Now, this is in regards to the Weekly Update/ Halo 3 info. Maybe its just me, maybe its not. But I'm just getting slighty peeved off at people who demand more Halo 3 content from the Weekly Updates. Do you guys sit on your asses all day? Get a hobby! I am fed up with people nagging about how, "There's not enough Halo 3 content!!111!", "ZOMG! This is lkie, teh worst update eva!" Get a life. I'm getting very tired of people moaning. You know what you're like? Kids. Kids who moan and moan about not getting enough candy! Now, it's got to stop! I'm fed up with it. Fellow members are fed up with it, and I'm sure the mods are fed up with it. The Weekly Updates are not specifically designed to satisfy your grunty Halo 3 thirst! They're about the community, the week inside Bungie. If you care for that sort of thing....Which, judging by peoples' posts, don't. So, I'll say it again: Grow up, folks, and show a bit of appreciation!

I'm right and you know it! You know it, the rest of the forum users know it, and your mom definately knows it!

I work at Microsoft. I have nothing to do with Halo and nothing I say is "the official word".

I just steer clears of the weekly update response threads...
But yes, they will tell us about halo 3 when they are ready to

I like to laugh at them. They need to realize that no matter how much they whine they will never get more or less info about halo 3.

EDIT: Hell, if i were bungie i wouldn't give us anything till a week before release date.

They don't relize that it's 2006, and the game is coming out in 2007.
Now, it seems like the weekly update is more for the true BUNGIE fans. It's the weekly BUNGIE update. Not Halo.

More than fifty percent (pretty much proven) of members only came to Bugnie for Halo. Me included, except I'm probably not going to get Halo 3 for reasons that people would just flaem me over. Of course, I'm not an immature little retard (i want halo 3 info now plz)...So I can live with only Bugnie-related updates.

You think it got what it takes to be..?.


God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

Let me get this off my chest: I have flurries of hobbies and I don't complain about Bungie. It would be funny though if this thread was posted as a news. I would die laughing.

(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.

I'd like to see more content in the updates, but im not going to complain. The less they tell the more excited we will be come release day.

Don't you just LOVE PRs?

Maybe we just tune in every Friday for the update!

And just because we want Halo 3 info doesn't mean we "sit on our asses all day". We just want info on Halo 3. Think about it. What you're doing here is about the equivalent of having your favorite band doing a concert in town, and you looking for information on it, and we all go "What are you, stupid?! What do you, sit on your ass all day wanting to find out stuff?!"

Yes, some people do whine and moan about it, but not all of us. You're making a big generalization there.

You know what's got to stop? You acting like you're superior because you're speaking out against us!

You're not totally right. Some points you made are valid, but there are a lot of dark areas in there too.

I hope a moderator sees this, and locks it, because you've got no right to flame all of us like this, because some people act immature. Good DAY, sir.

I dont want to know about Halo 3 before it comes out. As soon as I heard about Halo 2 I shut my ears to it so everything was totally fresh when I played it. So you can imagine my amazement when I got to play as the Arbiter as well as discovering all the new weapons. I get my full moneys worth that way and dont have to pay for magazines or waste time constantly checking websites for the smallest sliver of information.

I will do the same for Halo 3. I don't want to know where it will be set, how it will start, who I'll get to play as, what new weapon features there'll be. I frankly would love to discover all the new features for Halo 3 in the same fashion I did for Halo 2.

To that end, I completely agree with the author of this threads comments. Those who have nothing more in life to look forward to than the next pathetic dribble of Halo 3 "news" ( Gasp!!! The Master Cheif is involved!!! ) really need to sort themselves out. I can't wait for Halo 3, but the wait will be all the sweeter when It's totally new and fresh. Had I known about the beam rifle and the Arbiter before the release of Halo 2, I probably wouldn't have bought it. I love the "wow" factor I get out of high profile games when I have no idea whats coming. Some of you should do the same.

I'm not saying all of the community does it. Sorry if I upset you that way. There are ones who are mature enough to come on here and have a mature conversation. But certainly I find there are ones who come on here just to flame. I also(sadly) find they out-weigh the ones who are mature enough. I'm not acting like I'm superior. It's a little thing called voicing your opinion. I care about this community just as much as you do(I hope) and I believe that something has got to be said. There are ones who'll just sit back and let these things go on. I'm not that type of person. If I feel something is not right, I will speak out against it. But that's just me. I would like to think, though, that more people would do the same thing.

Hello :-D

I think you've got a point. I too also speak out when I feel something is not right or just if I want to share my opinion. On that note I'll take the opportunity afforded me by your thread to voice my opinion.

I would like to see more information on Halo 3 in the upcoming Weekly Updates.
