Bungie Weekly Update!
Hey I actually talk about the game in this one. In as much detail as I can get away with without being fired. Zomg! That is to say more detail than usual, but less than you want. Read it, absorb it like 2-ply bathroom tissue and enjoy it. Lots of new stuff coming up soon. You're going to like it.

OK. This may be a long shot but....... "A [i] far cry [/i] from the shiny default placeholder in the MP demo EGM played." As in a shoutout to Far Cry, another game with awesome water effects. Maybe not. Just throwing it out there. Anyway, great update.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] NZ knightmar FIrst off what is this auto aim? maby its cause of my lag (being from new zealand) no wonder i am getting my ass kicked. any way back to the subject i may have read into this wrong but it sounds like the new wepon what the call the spawn wepon or assult rifle what ever they called it, they way the wrote it sounds like its gana have a granade launcher attached to it? any body else get that impression? If it does im undecided on how this will effect the game.[/quote] Auto-aim is when the game automatically aims at/tracks targets that are close to the centre of the screen. The weapon is called the Assault Rifle. You've obviously gotten a little confused, "Spawn Weapon" is not the name of a gun... it means "the weapon that you spawn with". If you spawn with an Assault Rifle, then the Assault Rifle is your Spawn Weapon. Someone else did say that it sounded like you could fire grenades from the Assault Rifle. Maybe you should read the posts before you post?

I want to know what the hell is that scariest moment in Halo 3. I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
-
Hey, nice update. Any chance we will be seeing a H3 demo of some sorts on XBL?
-
Nice Update but one thing. The X button. I expect I will like what it does but I would perfer it to still be reload. So I hope you guys have a custom control layout feature in halo 3. SAS03

Long live the /\R!!!!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Ractrin: also, this new...X button thing...i bet its taking that freaking plasma grenade off of you and shoving it up the original thrower's bum hole[/quote] hey, I would like to be able to take a grenade off of myself and throw it at whoever threw it at me. That would be pretty cool. and, again, what an awesome update, real content from BUNGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *is happy now.*
-
Excellent Update! Can't wait ... I shall embrace "Gears" until you're arrival, Halo 3. Also, no mentioning of the "On hold" movie. hmmmmmmm.... maybe Frankie forgot. HAHA... or the movie news was one massive coverup started by the CIA --- *sniped by MGS/Bungie representative*
-
AR starts...sounds like another spray and pray. If anyone has ever played CE where everybody uses the AR it is an extreme waste of time. As far as Im concerened you just cant beat H1

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] c0mfor7a31y_Num3 Frankie, please don't take this personally and if you do, then I guess im screwed? You said in the Update that Halo 3 feels Like Halo, and that Halo 2 players were able to pick the game up and were basically doing everything as far as skill level the same as Halo 2. What about Halo: CE Players? Now what gets me is does the game feel like Halo? or does it feel like Halo 2? Unfortunately,My friends and I have played both games ALOT, Halo ALOT more than Halo 2. We have come to the conclusion that the TWO games have absolutely NOTHING in common, and the feel between the TWO games are almost opposite. So I'm asking if you could please try and be fair and let us know what you mean? I mean It's impossible for Halo 3 to feel like "Halo" in general due to the fact that they are two COMPLETELY different. So what is it that you mean? If Halo 2 were like Halo, or Visa Versa, then your statement would be Obvious as to what you mean. But, anyone who has played BOTH games knows that "Halo 3" cannot be like or feel like "Halo" in general. It was a great Update, and it was Nice to read, and we appreciate the effort you are putting in to give us information. But no offense to you and Bungie, but WE don't believe a word you guys say. Especially after the Release of Halo 2 and the changes that were made to it in the final version, was absolutely NOTHING like you guys had showed us before launch. So why should we believe you now, especially when you speak in such a "Broad" manner. IE: "Halo 3 feels like "Halo"." Yeah! i play halo 1 on either XBOX or PC more than halo 2 becasue everything is...better in H1 (except for the missing duelwielding and lovely warthog physics) i like the way halo 1 was put to gether far mor ethan halo 2. halo 1 felt like a game that you spent five years on. unlike HAlo 2, which you admitted to working primarily on after the E3 in that DVD that came with the limited edition. the two games are not similar inas many aspects as you claim. i saw a huge differance noveber 9 2004 between the games. (wait...that is when H2 came out right?) also, this new...X button thing...i bet its taking that freaking plasma grenade off of you and shoving it up the original thrower's bum hole

Hmm, respawning explosive barrels? I like them just the way they are in Halo 2... but I guess having the option to make them respawn, could be fun. More areas for customisation is never a bad thing. Hurry up with that podcast!

Also I'm kinda scared at the fact that the Assault Rifle is looking to be the starting weapon.. and the fact that you said you'd choose it over the BR in mid range battles.. sounds to me it will be even more of a spray fest than Halo 2 is.. I know that burst fire makes the shots more accurate.. but that can only do so much.. I still think that the Halo 1 pistol should come back.. Not saying make it a 3 shot kill.. but maybe a 4 shot kill like the BR with less auto aim, and bullet magnetism.. Even to today... Halo 1 still seems way more balanced in gameplay, and in weapons than Halo 2.. But I haven't seen any gameplay from Halo 3.. so i can't fret right now.. But I'm also not going to be getting my hopes up on Halo 3 like i did with Halo 2.. because Halo 2 was such a huge let down to me.. Halo 3 can very well be the same thing.

.... I NEED HALO 3 NOW (please) ... (or i'll take my assult rifle out) plz P.S. thanks for the update :)

ZOMFG Mister Chief is such a camper! He's probably whoring sniper in there, too!

Definitely the best update i've ever read (in terms of information given). Boo to KP, his last update had LOADS of censoring in! >:( So, when are we getting the second podcast, then? I refuse to read "busy". I'll keep reading "Lazy". [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Frankie One level had an entire mountainside removed to reveal a large body of water beyond it [/quote] Is this a bug/placeholder thing, Bungie deciding to remove the mountain to see/show off the water, a scripted thing (Mountain destroyed) or an in-game thing (you fire a lot of rockets at mountain, it's destroyed)? [quote]"Everytime I read an update, the urge to get H3 increases."[/quote] It's called Subliminal advertising :) Sorry for being all over the place, i was copy and pasting into my notepad whilst reading the update posts, marking things i wanted to type about... i learned from previous updates...
