Ive always thought the X buton may be a sprint button, hold it down and you can sprint forward for a short distance. ie: killzone, Gow. ie: the halo 3 teaser. Its been done before but still would be really niffty in certain situatuions.

Completely off topic but something ive been wanting to mention. I was recently browsing through my Halo Graphic Novel when i came upon a LARGE hint that THE ARCH is located on Earth. Its in the Mobius story, when an elites voice is translated it says somthinglike, " We must clear this area before we can reach the Arch." I would suppose that the large structure seen in the first Halo 3 trailer is the Arch, considering its in Africa, and so is New Mombasa. This has probably all been discussed before in a place were it was meant to be but ohwell.

I think the possibility of pressing X and sprinting for a short amount of time is not-so-good. If you read the novels I'm pretty sure the MJOLNIR armor allows a Spartan to sprint almost non-stop. I think a short burst sprint is would be wrongly added. Only if you can sprint non-stop.
But heck, I'm not Bungie and I don't know everything.

U guys should make it so when u get shot blood will splatter on ur armor and on ur screen and if someone is really close it will splatter on them and if u get hit with a plasma rifle ur armor will burn and smoke even when ur dead!! that would be sweet u turn a corner and theres a dead spartan smoking as it lays dead on the floor;.

Yeah I agree that would be a nice touch, but not to the extent where its like Gears-Of-War-Bloody . But it would also be cool if you get in a spar with someone and you survive, the bullet holes and burns and battle damage will be visible on your armor. It would be interesting.

And as for the X button, I like the idea of swapping weapons with yuor teammate, but it has a lot of flaws. Like the time it will take for him/her to accept to swap weapons you could eb dead. Or what if you keep spamming them with weapon swap offers. Very annoying...

wow dude, i just read the story of halo 3, well the first thing that i read was the end, and i am only glad because it ends in an amazing way, I thought it wasnt the story, i thought it was just all a lie, but everything seems so good that i highly doubt that its fake, i think that its all real. What i have read so far its just amazing, i dont kno why someone would even post such thing, i dont think that a bungie employer would do that, unless they want people to read it and leave comments on it to see what they think about it, other than that i think that this is very risky for him, considering that he can get fired or something. i just hope that bungie keeps the game as it is if thats the real deal, and not change it only because some people alaready know how the game is going to be. Dude i think that you shouldnt post leaked content in here because it can get you permanently banned from the forums...

Subject: Dear Bungie,

Amidst all the complaints, suggestions, insults, and just general talk (I am not innocent), I would just like to thank you girls and guys for being so freaking awesome!

The only announced waterfall is to be found in *****Valhalla***** but it’s such a pretty finishing touch and helps smooth out the somewhat abrupt collision of waterfall and river. *****Valhalla*******...

******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****

-------dunno if this has been said, but maybe a hint, other bipeds in multiplayer?
(the stars* are for emphasis)

"Halo 3 Slated for September
Microsoft pushes for early fall system-selling spree to kick off holiday season.
by Douglass C. Perry

March 15, 2007 - Microsoft Game Studios and Bungie Studios aim to ship Halo 3 in September, well before the biggest holiday rush begins, IGN learned last week from two independent sources who asked to remain anonymous.

A big-name publisher and well-established development house separately revealed to IGN that Microsoft intends on beating this year's stacked holiday rush with a September release, rather than the assumed November timeframe.

When phoned, a Microsoft representative said it has only publicly confirmed a fall release, with no specific day or month slated.

The developer, which is close with Bungie, said by getting Halo 3 out early it will sell more systems faster and give Microsoft a head start on its competition, which is likely to ship games in the more traditional months of October and November. Halo 3's popularity makes it the perfect killer app and system seller to give Microsoft an edge over Sony's and Nintendo's hefty set of games coming this fall.

The original Halo shipped with the launch of the first Xbox in November 2001. The sequel, Halo 2, shipped in November 2004. With both games, Microsoft's strategy was to give Bungie as much time as possible to hone and polish their title before reaching QA and the finalization process. But this time, Bungie is on schedule and aims to surprise the world by shipping two months earlier than assumed. IGN was told that was the goal, at least. With all development processes, nothing is certain, both added. Halo 3 could need another month or two, pushing it to October or the assumed November slot if necessary."

this is taken of ign !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Look at the Mister Chief, could Halo 3 possibly have a depth of field system like Crysis? I hope so, if it's as good. It should also have motion blur, and a wider field of view with slighly blurred peripheral vision (ala "real life")

I know what the X Button does. It puts away both of your dual wield weapons and switches you to your 3rd weapon so that you don't have to throw down your dual wields when you wanna keep them but use your 3rd weapon. It's exactly what the chief does in that teaser from the football game. He puts away the machine guns and pulls out the Rifle.

Uh, the Chief has a pistol, and an assault rifle. Hell, there's not even a "machine gun" in the Halo series...
