Shall we take bets? :^)Homeboyd said:Maybe we'll hear something from France soon...
Urk, that was a beautiful piece. Bungie made the right choice when they asked you to join the team.
Now I can't wait for the ViDoc.
Edit: "O Brave New Worlds"? Who's the Shakespeare fan at Bungie? That's the second reference to the bard I've seen in the last two months or so.
Notice the moon in the top right corner? There was a moon in the "Destiny Awaits" photo from "ODST." We might be looking at Destiny.
Or my geographical understanding of Earth is terrible.

Skeptics revel!!

We don't really know at all. :/
I mean, there's theories and some evidence, but until they say, I don't think we can know its an MMO.
Hypertrooper said:
Agreed, on both! What if Bungie creates another game series that as captivating and addicting (or more) as Halo? Man, it'll be hard to juggle both games.
I'm not worried about it being an MMO. I can't see it being like WoW. I see something similar to Halo, but persistent in some form. Maybe ongoing battles and areas of a world to save, but they never "end". Maybe you join the battles, but you don't start matches ala Halo. I dunno.

Damn that Urkles can write
Hitmonchan107 said:
No joke on Urk. I was saddened when Frankie left, and Luke helped fill the void. I didn't instantly like Urk's style, but now I love....get this....even more than Frankles (<3).
That banner has a new but familiar art style to it as well. Damn you Bungie and your hints.
I just watched New Beginnings again. Man, Bungie is so awesome. This line of thinking is how I feel about work and creating things. They really are 1 of a kind.

When Urk became the community guy, it was like a new wellspring of joy on Bungie.net. There were new stories every day, and the weekly update ran like clockwork. I'm not looking forward to more quiet, secluded times.
Still, the fact that we're getting new Halo games and new Bungie games has the potential to be a tremendous blessing to the gaming world.

I wouldn't call myself a veteran. Your sarcasm is of a non-scathing variety.kylej said:
That's not really a definition, but a figurative use, and no, it still wouldn't apply. Players in a game willingly submit themselves to win and lose, the only way you'd abuse them is by flag-holding or something, and I don't think you'd want to brag about that.The Real Napsta said:

Bungie are the masters of taking advantage of the internet for this kinda stuff, I really cant wait to see what they do next.
You can check out your progress to your next rank in your service record, but I'm pretty sure you can't check how much you've earned from a game or anything like that.LosDaddie said:

I wonder if someone could write a cR tracking application that used the API. Every time a new game got pushed, it would record the current cR balance, then you would have the cR payout per game.Hey You said:
This made me a bit weepy. An enormous swath of my gaming memories are tied to Halo, and it's odd to see the the people I've come to associate with it move on, while Halo continues. Halo made me a Bungie fan, and so it is with that mix of nostalgia and excitement that I anticipate what they're doing next. Ten years of memories gone by. Thanks for all the good times, Bungie. Here's to ten years of new ones.Hypertrooper said:

I noticed that also. I still think Destiny is a planet, and the ODST sign was literal - it's waiting.Hitmonchan107 said:

I'm actually going to try and play through every Bungie game in chronological order. I don't know what kind of work that's going to entail, though (maybe I'll have to buy an old Mac, lol).MrBig said:
You know if it wasn't for Bungie and Halo, I don't think I would have been so big into games as I am today.
The only games I played before Halo where Megaman and Banjo Kazooie.
I actually remember my first time ever playing Halo CE like it was yesterday. I was with my father for his basket ball stuff but all the members where having a LAN party and playing Halo CE and they let me hop in, 4v4 CTF on Hang Em High
After that I went right a head and bought a Xbox and Halo CE (got Steel Battalion too) with my Birthday cash. Then not too long after I started to hear about E3 and my first E3 viewing happened to be the E3 where they announced Halo 2. Needless to say I was pumped. When Halo 2 came out that was a instant buy and I actually won a strategy guide from Game Crazy for winning the FFA tourny they had. I actually never had Xbox Live for the first year or so of actually owning Halo 2 yet I played it every single day either single player or MP with my cousins or friends. Then after a year my parents finally decided to get good internet connection and with in hours I had my gamertag (still the same as today) set up and was ready to go. Then I discovered the wonder of Xbox Live. I met quite a few awesome friends on my first day, 2 of which I still talk to daily, tried to make a few Halo videos (warthog jumps and ect) and played the ever loving crap out of BTB.
I could go on and on about Halo 2 and Xbox live and Halo in general but I think I will stop now lol
Bungie thank you for making me a very happy gamer over these past few years.

Trying to Be Brave and not cry. Oh well, I can wait for a year or so. I'm sure for guys who have been around for many many years (Wu, b.org guys) this'll be easier than the wait for Halo, but just as, or even more exciting than that.

CruelLEGACEY just picked up on something I never noticed:
Probably very old news.
Edit: I'm sad that HBO has two competing customs groups on the same night every week, and we can hardly gather up enough people to hold our own every other week.

I don't even think I'd be playing games right now if it weren't for Halo. As much as I dislike Reach, I buy other games and I'm reminded why I don't bother most of the time. Shoddy netcodes, no party systems, no matchmaking, etc. etc. Pretty embarrassing how far ahead their stuff is compared to almost every other game on consoles, CoD being the only one that even comes close...

are there any other people here from the west coast that can play at night? I feel like everyone is east coast and beyond

I was super impressed with "Gears of War 3." My real-life friends can tell you: I swore off the "Gears" series after the second one. Glitches, shoddy matchmaking, subpar story -- I was tired of getting duped into buying those games only to be disappointed.Ramirez said:
But I had an absolute blast with the "Gears 3" beta. Quite possibly a more consistent, enjoyable level of fun than I've experienced with "Reach."

Gears 3 has everything in it but the kitchen sink. It's nuts.

This is a forum full of Halo players that seem to never want to play halo... As I've said several times already, I am on now if anyone wants to join me
Devin Olsen said:
I'll definitely be on in about an hour and a half - I'll hit you up then.
@ Hitmonchan and TJ Ram - the Gears 3 beta was outstanding. I absolutely loathed Gears 1 and Gears 2, but the promise of the improved netcode in general, plus addition of "dedicated servers" and multiple changes to AR's made it play so much faster with skill winning more than connection. It was VERY refreshing for me as like TJ Ram, other shooters today hold a fleeting interest for me compared to Halo... even with Reach's issues.
Gears 3 was awesome when the servers were up, when they were down I got pretty shoddy matches, not as bad as 2, but not as smooth as Reach. I'd love for 4 to have dedi's, I doubt it though, I think the only reason Gears got them is because of how pathetic the netcode was in the other 2 games.

So now that the divorce is offical let me be the first to say.
OMG 343I You're playlists suck. Fix them. I want every load out with Armor lock and every starting weapon to be the plasma pistol. And dear god can you be any more slow updating them. I mean god you are offically in charge now and not a single play list update in the past 16 hours. OMG.

Dual wielding plasma pistols.
Hold me.
Who do I have to blow around here to get dedicated servers for Halo 4? Reach on host is a completely different (and far less frustrating) game than playing off some idiot's torrent-riddled connection. So so so so so so so tired of P2P. It's 2011, y'all. Let me buy Xbox Live Vermilion and get away from all the screaming 12 year olds and garbage connections.

The jackpot amount lowered?
The last super jackpot before Bungie week was 27,000 credits.
