i asked on page 4 but didnt get a response...

does ANYBODY remember who bungie's rival is?


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 think they should.


Im pretty sure the rival is Gears of War.
we are the most dedicated halo fans around and i think we deserve the right to be in the know before anyone else.

Rawr!

Wait, Frankie did Marine/Brute voiceovers?

Any chance you could release like, one of each, just for some lol's? Nothing that would ruin any story/secrets in Halo 3, but I'd love to hear Frankie's attempts at being a Brute or a Marine. They must be priceless!

Though I can't help you with Podcast suggestions, I would like to thank you all for another great update. Where do you guys come up with this stuff lol, just so funny. You guys are just so likeable, just like Stan from that one commercial... Aaaaanyway, cool update, can't wait for the game. And I don't know if anyone noticed this, didn't read everyone's posts, but it looked to me that they hinted at a compass for H3, which I've been wanting since Halo 1, so hopefully they'll incorporate that into the game. Was playing Outskirts today, found a scary Demon poster in a small room. "Looked" like a possible Forerunner. There was also a human snipe right next to it, but that's not important lol. Oh, if only Spring 2007 were tomorrow...
Also, after reading The God's post about Bungie spilling everything, I laughed. Yes, one day down the road they will just upchuck from a little stomach ache all the info on the next game, and we will be there to wipe it up with our eyes. Then that Bungie staff person will burp and say "Whoo, excuse me". That's how I like to see it. Yes, it will be very gross, but we will forget the stench and rejoice when we read what Bungie's near-mythological Halo 3 is all about baby...

I'm probably not the only one who noticed, but Master Chief's holding an assault rifle (like the one in Halo CE)

Should we understand something?

I love how you have been talking about Halo 3 lately without talking about it, if you catch my drift. It helps us to know what basically to expect: new weapons, new vehicles, new multiplayer modes, new maps, polished old weapons, a new UI, etc. Anyway, I really like the format of the podcast so far. Really there's two things you're covering: halo 2 matchmaking playlist and cheating updates and halo 3 updates. Maybe you could venture into some of the other stuff like halo pc/ce, halo vista, tournaments like mlg, pax or the next similar show you'll be attending, the HGN, waaambulance maybe, frankie or someone's experiences in game, halo in the news, how halo has and will continue to affect and even lead video game culture, some possible futures of the halo series in games and more, what it's like working at bungie (besides being awesome), and of course exhaustive explanations of halo 3 details when they're finally revealed. Stuff like that.

MY XBOX DIED THAT'S WHY.

Great update.
Love the podcast so far.
First segment of the podcast needed just a bit more alcohohic consumpion by the host and guest. It was informative but dry.
Second segment was much better.
You guys are going to to great stuff with this and can't wait until the next one!
<3 podcasts!!!

Yes....that the AR is back in H3....duh!
But it looks different to me, it looks like the MA5B, but also kinda different.
And in the concept art, it also looks as if the Chief is holding a second weapon right next to the AR. Just take a good look:
he is holding the AR, but when you look at his fingers.....they're not even surrounding the trigger or anything that is attachted to the gun.....very weird, just take a close look and you'll see what I mean. Now if you look closer, it is almost as if a shotgun is attached to the side.
maybe this is just a piece that wasnt done very well by the creator, but it is kinda odd to say the least.

Halo's a hell of a drug.

Bungie should bring in some outside testers. I think the guys and gals who do the extreme stuff in Halo should be allowed to test it. Those people seem to find some of the craziest stuff. Maybe you guys should interview them for your podcast.

It's not technically Gears of War thats their enemy, its Epic, the creators of Gears of War.

~ He who seeks will find

to be quite honest, in the podcast, i'd like to hear some info on the single player campaign, nothing critically important so you wouldn't be able to discuss it, but how you guys develop and go through the process of creating levels.

1 - Interesting that in the Joe Staten interview http://halosm.bungie.org/story/staten083106.html the gif given in answer to this question:
HSP: Could you tell us a bit about the origin and history of the Flood? There was a quote from Jason that the Covenant had a previous history with the Flood; perhaps you'd shed some light on what happened, where it might have been, and when this "previous history" happened?

JS: McLees assures me that, in this case, a picture is indeed worth a thousand words:

is named "forerunner_warning_sign.gif"
while the animated version on this weeks update is named "gravemind.gif"

2:
The Bungie crew got the chance to go play one of our ostensible "rivals" games this week. It's another 360 game being published by Microsoft this year and if you put your brain in gear you can probably figure out what it was. To make a long story short, they loved it, and were excited about its promise.
So will the favor be returned with Halo3??? ;)

3 Can't wait for the final answer to this:
JS: Canon is tricky (see my controversial statement about "I Love Bees" - believe it or not, we're actually working to answer the "is it, or isn't it?" question right now!).
Here's one big vote for IS ;)
