A nice update; the Halo 3, concept art looks nice. However, that drawing of Mister Chief was....disturbing, to say the least.

Looooove the update! You got me all worked up that Peter Jackson is directing! Woot! I can't wait. The man is amazing. It's funny because my family is watching King Kong right now. That's ironic.... ...don't you think?

Also love the drawing of the Master Chief. Very nice. I'm starting to now see Halo 3 is going to have a "dark" story to it.

Btw, never got to say anything in the last update, but I can't wait for the new book to come out. The last 3 books are amazing and it blends in great with the original stories on Halo. Hope it's the same for the 4th one. Hopefully, Halo 3 will mention the other Spartans that survived or is this new book going to be talking about the story on Halo 2? Pshh who knows?

One more thing. What the hell is up with Mister Chief!? He's 3-D.... and almost naked. I've always wondered wut Mister Chief would look like if he was a Pizza Delivery man.... haha. Well, I'LL be sure to listen to the podcast. Great update and keep us posted!

That was a very good update. This is the kind I like to see when there is no Halo 3 news. I was beginning to think that you guys gave up on the podcast, we haven't heard anything about for several weeks. I can't wait for it!

Seems like I forget to mention one more thing, but it would be great to hear an impression of your brute voice Frankie. Maybe the next update you'll record one? I'm not sure who you would do it for unless one of us says anything in THIS update. Anyone wanna here a brute voice impression of Frankie? I bet he's a chicken to do it.... or shall I say Grunt? Ohh! Burn! Just kiddin... I love you.

I am really excited about the new Mylar. Awesome update...made me laugh, made me think, and overall satsified my Weekly needs.

Does that mylar confirm that the object in the trailer was indeed the ARK?

Yes it was. I hope all the debating will stop. One less useless topic in the Halo 3 forums, and one uber Mylar I hope to have the money to get.

Oh, and sweet update, lots of info, but not too much.. (unfortunatly)

Will the podcast be avaliable on iTunes when it comes out?

Great Update, lots of new info.

  • 09.01.2006 9:53 PM PDT

Great podcast. I'd personally live to hear about how the physics engine is looking compared to Halo 1 or Halo 2. As well as map changing varibles in enviorments ( dropping bridge in Zanibar ) is going to be used more fully in Halo 3. If used correctly I'd like to see these types of things to give advantage to a team or such. I'd also love to hear if the online code is going to improved so massive hit box's hit detection isn't as needed for Halo 3. Aim assist and such newb friendly varibles should e significantly downtoned for Halo 3.

I'd like the skill range for Halo 3 is extensive so there is never a doubt in the game when someones above average and whos pro. Halo 2 was newb friendly and that was not needed because the ranking system should vasty seperate groups who are pros and who are average joes.

It has the word "Halo" in its title. That means an automatic campaign playthrough for me.

It's going to look -blam!- awesome when you get it in your hands too. Mehve and I have been tweaking the image so that it will look perfect! Also Issac is going to sign all 500 too. Pretty cool huh?

  • 09.01.2006 10:08 PM PDT

Thumbs up to Stosh. I need my Halo mouse pad (hint hint), maybe when Halo 2 Vista comes out.

And the long awaited podcast. Way to lay down the truth about the whining cheaters! Nice intervews as well, really gives insight to how things are going.

And the ending Mister Chief was most unexpected, and at the same time predictable. Could it be a sublminal ad for a new item of apparel coming up in the Bungie Store?

Anyway, that was a most satisfying update.

I am quite looking forward to this up and coming podcast, and even more so to Halo 3. As an older gamer, with a couple of kids, I would be terribly interested to hear if anything is mentioned in this podcast about the issue of the majority of gamers and their prepubescent flare for profanity. I realize that trying to censor people on LIVE is next to impossible, but I’ve seen Microsoft do some pretty incredible things before. Even if there was something simple, like the ability to host public matches and kick out those not willing to abide by the code of conduct. I love Halo 2, and I used to love playing Match Making, but lately my other friends and myself find it less and less enjoyable as the profanity, racism, and other inappropriate comments become the norm. We usually end up playing G.R.A.W, where we can create a large public room, and weed out those who take the game much too seriously. I don’t expect to hear any kind of details, just the peace of mind to know whether or not you’ve thought about the issue.

That is the best picture I have ever seen in my life! Finally a great update! Not another "more Halo 3 news next week" which never happened.

Very good update.

As for the podcast, I think it would be good if you guys released a podcast episode with every Weekly Update or during the middle of the week(to keep people entertained while waiting for the Weekly Update). Either way is good. The podcast should have short summaries of recent Bungie news and stuff that everyone wants to hear (Halo 3). There should be a guest or an interview of workers at Bungie, or people from the community, included in every episode. OXM has a good podcast, maybe you guys could get some ideas from there. I hope you guys have all types of ways to subscribe too(iTunes, RSS Feed, etc.).

Thats what I want for the podcast..
Of course it will be better than that. Right?
