Bungie Weekly Update 6.25.10 |
|
| |
 Well, this week, Bungie decided to release a bunch of stuff.
This stuff includes information on bug squashing and the such, a little bit of statistics and this thing about a ZBR. I'm just guessing, but apparently ZBR is something that tests the game for bugs, prior to release, and according to Bungie, Halo Reach has zero bugs left, they've been squashed, but some get past the ZBR apparently. Hm...
They also told us about some interesting bugs they found that brought the lols. Here's one with the elite model that's actually pretty big.
Description:
UI: START MENU: ARMORY: MODEL: The feet don't rotate with the Elite when examining him.
Repro:
1. Launch the main menu.
2. Go into the Armory->Player.
3. Change the Preferred Species to Elite.
4. Zoom the camera out and rotate the Elite around.
Actual:
The Elite's feet/legs don't rotate with the pelvis.
Expected:
The entire Elite rotates.
This bug came to UI engineering because it involved the Armory. In this case I’m not sure what the problem ended up being, because it didn’t repro in later builds and we simply resolved as “No repro.”
Still, it provided some great laughs!
A few other bugs were mentioned, by Shiska, that guy who....does stuff with playlists I think. Regardless, I'm pretty sure a lot of people don't like him.
42748: The “Mongooses Only” vehicle set turned every vehicle object into a mongoose. The security cameras in Sword Base are technically vehicles so they can be made to move. Thus: “Mongooses Only” on Sword Base caused Gooses to hang out of the walls and ceilings of the map.
40750: A new tester submitted a bug that the Falcon could not be flown on a particular map, but instead would drag along the ground. Upon review of the bug it was determined that the Falcon itself was fine, but the tester was holding down the wrong button thus keeping the Falcon grounded. The map itself is, of course, quite alright.
14579: The female MP Spartan model would, when her shields were popped, suddenly become the male Spartan model. IT’S A TRAP.
Now the one with the female to male spartan model is just funny. I actually giggled a little bit.
Oh, and by the way, remember that little variant called "Race" in Halo 1, well it's back. And it's cool. They should have showed it at E3, but they didn't or something.
If you fall off the map, you'll be reset at a checkpoint, you can set laps, and best of all, Landmines! So according to Bungie, they just beat Forza Motor Sport.
On the topic of cinematics, apparently they got even better. Graphics are big to me, so this is a major plus. The cinematic team gets more time to work on the game before it comes out, so this things gonna look fresh to death.
They also mentioned something about Inclement Weather. Thor would be pleased? Please allow us to set weather on maps Bungie, and while your at it, add clan support.
And in the words of Urk.
And with that, we’re done here. Before we kick off for the weekend, I want to remind you that Bungie Day is fast approaching. Wouldn’t be right if you weren’t here to celebrate with us. Mark your calendars, please. We'll make it worth your while. |
