You guys keep saying that you want to make the best movie possible but come on you got a noob director that no major studio is going to accept for the large budget that you want, and let's face it I am sure every company that makes a game to movie adaptation says we want to make the best movie possible but they always suck, what would make any difference with yours. While the movie is being made nobody is going to be coming to you guys and asking for approval. Besides even if it does come out it will more than likely have to be coming out at the same time as HALO 4! LOL

Best update in a while. My favorite portion was the community round-up, hope to see it more in the future.

Terrible news about the halo movie... if we're lucky it'll come out on 2009. *heart breaks*

Great news again about EGM, I really hope you are being serious that you're going to be more forthcoming with info once the cat is outta the bag. Looking forward.

and bla, bla, bla about stopping modders and stand-byers.

And even though you probably think its really funny for a Bungie member to be doing a BXR, I think its bullcrap how you keep telling us its cheating yet you do it. And no, I dont do it. I hate people that does.

Check out all my theories and creations at HBO!

Or read my fanfic, "Effort Cannot Conquer Faith" -- it won a signed novel from Eric Nylund!

Is it just me, or does Fox have a habit of cancelling great things? I know Universal played a part in it too, but still... Fox has cancelled Firefly, Futurama, and Family Guy all when they were at the height of their popularity and with a wide fan base. It's almost given that they'd do the same for Halo...

July 15, 2008... The day the timer stood still.

Frankie made a spelling error! He used their instead of they're. ZOMG!!!!

Frank O'Connor is a 12-year veteran of the videogame magazine industry and has therefore never worked an honest day in his life.

So we have to wit 3 to 4 weeks until we get news from bungie right? or are you guys giving all the info out at the same time. and alpha version. That means it's really not done. looks like march 2007 is not happening. Heres to July 7th 2007.

So I was just playing the new Splinter Cell game and it got me thinking...

If Sam Fisher was given the task of infiltrating the Bungie offices to hack into their computers and retrieve an early build of Halo 3.... what or who could stop him?

Anyway, looking forward to November goodness.

Only if there were crazier things you could do with these updates, which I know can happen.

I grew up.

Guys I hate to be the one to start a rumor, but I do have an interesting theory about this update.

Look closely at the picture they took with Marty in it. Now, look at the TV, the one pixelized with more blue. Before going on imagine this:

Picture Lockout. BR Base, middle floor. Now walk slowly towards the back near the hole, and face the center towards the Sniper Tower. Now pixelize this image. Compare that to the TV image in the photo Bungie showed....

Before spazing out, I thought it was kind of familiar. I took a screenshot (I wish I could upload it, but at the moment I cant) and asked a friend to pixelize it. He's gonna get on it right away. In Bungies pic you can also see the ammo counter, outline of a gun, and the lower left shows the radar.

Of course, Bungie's pic could just be Halo 2 and they are teasing us by pixelizing that too. But why bother? At the same time it makes you think: Would Bungie really show off 3 brand new pre-Alpha makes of maps to EGM and 1up? Why not show them remade maps so they don't get to see anything that is overly new?

Just a thought really.

Somebody should tell the guy who wrote the last letter (the one about a-holes) that he can easily mute people and not have to leave his headset off.

It's amazing how many people don't seem to know how to use this feature, or even know it exist at all.

I think he was just venting in Bungie's general direction.

Can't wait, just two weeks to finding out (a lot? Hopefully) more about Halo 3.
