Bungie Weekly Update
Sketch reports back from Germany, where he's continuing our Halo 2 Vista Vistravaganza Week. We also chat in loose terms about Halo 3 graphics, but nothing to get too excited about, and apologies once more, for a horrible, horrible piece of art.
(Frank posted this one, not me, sorry if you were all wondering how I managed to do something cool.)

that just scares me, I hope they don't pull an unreal championship stunt!!
-
K is it just me or did anyone else notice he said third person mode?? Ha-ha. Joe Staten just dropped in a weapon that I pray will be included in the final game, but knowing my luck, won't. Right now, they're testing it for feasibility rather than balance. Joe insists on using it in the debug third person mode, because it's funnier. Of course, now it's annoying because he's running around the level destroying everything with it and he won't go to the next mission trigger.

Good Update, 1 thing about the update; WHO actually knows what he said in GERMAN. It WAS'NT what he said it meant. [Edited on 8/30/2006]

Average update, it's good to hear about how the graphics are coming. But i think i speak for everyone here when i ask, "When do we get to see new screen shots?!" By average, i mean that this update is following the same pattern as recent updates. [Edited on 8/30/2006]

Grunt Pic in 07 I know and theyll screw us and Halo 3 will come out in 08!!!!!!!!
-
what about destructable environments (i.e. blowing holes in the sides of Coag kind of Red Faction 2 style)... is there going to be any of that in this game?
-
great update and nice pic frankie

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Big Phil 90 -I bet the new weapon is a flame thrower because feasibility means difficult for the game to handle. I am guessing a flamethrower would be difficult to render to halo3's graphic level. Also it must be an explosive fiery weapon to destroy stuff easily like (cant think of his name) did. [/quote] A flamethrower would be stupid... Especially in Multiplayer, MCs armor is fire proof so flamethrowers would be useless. FRANKIE! WHERE IS PINKUHS MISTER CHIEF!!!??? DAMN!!!

is it just me, or does that picture look kinda like the Mister Chief?
-
that picture scared me!

Is it in the works for Bungie to release anything for the Xboxlive Arcade? Such as Bungie classics, Halo Zero, or a random Pirate RPG?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] portXI Hey Frankie can you tell us a date when you will show a Halo 2 screen shot instead of just saying "The environment is so beutiful even the place holders woohoo!" every week because that is all we realy care about. Thanks![/quote]hey man ur the only one wanting to see a Halo 2 screenshot, lol. because me and about a million other people already know what Halo 2 looks like. lol

I am guessing a flamethrower would be difficult to render to halo3's graphic level. Also it must be an explosive fiery weapon to destroy stuff easily like (cant think of his name) did. -it might also be the fuel rod cannon because they said they are testing the feasibility of it and last game they said it was not possible in multiplayer because it has difficult graphics. -Only other thing I can think of is a toned down gauss cannon because with it's shaking, bluring graphics it might be difficult to render.[/quote] I bet you 100% its a flamthrower that's why he says it might not make it in because they been trying to get it in every halo but it never works out.

Yes PAX was AWESOME especially with the frankinator there lol i was there all day saturday waitng for that blog.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ILoveHaloSoMuch Wow, good update, disturbing picture...[/quote] What are you talking about? The picture is hawt...

It actualy makes more sence than you would think. Just because the alliance was formed on delta halo dosnt exactly mean that the word travled that quickly to earth. Cause remember there werent any Jiralhanae on earth. And probably still arent...but just the same it would make more sence to still have to fight Sangheili and Unggoy since this is more of a end to all fights than anything else. What I most want to know is why they didnt mention the water from the 2005 Zelda Twilight Princess video...if that water stays thats the most beutiful water ive ever seen in a video game to date... The worst ive ever seen would have to be goldeneye on the nintendo 64 at the dam or caves. DMOC LINK [Edited on 8/27/2006]

I find it sad that we still have to fight Grunts. Whatever happened to the alliance formed at the end of
? And that German phrase actually means "Good-bye for now," if you didn't know. -
Very nice update, but I have one problem with it... WHERE IS SEXY MISTER CHEIF?!?! I was really looking forward to that after you mentioned it at the end of the last Weekly Update. -_-, My hopes and dreams are shattered. =D

nice-izzle

Hey Frankie can you tell us a date when you will show a Halo 2 screen shot instead of just saying "The environment is so beutiful even the place holders woohoo!" every week because that is all we realy care about. Thanks!

personally, i don't care what the water looks like, i just wanna run through it with my Warthog and watch it splash! a cool thing would be if the tires and sides of vehicles became shiny from being wet. i only care about interaction. in H1 on the silent cartogripher level, if you shot the water...uh...dirt spashed out! in halo 2 MP level Headlong...same thing. anyway, give me the water that can splash correctly, like when shot or has a gun, grenade or corpse flying into it.
-
Good news to hear that the game is coming along but I wanted to point out something if you have already checked it out. You mentined games with "stand-out" water effects but neglected one I think has captured the effect beautifully above water and amazingly below. The game is 'Just Cause'. Go parachute over the ocean and watch how it interacts with the clouds and sunlight and then dive in and see the luminocity of the sun beams lighting through the water and hitting the coral reef.

I know I may sond like a newb and I kinda am ( to Bungie.net not Halo) but what does vista mean? " Halo 2 vista?" What? Please help.
