    Bungie said it themselves on Neogaf and confirmed it to Joystiq.

    yes already.

    also I find this fitting right now.
    My faithful... stand firm...
    Though our enemies crowd around us, we tread the blessed path! In a moment I will light the rings and all who believe... shall be saved
    How could I have known the Parasite would follow?! Undoubtedly this is the Heretics' doing! A final, bitter curse. Clear evidence of treachery long hidden!
    So far are we along the path, that I must strain to hear the clumsy patter of their feet. Know this my brothers. They may foul the way with their charred and broken bones, but they will not stop the Journey

    B.net is going through a change. Namely I believe the reactions of everybody to all the news that has come before us. I have seen the blueprints that have been used to orchestrate these events to play our emotions that are running this site.

    We have had joy and excitement at the possibility of a new journey. Now things are looking dark and we are scared at what is happening. I see the light at the end of the tunnel. All will be fine and things will calm down and we shall be in for a treat at the end of this journey.

    Have faith my people. The good times will come. The darkness will end. I have seen the blueprints. Now just sit back and enjoy the ride with your eyes open.

    I think some of you all are being a little fantastically emo about the fact that an announcement of a game, that you know is still coming, was delayed.

    It's not like the game, that you don't know what it even is, is cancelled. Oh noes, you just don't get to hear about it for awhile longer.

    This is a totally valid event to both "quit" Microsoft/Bungie and declare that gaming will be dead by the next generation.

    Give me a break.

    The latest map pack fiasco has ruffled feathers of bungie fans as well. It looks like things aren't so smooth between the two companies currently. I'm still miffed the latency issue is still plaguing the microsoft servers but I'm always bitching about that.

    I'm just pissed that at first we get a date, no announcement.

    A countdown, no announcement.

    And well, I'm on my fifth Xbox 360, and right now, Halo is over. Halo Wars looks like shit, and the Peter Jackson project doesn't have a name after a year.

    I'm not quitting Bungie at all. But I'm kind of done with Microsoft.

    all they have to do is call up Microsoft

    Sorry that was probably a little bit uncalled for.

    I'm just sick as shit of, on the intertubes; first all the /wrist over the graphics in D3 and then all the /wrist over FFXIII coming to the 360.

    I can't go to any forum or half the gaming websites on the internet without getting these failures at life crawling over everything.

    So it is just a little sad to come to a thread/forum with otherwise normally reasonable homps and see some of that same crap going on.

    When in a custom games lobby and you're host, press X.

    Press X again while editing to save.


    Also.. I'm coming back to Halo early tonight, at least for a couple of customs. I've found some fucking awesome customs-only things that I forsee making hilarious gametypes out of.

    Also modders have discovered Neutral Flag is an option for the gametype

    it basically has

    One Flag
    Multi Flag
    Neutral Flag

    and apparently Neutral Flag functions/actually works.

    Of course nobody has been awesome and actually put a Neutral Flag gametype up to a fileshare.

A metric ton of man hours went into getting something ready to show and it's disappointing to not be able to share it. But, the upside is that it's all stuff you'll still see further down the road.

    As much as fans wanted to believe otherwise, this is in fact, the truth and not a cruel hoax or prank. E3 is winding down and there are no plans to make a surprise announcement later this week.

    http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=14782

    Also, at this news that Retard McSucksalot dropped about it really being a Halo game by Bungie, and that's why they wanted to hold it back -- they thought FFXIII was enough for E3 -- something that was known, for years, as almost being too many announcements for gaming.

    Fuckin' a, way to let down one of the biggest sections of your user base.

    Sony did not.

    So dropping the bomb anyway, to completely blow Sony away, wouldn't make sense?

    For fuck's sake, now, if they announce this thing and it doesn't look completely amazing, it will be an even bigger letdown.

    Nah. You don't need to blow Sony away.

    They already perceive they have a 'win' with FF13. You don't need to drop Halo 4 and that at the same time. There is only so much mindshare out there it would be a gross surplus of hype.

    Drop Halo 4 later in the year, X08 or something. Heck, maybe even one of the smaller shows (Pax, Leipzig)

    And by Halo 4 I mean whatever they have cooking, not specifically a sequel or anything.

    I really hope it's not just Halo 4.

    The Master Chief's story should be open to interpretation from this point out, or maybe explained in the Peter Jackson thing.

    The rumors of a GR:AW/Halo mix really got me hyped up, because the ODSTs are fucking awesome.
    I will stick around Bungie. For you. Not for them.

    Leipzig and Pax are bigger and more relevant than E3 now
