Anyone think to look at the cloud going around the 3? I do believe that that direction only happens in the NORTHERN HEMISPHERE.


sigh honstly mate, it's called science fiction ! just roll with it, it's halo !


Thanks Frankie, as usual everything sounds awsome, there was so much info there my head is in halo overload, the tid bits about the campain sound awsome ! I now have the new promotional artwork as my desk top back ground, it's looks sweet. love the way all the dust is bieng kicked up by the ark and the whole darker tone. it works brilliantly and totally draws you in.

LB: Cycle grenade type (you have at least three types of grenade now, so they must be cycled rather than switched).

AT LEAST 3 TYPES OF GRANADE. Interesting choice of words.

Toggle crouch, awesome!!
I'm seeing a lot of assplosions already...

And it's all propaganda, but coz it's Halo-related, we need to come up with a new word for it.
Lovin' it.

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Staff Writer and speedrun record holder at highspeedhalo.net

Ignorance is the true enemy of all things.

Rocking Bungie.net for over 8 years!

B: Melee attack. Note: B may also be used to activate a subtle, but nifty context-sensitive feature.

This has me intrigued, very intrigued. Grab onto ledges? Push over boxes? Climb up? Or curb stomp? Could be more useful than X me thinks.

Just a question, will the new hotness have a spell checker for the forums? I think that would come in very useful for a lot of people.

Oh, and that is the single best picture ever. No not the Halo 3 ones, those suck. The Mister Chief one. Amazing. If it was 1280 x 1024, I would set it as my background, I guess the Halo 3 one will have to do.

You BETTER be able to customize buttons!
I want trigger meleeing!!!!! (AND trigger grenades, not just Boxer)
I don't care if I have to reload with a button and not a trigger, I'd rather beat down!!!

Today a young man on acid realized that we are merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are one conciousness experiencing its self subjectively. Life is but a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.
Here's Tom with the weather...


It's not a "War On Drugs", it's a war on personal freedom.

Hmm.... crouch toggle.
No Sir,... I Don't Like it.
I seem to remember a certain Bungie employee mentioning that crouching and walking around in real life is somewhat difficult and that they wanted to emulate this in the game by making it difficult for the player to remain crouched all the time. Toggling just makes it easy. I think, similarly to gears of war's reloading scheme, having to physically hold down the stick to crouch was a great way of magnifying the tension of a given situation.

Now, I know it was said that this feature was customizable, but, what about matchmaking? I hope people aren't just skulking around all the time waiting to jack me for my kill and then finish me off for a DubKill.

Maybe this topic will become "Beta Feedback" before we even get the beta, but, as they say, "don't knock it 'til ya try it".

Late spring is still none too far away. Soon our 360's will no longer be able to deny or frustrate us and our infantile longing for Chewy Beta Goodness. Do not grieve. Soon.... We will be one.... with the Matrix. ... . .

WOW I'm shocked! This was the most informative update I think Bungie has ever released! *jaw drops, heart skips a beat* They actually answered some questions without putting more in our heads. Finally, I can sleep peacefully once again... Zzz..zzz..

I would really like it if a button that is easy to press and won't affect what action your in for Team Chat. Like the white button I just tapped with the bottom of my thumb fast and easy without take my thumb off the RS. The D-pad seems to - take my left thumb off the LS don't you think and could ruin your side step in a fight if you want to tell call your team for help.

Well Enough Alone...

~"The people who play Bungie games tend to sense that there's something behind the games that's attractive to them. Then they become fans of the games. And then they become rabid fans. And then they become employees of Bungie."(Life story) -Marty

"switch to NEXT weapon" = More than 2 weapons! Makes sense actually. 2 in hands, 2 on legs, 1 on back. 5 weapons?
"At least 3 nads"= Spike, frag, plasma, and maybe shield!!!!
I'm so glad they msde the start menu so you can see through it. Now I can check my messages while my frend who is playing split screen whon't complain about not being able to see. Maybe thiel make it so the start menu, post game statistics frend menu, and every other screen that pops up will be split screen sensitive so it will be confined to only your part of the screen.

And FINALLY!!! Fall!!!! No more "I know when relese day rumors"! Only "It will come out on Halloween" rumors (that would be sweet! I kould trick or treat all the way to the store, trade all my tutsi roles for chocolate while I wait to get in, buy it, and by that time my ride home would have come. Then I stay up all noght eating candy and playing halo 3!! SWEEET!!!)!

so i thought that it might be cool that if after u get somthing such as a triple kill for example that u should be able to do an emote that like shows excitment or somthin like pounding ur fist on ur chest like king kong, ya know then the line about "B: Melee attack. Note: B may also be used to activate a subtle, but nifty context-sensitive feature." backs up my theory
notice " nifty context-sensitive feature" such as the context triple kill?
and i find it possible that the x feature is somthin of a dash or like a "roddie run" in gears of war
Lol, "Hold B to Beat Chest"


Huh? You're talking about having something akin to a teebag button, which has two problems (aside from being annoying as hell).
a) You can's really see yourself emote, and
b) While you stand there like a gyrating totem pole the uy who could have turned yourtriple into a kiltacular will put a spike grenade on your faceplate.
