Halo 3 development is moving swimmingly

Frankie's Bungie Weekly Update was posted last night and it sheds light on a few nuggets of info. First, Frankie discusses how fast Halo 3 is changing daily like new lighting effects being placed, new art, textures, particles, it must be amazing to see the progress. Testing every aspect of the game is moving along, from multiplayer to the numerous levels of difficulty on the campaign settings. Oh, and Frankie's pretty water is going to be dropped into the build soon ... he's already salivating from the anticipation. Finally, we get confirmation that those lovely multiplayer awards (double kill, killtacular, etc.) are coming back in full force. Every single one from Halo 2 plus brand new ones and possibly a few easter egg awards. Only nine months or so until release ... man do we need a spring beta ASAP.
