Erm...i read up to the 4th page, and got tired of reading what ppl were saing.

First off, whats all this posting about MLG and how Bungie stole from MLG or something? I tried to find the start of this argument but couldn't -_-

Also...everyone stop saying "Way to go Bungie...scamming more money out of us" etc etc. Bungie is owned by Microsoft, so Microsoft makes 99% of all monetary decisions. Don't say you lost respect for Bungie since this WASN'T BUNGIES DECISION...

Anyway, can anyone plz answer the question above? I'd really like to know -_-

Halo in the 1950's
92% of teens moved on to rap music. If your part of the 8% that stayed with rock, rock hard my friend and put this in your sig

Wow, 5 of you guys missed my point in about 20 miutes. NEW RECORD FOR BUNGIE FORUM'S STUPIDITY!

YAY!!!!!


so whats ur point genius?


Not everybody can afford one and not everybody gets babied like -blam!-s during Christmas.



/BK


Point taken....but, I could never afford one either...i never played games my whole life except for pc...i always wanted an xbox...so when i got hired as a firefighter i started saving money. I had bills, rent, car, water, light etc.....I bought a GameStop re-loadable gift card and started loading it...b4 i knew it I had the $440 i needed to purchase an XBOX 360....I had an original....a halo edition to be exact. Since then...i work 2 jobs (fire/ems) now I have all this stuff....I work hard for 96 hours a week to afford the things ive got...I hardly get to play but when Im out of debt...ill be online constantly...Its not impossibly expensive...the PS3 is....but the 360 is not bad....it sucks to go thru dire straights...i been there....i was never spoiled and im not rich....I wish i was but i have a family to support....

Life is whate you make it.....if you see something you want...work hard and have patience, eventually, you will get it


It's going to be very hard for me too, but I am also speaking for others. I'll manage in a few months, maybe like 2 months after the release of the maps I'll have a 360, and maybe 5 months after that the maps and the hard drive.

But then halo3 will be coming out soo im going to have to wait on that one
=(


Oh well, I'm going to skip meals and yeah ride my bike more.


I just sincerely hope Bungie does not forget their fans.

I'm pumped about it and all, just slightly disappointed the news wasn't nearly as cool as "RELEASE DATE SET FOR MAY 1 2007!!!" or sometime closer than November of next year. How long can I hold my breath? 3 yrs between games is rough on a between-jobs terrorist like myself.

A large man

Sweet Update. Anyways is that the chiefs final look? or just one of the models? And i dont know if anyone noticed this but if you zoom on the chief's visor you can see whats in front of him.

Don't worry about the MLG stuff. It appears that either his post have been deleted by the mods or that he self imposed his edits. I'm unsure. It was a conversation between KittenKomando Sir Guze and I.

Amazing update! But I'm wondering a few things:

1. Will anyone with an Xbox 360 and Xbox Live be able to download the Halo 3 Beta Test?
2. Will the commercial and the other thing be shown on Bungie.net? Unless I misread the update, the second thing (forgot the name of it >.<) will be on the Live Marketplace, right? Well, considering I won't have a 360 until Christmas....I hope...will they be shown on here, or will I have to check out Youtube?
3. What is the power button for? Flashlight? Safety? Humor? :P

Again, great update, Bungie. Please, keep 'em coming!

Happy Halo day to all. Nice huge picture, and new maps and well, Halo 2 and 3 are getting big stuff over the course of the next year. Woohoo! Sadly, I'll need a 360. Which hopefully I can get for my Bday...

If there's one thing I have learned in working with you, it's that there is always margin for error.

yea, it definitely looks like there is another Spartan there, but then again they probably just took the pic from this other Spartan's viewpoint and it happened to be caught in the reflection on MC's visor.

I just studied the screenshot some more and have made a break thru on what it is.
1. It is a Girrafe blowing its nose.
2. Its the Flaming Ninja blowing out fire thru his nose.

  • 11.15.2006 2:14 PM PDT

Will is everything.

Thanks for the news Sketch! This is definitely some incredible stuff. I'm more excited than ever before about Halo in general. Happy Halo Day to everyone....go play some Halo to celebrate.

I said this earlier, - the power button was also there in Halo 1 - it is to turn on the flashlight.

Ok...I tried to have patience and read through all the comments before posting, but you guys make me sick to listen to all you so called "loyal" fans.

Microsoft owns Bungie.
People are "loyal" to Bungie.
Therefore using a sort of tweaked transitive property you have SOME loyalty to Microsoft.

My math may be off but thats wasn't even what I wanted to say, just thought I'd throw that our there for some food for thought.

People are claiming that Bungie releasing the New Maps for only 360 users is, horrible, sad, a bad decision, and a bad reflection on the company because of how the fan base was built.

My thoughts you what you think? Simple Minded and Ridiculous.

This is greatly infulenced by Microsoft I'm sure. Releasing maps to reinterest people in Halo 2 is huge, they know that, they know the Halo name is a huge money maker and use that to their advantage, as they should. If the new maps only release for 360, its guarentted At least 1 person will buy a 360 because of this, and thats half their battle, they hope that it influences at least 1 person this holiday season to purches a 360 instead of a PS3. And getting 1 person from this news is a success for them, because thats one more person buying a 360, its games, accesories and everything else including downloadable content, and them not buying the PS3 and spening money torwards that platform, because lets by honest, a select few of us can, want, or are able to purchase multiple platform's in this day in age.

My Question to is this: Why would Bungie (Microsoft) give new maps to those still using a xbox?

Not only are they not getting any money except for the purcheses of the maps, but it could possibly influence those considering to purches the 360 because they are 'bored' with Halo 2, not to because they know good stuff in the future will be coming and that they can 'make due' while they wait.

More people on 360= more new games being bought.

This is simply a great decsion, and I guarentee you that NO ONE will lose interest in Halo (As a whole) and further more, not buy Halo 3, because they were too cheap to buy a new system, which they would have to buy in the coming few months anyways for Halo 3, just because Microsoft out-smarted you.

As a long time Member here and for that matter a long time Halo fan, I'm dissapointed in some of you Halo loyal posers.

I'd be happy to defend my points if any one has any questions, I'll check back sooner or later.

I second that. I stand by M$, and i pretty much hate sony because all the games they've made in my lifetime have been one player. And someone will probably flame me for that, but who cares. Im not shucking out 600 dollars for a video game console. I could spend that on a new 8800gtx for my computer and get great graphics, and better online play with all the games. The fact is M$ has halo, and sony has what? metal gear solid? Thats a one player game, how about final fantasy 12, as far as i know it's one player as well. The only game ive ever enjoyed on a sony platform is GTA, and thats one player, plus they have it for xbox now too. Sony is going to loose the format war too, with their stupid blu-rays. And theres no way sony's online can beat xbox live.

I say it is a safety button, because the Master Chief, if nothing else, is a stickler for safety.
