You all just got pwned by Achronos xO xD

Anyways, like the update thanks! Can't wait for Halo 3 and Halo Wars, if Halo Wars also comes out in 2007 (which I hope it does) then this is gonna be one kick-ass year.

Achronos, if your read this post, can you answer one thing. What is that gadget in the update that has the Halo 3 theme on it?It doesn't look like an Ipod if it is.

If you read the update you would know it's a Zune....

Alright... a few things:

Frankie really is an HD super freak, he really is incredibly interested in that stuff. When I read his part of the update, I saw Frankie being the huge HD geek that he is and going off on a tangent in typical Frankie fashion. I can see where you guys might think that that's just him being a corporate whore and all, but it's really not. He's just legitimately excited about it, sad as that may be.

You'll get your Halo 3 information soon enough. If you keep coming to this update looking for Halo 3 information then you will be continually disappointed. It is the Bungie Weekly Update. You get exactly what we promise: information about what's going on with Bungie guys this week. We held up our end, if you came here looking for Halo 3 information then it's not our fault you were disappointed. You don't go into the hardware store and get pissed off when they don't have any flour, do you?

As for the Podcast. That will not be a weekly thing, firstly. Bi-weekly at best, I'm betting. Secondly, did you happen to notice that it was hosted by Sketch and Frank? Did you also happen to notice that they were out all this week? As much as I'd love to pull awesome content like that out of thin air, the podcast can't happen without them. :)

Oh, you see I was thinking that that was the name of the thing, the "zune".

I just thought that since he said it was another random picture that came from some fan. I figured it was a already existing gadget that a microsoft employee "pimped out" with his own Halo 3 design skills. I had no idea there was a thing like that called a zune.

The Zune: http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/presskits/zune/default.msp x

A guy that works on the project sent us some pictures of the prototype with a Halo 3 background, I thought it was neat so I posted them. I guess that makes me a corporate shill. :sadface:

I want that Zune! I can have themes on it out of the box! (or so it seems) I won't have to "mod" it like I did to my ipod for cool themes.

Thanks KP, the "Zune" as you call it looks very sweet. I had to edit my post asking what a zune was, that was work, and effort, which I am allergic to.....I kid, I kid. So the Zune will function sorta like an Ipod and a video player, Im guessing?

Great update KP, but man, I was looking forward to another podcast, maybe I'll have better luck next time. Great update though, Bungie rocks!

I really hate to do this but it needs to be said: that update was just regurgitated information from X06.

If it was really about Bungie as a whole, we would be able to learn more about how Jason was cracking jokes this week or how they focus their chi powers into awesome development, not a tidbit about how Frankie is spending his time on a nude beach (that is extremely disturbing, to say the least). Why not a Q&A session with certain people, starting with Her Royal Highness Alta and moving all the way up to the big three:

The Scribe (Joseph Staten)
The Dude (Jason Jones)
The Awesome (Marty O'Donnell)

As for Halo 3 information, this had better be an utterly perfect game (and I mean a true work of perfection that revolutionizes gaming as we know it) if Bungie cannot even release an estimated amount of levels or weapons on it, considering that the game has faced over two years in development.

Once again, also, if Bungie was going to release a screenshot, why not release one of a character that we know will return on a blank background (the recent voice-over session piece in the podcast indicates the confirmation of Sergeant Major Johnson, which by conclusion (unless somebody is lying), guarantees the return of the Arbiter and Commander Keyes).

Gunshark. Out!

you mean that the weekly updates are pretty much pointless if you want any information about halo 3?

Guys, we all want screenshots, that's only natural. But chill out(love that level) a bit. I always look for H3 stuff in updates but that doesn't mean there will be H3 stuff in em'. There's other stuff to do with our lives while we wait. I mean I considered the x06 announcement the best update I've heard in a while. Halo Wars has me very excited. It's great to have 2 things to look forward to, no?

That cake looked nummy. I wanted to eat it because I'm supa fat.

Anyway, I loved the update here (besides the cake), and enjoyed Frankie's part of the update. Pretty good stuff.

Oh, and anyone who comes to the updates to look for Halo 3 information are made of fail.

Why people think they have the right to complain to Bungie after all the nice things Bungie does for them is beyond me. You guys moan and complain but you forget that no other game company keeps weekly updates like this. Obviously there are gonna' be some weeks that are pretty dull, anybody who works in an office knows that. We're lucky Frankie, KP, and Sketch show us anything at all! Even if it is recycled. If you don't like how your favorite game company spoiled you so much that you can't be satisfied try going to Electronic Arts or Ubisoft for weekly updates, good luck.
