i got an idea

the flood: one person is the flood and has a shotgun the rest are spartans or elites who have the BR. if u r killed by the flood you go on their team. the game ends when one person is left on the spartan & elite side. this person is the winner.

I see so many people making game type suggestions. What we REALLY need is one with Scarab Guns only. Ultimate destruction and chaos. Besides, once you've finished your killing spree, all the dead bodies lying around are already deep fried and ready to eat.

You're a whiny little -blam!-, shut up. So what if his "promary weapons r a noobstick and rocket launcher"? Anyways, I wanted to hear what other people think of the descriptions in the update about huge battles and what sounded like boss fights. That got me more excited than anything else in the update, Halo has always been somewhat lacking in boss fights. Tartarus and the Heretic are the only ones I can think of, and they weren't especially thrilling. And as for huge battles, there has been a few really cool battles in Halo but more big battles would definitely be awesome. I especially like ones where its more than just two sides fighting each other. If they threw UNSC, Covenant, and Flood in a huge battle somewhere that would be tight. Anyone remember the Covenant-Flood areas in Halo 1? Those were always my favorite.

got a question about the wepons...i know in the E3 demo video they had for halo2 it showed the battle rifle with a single shot burst, and i was wondering if you guys had that in mind for halo3 or still keeping it as the 3 shot burst. because personally, i like the single shot burst better..i think it sounded really cool. nice update by the way!

I think the girl in the photo is Amanda Tapping, I think that because of the hair that shows a little bit.

You said that water moves around objects and such right, what happens if I park a tank or two in the river in Beaver Creek, would it flood?

Also, is there water displacement? If the Master Chief jumps into a small pool would the water rise or ripple?

I repeat, sing along with me, I run the streets the streets don't run me.

I hope there is an accurate level of water displacement, tides (if applicable to a beach), time, always changing weather (whenever you play a level, the weather constantly changes, you like never get the same results), and footprints that can be seen in grass and sand.

What on earth is a grundle?

You know on Zanzibar, that small opening with the three plasma grenades on the camo-side of the defensive base, that's referred to as "the grundle".


What is the -blam!-?

Burial mounds, middle of the map, by rocket.


Where are the titties?

Burial mounds, shotgun in-between them, can't say I'm perverted, only bungie can be held accountable for this obvious mature symbolism.

I would love rain, lightning, and thunder. And maybe night time, or darker sky/atmosphere.

Who would be the jocks in the Flood?

The people who think "get a life" is a valid arguement.

I really want to play in the grass when the beta comes out. Maybe I will go for a swim, too.

Marty is hot. (I'm hoping he is the one in the middle. That's him, right?) His head is a bit big, though. And the curlycue hanging down from his hair is a dead giveaway that he is from Mars.

If only everyone were as skilled as you, we wouldn’t need to dedicate so many resources as we do to stopping cheaters. Players that can sense when their opponent is reaching for the standby button and can then kill them to dust is the wave of the future.

did anyone else notice this :P


So we cheat. With a simple button press (that obviously isn’t in the retail game, so don’t bother mashing your controller in the Fall)
