what's it like being called the "content monkey"?

And with effects like that, it might be fun just to play with grass.

It's nice to see that you haven't mentioned Halo 2 Vista since, what, November? Yeah, you guys are really dedicated to this port. So I guess we should think that it's going to end up like Halo 1 PC then?

Since gears should be the benchmark for things to come.. lets do a graphics comparison on the main character..


First Fenix


Final Fenix

Needless to say.. things are going to be MUCH better looking come november.

The 360 has the best lighting effects out there.. expect bungie to utilize this to the max.

Grass that casts shadows ant cheap, I do know that. So the final quality might be barely noticeable.

But I'll probably buy a 360 an play Halo3 just for the Grunty dialog.

wonder if they will put a Food-nipple easter-egg in the game

short but sweet update. this should shut the mouths of people who were saying the first multiplayer screens look like halo 2 and so on. since it shows bungie are doing more lots more and everything.
bungie could you please give some sort of example to what you mean when a section looks good enough to show?

oh come on ! halo 3 is oviously the main big thing in the updates at the moment as it's bungies new project. Im sure thay are going to let you in on more information on the vista port soon, Bungie are prohably thin on info from the developers porting it at the moment maybe due to microsoft asking them to be tight liped, remember this is bieng developed by a hired companey by microsoft and is overseen by bungie. oviously halo 3 is going to be the main focus for the time bieng, just becuse you havent herd much updates on halo 2 for vista recently doesent mean it will be a pore port, from what weve seen and herd so far does it really look like bungie don't care ? I mean you have a map editer improved visuels a great online set up, it's all designed to take advantage of the pc. Bungie wan't halo 2 to be just as good on PC as it was on the xbox.

edit: woops sory forgot to quote the guy complaing about the fact that he had not had any info on the halo 2 for vista port,lol

This is getting very strange...... I missed the update on Friday and forgot yesterday. I haven't even been on Bungie.net lately.

I had a dream about grass in games, particularly Halo 3. I was wondering if Bungie could perfect virtual grass... They are already perfecting water. It is very scary because all the things I was asking myself was in this update. It scares me a lot!

I had another dream about 4 days ago. It was a test match with me and someone else. After the match was going on, I noticed that I could move the camera at different angles. I moved it away from the spartan. The model of the spartan had Mark V armor on. I really hope the first dream is true. *Crosses Fingers*
