Did Frankie say he was voicing a Brute, and that we would be surprised as to who the Brute was? Does this mean Tartarus is back?...


No. I meant it's surprising that someone as pretty as me voices a Brute. I guess it's jump to conclusions week at bnet.
Week?

Amazing update Frankie, lots of cool news in there. The Halo 3 concept art is really nice.

I wish the podcast would be video though, that would be icing on the cake.

lol Ninja you sound wierd in the postcast, great anwsers though! =)

I call shenanigans, it doesn't even sound like me. My voice is deeper and much more angrrrrr. I think someone applied a voice mask while I was recording or something.



I had a witty retort for this, but dag gum it, I lost it somewhere between hitting 'reply' and when I started typing.

Look for the signs, the keepers of the flame.
They will lead you to war, and perhaps, to victory.

Snuggins. Pod Cast - I think that it would be entertaining to hear interviews of the voice actors, to get their point of view on Halo or at least some funny out-takes. Hopefully David Cross will be back.


No David Cross. I hope

I know. Usually I'm not the crazy conspiracy theorist, but for some reason, my mind just made the connection. But I see I was wrong now and understand what he was saying. I now feel reconciled! lol

First of all: great update!

In the upcoming podcast I would like to hear about the difficulties Bungie faces in the process of Halo 3 art design. The 360 allows much more advanced graphics, but I've always felt like the Halo games don't want to be too realistic, they have their own art style. So I would be really interested in the discussions the Bungie team had about the advanced art design in Halo 3!
Another thing I'm interested in is the design of the Covenant species for Halo 3, because I never thought the Hunters or Brutes looked really scary and huge in Halo 1 & 2. But with the upcoming movie and the advanced graphic horsepower of the 360, I think there has to be a change in the design of the Covenant species, especially the Hunters.

Keep up the good work and the support for your community!

Frankie, every week is jump to conclusions week. By the way, Pinkuhs Mister Chief was... "interesting", but I think that was even more disturbing than yours last week.

It would also be cool in the podcast if you had a Mister Chief short film.

Great update guys the podcast was really great.

What I liked (that I think are important):
-humor
-information
-sound quality
-clear voices

What I didn't like-
-A little short but you said you were going to add more so that's fine.

What is needed-
I think that if you add some easter eggs in it, maybe a riddle or something to give us hints about Halo 3. That would have people listening very intently.
