Damn, that map is a frag fest! Get well now!

Maybe this guy will pull thru but anytime you here aggressive form of cancer it cant be a good thing.
When you hear about something like this, it really reminds me that life is to fracking short, and we should live our lives so that when the inevitable happens we can all look back and say yes, I had a good life.
All of the fanboy bickering really looks insignificant compared to this. Still, I see nothing wrong with some smack talk.
Life is short, have some fun when as often as you can.

HALO DS CONFIRMED BY JOYSTIQ!!!!
Foil_Goon @ Aug 30th 2007 12:21AM
I don't know whats worse, the cancer or the fact that he made that map.

Fuck You, serriously

Hang em High/Tombstone are by far the greatest slayer maps, the man is a genius I hope he gets better.

Off topic:
I still shudder every time I see that the date is August 29th...Why you ask? Skynet...that's why.
Rawtoonz @ Aug 30th 2007 12:59AM
graphics?
muppetmeth @ Aug 30th 2007 1:14AM
The PS3 could cure him...
Obie @ Aug 30th 2007 1:25AM
I hope he pulls through, because he seems to be the only decent map designer there.
qbix @ Aug 30th 2007 1:34AM
I'll dedicate the first rounds of Halo 3 to Peter. Hang 'em High was one of the best maps I've ever played on any FPS. I wish him well.
David @ Aug 30th 2007 2:09AM
Just goes to show that not even game designers are immune to human diseases. At least we now know those at Bungie are actually human.
Here's to you, Peter.

Fullmetal Salchemist @ Aug 30th 2007 3:32AM
Yeah, if I played Halo that much I'd get cancer too.
Poisoned Al @ Aug 30th 2007 4:26AM
Damn, "an aggressive form of cancer" is doctor code for "you're screwed!" Man that really sucks.
Keef @ Aug 30th 2007 6:42AM
damn........... bad news............ news like this makes you think about the days you thought where bad, but are nothing compared to how he must feel now.
Get well mate!!!
mastafool @ Aug 30th 2007 8:55AM
Get Well.
blooh @ Aug 30th 2007 8:58AM
sucks for him, but that map kinda sucks too
at least I haven't had the disfortune of playing it much
Fierce360 @ Aug 30th 2007 11:20AM
wow you suck pal. and disfortune isnt even a word dumbass.
Cellien @ Aug 30th 2007 11:13AM
Man.. get well! Remember all the cancer survivors especially Lance Armstrong. His cancer spread all over his body, he managed to pull through.
Anyone know what type of cancer, or the age of Peter? This is very unfortunate :(
squeevi @ Aug 30th 2007 2:10PM
Hang 'em High was a big fav for me and all my halo LAN party buds. We played Countless hours of this map (along with others) for almost three years. Lived in a place with two of my buddies who both also has xbox's and all we would do was play halo LAN multiplayer. Man those were good times. Best wishes to Peter and his family durring this hard time, he brought a lot of joy to many peoples lives through his art.
fredrik @ Aug 30th 2007 2:55PM
His cancer matters because he designed a halo map.
Dont bother about the other kids in africa and the rest of the world.
Ryan @ Aug 31st 2007 4:01PM
Ah man that sucks, get well soon man. Hang em high is my favorite fps multiplayer map of any fps game, and I've played a good amount of fps games.
