I can't believe that in 10 pages of comments no one bothered to ask whether or not there will be 4-player splitscreen or whether or not we'll be able to play side by side on widescreen tvs.

These two things are very important to me, esp since Gears blew it on both accounts.

does pressing the x button also eliminate all details of the beta from the weekly update? if it does, i think you might have pressed it

i think that it was answered in the actual topic. he said he got alot of e-mails about ppl wanting to hurt him about there being no splitscreen multiplayer. he then said that it would be there since it is a mainstay of halo. if u got back to the topic, read under where it says splitsvilee. he says "There are several tiers of this multiplayer mode. At its simplest level, it’s a couple of siblings running around on Lockout with swords. But at its most convoluted, it’s a LAN party where adding TVs keeps blowing out the power (we say this from personal experience) and splitscreen at that point, is a godsend.

We’ll still have the same online matchmaking restrictions – not being able to play splitscreen in certain types of ranked games, for example - but otherwise expect full feature parity with Halo 2 in that regard – with some improvements based on resolution and evolution (including improvements to the HUD.) to make the game easier to see in those modes."

from that, it seems the multiplayer will be pretty similar to halo2, at least at this point. hopefully one thing will be brought back from the original halo title. the one thing i really missed was being able to go and actually choose the game you wanted to play.
1. it allowed you to find friends without having to be in a party all of the time.
2.if ppl on your team quit, more people can come in to take their place. that way you won't have one team where half of the ppl quit 2 minutes in and now you have a severe handicap.
3. you can see matches that already have ppl in it instead of sitting in the matchfinder for who knows how long.
i think it is just a better feature to have. anyway, i think this post is long enough, so i'll end it now.

"couple of siblings"

Is it 2 or 4?

I hope its 4. I regularly have friends over and Halo has been a mainstay for years. I hope they dont go all PGR3 and settle for less of the splitscreen goodness.

Anyone know?

Looks like the new website will use the entire screen...finally, thanks Achronos. I was starting to think all of Bungie were lefties ...as that is the only portion of the screen they used.

WOOHOO 11th page!!!

Sorry, i had to make fun of the idiots that always polute the forums with "first page!!" or "3rd post!!". No one cares, go play in traffic. Anyway, good post guys, I'm liking the actual info instead of all that hinting bullcrap you were doing a while a go...

I want to thank Bungie from the bottom of my heart in advance for allowing me to turn off proximity chat. The likelihood of me not just playing this game, but camping out in multiplayer of Halo3 for months and months to come just increased 1000 fold. I'm not kidding around; your game just got better by a long shot.

Together we Stand, Divided we Fall

I see you don´t care about the cheaters in live right? If you kick out the cheaters there will be few players left ,that is why halo 2 is so hacked, because is too open for jerks that want every thing on the easy way on live ,so I have decided with another member of my clan to stop playing halo 2 in live because in 10 games 9 were cheated all the time in the other team or in mine and I´m so tired of that, no matter what you say about the marvelous game we will see if the fact is that you have to work on closing your game , so it can´be hacked please do something about that or that you do it for having more pleywer no matter what?

Couple usually means 2, but is regularly used as more than 2, so I think it would be safe to bet on 4 player split screen. Halo 1 and 2 had it, so why would they take a step backwards in Halo 3?

the halo3 beta is coming out somewhere late in spring and i figured something else... if you read this part on the weekly update "We also added splashing for bipeds (Spartans and other characters) walking through the water (they already ripple it when standing in a low or moving through it) and significant spray when vehicles drive through it, bordering on a rooster tail effect, although we can’t make it too crazy, or it will spoil your sniper view of a fleeing Mongoose driver." (note: quotation marks are the part you are suppose to read) it said that other characters.... so it means that new characters are going to be on halo3. I have some theory what it can be about. First of all if you look in halo2 you see that the spartan and the elite are both almost the same height. Now as for my theory, im thinking that they are going to be the brutes or the marines or both. I apoligize for any copying from other people because i made this myself and i did not want to take the person whoever thought of this first. So please leave a comment or a theory of what you think is going to be in halo3.

Probably Not, that a problem with most HD games.

The important question was "Who press X?" I don't like the sound of the game crashing....

Or more likely, you hate crackdown and you want them to release H3 beta so you can download and then return it to the store. It is too bad that the game disc has to be in the machine to actually play H3 beta.

Seriously, there was almost no mention to the Halo 3 beta......Don't say you will have info on something unless you do. I don't know why I am posting this either, because nobody from bungie is even going to read it. Oh well...: (

*Sits and waits for beta to come online in Crackdown*

umm... i don't wanna sound like an a$$ , but, did you just not read it , or were you just expecting somewhere there was BETA written real big that wasn't there , because like half of the update was about beta.

Beta is just a waste of money you could just wait for the game to come out and play regular 360 live! who would waste $60.00 for one little live challenge. I know i wouldn't

well there's always GoW to play untill H3 hits.....


Gears of War...You would play gears of War while waiting for Halo 3..... No offense but Gears of War doesn't really crack my top 10. More like my top 50. I was dissapointed by Gears of War a bit.

My clan will beat you to the ground like youre nothing 2 people can take on a army
xXJts ChaosxX and Chaos569

Dude, I so want to be doing all my Halo related stuff on that new design for the site. A simular looking FREE blades for my 360 wouldn't be half bad either.
