(10:19:49 PM) Scruss: oh and pezza, i saw what you did to that cat
(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

Awesome, my mouth is already beginning to water. I hope we get to see some of these enviroments soon.

Warthog Bumper Sticker Quotes:
"My driver is underaged, a menace to society, and I have no RB to eject!"

"I know what your thinking, and no I dont use Viagra."

"Bigger, IS Better."

"I have no mirrors on this baby because if i did, i would crash from looking at my sexy-self too much."

"This bumber sticker is a sorry excuse for you to look at my tailpipe."

so im wondering, if everyone has rockets and shoots at water can we make a once old stream, a newly formed trench?

WHERES THE PODCAST??????

  • 01.12.2007 8:59 PM PDT

I just hope all that "pretty" does not come at the cost of gameplay like it did in H2 Legendary where MC was nerfed instead of providing more enemies.

Please change "Bungie Weekly Update" to "Frankies Personal Blog" and save us some time reading that stupid -blam!-

Reach!

Sounds to be shaping up quite well. I'm shure we will all be impressed at how realistic and interactive HALO 3 will be. I hope Mancannon is renamed, not because I am a -blam!--phobe or anything just sounds a little unprofessional. I'm shure Bungie knows this and is using MANCANNON in a sweet playful hummor, only people of their ilk would apreciate the phalic references!!! LOL!!! Thanks for an update with more than just how much fun you've been having playing HALO 3.... it's nice to hear what we have in store.

What hope has this alliance if we cannot conquer doubt of faith
not each other-
If our belief should falter?
But put an ear to the stones of this holy city
Inside there voices echo still:
"Seven rings begin the journey!"

oooo it gave me goose bumps! i cant wait for the game!!!!!

If you didn't want to read that, you should've stopped your buddies from whining about the "bad" graphics a few months ago...

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

GO SEAHAWKS

AWESOME UPDATE, lets see some pics of this new foliage.
the grunt said "fightin at sea" does this hint at anything about playing grunts in mp "pimps at sea" or at least having a few random grunts on the map that run around and get their asses pwned.

I actually enjoy reading about what Halo 3 looks like more then seeing it. The way Frankie describes the fog and how it adds to the scenery paints images in my head. Not disappointing ones either.

I really liked this short update.

I thought Haiku's were 5-7-5 not 5-6-7 (in terms of syllables per line).

Its about time that when you shoot a rock it will explode. But, will the Energy Sword make a cut in the enemys body?

A witty signature you say ! ? well at the moment i have nothing witty that springs to mind, so sory..................nope still nothing.......

Awsome update, sounds like everything is coming together nicely, really looking foward to seeing the new in game assets and environment detail you people have added, I wish I was there to see all the new builds and developments and to see the game take shape into the final product. It will also be cool to see what your artist's have done with the water effets and draw distance inhasments, It must be fantastic to have some serious harware that can really pull of the sort of vision you guys have had for the halo series after bieng a bit constrained by the previous generation. Joe's Grunt outtakes remain as legendery as ever,lol very funny voise clip. Still don't know how he pulls that voise off, is it helum ? or just a very rare vocal talent. cheers Frankie

You misunderstand. In every Halo 3 screenshot, there have been no "decorators". These are the trees, rocks, shubs, moss, etc. that make a place look real. Don't confuse them with the texture of the ground (the "painted on" look of the ground you've seened in the alpha screenshots).

Basically - the update explained one of the reasons why some of the screenshots you've seen so far look a little "barren"... the thing that makes them not barren hasn't been enabled before now. That, and the lighting wasn't final, the atmospherics weren't there, the sky wasn't really there, etc.

i hear in the update the grass looks photorealistic but thats the prob it should look like actual grass not a photo of grass layed out on the floor


Plus the water, don't forget franky's water lol. So from what i've understood from what you have said, it they add foam on the water or some seaweed those are decorators. Oh.. also i think that if there's going to be moss in halo 3 it would also be cool for there to be plants such as thistles and blackberries; that would be totally cool.
