Funny stuff in there, funny stuff. Though I must say that I am one of the people that will not go towards the water's edge in a video game, because usually level designers put unrealistic drop-offs into a dark abyss at the start of the water. It's just one of those things you learn throughtout your life, just like how most children learn that after eating their first crayon, there isn't much point in eating any more because there just isn't any taste to the things, despite their vibrant colors. I was also thinking, how come there is no Halo CE underneath Halo 2 on the front page? Was it demoted to a position where it can't have it's name on the home page? And finally, diapers? I am interested to go see who is really working at Bungie. Do they speak any other words than Mama and goo-goo? Eh, just kidding, I'd have nothing against it, I'm just saying, diapers...

Good news to hear that the game is coming along but I wanted to point out something if you have already checked it out. You mentined games with "stand-out" water effects but neglected one I think has captured the effect beautifully above water and amazingly below. The game is 'Just Cause'. Go parachute over the ocean and watch how it interacts with the clouds and sunlight and then dive in and see the luminocity of the sun beams lighting through the water and hitting the coral reef.

personally, i don't care what the water looks like, i just wanna run through it with my Warthog and watch it splash! a cool thing would be if the tires and sides of vehicles became shiny from being wet. i only care about interaction. in H1 on the silent cartogripher level, if you shot the water...uh...dirt spashed out! in halo 2 MP level Headlong...same thing. anyway, give me the water that can splash correctly, like when shot or has a gun, grenade or corpse flying into it.

Hey Frankie can you tell us a date when you will show a Halo 2 screen shot instead of just saying "The environment is so beutiful even the place holders woohoo!" every week because that is all we realy care about.

Thanks!

Very nice update, but I have one problem with it...

WHERE IS SEXY MISTER CHEIF?!?!

I was really looking forward to that after you mentioned it at the end of the last Weekly Update. -_-, My hopes and dreams are shattered.

I find it sad that we still have to fight Grunts. Whatever happened to the alliance formed at the end of <Halo 2>?

And that German phrase actually means "Good-bye for now," if you didn't know.

  • 08.27.2006 8:33 AM PDT

So lets set this straight I betrayed you and your mad....its infection...
do you want to be a zombie ???

Xero Link

It actualy makes more sence than you would think. Just because the alliance was formed on delta halo dosnt exactly mean that the word travled that quickly to earth. Cause remember there werent any Jiralhanae on earth. And probably still arent...but just the same it would make more sence to still have to fight Sangheili and Unggoy since this is more of a end to all fights than anything else.

What I most want to know is why they didnt mention the water from the 2005 Zelda Twilight Princess video...if that water stays thats the most beutiful water ive ever seen in a video game to date...

The worst ive ever seen would have to be goldeneye on the nintendo 64 at the dam or caves.

-I bet the new weapon is a flame thrower because feasibility means difficult for the game to handle. I am guessing a flamethrower would be difficult to render to halo3's graphic level. Also it must be an explosive fiery weapon to destroy stuff easily like (cant think of his name) did.

-it might also be the fuel rod cannon because they said they are testing the feasibility of it and last game they said it was not possible in multiplayer because it has difficult graphics.

-Only other thing I can think of is a toned down gauss cannon because with it's shaking, bluring graphics it might be difficult to render.

I bet you 100% its a flamthrower that's why he says it might not make it in because they been trying to get it in every halo but it never works out.

I wonder if the Wolf thinks the Moon listens when he howls at it.

Ive got five dollars that says the penny arcade game will suck.

Is it in the works for Bungie to release anything for the Xboxlive Arcade? Such as Bungie classics, Halo Zero, or a random Pirate RPG?

Sketch reports back from Germany, where he's continuing our Halo 2 Vista Vistravaganza Week. We also chat in loose terms about Halo 3 graphics, but nothing to get too excited about, and apologies once more, for a horrible, horrible piece of art.


(Frank posted this one, not me, sorry if you were all wondering how I managed to do something cool.)

A flamethrower would be stupid... Especially in Multiplayer, MCs armor is fire proof so flamethrowers would be useless.

FRANKIE! WHERE IS PINKUHS MISTER CHIEF!!!??? DAMN!!!

what about destructable environments (i.e. blowing holes in the sides of Coag kind of Red Faction 2 style)... is there going to be any of that in this game?
