Finally an update w/ some actual information. You didn't too bad Frank. I have to say this update really caused some hype for me but there's some good games coming out between now and then so I'm good. Whatis the HINT in the poster though? Is it the huge storm cloud because they have that same thing on halo3.com. Maybe Hurricane Katrina is going to be in this game and there's a Flood. That's probably it. I mean Africa and Louisana, what's the difference? There is none and that could explain why the L in the word halo3.com is grey while the rest are all blue. Ha. Storyline spoiled. Halo 3 takes place in Louisana and Katrina comes. The reason Regret went to Africa because all he knew about the Library was that it was somewhere w/ black people turns out it's New Orleans though, not Africa.

Where are the southpaw control scheme amendments you have been mentioning Frankie? I hope you guys put jump on one of the shoulder buttons so we can run and jump in a forward direction without ‘claw-ing’ the controller. Arthritis is no fun at such a young age.

Fully customisable controls is the only answer for this game. And why not.

For the southpaw users, swap RB with A, I suggest.

Or even better LB with A -like the 'jumpy' scheme from H1.

So he said a mix between something like crouch and something, to put it in short, cool.
My guess is that it is dive, so like if your running you dive when its pressed, and like if you are falling and press it you dive forward. Or its a cop off of the roadie run from gears of war. Bungie guys do admittedly really like that game...

Frankie,

Seriously: Best. Mister Chief. Evar.

Can't wait to here about the options for proximity and team chat.

Cheers from your fans at Xbox 360 Fanboy.

The X button switches guns to alternate fire, such as a grenade launcher on the assault rifle, heat seaking vs. high explosive rockets etc.

You guys should have a longer time frame of an update so people can't take the wait. I love those moments, because everyone gets all excited about it. I'm not saying this update wasn't exciting though. I just want an update jammed full of new things we don't know yet.

IXI DIVINE IXI
Call it intervention

that could be very close to the truth but i have a belief that it may also be used to lay down flat on the ground bcz i hear talk that you may be able to stand crouch and also lay down during the game and along with laying down you could probably crawl(army style).

I was just thinking the use of the D pad sucks as well... My only sugestion would be to use it for simple commands for your allies in campain mode.. eg. fall back , flank left/right. advance.. Playing halo 2 get anoying at times when the allies spring an attack to soon , or don't run away from hunters and swords.

That's all I have to say , the other controls sound perfect

"Paradox is a pointer telling you to look beyond it. If paradoxes bother you, that betrays your deep desire for absolutes. The relativist treats a paradox merely as interesting, perhaps amusing, or even, dreadful thought, educational." - Leto II

I'm definitely in favor of more control scheme options. Keep Boxer worth it.

I'm also surprised no one has said anything along the lines of "OMG JACKAL SNIPERS CONFIRMED".

"VIctory and defeat go hand in hand.
Your choice lies in which hand you are willing to sacrifice to be the victor.
The strongest hand doesn't always win, strategy and timing are key."

I think i will play crackdown more than the beta for halo three. you guys play the demo? sick game, it is amazing.
