At least we get a _few minutes_ of universal love and joy before everything falls back to shit again. Seems like a fair trade for 4+ months of work and a free map, no?

Kudos to this thread and Ghaleon for the Bungie Day thread.. It's a breath of fresh air after wallowing in our own depressing forums day after day.

Well it seems like there trying to distract us from the all this Br ****.

Bungie is trying to cover up for the bnet kids

Oh look. A compliment. Sort of.

That's pretty good of Bungie I guess, although I still wish that it had been Middy

Soak up the praise, Luke. Soak. It. Up.

The MLG Forum already has been bitching about Cold Storage and it's not a perfect map.

Bungie gives them these arena-style maps they whine for, and they finally get them, but here we go again --- more tears.
 
Kibbles said:
All Hail Bungie, seriously.

- Cold Storage for free
- Tonight even more Cold Storage awesomeness in downloadable form (ViDoc is my guess)
- Awesomecast
- More free stuff on Bungie Day
- and Luke kicks some serious ass, saving my life :p

Shame on you who insults Midship and Ivory Tower. Two of my favorite maps from Halo 2. Just hopped on and played some Crow's Nest to add to the 7 billion kill count on my own. Going to finish up my Legendary Co-Op campaign tonight hopefully too. We can hit 7 billion!

Oh and my little creation about the banning of people with stuff in their file shares not from the game...

LAWLRUS.jpg


I've seen the LAWLRUS several times in Halo 3 file shares so I just thought it was appropriate.:lol
 
Walk back into the office from the lab and I'm welcomed with this. Not surprised but the closure feels so good. I would totally post some awesome flight gifs if photobucket weren't blocked.

I want to fuck Bungie.



Could anyone copy past the entirety of the BWU so I may read it?

BWU 07/03/08

A bit of a Summer-y mix of housecleaning, stone-cold truth and good news (good news) in this week’s pre-July 4th-done-and-posted-a-full-day early version of the Weekly Update. If it were a beverage for adults in the U.S.A., it would be one where all of the delicious, mind-easing parts of it have collected at the bottom.

The Bad News First

Recently, we’ve seen a moderate influx of things appearing in File Shares that don’t belong there. Some this is just tweaked content from Halo 3 that has been uploaded in sundry and illegal fashions. In fewer cases, there have been a relatively small number of incidents of folks uploading inappropriate non-game content to the File Share.

Fair warning: Users who have modified content on their File Share - regardless of who created said content - will be subjected to the full power of the Banhammer’s thrust. This includes some never-before-unleashed technology that will effectively terminate your Halo multiplayer experience online in every imaginable facet. In fact, the ban is so thorough that simply calling it the Banhammer is a complete understatement. I just couldn’t come up with a more hyper-exaggerated term that had the same feel. Banplatform? Banpocalpyse? Banmageddnon? None of those did the trick.

Your Cause is Righteous and We Salute You

Seven Billion kills in Halo 3’s Campaign before July 7th? Well, four days before July 7, ya’all are about 120M dead Covenant/Flood short of your lofty goal. If those were weekdays, I’d still have my doubts – and mathematically, it’s going to be pretty tough to get done – but it is a holiday weekend on U.S. soil, so maybe, just maybe, the Internet will pull it together and turn that six in the billion column into a seven.

Note: I asked Rocketmoose if we could tweak the database to make it look like great success for the Internet, but he said I did enough lying on a daily basis that he was unwilling to enable further mistruth. I tried!

Sounds of Science

The next episode of the Bungie Podcast has splorted out of the sausage machine. There’s a whole lot of meat ground up and encased in an mp3-formatted intestine and it will make its way from the Internet to your ears on 7/7, barring unforeseeable, inconceivable levels of tragedy.

Guests include: Lars Bakken, Shishka, Producer Allen Murray, Security Expert Jerome Simpson, IT Manager and Podcast Engineer Steve Lopez, Producer Joe Tung and Mission Architect Chris Carney. The room was full of men.

Save roughly 95 minutes of your day on Monday for the Bungie Podcast.

