I know what you mean. I almost had to ban Frankie for posting that, it has to break a rule somewhere. Alas, he is in charge of the content around here, so no such luck.

I was really enjoying this update. I was all ready to reply and say, "Great update Frankie! New York City loves Frank O'Connor!" But then I saw that Mister Chief at the end of the update. Now, I'm blind.

Great Update. I really enjoyed the podcast.

In a future podcast I'd like to hear one of the Campaign designers interviewed, or someone from the cinematics team. Maybe have some discussion of the Halo story?

Marathong? That's original.

The goggles may do nothing, Ach, but you must keep hydrated. It's programmed into your DNA.

p.s. Who is Pinkuh?

p.s. ^ 2.. I'd like to see you guys pimp the community in your podcast(s). I've always been a big fan of the bungie community. They rock so hard. You guys have the news updates, and humpday challenges, which the community can contribute to.. And I'd like to see you guys and girls talk about it's importance in the podcasts. Maybe you can have some Louis Wu interviews or something. sHe rawks. I'd also like to see some ladies challenge those guys over at wideload to a humpday game of some Halo 3. pizzas, in and out in seven minutes. That leaves plenty of time for some humpday challenges.

Just don't fill up the podcasts with vague descriptions and censored crap. Thanks

This was an awesome update. Loads of relevant information. Teasers on Halo 3. New Optimatch Stats. Brief talk on The Peter Jackson Film. 2 pictures (1 scary). It had everything. Great job Bungie, keep it up guys.

Well done on the update Frankie/Bungie. Excellent work.

I really, really enjoyed all of the new information. In particular, I really enjoyed listening to the interviews with Bungie staff.

I think there were also some very encouraging and very positive hints that Bungie are working hard to make Halo 3 really enjoyable for all kinds of Halo players. For instance, from early stages of design onwards they are clearly taking into consideration how map design/weapon layout will require different considerations for the 'serious MLG type' than it does for your 'casual, pick-up-and-play weekend warrior'. If they hit a balance here I think we can expect some really outstanding maps for Halo 3 :-)

Good luck there.... you take all the time ya need!

Also really excellent was the stuff on cheating etc. Sounds kinda sad, but I think it had a real postive effect to hear real voices explain things I may have seen only in scattered text before. Whatever the case, I agree Bungie should personally raise all children now (joke).

All in all though this week's update was hugely appreciated...... I think alot of people here can agree on that :-)

I'd love to hear more interviews and, as for content, I'll leave that for monkeys to decide on.

Thanks again Bungie

Driven to distraction. ^_^

Awesome update, great news all round!

Although tbh, I was a little disappointed in the slip that pretty much confirmed the Forerunner structure as the Arc. I was hoping it was just a way of getting to the Arc or something.

...still I guess you could still call it an "Arc Storm" if the real Arc was sitting somewhere above those crazy clouds. I'll shut up now and stop trying to second-guess Bungie. :P

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?


Hell yea dude...I am glad to see you got a job doing something awesome there. I loved the Scarab Mylar I bought, and I can only anticipate what this one will be like.

Yea, but wouldn't Frankie have Alta ban you from the snack bin? That would suck...

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Sweet.

I'd like to have dyckoff or one of the other AI guys or a designer come on (maybe all at once?) and talk about what you are doing with the marines this time around. Will they move in squad formations and actually yell orders to one another? or are they going to be the same old smart ass marines that are basically only company for some of the adventure? OR a mix?

Oh, and whats the coolest/creepiest/scariest thing (that will make it into the game) that you have seen the AI do so far?

Can't wait to see the new vehicles in Halo 3. That pic Pinkuh did made my face fall off. That's gross. That Halo 3 art is pretty sweet though. When i saw that pic, it balanced out with Pinkuh's grossness, and my face was repositioned.
