Bungie Weekly Update: 5/30/08
Come because it's Friday, stay for the last handful of sentences.
[url=/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13931] click for full story [/url]
-
but make sure you've beaten halo 3 legendary first! solo if you have the cohones..
-
if you haven't yet read ascendant justice's piece on shield worlds you absolutely need to. it's rivetting.
-
Man, just the slightest sugestion of an ARG and the hype machine building for a new game and people are allready chomping at the bit. I'll go ahead and say it, I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see if there is any more to come, or if it was simply for a new map. I can't wait to see what Bungie is cooking up.
-
Guys look closely, it was almost 287 years from the containment failure to the security breach.
-
Interesting last few sentences... I wonder why they would bring back up Penitent Tangent so much later?
-
Hey, I was just wondering if we could get an explanation of why Bungie wanted to reduce the BR starts on just those maps and not other ones. Or, why Bungie decided to reduce the BR starts at all. Not that I'm gonna go all sepukuu cuz of 0.4%, I just wanted to know. And I appreciated the Penitent Tangent bit at the end.
-
I Think that favorites are fine, because if they made great material, they deserve to be on Favs. It's not that some other material isn't good, but that others are better. -TNgo
-
Nice update, good to hear about the BR, and as for Smuggler, well that's gonna be exciting! Found this on [url=http://http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/2401_Penitent_Tangent]Penitent Tangent[/url]. Oh and Bojohn141, you really need to chill out, dude. [Edited on 06.02.2008 6:43 AM PDT]

Or that it's just Not over yet. Of course there's the faith of the Spartans but of course, rest assured there's living flood elsewhere. On Delta Halo, i it's sure then there's the possibility there were covenant ships docked with High Charity that were infected and sent on infection missions... if you read the Halo 3 special booklet. They say the covenant Society Holds billions of units. We know that there were atleast 2 cities like High Charity and that the covenant still uses planets for the grunts and such...so if this is right, the Elite VS Covenant war has only begun with the demise of one of the million remaining prophets. None of course, as high as Truth Regret and Mercy but All prophets.
-
just a guess but the last paragraph might indicate a flood enviornment map (like the Cortana mission) in the upcoming Mythic Map Pack.

i need to know how to get on bungie favorites. I dont know if a lot of people have to rate your maps or just download it or even both, but what i need to know is if bungie already knows about the map once it is created. I need to know if bungie likes any of my maps or game variants so that i get on bungie favorites. I dont care if they give me recon or not, but i just want to get on bungie favorites. So PLEASE BUNGIE LOOK AT MY MAPS AND GAME VARIANTS AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK. PLEASE. PLEASE. I really want to be on bungie favorites. My account on xboxlive is Bojohn141 and my bungie account is Bojohn141. So please send me a message back for any information. ANY INFORMATION PLEASE!! [Edited on 06.01.2008 8:56 PM PDT]

Exlent update, though with the smugler bit... Well heres my decryption of it.. it was talking about the infection of Delta Halo- and by that I mean when Delta Halo first became infected(whenever that was) and Pentinent was [apparently] quickly captured. and was unable to iniciate quarantine procedures.
-
hmm 12135661098756231 lol respect, peace out zaeet
-
Weird update?
-
Wow my guess is you jumped onto the Halo bandwagon at Halo 3...

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] mchief111 My deciphering of the Smuggler bit: 2401 Penitent Tangent, at its last known location, was rampant, and in the clutches of the Gravemind. The destruction of Installation 04, as shown from 343 Guilty Spark's survival from Halo 1, would not be enough to destroy an important enough Forerunner artifact as a Monitor;[/quote]If you saw the after credits cutscene in Halo 3, Cortana said "Halo's firing did a number on the Ark". So while the large scale effect of a Halo is to kill sentient life, the firing probably affects all types of matter within the immediate vicinity.[quote] In the case of 2401 Penitent Tangent, it is probable that it's fate went along the same lines as Mendicant Bias. As Tangent wasn't as advanced as Bias, it didn't even take as long for Gravemind to convince it to join the Flood.[/quote]Only Mendicant Bias could be convinced. If you read the last Terminal on Legendary, Mendicant said it's greatest weakness was its capacity to choose. The Monitors are non-sapient AI. Even in its imprisonment, Penitent Tangent was still trying to accomplish its task of firing a Halo (watch the Halo 2 cutscenes again).

