In Response To: BUNGIE WEEKLY UPDATE!!! (Frankie)

Here is my comments. Enjoy my ranting.

: Bungie Weekly Update May 21 2004

: What gives!!?? HBO two weeks in a row? Not really. Last week's came off
: sounding fake, and there was no Mister CHief. So we OWE HBO this one.

*sniff* He really likes us.

: SONIC THE GRIESEMER

:reduced the number of
: needles requires for a super-detonation,  
: He's also added some new weapons to the mix, which of course we can't
: mention here,
: but both are VERY different from each other.

This is one of the most interesting reads. Reduced number of needlers for super-detenation? Well, in Halo 1 it was 7, what is it going to be in Halo 2? 3 needlers? 4?.

Not only that but a talk about a new weapon, but not Human nor covenant made, possibly Forerunner? This is getting interesting. The suspense is terrible, I hope it last.

: Jaime says we recorded a ton of combat dialog.  And he says that our combat
: dialog plan is basically insane.  Jaime argues that the combat dialog in
: Halo 1 still holds up well, but that Halo 2’s dialog will make it look
: primitive.  He says that the AI is so much more aware of what is going on
: around it, we couldn’t help but take advantage of that with more dialog. 
: He's pretty sure we recorded more unique lines for one character than we
: had in all of Halo 1.

Not only do the Marines have a smart A.I. (pun not intended), but now they have a smart mouth. Better get the soap, ladies and gentlemen, looks like the marines are going to speak their mind. (Sgt. Johnsan was the best at this, Lets hope he keeps it up in Halo 2)
 
: Jaime's also been spending a lot of time this week setting up a brand new
: Covenant vehicle. He thinks it is the coolest-looking Covenant vehicle so
: far and he can’t wait to get it into the game. He wouldn't tell us if it
: was single, multiplayer or both.

As long as we can drive it, you can give the covenant as many vehicles as they want. (side not: still no ATV info. I don't care if it is only used in multiplayer, I wasnt to drive it. Bentllama can have my roadkill pancakes)
 

: SUPER BUTCHER BROS.

: Chris has been working diligently been working on time control for PAL vs.
: NTSC builds... he says that sounds lame but it might let us do some cool
: in-game slow-mo features if we so chose, but only if they were implemented
: in some cool, non-clichéd way.

Just no 'Matrix', please. That is all we need. ><
 
: BUBSY THE BUTKUS

: We asked John Butkus, the tallest animator, what cool stuff he'd been up to
: (this was Thursday night, Hockey fans…): "If you consider re-doing
: all the Elite animations with him holding a Brute weapon cool, then yes I
: guess that is cool shit.  Let’s see, since we spoke last I’ve finished up
: a large, intimidating alien, given the elite a Brute weapon.

Wait, I thought Elites hated the Brutes, now they are using their weapons? I guess the Elites hate Humans more if they are willing to go that far. Or the covenant gave the Brutes the weapons, which is probuly right, but in all it spells trouble for the Master Chief.

: Sorry, getting a little sidetracked because I’m monitoring the
: Lightning/Flyers NHL game right now.  I’m a diehard Flyers fan, and if
: they lose tonight they’re out of the playoffs…so if that happens, I will
: be ‘sick’ tomorrow i.e., hung-over from drowning my sorrows, so I hope
: they win tonight and force a game 7.

Me too, Frankie *Go Flyers*. Flyers have to win. If they don't I will be very upset, and you wouldn't like me when I am very upset. *go Flyers*
 
: (One of the marines’ responses to being stared at by the player for a long
: time)
: “Most people don't like having a gun pointed in their face. Me? I love it.”

LOL! BEST. LINE. EVER.

: AERO THE WALPOLE

: Nathan reports from the dark precipice of the animation station: Mike Budd is
: still trouncing on some great animation of a secret character and it looks
: damn good.
: John has finished off a secret character that will be great fun to play
: around.

Secret Character? I would have been satisfied with the Engineer making an appearence. Fun to play with? So that indicates that it is either harmless or just weaker than the grunt. I can't see Master Chief going up to a Brute (or something similar to it) and cuddling it like a giant teddy bear (w/ a greneade launcher)(Self Comment:))

: I have been working on the Brute this past week. After the recent E3 crunch
: it is nice to move back onto a vastly different character. I have been
: working on some animations for some cool AI behavior that is guaranteed to
: have players pooping themselves, changing their underpants only to poop
: themselves again… I have been watching some biker movies and National
: Geographic films for reference. Mr. Brute, may I introduce you to your
: cousins Black Rhino, Silverback Gorilla and Brian Bosworth?

OOOooooOOOOOoooooOOOOOooooHhh I'm having chills just thinking about it.

: So that's it for this week folks, and we'll lead you out with something so
: horrible, Mister Chief refused to be a part of it...

*CENSORED*

This is the best Update yet. Thanks Frankie for making my week.
