i really hope that thats not going to be sand box because i was hoping for a flat forging map instead of another sandbox
-
Great update Bungie! I wonder how close Luke's drawing is to the actual map?
-
Oooh. I enjoyed this update greatly. Any chance we might be seeing a wallpaper version of Luke's fine masterpiece?
-
I was laughing so hard at the Brute Pimp Achievements! You need to keep the Brute Pimps. Just give them a lot of armor and health. Or at least make a cutscene with a Brute Pimp smacking someone around!
-
The opening sequence of ODST is the most spectacular cinematic event in any Halo game to date. Bold statement for sure!There has been a lot of fantastic cut scenes in the HALO series. If that statement is true then I will have my sunglasses on hand, a cut scene of that epicness could fry my eyeballs making me unable to enjoy the rest of the game ; -) Cheers!
-
Damn, I got excited with the possibility of a Brute Pimp in the game. Well at least when the game is released I can pretend I'm fightin' a pimp every once and a while, without the pimp slap, of course. I think you guys should some how keep that bug as an easter egg somewhere in the game.
-
If the illustration of Sandbox is any accurate at all, it doesn't look very flat. In fact, it just looks like a picture of Sandtrap...
-
I love this update. It was a nice, long read. Just when I thought it was over, I scroll down and *gasp* there was more! :) I am now extremely interusted about the glowing object in the distant. I really can't wait to find out what that is.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ChadxVader Keep ypur pimphand strong.[/quote] Seems like the Brutes have more personality now. It also seems like players will freeze in terror rather than feel glee at the sight of the Brutes (and their grenade launchers) in "Ahdst"...

o.O The pimpin' Brute could have been...the best...easter egg...in the history of Halo...or of video games...of all time...ever =]

that sketch is so definitely Ascension

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] urk Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy... ...and neither is sifting through and sorting out bugs to bring you a bulletproof build of Halo 3: ODST. Don't worry, with each new iteration, we're one step closer to a zero bug release. But one bug we experienced in playtest this week is just too damn funny to keep within the confines of the studio. It seems that every so often, Brute Chieftains – the biggest, baddest Brutes of the bunch - will inexplicably* load out sans their trusty weapon. No Brute Hammer. No Fuel Rod Cannon. Nothing. So what does the master of the pack do when he finds himself without any gear with which to deal out deadly damage and pain? He struts. It’s really quite comical to see a Brute Chieftain calmly descending upon your position, arms down at his side, his stride full of pride and urban swagger. Until he gets within arms reach, that is. Then, like any good pimp, he makes it his business to showcase just how strong his pimphand is. And strong it is. Many an ODST have quickly changed their tune from one of jovial laughter and sonorous disbelief to the blood-curdling shrieks and screams of a soldier on his last legs once a weaponless Chieftain decides it’s time to illustrate the full power of his fully operational backhand ability. . . . *By "inexplicably" we mean that we're well aware of the why and the how, it's already fixed, and sadly, the Brute Pimp Chieftain will soon be nothing more than a fond memory.[/quote] On that note... I hope you got a video of that. If you don't include an Easter egg of a dead brute with a purple pimp hat next to it... I will be quite diaapointed. [i]That jack is GOLD YO![/i]
-
Oh man, that last bit TOTALLY should have been a news item. :)
-
finally, a substantive update! Recon sounds Awesome. Fall '09 will rock, heretic and recon :)
-
More bunghey bull-blam!- congratulations on your fail!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b]urk [quote]Posted by: Acclaim So if I went over to Jerome and somehow disarmed him (lure him with a cupcake), he would start to strut? Or does he already strut?[/quote] He does. And he doesn't need a weapon. Dude fought a bear with his bare hands.[/quote] One podcast to rule them all. So cash. [Edited on 01.16.2009 7:37 PM PST]

Keep ypur pimphand strong.

I can relate to the nervousness of releasing your children for the world to see, being an animator. That picture was fantastic, though it was even more indistinguishable than the last sketch. But thats how its gotta be... Also, because I like to view the voice of the people from time to time... [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Malice514 Man you guys really now how to milk your audience. It's ridiculous that you would only include maps for Halo 3 on another separate project, Halo Wars (and of course it's the more expensive Limited Edition that you have to buy). I am starting to think you guys don't care about making games at all anymore, since all you do is capitalize on recent renditions of Halo, and let marketing dictate the gameplay (READ: make a solid game with all the maps it should need or make another game. Don't keep pedaling out maps and features that should have been included in original release or you guys look like con-artists and money grubbing clowns, which you do...[/quote] Do you even know who's making Halo Wars? I'll give you a hint: its not Bungie. Get educated. And money grabbing clowns? Sounds neat! Hire this person, he is full of imagination and win. [Edited on 01.16.2009 7:25 PM PST]

Hate ef-blam!- microsoft... I hope bungie won't force us to buy halo wars by making playlist require mythic map pack while its not available on marketplace.
-
oh ok i get it now, we have to either spend near $100 for the map pack or wait for it to come out for who knows how long, and still have to spend money on it? great news
-
ah I had forgotten the usual Bungie wordcraft its been long and I demand u guys keep those achievements

[i]I remember back in Halo 2 I would be without a banshee on the scarab in the last level. Banshees would aimlessly fly in circles over my head, just waiting for me to sky-jack their asses. Once you did that and you were either close enough to the ground or the scarabs surface, the brute pilot would fall out unarmed and stand still. Sometimes if you got too close to them they did the Pimp Strut towards you but they werent bad ass enough to pimp slap you. I called them brute pimps. Oh the exciting days waiting for Halo 3 spent beating Halo 2's Campaign over and over again. I get the same amount of joy from Halo 3's Campaign.[/i] [b]Well Done Bungie<3[/b] [Edited on 01.16.2009 6:53 PM PST]

China called and they liked the wall for an update.I was really happy to see so much content all at once,as well as just the amount of amazing things contained in it. And with that,let the H3F go wild. P.S. when is the update for "Pimps at sea" coming out? [Edited on 01.16.2009 6:21 PM PST]
