Come because it's Friday, stay for the last handful of sentences.

Jamzoni has a good point. one fight (human covenant is over) but another (human flood) could have just begun
-
horrible update it is really hurting the forging groups that are keeping custom games alive by bumping maps that have been worked hard on and keeping those maps that have been not changed one bit. CHANGE IT BACK!!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TheCyberFreak [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RaGe of Tru7h If 2401 is a year , 2512332 hours = 290 days So 2401 - 290 = 2111 ??! [/quote]More like 286.79 years. Smuggler is one of the 3 new maps being prepared for release. [i]From the Weekly Update 5/23:[/i] Upon returning, Smuggler has become a picture perfect nearly majestic play space with sinister undertones. [b]Pristine construction is foiled by a staunch reminder of how often the best laid plans can fail. [/b] Sounds like a Forerunner containment facility that has been taken over by the Flood. Expect a mix of Forerunner architecture combined with Isolation like Flood infection terrain....286 years worth of infection. [/quote] Thanks for digging that up! Clearing the air about an ARG. With that being said, awesome update & hopefully we will get some campaign stuff or co-op stuff soon too, I mean Halo 3 still has 250 gamerpoints untapped! ;)

I built the group! [url=http://www.bungie.net/fanclub/200018/Group/GroupHome.aspx]the smuggler searchere[/url] we are dedicated to theories and clues about upcoming maps and games, and random things from the halo universe.

Strong words... Why ARE we all convinced... im quite worried now.. Im gonna go back to halo 1 and start again lol.. Just so I can see WTF ive missed. and ill read the books too.. Need something else to do than sit aorund worrying about exams and playing the xbox xD
-
Nice update ^^... WtF was the last bit about.. I got to that and started analysing four hundred different meanings to what that could've been about and i came to the conclusion that all of those four hundred reasons were [b]WRONG[/b]. So I came to a second conclusion. [b]I'VE MISSED SOMETHING?!?[/b] AND by the looks of it.. something big o.O

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?

that smuggler bit is creepy. lets make a group about it!
-
huh, back to halo 2... sounds like fun
-
Internet-emo-cut-cut FAQ... EW...stereotypes... *flicks fringe in Lukems's face* ( no really, I do have a fringe) Oh, and that Smuggler stuff was strange...Could it be that the flood are possibly coming back to kick ass? [Edited on 05.31.2008 5:50 PM PDT]

What was the Smuggler nonsense about?
-
the updates are better, but the bungie fav's are still, choosing one person at a time as it looks for somebody called Mr Vociferous is seen a lot on the fav's recently, i know that if everyone could send in there pictures into bungie fav's it would be chaos. But i have also noticed Mr Vociferous pictures has had some recon armour in them. So in this week's update says people don't get recon for being on the fav's, so this is my question, how did this person get recon? if they are a bungie staff member, sorry but come on give some other people a chance to get on the fav's. Most of the pictures on bungie fav's have only about a 4 star rating, but have an amazing amount of downloads, i do admit the elite killer was good, but i have a pic, over 100 downloads now and has a 5 star rating, im not advertising but its already on the files forum http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=20550993 but come on its funny, and people like funny, not people showing off to people what they will never get (recon if you were thinking) so if you have read all this, what do you think?
-
Alex Pfeiffer, you have an excellent taste in games. Total Annihilation and Half-Life 2 are the games I would consider the gold standards for their genres. Sorry Bungie, the Halo series are an amazing part of the FPS genre. But Half-Life 2 is the best of the best.
-
1. Nice update. 2. Welcome to Bungie Alex, TA's awesome! 3. What was that part, "The Smuggler", all about? Are you guys making a remake of the Halo 2 map Containment? Because that talk about the containment area, 2401 Penitent Tagent, and the hostile species did remind me of it since it had the wall containing the Flood.
-
Either smuggler is a hint at a new map. Or a hint at what will be post Halo 3. Flood somehow escapes from Installation 04 via slipspace, after it was fired in Halo 3.
-
I really want to know about this smuggler bit.

Most of the forum users don't bother to read the updates, just like they don't bother to read things like "forum rules". If any of them read this week's update and see "Purple Reign" and "Midship" in the same sentence, you already know what is going to happen, regardless of the phrase that followed it. Chilluns is stoopid. All Hail Bungie.
-
Mysterious hints on the latest map. Too bad that we aren't seeing Midship again, it was one of my favourites from Halo 2. Still, the next batch of maps are looking more and more interesting. If the last map pack was any indication, we're in for another treat with the Mythic Pack. [i] Papa John [/i]

Smuggler is probably relevant to one of the new maps, takes place on installation 04, with a little bit of flood and forerunner sprinkled in for aesthetic value. [Edited on 05.31.2008 12:37 PM PDT]

Bungie Favorites was files that Bungie thought was worth sharing. They are doing that still, just by letting groups choose stuff they like. It still goes through Bungie. What the hell is wrong with that?

harsh man, harsh

Interesting update. Mildly confused member is mildly confused. Is Smuggler bit code for me to decipher? What does it mean? What's going on here? Aaahhhhhhhh... [quote][b]Posted by[/b]: p1nk soup [quote]Posted by: YKantBobReed I have been fairly vocal about this issue in the past, and for some time thought that the most recent update would do something for me, but then it came out, didn't do anything, and so for a time I resigned to the idea that I would never have helmet that I want. Now I have re-committed myself to the... commitment... that I made this one time. Anyway, I have no achievement for "Basic training" despite the fact that I have the "Graduate" pin (which doesn't mean that I had an affair with a married woman, or that I had a fantastic DP). The helmet associated with this is also not available to me, and OMG it's totally my favorite helmet. I'm still open to doing a bunch of work to make this happen, because I'm a huge Halo fanboy (which is okay, because I don't sound crazy, like PS3 fanboys), and ICanHazWhutEvrThuNameUvThuHelmutIzThatIeDiduntGetUnlocked. Please? End my suffering (by not killing me)? Ohh and BTW, thank god that Frankie guy is gone, he was a bag of skuhdoosh. Luke, I know that you will be everything he wasn't, like help me fix my helmet. Right... ?[/quote] theres a special cornor of hell reserved just for you.[/quote] Ya there really is though. And skudoosh? What are you 10, and you just got to see that panda kung foo movie? Cuz thats the only time I've ever heard that childish word, and I heard it in the trailer for that movie, which was a waste of 5 minutes of my life. Skudoosh, sounds like a childs attempt to make the other word that's close to that, their own. [Edited on 05.31.2008 11:09 AM PDT]

Smuggler: I don't think it means what we think it means.
-
So... I'm confused. Oh well. People seriously whined about the drop of 0.4%? What the hell? It seems people look for things to complain about... And seriously guys, the Bungie Favorites really suck now that you allowed other groups to take over. They are putting their worthless crap up there in hopes of getting alot of downloads. It's really lame. That Smuggler thing simply looks like the report of the flood breach in installation 05. And 2401 Penitent Tangent is being too lazy to fix it all these years. He's probably rampant. Hell, I don't blame him. Stuck on a ring with nobody to talk to for countless years. That's sure to drive anyone mad. But I wonder if it's from the first flood breach. When the first reclaimer tried to take care of business, but failed. Edit: Maybe it is? The hourly report states that the unidentified lifeforms entered via slip-space only 300 years after the Flood breach. Now I'm sure that the Forerunners where gone for alot more then 300 years before the Humans decided to screw around on any of the Installations. Hell if I know. You fellas at Bungie love to screw with us. [Edited on 05.31.2008 10:26 AM PDT]