Cold Storage: Priced, Dated

By now you’ve hopefully read Sketch’s Humpday against the Wonder Triplets, you’ve probably seen some Cold Storage screenshots and checked out the overhead perspective of the map. That seems like pretty much par for the map reveal course and next week, we’ll have a Q&A with some of the mapmakers to commemorate Cold Storage’s release.

Cold Storage will be available for free beginning on July 7, Bungie Day, on Xbox Live Marketplace.

Additionally, don’t forget to grab the one-day-only free gamerpics and theme on 7/7.

Beginning on July 7, there will be a 48-hour long seven-player FFA playlist in Halo 3’s Matchmaking where you can turn the calendar back to 2001 and control l Rockets, Invis and Snipe.

For now, Cold Storage will be implemented in regular rotation in playlists that require the Legendary Maps. To avoid confusion, playlists that previously required the Legendary Maps will now remind players that they need “all Maps” to participate, and since Cold Storage is free, it shouldn’t be a big deal for you to grab the map on July 7 and then return to your regularly scheduled business in SWAT.

Additionally, on 7/7, Microsoft is dropping the price of the Legendary Map Pack from 800 spacebucks to 600 spacebucks. That price drop does mean that purchases after 7/7 will no longer include the Bungie Pro bonus.

We’re trying to churn one last thing out today regarding Cold Storage, and we hope to have that for you folks later this afternoon. We’re just squeezing it through the download system this morning. If something cataclysmic happens and it doesn’t get out today, I’ll stop drinking beer and consuming grilled meats over the long weekend and get it up for ya’all.

Can't wait to see even more Wahmbulances.

Could Bungie label users "Banned" (or something more witty)on their Bungie accounts/gamercards? Kinda like how MS did for the gamercard achievement boosters.

What about like Exiled? Quick to the thesaurus.......
 
Because of all the men in this coming podcast I hereby declare its name "The delicast"

Congrats to metroid on the perfection, seems head to head is the place to get them.

So pumped for the Cold Storage map, we need to hit 7 billion to show our thanks.
 
Oh and I wanted to add that in once again venturing into Halo 3's campaign, how impressed I get over and over about the variance of the Brute's armor. The red cyclops eyed helmet that the invisible Brutes wear, the thick chest-plate that the boost-pack Brutes wear, the tiny little things like that.

BANNED: User is a victim of Bungies Banhammer.

Oh and Happy Bday Omlet, invite me to more of your games!:D
 
Wow. Excellent stuff.

But I'll have to wait a while, since my Xbox is being repaired... I can suddenly sympathise with Shake (and others), though.

My biggest regret is not having the gamerpics and theme. :/

You could rent a 360 and use your hard drive. I had to do that for GRAW and Burnout Revenge.

Ugh, that's a whole lotta work. MS should make the marketplace available through Xbox.com and queue up downloads for you 360.
Get some Bungie folks over there to help them work that one out.

Everyone should know by now; with that bastard Omlet there's no chance.
 
So I get online and I receive this weird message from this guy whom I do not know if I have played with or not. Anyway, I recorded the message. The image is backwards (I tried, but couldn't fix it), so sorry my recording skills are not as 1337 as Urk's.

It's quite funny, oh and I am pointing to his gamerpic which reads "MLG"
And you might have to turn your volume up:
Click on the laughing smiley please.

Do you even know what we are saying they are the best in regards too?

Even then, just to smite you, their devs are also the best. :p

Why are you here?

He was clearly not the best, so they had to let him go; since he says he has worked with them before.

As far as treating their fans well, they are by far the best. Combine that with their ability to make good games whether think their actual games are "the best" and...You have one awesome game company that's for sure. Can't wait to see their next project.

Nobody is involved with their community as much as Bungie.

"Thee" best, may be a simple matter of opinion. Bungie is in my top 5 for developers, but there are others out there that do the same thing, which deserve the title of best as well.

Blizzard is the only other dev I know that treats their fanbase as well as Bungie.

"Best" is a relative term; everyone knows that.

He's yet to realize that working to serve Bungie's Janitorial needs does not qualify him to assess their development qualities.
