Did anyone else notice this?

"Unlike SMGs, there’s little recoil, and therefore almost zero “rise” when using them in their DEFAULT, full-automatic setting."

Well, he may just be refering to when you're not pulsing the trigger like you might with an SMG. Then again, he could be talking about being able to change the rate of fire....
I was about to post the same thing. It seems that they're hinting at a second firing mode. *cough* x button *cough* Also the bit about picking people off in HighGround? When could you do that with a SMG? More proof of a second firing mode...



i was also wondering the same thing. do you guise think we will be able to change the rate of fire? that would be pretty F#@KING siiiik.

The spiker is one hell of a weapon! I hope that you and by "you" i mean Frankie, can give us a video of the Spiker in action. Just to give us the hook that will lead us to World Domination! You guys come up with the best stuff. Whats next i wonder?

A witty signature you say ! ? well at the moment i have nothing witty that springs to mind, so sory..................nope still nothing.......

I don't know if you did this as an intentional hint, but I would have to believe that everything you write is examined carefully, and mistakes or unintentional leaks are highly unlikely. I noticed that there seemed to be a lot of comments about the Brute Spiker having a "default Automatic Fire" and some talking about being less accurate when in fully automatic mode. If there is a default mode of fire, I would have to believe that means there are alternate rates of fire to be more accurate. Could this be the Mysterious X Button????? I called it first! PWNED NUBS!


nope, you called it second actually dude, or possibly even third maybe fourth.....make that tenth

Telling Windows users to use Open Source? Isn't that like trying to convince a monkey to stop flinging feces?

I have to ask though Michael, why put up so much resistance? Do you hate Apple because they make such easy to use, and such inovative products? I have to say that I feel for WMV as you do for MOV/MP4 etc, but I have Flip4Mac on my Mac so that I can still view ANY type of media file on the interwebs. You might not like it, but are you going to let a little file format difference keep you from viewing the GLORIOUS Bungie warez?

Don't you think there is a reason why iPod's are the best selling portable media player, and iTunes is the most popular online music store? Or are you REALLY resisting because you have a natural tendency to oppose anything that the masses deems the best. If this is the case, it appears you will have nothing good to say about Bungie or any of the wildly popular Halo games, which essentially leads directly back to your initial whining about the media format that Bungie has chosen. A full circle you could say.

>Good day!



Sound like every other Apple user.
So sick of you people (Apple OS users) and your French, Nose in the Air attitude.

All I asked is to have another format other than Apple. Just because its "EASIER" doesnt make it better. Your ignorant argument about iPods and iTunes (being popular) makes about much sense as me telling you that Windows is the most "Popular" operating system.

Besides, Bungie is OWNED by MICROSOFT. Not Apple (anymore)..... :)

Let's not start any "Flame", just want another format than MOV.. Most places do this. And as you can see, some have problems playing it.

And the "resistance" part...I have used many different OS's (including Apple) for many years, I am not a teenager (which are force feed Apple nowdays in school..).

I think Bungie is the best company ever!

unlike most of the covenant arsenal, the spiker has reloadable rounds in it.
the ammo should be sort of like needler rounds but should have multiple spikes protruding from one round

I just noticed that you can actually fire this thing around corners like the brute shot if you angle the shot off of a wall when you fire

In case you hadn't noticed, the sniper has always had a stand on it.

Does anyone know how such a 3d presentation (the gun movie thingy) was made? It'd be a pretty useful thing to know...

  • 03.02.2007 8:29 AM PDT

Get Ghost.

Just think if you had a sense of smell in the game. Then you could smell that horrible bbq gone wrong smell of the spikers. That would be interesting. Will the marines go "smells like trouble" or something in the game?

that should really add a really relliable automatic magazine fed dual wielded weapon.

  • 03.02.2007 11:30 AM PDT

If there is gravy, well then everything will be alright.

Amen Michael Apple is bad they are too much like the the French and the only reason iTunes and iPod are popular is because the Liberal media chose the most Liberal company that made a music listening device and promoted them.

the spiker is cool, i'll have to remember the riquocheting part.

I'm sure the blades of the Spiker won't seem awkward when they are lodged in your skull or whatever appendage your opponent delights in sticking it in or hacking off.

Get Ghost.

Hahah.
That actually sounds slightly painful.

I actually agree, the x button, may actually be used to change the weapons firing mode, like burst-fire to maybe single-shot.... Noone knows but Bungie themselves :( But all will be revealed in the Halo 3 multiplayer Beta :D :D

Speaking of which, i can't wait!!! lol - Anyway... Once again, brilliant update! ;). I too, can't wait to get my hands on it... Actually, let me rephrase that... I can't wait to get my hands on any weapon in Halo 3!!! lmao...
