"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can't accept not trying." - M. Jordan

How about a new screenshot one of these days. Everyone waits all week just to get a picture, something nice to look at. That update seemed like an AD to promote that company.

This could have been one of those little news stories. This had nothing to do with Bungie. The guy you interviewed wasn't even from Bungie.

I was expecting some kind of...secret to be revealed like they mentioned in the initial summary on the home page. But they mentioned nothing of worth except how great it was to work with Bungie and Microsoft. Nothing new there, everyone says that.
Still, I liked the commercial, while nothing meaty for already established fans I think it does quite well to attract attention from non-gamers.

The only reason you think that one is better is because you did it yourself. They're both awful.

How many plumbers does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Three.

We still only have a "hint" at what the x button does. The picture caption wasn't definitive. Bungie won't just come out and tell us.

Has anyone seen the movie "Big Fish?" Well, in this one scene, Ewan MacGregor asks Danny DeVito the name of a girl he thought was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen. Danny DeVito doesn't accept, but Ewan MacGregor offers to work for him to earn the info. Danny DeVito then offers to tell him one thing about the girl for every month he works for him. At the end of the first month, Danny tells Ewan something like "She loves water lillies." At the end of the second month, he tells him something along the lines of "She attends college." Each month, Ewan is somehow miraculously sustained by these little bits of info whic really tell him nothing about the girl of his dreams, enduring Danny DeVito, who is hungry for devoted workers and also an insufferable tease.

Well, I'm no Ewan MacGregor. Bungie, please just tell us where the X button goes to college, before I go crazy and -SH-BLAM!- on your front porch.

p.s. The last comment serves as no indication of any intention in any fashion on the poster's part of bringing human defecation to the physical or any other offices of Bungie, the corporation responsible for Halo, Halo 2, and for the high-school-tease mystery that is Halo 3.

i completly agree with this guy :3 the shield grenade or bubble shield whatever its still a grenade like thing as its activated and thrown.
it would add more excitment and also less trying to run for tank blasts you could plant one and run as far as you can as a small hope in living, make things more stagegic instead of aim and shoot.
and plus use your heads, if you dont like um then im sure you could trn them off, you may be complaining now but just wait when they save your life in game. and you couldnt use them all the time it would be cheating. but ofcourse thats if it is in the game, running could possible be in it :3 which would make things more frantic or nerve wrecking trying to outrun a tank slowly coming over a hill
aye dont judge think of everything you could do. it will work, bungie know what there doing and this will just add more fun and frustration which is great :D

Um... you guys DO realise, that the shield grenade is in fact what will balance the spartan laser? The Spartan laser takes a few seconds to charge, before it completely destroys someone, in that time, you have jsut a few seconds to realise someones chargin' thar lazar at you, throw down the nade, and hope for the best. Also, since we'll have 2 frag nades, 2 plasma nades and 2 spike nades, woudlnt that mean that, most likely, your only going to be able to hold one shield nade at a time?
Say you see a team mate whos about to get 'lazowned', you can possibly save his ass with your nade, could be interesting gameplay. It wont be a 4 per person thing that will get raped and noobed all over the place. It'll be like 1 per person, or possibly, it even replaces the overshield.

I think its a smart move to balance out the new heavy weapon. Chances are the shield would only last a second or two. You may even be immobile while in the shield, a sitting duck for a moment, while people can coordinate, reload and plan an after attack on you. You certainly wont be able to shoot out of it.

I think its fine, please consider the most possible options before j00 noobs go blowing your cherries all over the place.

naa if that was the case then microsoft wouldnt bother trying to do so well in japan would they?
and hell who cares we have a better chance of getting on beta testing because theres at least 5 websites maybe more hosting comps for it, 5 in a 700 chance.
whereas they have a button and a 1 in 1000 chance per person
remember its probubly testing locally first, then wordly they must test the multiplayer at all diffrent angles.

Today a young man on acid realized that we are merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are one conciousness experiencing its self subjectively. Life is but a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.
Here's Tom with the weather...

I have to be honest... the bubble shield doesn't really interest me either.
Sure, it's interesting to use against a wraith blast but let's all be honest here... you're about to dust someone out with your BR and then the bubble shield pops up...

Wow.

I'm not trying to be a downer or anything... but that just sounds boring to me.

I know, I know... don't knock it till you try it... so I'll keep my hopes up that that X button will be used for combos like BXR or a BXB melee.

Some of this update was cool... but the best update of recent weeks.

Keep up the good work, Bungie.



Oh yes please, definitely keep BXR/BXB.............loser.

About skipping school at Halo 3 launch day
Posted by: RhythmKiller
Posted by: Krazy_J
I'm going to school because I plan on having a life...
Yeah, only nerds skip school. Oh wait...

Post #140, w00t!!!!eleven!!1one!!
Edit: Darn, senorhalo beat me to it. Oh well, #141 isn't that bad either.

This update wasn't very interesting, just a bunch of guys talking about how open and nice Bungie were when creating the Halo ad, and a little talk about how they created the ad which I don't care about at all.

I fall down. And broke my wookie!

You say there is no God. For your sake, I hope your right!!

Here's your precious secret.Maybe..just maybe if you guys and gals out there would actually read the whole thing WITH YOUR BRAIN, you can get what they are hinting at!Here let me help you.I guess if it does'nt come on a silver platter these days you wont eat.

"But the idea to show a young child and then jarringly switch to a battle weary soldier came from Tim Stier. By day he's an Art Director at McCann Worldgroup, SF, by night he's a Halo fanatic. We felt this "misdirect" would allow for people who had no idea who Master Chief was to be able to connect with a more human side of this war, and the Master Chief’s plight, while the Halo Nation would relish the idea of seeing what goes on in the heat of battle."

I aint spelling nothing out you for bratty lil kids!!!!

Thats Phase one of the SIGN-UPS. And if you had been paying attention, you would have realised that plenty of websites in Europe had been giving away beta places this week.

The actual beta will include everyone who got in worldwide from the start.

*sigh* If you don't know what it is, you really shouldn't be thinking about signing up.

beta

Its a testing stage. So they test the net code, the physics, the gameplay, the weapon balance etc. and people in the beta give their feedback on what they think would improve it, as well as passively sending data to Bungie while they play so that bungie can create statistics and such and judge how to alter the game.

and basically. you need an xbox 360, with harddrive, an xbl gold account, be over the age of 17 and then go ahead and put your details in at one of the websites that are offering places (legitimately) like Halo3.com and hope and pray you get in.
