X would be so sweet if it activated a built in capture card.

Is it just me, or does it look like the laser thingy could be shooting at Earth (or some other planet) and that the thing it is on is some giant artificial planet or something?

I think the clue he was referencing was the Fall 2007 at the bottom. ie November 9th 2007, same day as Halo 2 was released. AWE look they have the same birthday how cute. (barf) I want it before then, but it is understandable that they need most of the summer for editing the beta changes.

If you remember from the E3 announcement trailer, the white light comes out of the ARK, not into it, and dude change your name.

Y: Switch to next weapon.
hmm... did he just say next weapon?
not other weapon?
interesting...


yeah if you havent looked at the old screen shots... like really old screenshots.... you'd know that the chief holds one weapon on his back, one on his thigh, and one in his hands of course... unless master chief has learned kung-fu and finally uses his hands and feet >.< chuck norris master chieftain.

Did anyone else catch the note about the B-button also activating a "subtle, but nifty context-sensitive feature?" Maybe the Chief will make a noise when he bashes in the skull of a Grunt.

And not to be a paranoid conspiracy theorist, but did anyone else see that the timestamp on the presented multiplayer control scheme was 3:43pm...as in 343 Guilty Spark?

B button=context sensitive. it probably is the crouch toggle(while crouching hold B and you will stay crouched until you click the LS again) the crouch toggle has to be either B or X

What season is fall? Autumn?

So am I but I know what fall is, we all knew it would be that time of year- I'd say November again. Can't wait for all the new teaser pictures and trailers.

Edit: I just thought, do all americans say fall, or do you guys use autumn aswell? I only ask because of significance: the FALL of reach. Could this be the FALL of mankind?

I don't think that the x button will do a dash or roll or anything like that because halo is a 1st person shooter, not third person.

This is my first post so I hope I am doing this right.
This may have been said before, but does anyone else think Earth is a "shield world". That teaser picture looks a lot like the "hill" that the Spartans were standing on in Ghosts of Onyx (at the end of the book) and it might explain why the Covanent want it so bad.

nope, here in America we have our own season called "fall", it has nothing to do with autumn.

I would say that it is possibly a shield world, but if you remember from the end of Halo 2, the ARK is the place where the other rings, now on standby, can be activated, so... The Covenant want it to activate the rings. That picture could just be the end of all mankind because- it looks like the ARK was activated.

great to see the mute jerks option. However I would like to have a "mute all opposition" option. or better yet garble opposition voices so you don't haver to listen to the jerks but they can still give themselves away.

I'm not so sure about this new button layout. I mean some of the added features would be cool, but that may really mess with peoples "game". Like when I got my 360 I was still goin for the B & W buttons.

at first when you said voice chat i thoght -blam!-s, then i read and realized it will toggle the types. great update. i like how melee will activate things and rb will take over the other action stuff. this changes my whole theory of the x button. maybe it will be used for squad commands.
