Well lately in the updates they have been releasing more info about Halo 3... It's just a matter of time before they spill it all out. And what I mean about releasing more info, I mean about saying what characters will be back and stuff like that.

Well i'm sure they'll spice it up with some beatboxing and a 343 guilty spark voice effect just for you.
I have a feeling it wont be long until they start having interviews with actual halo characters who will be leaking stuff. It'll probably seem dodgy but prove to be a comical and effective way to reveal hints about what is going to take place in halo 3 campaign.

Whats this about "extra health" ... I hope that isnt a nod towards having Health Bars in Halo 3!!!

I really hope there are no Health bars in Halo3! God Halo 2's shield system is perfect. I really really really dont want to see the health bars return.

PS: Health bars would really suck...

I work for the Department of Defense.

Well that was rather interesting. I have never really read a weekly update, this being my first. I really like the Matchmaking popularity Pie chart. Its cool to see whats most popular, I wonder if Team SWAT gets to be the most popular, will you consider making it Ranked?

Not that my opinion matters, but if it ever got ranked, i would hope it was just SWAT classic with human Grenades on body and map. Thats how i learned SWAT. I mean, SWAT is supposed to simulate the actual thing right? And the actual thing has nades on him. Thats just my 2-cents.

The Concept art is pretty sick, im making some revisions to it right now. All your talk about halo 3 testing, playing, goofing, And your general divine exposure to one of the most anticipated games ever made drives me nuts. Hearing about the new Turf-esque map is also such a tease. Turf is my favorite map (Other then Sidewinder) So i cant wait to try some SWAT on this new Turf. Make it BIGGER! Think "Texas" Big meal? How about "Forerunner Meal"

Well, i hope i have provided that "Insight" you requested!

(Edit) -- I just got an idea for a new Pie chart. Can you see if you can post a Map popularity Map? like, Fpr each of the play lists, a pie chart that graphs the mpst popular maps?

That would be really cool.

Good stuff, as always, Frankie. I LOL'd at the weird new Mister Chief pic.

Can't wait for Halo 3. The new Turf-like map sounds awesome. I want some classic-New Mombasa maps!

Love the update. It had all kinds of wonderful tidibts. I'm glad that we're starting to hear more Halo 3 news in a more consistent fashion. These are the weeks that I love, and I pretty much hold my breath all week long looking forward to some Halo 3 news. I know, I'm awful.

However...

Frankie, when you guys finally do drop some bombs news-wise about Halo 3, are we at bnet going to be the first to get our grubby hands on it? Or is it going to be more like E3, where everyone got the trailer at the same time.

I understand that you guys have no obligation to us, but man, that would be so sweet for those of us who have hung on your every word for the last few months. I would love to see that info just before everybody else did. And I would love Frankie forever with a vicious kind of man-love.

Of all the mister chief pictures I've seen that is most definitely the worst. I love the Ark Storm though, that's great (partly because Master Chief isn't wearing a marathong)!

They had one in an Update before a couple of months ago. I'm not sure was it before or after the Halo 3 announce. But i think it said lockout was the most popular in custom games. And lord they're right about that.

I'm looking forward to more podcasts. I'm getting into a game design course now in college this week and i'd love to hear more about even the small inner workings of bungie. Just interesting facts and such. Hopefully i'll be one of those guys joining your ranks someday. Or even competing with ye and then joining you when you probably beat us.

It is my personal belief that a podcast is better if it is done in a more "chatty" tone.. For example, my idea of the ultimate format for a Bungie podcast would be:

Frankie as a host, and him being in a room with a few of the other bungie guys (The ones who are related to the news of the week). And they work their way through all the things that've happened that week in Bungie, all giving their opinions on whats happened in a fun way, joking and laughing and the like.

A good example of the sort of thing I'm talking about is the Hotspot podcast that Gamespot.com does. Something like that, but with Bungie staff members would be good.

If you read this and take note, thanks Bungie. If not, oh well, I'll listen anyway. ;)
