Bungie Weekly Update
Hey! It's the Bungie Weekly Update, this time with 40% less preachiness! A few tidbits about the game, the movie, PAX and the next Halo novel, but nothing to tell your grandchildren about when you grow old. So don't get too excited.
-

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MagicMan [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] c0mfor7a31y_Num3 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] StaticWolf ZOMBIES!!! WWUD There's also some very nicely finished trees in one of my favorite mid-sized levels, complete with the now obligatory tree animation. It's one of those levels where you look around and say, "Hey, this would be a nice spot to picnic," but then somebody blasts you from a Banshee. It's also one of the favorite levels for one of our new gametypes, thanks to its obvious defensible positions and creepy, narrow hallways..... Sounds like a very good map.... Also, the gametype sounds like ZOMBIES!!!! [/quote] I see alot of this confusion in many of the posts. I believe the game type that frankie is talking about is entirely different from the "Classic Map" that he has described. Sounds like a Bungie flipflop to me to confuse some of us in guessing what will become of his statements. Yes, the Gametype sounds like "Zombies" however, Zombies would not fit into the play structure of the New "Classic Map" he describes. Do you picnic on Zombies? I don't think so. be carefull fellas. Read what Frankie is writing and not what he appears to be writing. Bungie and Frankie are infamous of this. Don't confuse the gametype in conjunction with the " classic map". This is only some logical advice to spontaneous posting and the people who actually don't really read the updates.[/quote] he just said that you coul.d hav a picnic on da map but not a picnic on da map while playing his favorit gametype on that map [/quote] I'm pretty sure by "Picnic" Frankie means "Camping" or as others call it "Tea Bagging". Have you ever actually "Camped Out" with other players on the maps with tents BBQ's and Marshmallows, etc? Or Even Ever actually "Bagged Tea" in any game type or map? I'm just Saying, whatch what you read. Having a "Picnic" on this new map and or Gametype I'm sure is just one of Frankies figures of speach. Like I Said before, Bungie is Notorious for Information like this. Sory, I think you mean the same thing I do (now that I read it four times....hehe.) This is why I edited the post to tell you this. It could be a good map to "picnic" on for one gametype, but not for another. I think that is what you are trying to say? Peace, Jake [Edited on 8/10/2006]

Great update Frankie. I printed out a copy of it and put it in my scrapbook. As I feel certain that I'll enjoy sharing this with my grandchildren someday.
-
I really like the fact you are making sure the game looks good on all tvs(I dont have HD)Thanks Bungie!
-
Great update... I agree with the guys though, we need some new screenshots or new trailers... I would settle for just one picture... PLEASE! Also, just though I'd say that just because you have an HDTV, it doesnt mean you're rich (as said in the article), it could mean ur a kid with a job and no bills (ME!). Also, at the same time... I'd like to brag... I HAVE a 57" SONY L.C.O.S. 1080p HDTV!!!!!!!... My lord it took me 6 months to save for it so I like to brag... :P
-
In case nobody's saw fit to point it out yet... Bungie, the MC Escher reference is much appreciated. ;)
-
this week was ok but i think it could have been better, but i cant wait for next weeks story
-
And another thing. I want to know whats UP WITH THE HALO ORIGINAL ASSALT RIFEL I STILL WANT THE BATTLE RIFLE
-
Im gonna get an X-box 360 and I need to know what are the absoloute requirements! I have a 42" Plasma screen tv what else do i need!?
-

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Talmaximus Frankie, The following linked article was written by John C. Dvorak, detailing how 'posers' and 'pranks' have ruined many online communities. I bring it up because of how my Halo 2 online experiences have significantly persuaded me not to play online multiplayer games of Halo 2 for the forseeable future (which is a stupid phrase 'forseeable future' but I think you get the point). It is very rare for me to play against guys that are not constantly yelling or screaming obscenities into their headsets just for the sake of being annoying. I'd gladly mute them but you can't do that during an actual game. It is too easy to get an account on Xbox Live and it is too difficult to stop behavior of this type from happening through the Live feedback system. I hope to see a viable solutions someday, and a Bungie-governed community would be great for starters. On sites like Digg.com a member can report 'trolls' or 'flamers' and those articles or comments are demoted. This has an actual effect on whether or not the negative contributions are seen or heard. I think the ability to speak through the Xbox communicator is a privalege and it should be temporarily removed or something when the option is abused. I am aware of what I risk exposing myself to when stepping out into an online community but I have had plenty of better experiences than this. I also don't believe that Xbox Live members should be paying for a service that results in constant verbal assaults. It's a shame that one of the most enjoyable aspects of Halo has been turned into a place where a leisurely gamer cannot hope to have an enjoyable time without having to deal with people who seem to get pleasure out of being annoying. Thanks. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2000353,00.asp Tal[/quote] I think u r eather very unlucky or very whiney because i have none of those problems. On matchmaking u dont hear any1 half da time, and in custom matches if sum1 is being annoying ask the leader 2 boot them, or mute them urself. Every 1nce and a while i get sum1 who is a jerk, and if they get too annoying just report them. I think u r making a big deal about a problem none the less, but one that u can probably solve urself.

Just last week I was chatting with some guys from WetaDigital. They said they are still waiting for the green light to work on the Halo movie. Right now they are doing mostly prep work for Halo and they are in the process of working on another movie.

I have a feeling the multiplayer map with the sunset is going to be Zanzibar. It probably will, it's a good map.

It's time for. . . the Halo theme song. Don da da don don. . . maybe later. Total coolness can't wait to hear about the movie. It's a good thing information is coming slowly or my brain would go on over kill. All that information at once would just fry my inner structure. With all the high tech that is going to be in Halo3 and super dooper soldiers and the weapons and lets not forget about the enemies. I bet theres so much coolness coming that it will give some one a brain attack. Ahh! just can't wait but thats what we must do in order to receave all the brain blasting that we must get. I don't get the tree thing just um. . . yea. . . don't know what the big news was on that. I wonder if will see some animals in the game like some real futuristic like stuff. Anyway just can't wait and real good read that was. [Edited on 8/7/2006]
