlist update should be out this next week or the week after that and we still don't know what the new playlist is. Are you guys just going to surprise release it? Anyway that's fine with me, I like playlist update surprises.