I didn't get the last part of the update... maybe it's because I don't know what "smuggler" is? Somebody mind explaining?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RaGe of Tru7h If 2401 is a year , 2512332 hours = 290 days So 2401 - 290 = 2111 ??! I hate these teasers[/quote] lol math. 2401 is the year like as in.... the year 2401 as in 393 years from now I liked the update, the new features on Bungie.net are nice, I'm not a huge proponent of the BR anyways, welcome Alex and yes TA ROCKS OUT LOUD. Interested to see what Smuggler is about, personally not ready for another ARG after all the sweat blood and tears of Iris for nothing in return. We'll just have to wait and find out

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] mchief111 My deciphering of the Smuggler bit: 2401 Penitent Tangent, at its last known location, was rampant, and in the clutches of the Gravemind. The destruction of Installation 04, as shown from 343 Guilty Spark's survival from Halo 1, would not be enough to destroy an important enough Forerunner artifact as a Monitor; and the lighting of a ring wouldn't even affect a non-sentient A.I. In Halo 2's ending, Delta Halo was never actually lit: it misfired, and nothing more was said about the Flood on it. Most people have completely forgotten or disregarded the fate of Delta Halo. However, what actually did happen to the Flood? It is ridiculously unlikely that they would send all their available ships to combat: they would most likely try to infect more beings. With control of High Charity, the Flood are undoubtedly left with unrestricted access to data banks containing the locations of all their planets. And the beings on them. In the case of 2401 Penitent Tangent, it is probable that it's fate went along the same lines as Mendicant Bias. As Tangent wasn't as advanced as Bias, it didn't even take as long for Gravemind to convince it to join the Flood. This leaves the Flood in a powerful position: in control of multiple Covenant forces (and a crashed human one), with a Forerunner installation, complete with its' Monitor. Why are you all convinced the Fight is Finished?[/quote] Someone finally gets to an interesting point. I doubt that when a compound mind finally forms (Gravemind) and with all of its memories seemingly intact, it decides that it'll concentrate all of its efforts on attacking Master Chief and the Arbiter. It has control of slip space technology. My guess is that the moment gravemind could, it began hurling flood pods in every direction of space possible, if not raining them down on covenant and human worlds with the data it collected from human and covenant ships. And btw, who has evidence that the arc was destroyed? When halos are lit, they only affect organic life. For all we know, the arc is still infected with flood, as well as delta halo and there are pieces from the halo 1 ring also floating around. Relating this to the update, I would like to think that the smuggler part may relate to a new map, but also to something else in the future. Good update!
-
...or it could just be a new map...but I like my theory more :P
-
I was thinking just that. The flood would still remain in control of Delta Halo, and even though the gravemind has been killed, surely another one could just form? The elites no longer have a large fleet defending Delta Halo, so it would be very easy for the Flood to be able to break out. Maybe there really is no way to stop the Flood except by lighting the rings, and people retreating to the Shield (which I am sure is what u see at the end of halo on legendary! Which also means next time we meet chief he could well just happen to bump into the other surviving spartans who are in the shield during these events (Ghosts of Onyx))...maybe this whole split from microsoft, and Frankie leaving to work directly with mgs is just trying to distract us that Bungie are still working on the next Halo game, I mean, they've done a pretty damn good job so far why would Microsoft move to else where now?
-
i know i didnt like this update and the recon helmet is funny looking
-
hopefully we can get pics of the new maps this month.
-
Jamzoni has a good point. one fight (human covenant is over) but another (human flood) could have just begun
