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.

Some cool stuff in the post... I think the assault rifle sounds like we might be starting with a weapon worth something by default... I like it. So even Halo 1 fanatics like some of the adjustments? Sounds cool, I definitely enjoy some Halo 1, even more than H2 lately, can't wait for the trifecta to be complete. If barrels respawn, that might be a little weird. Something to consider is if they're in a position where they will knock a power weapon off the map, causing it not to respawn like what happens on lockout if you shoot/nade the barrels on the top of the snipe tower correctly. Just a thought.... Looking forward to the preview of some MP maps -Cancer

I'm glad the AR is back and improved and works well. But I'm sure I'll still use the BR more and I hope that they improve upon it as well. I think the SMG spawns and whatnot just ruined the first moments of the game and like Frankie said just making it a mad rush to get the weapons. But something I truly truly truly hope they fix is that SHOTGUN! It's nothing like a real shotgun and so completely random on Live or even on System Link that it almost makes it worthless. I played a game of Halo 1 System Link the other day and I had forgotten how truly great that version of the shottie was. No longer did I have to rush a target and hope that my pointblank shot/punch combo would randomly get the target, I could actually shoot from a shorter distance and it be effective. It was basically the range that the SMG is best at, not too far, not too close...but of course as a shottie the closer it got the better it was. It wasn't random. Too many times I'll be chasing a target with my shottie have planted four or five shots in his back and possibly even a punch as he turns to face me and he will turn around and in ONE SHOT he'll kill me. I want a useful shotgun back. I know they "fixed" it to make it more "balanced" but it just turned it into a luck weapon. I honestly used to never pick it up, I will occasionally now to prevent others from picking it up and randomly killing me in one shot from 10 feet away when I can't even kill them with a point blank shot and a punch. Even in no shield games where theoretically it should do pretty well and perform more like a real world counter part it's still random. I'm fine with one of the bumpers being the reload but why have the right reload only the right and then have the left reload the left if you're dual wielding. I find that kind of useless and a waste of controller real-estate. If you press the reload/X button easy enough it will reload only one of the guns anyways. I'm fine with them trying to revolutionize the use of the X button but hopefully it's not something stupid and will end up being a waste of time. I liked it as my general usage button. To activate things, to reload, to pick up a new gun. I get pissed off at other Xbox games when they do not use the X button as that. But things are still to speculative at this point. I hope Bungie does continue the work they do and do well and hopefully elevate Halo 3 to a level above both Halo 1/CE and Halo 2.

Oh I hope the fusion cores just don't respawn out of nothing, that's kind of lame. I know the weapons do but you can justify that in a "virtual" battlefield by saying maybe there are some supply troops running aruond we don't see dropping off the guns. But random fusion cores appearing out of thin air as I'm walking around doesn't sound realistic even in a virtual game.

WOW! I can't wait for the Mag and the game to come out! Great Update!

Great update. As if I wasn't already pumped up enough for Halo 3. Keep up the good work Bungie, you rokzorz my sokzorz.

Hooray for Bungie Updates! What people need to realize is that Bungie was bound to release actual information on Halo 3 in their Weekly Updates... eventually.To say nothing would be just be...strange (see: Corporate Marketing Suicide) So for all of you guys who used to whine and complain about lack of actual Halo 3 content in the WWU, I hope you all feel very foolish! News was/and is inevitable-- the rest of us just had more patience (see: Maturity) ;) Can't wait for the EGM story(s)!! [Edited on 11/3/2006]

"Its nice to get some halo content. Halo 3 looks like it will be substantially better than the other halo game currently being developed. Sometimes, loyal fans can make a better free game than a multi billion dollar corporation." In response to both your post and your signature I would like to offer up a most hearty "What the crap?" HALOGEN will sadly never see the light of day, but this is ensemble studios vs. free lance C and C modders. Do you really think HALOGEN would have been a better game? Oh and in regards to this little tid bit "BLIZZARD > BUNGIE", I say "APPLES and ORANGES". [Edited on 11/3/2006]

ok where's vista info

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DANO555666 um......has anyone else picked up on the blatantly obvious fact that Frankie said the AR now shoots grenades? for those of you who are lazy: [quote=Frankie]Interestingly, I will often choose the Assault Rifle over the Battle Rifle in a mid-sized map with any kind of indoor locations – which is hardly surprising, but what is surprising is that I will use it in open areas too – pulsing my trigger finger to keep it accurate, and hammering an opponent in the process. The grenade accuracy and predictability also helps. [/quote] Kay™[/quote] so if we all agree with this then that means that the x button must be used for a weapon's secondary fire. makes sense and sounds great edit: oh and by the way wonderful update. [Edited on 11/3/2006]

BEST UPDATE EVAAAA!!!!! now about those SCREENSHOTS?! p.s. So does that mean that the BR is in HALO 3? [Edited on 11/4/2006]

i was looken for some halo 3 forums on google to descuss some x butten posabilities and i stumbled over some scanz of the new maps that a guy got reaallyy far away and all i have to say is wow, the mongoose looks sweet, the laiser canon thing looks real cool and one map looks like a capaigne leval from one of the halo games :) but i am not going to say witch one, so bungie does not kill me..... but yeah, for being in its alpha stage of devolpement the graphics are very nice and from my point of veiw, presentable, i have already seen the new halo 3 magazine but i am still going to bye one!

I just wanna know one thing, does the 'carnaged' patch mean that there will be extra amounts of gore in this game .. for the love of god please say yes lol .. Oh and very nice update, good to know that I have a while to pick up my 360 before this game is actually released.
-
Ok, here's my view on the "Scary Thing". I think it's when they show all of the Halo systems launching their activating shots to the arc, the arc then controls the shots and uses the ring systems to launch the devastating attack, to starve the flood. Or it could just have something to do with the Gravemind... Who [i]is[/i] the Gravemind anyway. I know what he looks like, I just want to know who he is...

Why is shipping to europe still that expensive?? I would buy many stuff, but not for 100$ shipping costs... -.-
-
"Read the new EGM to find out why" WTF ! Just let us see what's up with Halo 3 now ! Why must you treat all content like it's the greatest thing ever done!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Wicked Evil One Why must you treat all content like it's the greatest thing ever done! [/quote] Perhaps bcause it IS the greatest thing ever done?!^^

so in other words all the stuff we wanted except for the spartan lazer happened and were renamed pretty much nice job not listening to groups or the forums request also in a comparison to Brutus's speech in Shakesperes Julius Caesar, all you said were blank statements that we already knew to be true, wheres the update
-
Now that i've changed my pants, awesome! Finally on the run up to halo 3 with eagerly awaited news each week :D
-
I hope we see some more varied environments, both on Halo rings and Earth... Anyone remember those wallpapers, that just showed the Halo ring and it was real Icy? and the one where it was all ocean? They were cool, but we never saw anything of the sort in-game... we want forests (as mentioned) icy levels, arid desert etc and not just on the halo rings, but on Earth! You guys seem to give the impression Africa is the entire earth! Great update though, I don't wanna read anymore, 'cos I don't like ruining surprises.
-
Great update, nice to hear that Frankie has finally turned into a frothing fanboy. I also have dreams of Halo 3, mostly on Valhalla. And I have only seen a few pictures.

WOW I just went to Halopedia and almost peed when I saw all this new Halo 3 multiplayer stuff!!!!!!
