Awesome. I can't wait until May, now.

Wow. May is going to be a VERY busy month for me.

i like me...

That video was awsome! I did notice quite a few things. The bubble shield and trip mines looked pretty freaking awsome. I did see a few untriped mines on some walkways and platforms(0:13). Some questions I did have about those items where; how long do those things last? Is the shield bubble on a timer or can it only take a certin amount of damage before collapseing? Can is their more then one type of mine such as remote mines or timed mines? I did see the gravity booster in the begining(0:23)...is that the third peice of equipment and if so can it be destroyed? And lastly is that all or the equipment or are there more on the way? I sure these questions will be answered in the upcomming weeks leading up to the beta. I also noticed that the HUD had some significant changes. The radar especially looked new to me(1:25), it looked very crisp and you could clearly see it better then in halo 2. I also noticed that the shield was right in the top-center of the screen and it look kinda like your health in PerfectDark Zero(5:01). I also noticed that on high ground that it looked like the frag gernade kinda stuck into the soft dirt and didn't bounce(1:43). Is that intended or is that just lack of gernade physics? Also I love the new playback feature! Questions i have about that are about how its controled? I do know that over live the party leader controls the play and speed, but my main question lies in the camera. I noticed that the camera was following players around like in halo 2 and you where able to control the camera as you moved around the player. But can you switch perspectives? Such as Freelook, or first person perspectives. Can you see the first person perspectives of other people in the playback? Thanks Bungie for the awsome video! I truely hope that these questions are answered in the upcomming weeks!

omg, that was kickASSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAD TO WATCH IT A 2ND TIME JUST to take everything in. But, tell me, why are the bullets for the assault rifle start on top of the gun when they shoot and not out of the barrel? In all the guns that i saw, only the assault rifle's bullets started on top of the gun as it was fired while all the others came out of the barrel.

1. There's a bit towards the end where you see a few spartans fighting, and there's a shield ball sat on top of a mini-wall. I'm gonna go 99.5% sure that there will be powerups scattered across the maps. I'm gonna hazard a guess that when they spawn they'll be random, too.

2. One of the previous weekly updates, the one about the warthog, has something in there about detachable weaponry. That gun resembles the warthog turret, it's safe to say you're probably right about that too. Which means, if we DO end up seeing a rockethog.......=)


1. Yeah, I noticed that. Since it's from the Alpha build, I don't want to suggest that it's definitely going to be that way, though. Still, yes, I think that sounds like the most reasonable way for Bungie to go.

2. Honestly, though, while carrying a Warthog's chain gun around would be nice, that's not what I really care about. You know what I'm REALLY interested in? Detaching the Gauss cannons. Duuuude. Driving to the other team's base in a full Warthog, detaching the cannon, bursting into the other team's base with a Gauss in-hand and blowing them all away so a teammate can snag the flag? Priceless. That is an extremely arousing thought. Or using it on defense? "Oh, you're coming for our flag with a shotgun? I don't think so." BLAM. I have a feeling that I'm going to LOVE the amped-up firepower in this game.

UPINYOFACE4RILL!!!

kinda creepy i was just talking to someone about that.... they still havent shown ANYTHING about a gauss hog, and i really want to see what theyve done with it since its about my favorite weapon in halo 2.... cmon just a peek maybe? i can only assume it will be in halo 3. even if you cant rip off the cannon.

sorry for the double post

they were referring to the bullets not seeming to come from the barrels, and its because its an alpha build not anything final...

Looks sweet! If those are alpha graphics, the final are going to be AMAZING!
Also, I am sure this has been discussed before, but I didn't want to read 13 pages of posts...
Anyone catch onto what the x-button does? I think I might be for laying traps, (trips mines, bubble shield, ect.), or stopping time/changing the camera angle.

To tell ya the truth, I would hope, that if you could detach the guass cannon, it would take 2 players, because otherwise, it would be a little too advantageous.

Something I haven't seen people commenting on is the return of the melee lunge from Halo 2. Go to 6:40 to see it.

Friggin' sweet. Cannot wait.

for the millionth time, the x button deploys equipment. 'special' equipment if you will. Things such as the bubble shield, trip mines, and the 3rd shown item is speculated to be a portable temporary grav lift. NOT STOPPING TIME. that is the game film function. you can watch the game AFTER ITS DONE, from any angle, or anyones view etc.

EDIT: you would have only had to read 2 pages btw, Frankie posted what the x button did...

look at the eyes....look what is in them...

How do you switch equipment? You can carry more than one item, starting at 0:53 (and again at 1:25), you can see two different items in the Hud under the grenades. One is a mine (it matches the one you see when they actually reveal the trip mine later on), the other, in each instance, is something else.

It looks like there will be more than 3 types of equipment..
