I live in BC in Canada but we get the same weather as you guys and it's super hot and then more rain than is seen in Spring. Ah well, better than snow.

If the "Jackal" is a Jackal, then why the hell did it charge Buck? Did the guys who made ODST program new aggressions and confidence into them or do they just not like ODSTs and don't consider them a threat? I have all 3 Bungie-made Halo games and not once have I ever seen a Jackal rush a Marine. The one exception is the occasional stupid Jackal with his energy shield. The Marine in question decided to give him a mouthful of bullets. The Jackal in that video however was holding a Carbine. Therefore he has no shielding, no defense, and one ODST who doesn't like aliens. Why the hell would the Jackal charge?! Granted we always play as 7 or 8 foot tall super-strong soldiers but when a Marine gets close to a Jackal with a Carbine, they hold their ground and then cower and run away. Either way I'm glad to see some newfound confidence in the Covenant ranks, Tough Luck Skull or not. And as for getting our eyes checked, that video was very poor quality. So there!

-blam you - seattle people are not stupid. they don't feel the need to buy air conditioning because this the first time sense the 90's where it actually got to 100. and if you here people complaining it's because they're from out of state. Do you know how many people have moved here in the last 5 years. and you know what you're not helping so why don't you go back to where ever you're from.you know who are stupid? texans. most texans are ignorant and racist. go back there and have fun in your stupid god damn heat redneck.

Amen. The Weather sucks here every summer. Especially if you like lots of rain.

I like the update and I am very happy that our heat only lasted for two days. It got up to 104 here in Portland, OR. I am looking forward to getting my copy of ODST in Sept.
-
Awesome update bungie! Loved the Vidoc.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] odmichael Did I see a webmaster emblem for the ODST?[/quote] Oh yeah, nice find odmichael :D Hmm, I wonder what other emblems there are now? I'm going checking to see if I can find any more :D

"Preferably one covering grammar and punctuation." Corrected: Preferably, read a book that covers grammar and punctuation, you idiots.

Very nice update. If its way too hot and not raining enough over in the west try coming to the North East of the U.S. New England should definately have enough rain for you. Places such as New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and Vermont would be good choices.

[quote]"The reason? Seattle people are stupid." [/quote] I find this very rude Last June the highest temperature was 90 degrees F with an average of 67 degrees F Last July the highest temperature was 84 degrees F with an average of 75 degrees F Last August the highest temperature was 91 degrees F with an average of 76 degrees F This June high of 90 avg of 73 This July (with one day left) high of 105 avg of 81 (all temperatures according to wunderground.com based in Renton - was unable to find avg and highs for Seattle or Redmond but this should be within a couple of degrees) With weather trends like these there is little reason to buy air conditioning in Seattle. It would be like buying a car in New York or London, you could buy one and it would help you travel out of town but as long as you're in town there isn't too much of a point to have a car as long as you walk or use the subways. So CJ, please do your homework before insulting people. edit: mean't to say CJ sorry Urk, thanks Darth [Edited on 07.31.2009 1:55 PM PDT]

GOD DAMN IT. not first. again. jeez. sweet update, though. See you tonight for some fustomz
-
All the references to Seattle and grunge are going to cause me to go into a hair-metal frenzy! I will have to have a few cups of coffee first.
-
Really early update! Looks like you're drinking a lot of coffee, eh Urk? Staying up and posting? I used to live in Seattle. It is pretty much rain, coffee, grunge, and Frasier. I live in beloved Gig Harbor now, I guess that Frasier got to me. Or the coffee, or grunge... or rain. [Edited on 07.31.2009 12:07 PM PDT]

I too live around the Seattle area and it has been brutal this last week,wednesday was the worst hitting over 100 degrees. Alpha site looks great and naked Urk scares me but overall a decent update.
-
So...many...grunts! It almost makes me excited for ODST. :)
-
Great Update. Sucks to be you guys, I had a dusty weather today in my country and it was terrible.
-
Hmm, surprisingly early. I appreciated the better view of Alpha Site, looks like it's going to be one of my better-liked Firefight maps. I have a bit of a love for storyline, and being inside ONI is just [i]too[/i] badass. Also, weather sucks, my eyes are fine Bungie, if you like rain, move to Ohio, and woohoo banhammer.
-
haha the air conditioning part is so true! I just want to saty in like JCPennys or somewhere cause they have air conditioning!
-
Great update guys. -CB

For Carnage, Drop In! Thank you, Urk!
-
Can I just say on behalf of everyone in the UK - WE LOVE YOU URK <3

Stop stealing lines from Gregory House! Get your own! ;)

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] blackfox03 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Phoenix1330 PS. did you see this post has no incomplete sentences? I am quite proud of this fact, as I am terrible for breaking my writing up too much.[/quote] Unfortunately, you failed to capitalize the first word in your first sentence, and your second sentence fails to make any sense.[/quote] It makes perfect sense. i usually fragment my sentences. I. Like. The. Period. Key. Too. Much. As for the capitalization. Fix'd(I don't understand this contraction. it is still the same number of characters...)
