Well done Bungie. I love the Podcast. Way better than expected.

The sound at 48:02 gives me goosebumps

Cool update. I really like the second 3D logo, I think that should be the H3 logo. But that's just my opinion...

The parts that I liked best were when you talked about the sound and showed the mystery sound.

The whaaaambulence was hilarious.

I didn't really like the Matchmaking part however

Grunt: "I'LL BITE YOUR KNEECAPS OFF!"
Grunt: "IT'LL TAKE MORE THEN THAT TINMAN!"
Elite: "Come out monkey, I have a banana for you..."

My 2 cents: I prefer the second 3D logo to the one you guys chose; It just seems cooler, and more halo-y. And the podcast got off to a REALLY slow start, but once you guys got into the features (The interviews, voice outakes, mystery sound, and Waaaambulance), it because interresting and actualy entertaining.

I would say the mystery sound, if it is played like that in the final cut, is part of the environment; no vehicle or gun I imagine would ever make a sound that goes on and off like that. I am leaning towards a flashy forruner thing or a human generator/air conditioning system.

What I would like to see in the podcast? Voice clips that didn't make it to halo 1 and 2 and other stuff that we will most likely never hear again.

PS: 6th post EVER!

That update was brilliant.
I'm still awestruck at the theme park that is the Bungie office.
100% looking forward to more podcasts, but definitely get that cowbell in there!
However I was expecting more wacky antics from Frankie, like a Mister Chief voice or something.

Great update. I really enjoyed the production values on the podcast. And Quit talking about your inexperience with them. You did great.

However one thing that I enjoy that most podcasts do is to have a specific podcast page for the archives and direct links to things you talk about.

Otherwise I hope to see it again sdoon.

This is the best update since the announcement of Halo 3. The podcast is finally here! This first one is great. About how often will the podcasts be released? By the way, I love the Halo 3 logo.

What is this about Podcast #2 having "juicy" info after X06. Could this mean that something big will be announced at X06 concerning Halo 3?

  • 09.23.2006 11:56 AM PDT

A witty signature.

Currently listening to podcast. It's hard to hear Frankie, but the content is awesomeness.

Get up so I can kill you again!

The Waahmbulance was funny =D especially the guy who asked what matchmaking mode he should use mods in =P or the guy that started the letter with saying that he was standbying =D omg, kids these days...

I was though expecting more of the sounds created for the AI. Not just placeholders, but real sounds that are going to be in Halo 3. But hopefully we'll soon be able to hear grunts and elitets and other characters in future podcasts. I just love the combat dialog for the grunts in Halo 1 and 2, and I'm pretty sure that it'll be good in game that ends the world as well.

Two weeks without snacks? There must be some kind of law in the constitution that prohibits that kind of things to accure. I would die. Oh well...let's hope that your princess brought some goodies from her trip to where ever. Snacks are good, and they should be belong to you.

For the next podcasts I would be happy to hear more about Halo 3, maybe some gunshot sounds, combat dialog from both sides, maybe some dialog from a scene in the game. Maybe some new music from the game if that's finished.

And I like that it's long, shouldn't be shorter than 30 minutes, but propably not longer than 1 hour. Something in between just like with this one. Good job Frankie and Bryan, was it? And be sure to bring us the best game there is. Oh, and hey, are u gonna release a new trailer for Halo 3 at X06 and put in on the Marketplace? I have a feeling you will =P

Thanks Bungie. This is most definitely your best WWU on Halo 3 since the announcement of it's revealing.

Good stuff.
Nice start with the podcast.
I hope "some how" It can become more interactive. Get the community more involved with the podcast.

Nice update, the 2nd or 3rd logos are the best in my opionion, have u ever tried putting the "O" and the 3 together HAL(3)? it would probably look ugly anyway...
