It looks like they gave luke a ton more work. Theres more news on the bungie front page in the past day then there was all month.

Her face looked retarded. Then they gave her sex appeal in 3. Quality tactics.

Lord knows he needs something to keep him busy as Frank sells out to corporate Microsoft. It's like Butthead without Beavis. Stimpy without Ren.
 
This had me in stitches! <3 the new Bungie Blog.

Since we're all volunteering, Cortana in 3 is definitely the best.

Bitch that has the most polygons wins, right Domino?
 
Wtf you people are actually discussing which game Cortana, a graphical hologram AI, is the hottest in?

Humanity is so fucked.






PS I think shes the hottest in 3 just because I'm a breast man and they are biggest in 3.

Because some of us are actually tired of the age-old "AR vs BR" discussion that's been going on and feel it's time for a breath of fresh air. And by fresh air, I mean holographic tits.

Blood can develop them, yes? :D

The Cortana (based on face) in the announcement trailer looked better than any other version we got. imo.

Yes. And Killzone 2 looked much better at E3 2005 than it does now. Not the point. Let's just stick to the real thing yeah?

Skirmish games? what do you mean...

MLG >>> Hardcore. Hardcore had like 1200 people tops at times and constantly resulted in 3v3s. On maps like Isolation CTF you basically got a flag cap if you could manage to get a double kill which was very easy if you managed to get rockets. The whole hardcore playlist was bad.

MLG's mapset and weapon set, along with the base setting changes makes for a WAY better playlist. Especially the inclusion of Onslaught.

And because of the MLG name use it gets attention from MLG players that normally wouldn't bother with Hardcore. Resulting in more players and more 4v4's even at the higher ranks.
Hardcore was better because two things:

1) bigger variety in weapons
2) use of equipment (spawns for the items weren't as quick it felt, and that's how Halo 3's games should be -- not 4-6 per map and not spawning 20 seconds per pickup)

If you disagree, fine, but that's how I looked at it.

If they made Hardcore have the SAME settings as MLG and used the SAME map setups (The Pit's change, Onslaught, etc.), you would then see more of a difference.

I would like to see population comparison for arguments sake. I know Team Hardcore was not insanely popular, but neither is MLG.

Nutter said:
All we said was at least give us a damn BR on semi-big to big maps. AR starts on Standoff is horrible. Same goes for BR start on something like Guardian. But apparently the BR folks think to high of themselves.
The AR fanatics didn't remove/reduce Team BR's from Standoff. The veto system's feedback did.

------

And yes, Shishka, please integrate Team Rifles into Team Slayer so this BR/AR non-sense can be silenced... for a while. :P

The gametype was repetitive, although fun, on Colossus in Halo 2. I think it would work well in maps like Blackout, Guardian, The Pit, Standoff (instead of Laser in the middle, make it a Beam Rifle), Construct (oh god does this map need some sort of change), and many others.

How about Shishka increases BR starts and creates the hopper Team Hello Kitty where there will be nothing but ARs, variety, and map movement.
 
So has anyone been following this thread over at B.net?

Apparently, there is a new "member rank" or whatever on the forums called "Superintendent." All of the profiles that belong to it don't have names, just a collection of "|||||||||"s and a shared profile picture that differs with the eyes.

It looks like six have been discovered so far.

And one that doesn't have the similiar profile picture, but has the same motto as the rest:

http://www.bungie.net/Account/profile.aspx?uid=4742753

Their profiles all say "Keep it clean!"

One of them has three forum posts.

In addition to that, May 16's Weekly Update had a picture of Frank in which he was wearing a shirt that has one of the profile pictures on it; the profile picture of the one that has the three forum posts.

Also, a Bungie webcam picture shows a sign on the wall that has the same picture.

I should strip TS of both ARs and BRs and make the Magnum the default starting weapon for all gametypes.

Look like a picture of a ... plumber giving a thumbs up.

I like it though - something's going on that's for sure.

This is one of the forum avatars - it has a trademark symbol. Interesting...

I guarantee this is an ARG for the PJ project, or some other announcement.
 
I suppose Bungie was serious when they retaliated at Miyamoto and said they could make a Mario game. Next project 2D platformer confirmed.

Holy crap - someone updated the Halo Wiki already :-)

I did a search for Penitent Tangent so I could get a picture of him and compare it to the "janitor" - I personally think it's an icon of him. Anyhow, the halo.wikia.com page came up in the Google results and it already has the info about the Bungie Update which references PT.

http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/2401_Penitent_Tangent
What makes you think that it's the janitor? The pictures above are just circles with eyes.
 
That crazy report stuff looks like it only referenced 2401, so it looks like it was made by another AI reporting the status of delta halo. Probably 343.

I think it's the system itself just logging information. Logging the fact that its expected caretaker hasn't shown up.

I think the WU info is about Smuggler, and is separate from the Superintendent stuff. Maybe not.

Monitors are relatively boxy shaped with a circle in the middle. If you had to really simplify the shape down to an icon made out of a couple shapes, it'd be a box with a circle in the middle. Monitors are caretakers - perhaps simplified down to janitor. Pretty simple concept really - just a guess.
 
Corrupted and rampant Penitent Tangent helps gravemind return somehow? Forerunners feel betrayal once again (ala Mendicant Bias) which leads to Halo 4. I hope I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong.

It also mentions how the gravemind used the teleportation grid. It's apparently slipspace travel. Awesome.


Oh yeah, it's definitely some other AI that was already in the delta halo, it's first request was 286 years before it's last one.

I think it's probably just about the upcoming DLC map, "Smuggler."

Wow, freaky...

The way they are hyping this map, it better be good :lol
 
LF.Xx.3273 research and containment facility; [delta site] has experienced a security breach via emergency [slip stream space] transportation conduits. Emergency [slip stream space] transportation conduits have been placed in recursive mode to contain unauthorized hostile lifeforms. Request emergency security detail. Still waiting for primary maintenance and security detail. [2512332 hours, 14 minutes, 6 seconds]elapsed since initial request.

2512332 hours , thats like 294 years...

294 years since the specimens broke out of containment...

and its safe to assume this specimen is the flood?

LF.Xx.3273 is the undifferentiated celltype that serves as the basis of all Flood biomass
 
Just popped in to say...

After deleting most of the files on my file share to make room, I realized I had Bungie Pro all along due to the Legendary Map Pack. >_> Serves me right for not looking properly.

Yeah, I think it was hinting that map is set on Delta Halo (05).

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the new icons - the "janitor" - is related to Bungie's next project. It's too distinctive and been introduced in too many places to be something else.

I agree with you on both points.

Why not the Peter Jackson project? Frankie was wearing the shirt and that's where he went I do believe.
