Frankie Quote: "Affecting enemy AI group behavior by targeting specific bad guys and in specific ways, is satisfying, tactical and will make for oodles of replay value."

That would be friggin sweet if it's a lot better Halo 2. Example of Halo 2: Kill elite. Grunts run in panicked circles. It would be awesome if the AI was like FEAR, I've heard FEAR has great AI.

Hao’s work on “atmospherics” is dropping in daily too. That is to say, particulates in the air that dramatically and subtly affect the quality of light and realism of the atmosphere. Objects in the distance are obscured by a realistic haze rather than fogged out or knocked out of focus. Some of this can be seen in the H3 announcement trailer, but in normal gameplay environments, it makes a big difference. It’s possible to achieve anything from a dry and dusty plain t a close, humid forest in terms of visible atmospherics. We won’t hit you over the head with it, but it’ll be there!


I don't know why I wanted to point that out, but still great update.

Witty? Screw that.

Definitely the best update i've ever read (in terms of information given).
Boo to KP, his last update had LOADS of censoring in! >:(
So, when are we getting the second podcast, then? I refuse to read "busy". I'll keep reading "Lazy".

One level had an entire mountainside removed to reveal a large body of water beyond it

Is this a bug/placeholder thing, Bungie deciding to remove the mountain to see/show off the water, a scripted thing (Mountain destroyed) or an in-game thing (you fire a lot of rockets at mountain, it's destroyed)?

"Everytime I read an update, the urge to get H3 increases."
It's called Subliminal advertising :)

Sorry for being all over the place, i was copy and pasting into my notepad whilst reading the update posts, marking things i wanted to type about... i learned from previous updates...

Frankie, please don't take this personally and if you do, then I guess im screwed? You said in the Update that Halo 3 feels Like Halo, and that Halo 2 players were able to pick the game up and were basically doing everything as far as skill level the same as Halo 2. What about Halo: CE Players? Now what gets me is does the game feel like Halo? or does it feel like Halo 2? Unfortunately,My friends and I have played both games ALOT, Halo ALOT more than Halo 2. We have come to the conclusion that the TWO games have absolutely NOTHING in common, and the feel between the TWO games are almost opposite. So I'm asking if you could please try and be fair and let us know what you mean? I mean It's impossible for Halo 3 to feel like "Halo" in general due to the fact that they are two COMPLETELY different. So what is it that you mean? If Halo 2 were like Halo, or Visa Versa, then your statement would be Obvious as to what you mean. But, anyone who has played BOTH games knows that "Halo 3" cannot be like or feel like "Halo" in general.

It was a great Update, and it was Nice to read, and we appreciate the effort you are putting in to give us information. But no offense to you and Bungie, but WE don't believe a word you guys say. Especially after the Release of Halo 2 and the changes that were made to it in the final version, was absolutely NOTHING like you guys had showed us before launch. So why should we believe you now, especially when you speak in such a "Broad" manner. IE: "Halo 3 feels like "Halo"."

Thanks, Jake (A Bungie Fan)

Agreed..

Also I'm kinda scared at the fact that the Assault Rifle is looking to be the starting weapon.. and the fact that you said you'd choose it over the BR in mid range battles.. sounds to me it will be even more of a spray fest than Halo 2 is..

I know that burst fire makes the shots more accurate.. but that can only do so much.. I still think that the Halo 1 pistol should come back.. Not saying make it a 3 shot kill.. but maybe a 4 shot kill like the BR with less auto aim, and bullet magnetism..

Even to today... Halo 1 still seems way more balanced in gameplay, and in weapons than Halo 2..

But I haven't seen any gameplay from Halo 3.. so i can't fret right now.. But I'm also not going to be getting my hopes up on Halo 3 like i did with Halo 2.. because Halo 2 was such a huge let down to me.. Halo 3 can very well be the same thing.

FIrst off what is this auto aim? maby its cause of my lag (being from new zealand) no wonder i am getting my ass kicked. any way back to the subject i may have read into this wrong but it sounds like the new wepon what the call the spawn wepon or assult rifle what ever they called it, they way the wrote it sounds like its gana have a granade launcher attached to it? any body else get that impression? If it does im undecided on how this will effect the game.

Hmm, respawning explosive barrels? I like them just the way they are in Halo 2... but I guess having the option to make them respawn, could be fun. More areas for customisation is never a bad thing.

Hurry up with that podcast!

Yeah! i play halo 1 on either XBOX or PC more than halo 2 becasue everything is...better in H1 (except for the missing duelwielding and lovely warthog physics) i like the way halo 1 was put to gether far mor ethan halo 2. halo 1 felt like a game that you spent five years on. unlike HAlo 2, which you admitted to working primarily on after the E3 in that DVD that came with the limited edition. the two games are not similar inas many aspects as you claim. i saw a huge differance noveber 9 2004 between the games. (wait...that is when H2 came out right?)

also, this new...X button thing...i bet its taking that freaking plasma grenade off of you and shoving it up the original thrower's bum hole
