No, no, that's correct. What he meant was, as he was leaving the testing room, Carney, who was on the TV nearest the door, passed wind, causing Frankie to stagger. " They range from acarefully detailed" is just a typo. He meant to type, "As I took my leave of the testing room, Carney farted, causing me to move in the breeze."

Cool Halo 3 information. and even though there is no Halo movie information, i still loved the update. but for the next update, could you show us how the HUD would look if the Mister Chief was a playable character?

  • 08.11.2006 6:39 PM PDT

Good info. very good. and it makes me think (even though i bet im wrong) that we will be able to trade grenades with allies just like weapons. which might mean that there will be more grenade types. aaaahhhhh... im probably wrong.

but for the next update, could you show us how the HUD would look if the Mister Chief was a playable character?
yea that too. please that it would be great.

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.

To be fair, I don't think that he personally stated that he didn't like it when Bungie overhyped Halo 2 and I don't think that he personally stated that he was disappointed by the removal of the All Terrain Vehicle from Halo 2. Because of this, he doesn't have double-standards for Bungie. The community as a whole may have double-standards for Bungie, but this should be expected from a community that's composed of many different people with many different perspectives.

This is the worst update to this day...only because it makes me want to play Halo 3 more than ever now...*cry*

lol, jk very good update :D

You want to know what it'd be like to have no moderators on this site? Try this easy to prepare simulation.
Step 1: Procure yourself an intact box, something a fridge or similarly large appliance.
Step 2: Fill cardboard box halfway with feral cats. One or two should be rabid.
Step 3: Climb inside the box, closing the top behind you.
Step 4: Begin screaming and thrashing wildly at the cats.

Yeah. The news about the movie isn't so cool. A director has been signed according to the internet. I have never even heard of this guy. His name is... Oh -Blam!- its the communication SNAFU.

Yeah I am kinda confused about that... What was he doing.. My guess is playing golf or something since 343 is in a hole... but thats pretty obvious...

GREAT UPDATE!! Alot of great info... Hopefully we can have more of these kinds of updates then the ones with the Whambulance and just have the Whambulance a section all its own where anyone can comment on them...

Just an idea I guess!! But once again thank you Bungie and Frankie for the great update and keeping the suspense alive for this game....

I know this has been said many times above - but, I would just like to add that I enjoyed this update and that I thought there was some great information. Frankie - hats off to you.

OMG
Master Chief w/o his Helmet!


Stosh <3's me vicariously... at least someone does...

I just played regret again and one suggestion. Well two actually.

1. Do not have the Marines voices change mid level just so you can get the Aussie to say "look at the size of that thing" at the end.

2. When the female marine says "I'll be a good girl, I promise" don't let the aforementioned Aussie say "Mind if I use that one?" lol

Yeah. The marine conversations could sometimes be...nonsensical.

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.


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.


I totally agree! If every update had this much info, I'd be happy. It's just enough to whet our appetites, but not enough to give anything away- I love it. Here's hoping for some screenies or something sometime relatively soon. I'm dying for anything!

<------ Such a Halo 3 info whore right now.
