The Bungie Weekly Update
It was about time we answered some of your mailbag questions, so we did. There's a tiny update on the state of the Podcast and our cowbell-filled theme song. We also chat a wee bit about the Warthog, or more properly, about some of the new AI creeping into Halo 3.
-
I alwas had the idea of honking the hornes and marines come running... mabey instead of making the marine gunners dumber...you can make the enemies strogner...or smarter (i can't make an educated guess about smarter unless I saw how they acted)
-
Moreeeee I Hunger Foorr Moree.. anyways the A.I sounds good enough for me heh. But i've got a question which most people are dying to have answered..will there be anymore trailers or previews released??
-
yes improved AI!!! using the warthog with marines in the passenger and gunner seats on legendary was like running around unarmed doing cartwheels in front of the covenant, so THANKS bungie!!! [Edited on 9/16/2006]

Hahahahaha! Mister O'Connor is a short angry bald man. That amuses me to no end. Thanks for that Frankie. ;) ALSO: YOU should DEFINNITELY get the wheels in motion to make sure there is a WHOLE PACK of MISTER CHIEF gamerpics for sale on the xbox live marketplace once Halo 3 comes out. I would pay 1600pts for a pack of 6 awesomely made Mister Chief gamerpics, but everyone else would moan and groan that they should be cheaper so maybe they shouldnt be 1600 pts, lol... Anyway, PLEASE MAKE SURE WE GET MISTER CHIEF GAMERPICS!!! Thanks Frankie, you rock.
-
Now THAT is what i call an update... not too much info, not too little. Just enough to get me excited about a few things. I really hope there are some new Halo2 maps released, even if its only 1 or 2 new maps. That was an awesome update!
-
*chuckles* 'controversial button layout'? I think I know exactly what it will be. Oh and the warthog stuff was cool as well. Can't wait to see it in action.
-
How has the testing for SWAT being ranked.

Hey, Frankie. I'm gonna start kissing some major ass right now. Here I go. Halo IS my life now, I lie awake at night about it; wondering what the release dates for all the stuff will be. Did you guys know that on bestbuy.com, they say Halo 3 ships on september... of 2010. :O That was my reaction. Don't worry, I didn't believe the heresy and lies. On a different subject, when I heard that the Halo movie is schedule to release in summer of 2008, that wasn't good for my blood-pressure, bro. Puh-LEEEAAAZZZZEEE tell me that there is a chance of it being pushed forward, just a little... by like... One year? This is a long post in case you hadn't noticed, which I'm sure you have. When can we expect that juicy, wriggling teaser trailer for the movie? And on a "No BS" iterjection, I'm getting into acting and it's going slow. So I was wondering if you could get your casting director to call me. Because I haven't seen any way to get into it from Bnet.......... How desperate am I sounding right now? FRANKIE! STOP PUTTING CRACK IN THE GAMES!! *sobtwitchsob*

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Achronos Note to all people who number your posts - you better say something in your post. People who don't tend to get banned for spam.[/quote] Amen Senior Achronos, On a happier note.... [b]"[i]Amazingly happy that the book is coming out, but will William C. Dietz be writing any more Halo books too?[/i] Although William is an amazing writer, he’s not currently signed up to work on any Halo fiction. Currently" [/b] ...makes me really happy...he's not as good a storyteller as Nylund.

ummm frank are you sure the "scar" is a crack in the ground or part of the outline on the chief's visor?
-
Those Highschool kids effin RULE! We finally got some Halo movie news too! (AICN)
-
Nobody will probably care all too much, but I thought that I'd point out some misinformation/ add some information regarding Bungie's history of the term "Fifth Column". In short, they are missing the fact that the term was first used in the Russian Civil War of 1917-1922, by Leon Trotsky (Commander of the Red Army) to describe what would become the Fifth Army.

Posted: 9/15/2006 5:47 PM It looks like my dreams are coming true regarding the 360 controller. If they put melee on the right bumper, imagine how easy it would be to hit someone, since you wouldn't have to stop aiming to hit B anymore. I guess this would work for me. Swap it with the nade switch button so I wouldn't have to move my fingers around all goofy to switch nades up while having the PP charged up. other than that everything seems fine.

Lol the pic of frankie looked like something off of south park...cool
-

Really happy that you answered my question! Although i am sad to hear that Dietz isn't sighned to you guys at the moment, I really hope he does do another book. Also the AI update is awsome glad to hear there is gonna be some intense battles coming. [Edited on 9/15/2006]

Hey, that was a pretty nice update. I have always been pissed off at the way that the Marines Al handled themselves during battle. It was about time that you guys gave us an update worth of our attention. It wa nice and all , but we have an UNCONTROLABLE HUNGER for juicy info. By the way,,,,,,,,if your going to bring back the original controlers, or just modify the current ones, can you make sure to add once again the Flaslight for multiplayer mode? [Edited on 9/15/2006]

Wow! that high school band doing the Halo theme was awesome! Those guys were good and the chick on the violin was incredible. You can influence the AI in Halo 3?! Thats will be sweet.
-
Great update yet again! Thanks alot Frankie! You and your Weekly updates always end my fridays with a bang! :)

-
Huzzah for updates, updates answering questions, and questions being answered whether or not it's about the font size on a website.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] el rey On the new maps front I think that we could use some new maps. My suggestion is to release the maps from halo CE (except for those that were re-done, not including sidewinder). I don't think upgrading the graphics is even essential. Just put the new weapons on the maps.[/quote] There's many things that won't work with the Halo 2 engine and Halo: CE maps. Sidewinder is a great map, but its teleporters would be camper city for those on Live and Hang 'Em High is a good map, but without fall damage, it's not so great.
-
Grr, I hate you! You get to laugh in our faces as we sit here wondering what Halo 3 could be like, and you're sitting there seeing it all unfold before your eyes!!! Can we at least get some pics? Oh btw thanks for the gunner info.
-
wow that school orchestra was pretty good actually really good di you notice the sweet paintball masks lol
