Bungie Weekly Update 8/29/08

[forgyforge]

A Sports Anomaly

The tale begins where all great stories do. On the field of battle.
Instead of discarded spaulders betwixt spears, swords and crudely removed limbs, this skirmish involved pastel Umbros, too-tight T-shirts, and faux-surly delicates in a dalliance, whipping a disc through rain-blotted Seattle air.
"Ultimate Frisbee is the sport of Champions." Or rather, the Bungie Seven are the "champions" of a local unofficial Kirkland Ultimate Frisbee pick-up league.

And now, for the rest of the Weekly Update…

Take a Picture

This weekend at PAX we’re lifting the veil on Assembly, the map previously known as Purple Reign. For the folks who are unable to make it to Seattle to play it themselves, take a gander (engorged versions here):

Yea, not really too much juicy info, but I like the new map info and screens. Reminds me of the level Cortana with the art style.

Definitely not much info, but the map pics were very sweet. I can't wait for Assembly, even though I don't think that is a very fitting name. Purple Reign was so much more kickass.

I see its not much info, but I didn't want to take the time to put the pics, but other than that, that was all that was there.

I must admit, Purple Reign is a much better name, but whatever, still the same map.

To me the new map looks like a midship/derelict, but with a few more features like falling over the edge.
