The Bungie Weekly | The Bungie Weekly Update includes numerous interesting and informative features, such as images, interviews, and extended monologues by Frankie on various projects and ideas for upcoming Bungie products. It also often features new details of things added to Bungie's online store, and updates on [[Xbox LIVE|Xbox Live]]. | ||
One of the fan favorite sections is the "whaaaambulance" section which is featured occasionally. The section is illustrated by a [[Multiplayer]] [[Spartan]] driving a [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]] with a red cross on it, resembling a modern ambulance. The section includes emails and letters from people who have been blocked from Xbox Live for modding or cheating in multiplayer games. The people often admit they are cheating or make an excuse for their actions, and so Frankie makes fun of every letter in a public way. | One of the fan favorite sections is the "whaaaambulance" section which is featured occasionally.
