HALO 3 AI & THE BUNGIE WAAHMBULANCE
In their weekly update, Bungie let some information on the progression of Halo 3’s AI slip and gave us another peek into the mail bag of the Waahmbulance.
On the subject of the games AI, Frankie advised that while the Xbox 360 is capable of some gorgeous graphics, there’s enough power there to make some hefty improvements to the way npc’s behave too;
“At this point, they’re testing out the new AI and encounters as much as anything else. The graphics range from completely untextured placeholder surfaces, too brilliantly lit and detailed objects. But again, this is a gameplay test, not a graphics one. Lots of folks focus on what technology can do for the appearance of a game – but the 360’s prodigious horsepower can also be applied to AI – the behaviors, movements and reactions of computer-controlled characters. That counts for your human allies, but it’s more noticeable at this early stage in the behavior of your opponents.
Today, I swear I saw some Grunts do a classic pincer-movement to trap me in a narrow canyon. I was battling um, something bigger than a Grunt, and suddenly, I’m being peppered by a second group of jerks, mostly Grunts, who’d been sent in around my flanks to take me out. Grunts are still grunts though, and once I showed some serious opposition, a couple of them panicked and fled, but they nearly had me and it was quite a shock.” -Frankie the Content Monkey, Bungie.com
Once they got the bothersome details of gameplay aside, they dug into a subject everyone has been clamoring for more information on, namely new entries for the Bungie Waahmbulance. For those who don’t remember, the Bungie Waahmbulance is the place where whining, poorly written complaints from folks who have been banned from Live go after they arrive in the Bungie inbox. Let’s take a look at some of this weeks inductees;
The Snitch
“i can name two guys i have played with who cheated i am doing this because we were stand bying and i got banned. the other two didn’t. one was bridging the other guy host who was stand bying. i was just in the party. im not trying to beg for my account back. i know that i was cheating and it was wrong. im just pissed that they didnt get caught when i did. here are their names” – Some cheating jerkMan, there is just no honor among thieves…or modders anymore, is there?
Potty Mouth
“hey how about u dumbasses stop putting [censored] [censored] games on [censored] halo2. You have some of the [censored] ideas. instead of new games how about gettin off ur lazy asses and making new maps [censored]“ -Some kidI hope that isn’t the same mouth he eats with…
He’s only 3… err 13 years old
“ok i dout there is any thing you can do and if so o well. ok this happend a wile ago but i have not had the time to come here i had an xbox and it brock so i bout a used one because i did not have the monney to i gat home and put my gamertag on the xbox and when on live when i gat on it seid i was band from match making. i was wondering why. then i gat a xbox 360 a few days ago and put my gammer on there thinking it was just that xbox was wierd or something but it told me the same thing. i was just wondering if thiers any thing i can do? my gammertag is [withheld]
thank youp.s. sorry i cant spell im only 13″ – an example of a school system gone horribly wrong?
Oh…my…God… I literally weep for the future. I may bill Bungie for wear and tear on my spell-checker after that. I think every 13 year old out there needs to go find this kid and smack him upside the head for besmirching the good name of thirteen year olds everywhere.

HALO 3 AI & THE BUNGIE WAAHMBULANCE
In their weekly update, Bungie let some information on the progression of Halo 3’s AI slip and gave us another peek into the mail bag of the Waahmbulance.
On the subject of the games AI, Frankie advised that while the Xbox 360 is capable of some gorgeous graphics, there’s enough power there to make some hefty improvements to the way npc’s behave too;
“At this point, they’re testing out the new AI and encounters as much as anything else. The graphics range from completely untextured placeholder surfaces, too brilliantly lit and detailed objects. But again, this is a gameplay test, not a graphics one. Lots of folks focus on what technology can do for the appearance of a game – but the 360’s prodigious horsepower can also be applied to AI – the behaviors, movements and reactions of computer-controlled characters. That counts for your human allies, but it’s more noticeable at this early stage in the behavior of your opponents.
Today, I swear I saw some Grunts do a classic pincer-movement to trap me in a narrow canyon. I was battling um, something bigger than a Grunt, and suddenly, I’m being peppered by a second group of jerks, mostly Grunts, who’d been sent in around my flanks to take me out. Grunts are still grunts though, and once I showed some serious opposition, a couple of them panicked and fled, but they nearly had me and it was quite a shock.” -Frankie the Content Monkey, Bungie.com
Once they got the bothersome details of gameplay aside, they dug into a subject everyone has been clamoring for more information on, namely new entries for the Bungie Waahmbulance. For those who don’t remember, the Bungie Waahmbulance is the place where whining, poorly written complaints from folks who have been banned from Live go after they arrive in the Bungie inbox. Let’s take a look at some of this weeks inductees;

“At this point, they’re testing out the new AI and encounters as much as anything else. The graphics range from completely untextured placeholder surfaces, too brilliantly lit and detailed objects. But again, this is a gameplay test, not a graphics one. Lots of folks focus on what technology can do for the appearance of a game – but the 360’s prodigious horsepower can also be applied to AI – the behaviors, movements and reactions of computer-controlled characters. That counts for your human allies, but it’s more noticeable at this early stage in the behavior of your opponents.
Today, I swear I saw some Grunts do a classic pincer-movement to trap me in a narrow canyon. I was battling um, something bigger than a Grunt, and suddenly, I’m being peppered by a second group of jerks, mostly Grunts, who’d been sent in around my flanks to take me out. Grunts are still grunts though, and once I showed some serious opposition, a couple of them panicked and fled, but they nearly had me and it was quite a shock.” -Frankie the Content Monkey, Bungie.com
Once they got the bothersome details of gameplay aside, they dug into a subject everyone has been clamoring for more information on, namely new entries for the Bungie Waahmbulance. For those who don’t remember, the Bungie Waahmbulance is the place where whining, poorly written complaints from folks who have been banned from Live go after they arrive in the Bungie inbox. Let’s take a look at some of this weeks inductees;
The Snitch
“i can name two guys i have played with who cheated i am doing this because we were stand bying and i got banned. the other two didn’t. one was bridging the other guy host who was stand bying. i was just in the party. im not trying to beg for my account back. i know that i was cheating and it was wrong. im just pissed that they didnt get caught when i did. here are their names” – Some cheating jerkMan, there is just no honor among thieves…or modders anymore, is there?
Potty Mouth
“hey how about u dumbasses stop putting [censored] [censored] games on [censored] halo2. You have some of the [censored] ideas. instead of new games how about gettin off ur lazy asses and making new maps [censored]“ -Some kidI hope that isn’t the same mouth he eats with…
He’s only 3… err 13 years old
“ok i dout there is any thing you can do and if so o well. ok this happend a wile ago but i have not had the time to come here i had an xbox and it brock so i bout a used one because i did not have the monney to i gat home and put my gamertag on the xbox and when on live when i gat on it seid i was band from match making. i was wondering why. then i gat a xbox 360 a few days ago and put my gammer on there thinking it was just that xbox was wierd or something but it told me the same thing. i was just wondering if thiers any thing i can do? my gammertag is [withheld]
thank youp.s. sorry i cant spell im only 13″ – an example of a school system gone horribly wrong?
Oh…my…God… I literally weep for the future. I may bill Bungie for wear and tear on my spell-checker after that. I think every 13 year old out there needs to go find this kid and smack him upside the head for besmirching the good name of thirteen year olds everywhere.
