I think I might of caught a slight snippet of info from that there update...
The part where he says we were throwing around various grenades.
This leads me to believe they are testing out new grenades, or it may just be me clutching at straws, oh well.

Your clutching at straws :P, though then again maybe I'm just to cold to the world to hope that they might sneak some info in ;P

Who reads these?

lolchumley, poor ninjaonfire. all in all :hawtness.

HL out...

Seriously, even if that is a Bungie Weekly Update, and not a Halo 3 Weekly Update, where is the actual info on what goes on there? You're telling us things that most of us can probably already guess happens within a gaming studio, and when you get to something interesting, like Joe Staten and what he's working on you end it because you can't tell us anymore.

I can't wait until you guys actually start telling us what happens.

'Don't post that this update sucks because it had no Halo 3 info. It sucks for far more legitimate reasons and you know it.


That made me chuckle.

KP you're a beast! The update is much appreciated. I especially liked the feature on what Marty does (or doesn't) do in a day at work.

I'm also glad you put that bit in at the end. Some people just don't understand that these updates aren't HALO 3 UPDATES. They're just Bungie updates, and you deliver on that. Not to say I'm not looking forward to Halo 3 info... but I'm a patient person, and when the info does eventually come out it'll be all the sweeter.

Frankie always says "Ill be able to tell you more soon", so KP was basically saying they use it so much it should be trademarked ;)

At least thats what I assume..

Martin, do not squander your powers. You know I love you but I can't do your basic general tomfoolery for you and neither can Chumley. Be careful!

Oh Boy. Grrrreat update.

[/sarcasm]

You complain about the update, yet there is a 250+ post thread in the Halo 3 forum of you whining about the lack of an update...you are pathetic.

Wow, I really dont think this will ever be resolved. One of the Bungie Updates had all the trailer and info on HALO 3, you know the one Im talking about, the big one. So a hell of alot more people started coming to the site to see that update! THATS WHY PEOPLE THINK ALL THE UPDATES ARE FOR HALO 3! Im sick and tired of people complaining "this is BUNGIE weekly update, not HALO 3 update" for christs sake HALO 3 = Bungie.

Am I making myself even a little bit clear yet? People came to Bungie to see all that new info on Halo 3, most people being unfamiliar with the way this site works, so the MAJORITY of people think that the Bungie Weekly Updates are for Halo 3 info. Of course every week there is a major letdown because they dont understand its just a bunch of useless mubo jumbo. So what needs to be done, is BUNGIE needs to put up a very public noptice OUTSIDE of its weekly updates, possibly before you can enter the Updates at all, and have it say "THERE IS NO HALO 3 UPDATES, THIS IS JUST SOME USELESS INFO ON WHAT BUNGIE HAD FOR BREAKFAST, WHAT TIME THEY TOOK A PISS, DO NOT EXPECT HALO 3 INFO". People come from search pages or the internet somewhere and they dont know about your little rules and specifications, then they go to the forums asking why there isnt Halo 3 info, and they get ripped apart by the Unofficial Bungie Defence Trolls. Its all really a viscuos cycle, and Im sure that a few people arent even going to fully read through my post, or hahaha they might even read through this post and still run their mouths off, not understanding a single thing i said. I guess that says a few things about the forums being rampant with people who dont/cant read the rest of a thread and come out of nowhere with insults.

So bottom line? A MAJORITY of people, including unfamiliars come here expecting HALO 3 info to be in the Bungie Weekly Update (hmm how could that possibly be misleading?). So if you want to solve the problem, put up a VERY VISABLE NOTICE before people can read the updates, saying

"This isnt for HALO 3 updates guys, yeah sorry pretty much this is a bunch of talk, we can understand how you came here after spending your hard earned cash purchasing our previous titles using up your time to maybe get a few tidbits on Halo 3 which you will also purchase in the future. So nope, no HALO 3 info in here guys. NO HALO 3 INFO."


*sigh*, here come the trolls, completely ignoring the other side of the argument. flame away im going to breakfast.

I shortened the quote for page readability purposes..

Anyway Bungie = Group of people who make games, including the Halo franchies, Marathon and many more. The Bungie Weekly Update, is about whatever Bungie feel is relevant, they can choose wether its about the random things they do when no working, about their favourite games, or about Halo.

They do not want to say to much about Halo 3 because if they then remove the features they mention people will be upset, I remember when Halo 2 was meant to have a whole bunch of awesome things such as ATV etc, they did not materialize and it was somewhat anti climatic.

If you want to hear about Halo only, then go to any game site, they will be sure to publish anything about Halo 3 features. Its Bungies choice, most developers do not update you on their games.

It has the word "Halo" in its title. That means an automatic campaign playthrough for me.

yeah thats pretty much what im saying.

i mean, normal friggin people come from the internet here expecting info and they dont know that the bungie weekly updates are... well pretty much a myspace blog. but then they get pissed off that people complain about not getting info, when it doesnt say anywhere besides the most recent update? what gives chill the f*#@ out, especially the trolls on the forums who sit around all day on the internet (lol South Park just had a good example of those kind of people im talking about)

but seriously make it so blatantly obvious they have nothing about halo 3, you cant blame people on this one its so obvious what they come here for.
