Great update! Lukems! I have a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies am taking a year off and am going back to grad school to get my Master of Architecture. I've always had an interest in making video games as a career, and this update gave me a little hope. Any suggestions as to what you (Bungie) or any other gaming company is looking for through this degree? Thanks

This was posted in another thread. I thought I'd put it here. For anyone interested, it's from [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=21481630&postRepeater1]THIS[/url] thread.

Great. More confusing things that will make my mind wander at work, Bungie. Thanks. ;) [Edited on 05.30.2008 8:58 PM PDT]

I know Luke's gonna hate me for this but..... we need Frankie to help you dude. Updates since his vacation have been disgraceful. I and many other (I think) want a real update, announcing future updates and other things. The future update from last weeks updates was ok... but wasn't a great description. So please Luke, get us something to look forward to.

You guys, 2401 isn't a year. 343 (7^3) Guilty Spark 2401 (7^4) Pentinent Tangent We all know Bungie loves 7s, so 2401 is just emblematic of that. My bets are that it's a map set on Delta Halo. So, a remake? Which Halo 2 make occurred on the Delta Halo? That symmetrical one with the overgrown grass and stuff? Can't remember thye name... But my bet is really on some sort of Forerunner complex that's been infected. Think about it, the monitor failing in it's duty? mmmhmmm But what is this Superintendent stuff?

OH MY GOD!!! Y'all remember the [url=http://bungie.wikia.com/wiki/Cortana_letters]cortana letters[/url]? the "hacking" of [url=http://bungie.wikia.com/wiki/I_Love_Bees]ilovebees.com[/url]? the cryptic forum posts before Halo 3's announcement by [url=http://bungie.wikia.com/wiki/AdjutantReflex]AdjutantReflex[/url]? I think it's starting again. And I'd bet the Superintendent has something to do with it... Maybe. =]

It was clearly a cryptic hint involving the new Smuggler level. Not an ARG, it's Halo lore, guys. :)

smuggler sounds eary. the flood...AHHHHH!!!!!

Honestly I'm not going to condone people freaking out on the forums but seriously all the waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah'ing could've been avoided if the BR frequency change had actually been specifically stated as being extremely limited on an extremely small amount of maps. Also; what the -blam!- was that last bit about? Someone talking about Delta Halo out of nowhere for no reason? My guess is it was Luke's attempt to confuse people in to reading the update before they started posting z0MGfIRsTpage!!!11

well I'm glad I didn't freak out last week about the BR start crap... I was dissapointed, so I'm a newb.. I love the BR. but hey wtf it will still be fun and it's hardly notable any way!! [Edited on 05.30.2008 7:38 PM PDT]

Great update; looking forward to the new dlc! Also, cool new website features!

Incase anyone wants a summary: -The amount that br's will show up in TS is lowered by .4 percent. (Unnoticable change. I don't know why they did it, let alone mentioned it) -They told us what they told us yesterday about the website changes -Interview with some guy no one has ever heard of -Random ARG babbling
-
i don't know about decresing the battle rifle, especially on ghost town
-
Let's not forget Bungie still has 250 achievement points to use on Halo 3. I bet there is going to be some sort of campaign/Co-op DLC in the near future. They have never teased a map like this before, only campaign. Mark my words.

Smuggler=Containment remake. All I got for sure out of that is that the map is going to have a Forerunner background.
