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..


the first time its an assault rifle, second time its a spiker.

Ok, not only is this a very awesome and informing movie, but I don't think i quite captured the x button. Does it drop a bubble thing? or a field bomb? or does it play the death movie? Thanks Bungie for this new movie it's great, the game looks really athstetic and fun. Oh, yeah i wanna skip april too cuz my b'day is in may wooooot!

I cannot believe that no-one noticed the two halo 1 campaign maps in the vid.
The Big-snowy-canyon bridge from Assault on the Control Room, and Two Betrayals.
and....
The room that has a pack of jackals and two hunters in The silent Cartographer.
OMFG.....they looked beautiful btw.
Am i the first to notice, if so, frankie, could i get a congratulatory waxing?
neeeeways. amazing.

Does anyone know how you will get it if you didn't buy Crackdown, but got in the first or second way? Will Xbox Live send you a message or what?

i really thought we were over this... READ THE EARLIER POSTS. there have been 129384710928347 posts about the x button, I know i made one a page or two back..... thats what forums are for...... posting things once.... not a million times....

Spartan-137

Immensely exciting, glorious moments of Halo3 MP. That's what this is all about. I love the Halo 1-like bridge level and the cavern-type level as well, regardless if it is part of stuff we've seen. I love how crisp and awesome the Spartan shield overload look as well as the weapon models. And I must mention the Man-Cannon....
And that's all I have to say about that. Haha, Man-Cannon.
Only one concern, and I doubt I'm the only one who feels this way, but, the Bubble Shield should be smaller, not the shield itself, but the deployment device ("grenade"). I see the purpose of having a large ball to roll with you, but I think you could accomplish this with a smaller size so it looks more like the badass-ness we saw in the Starry Night trailer.
The Trip-mine is awesome as well, and though I was hoping for a "Kick" X-Button mapping, I'll be overjoyed with these Non-grenade deployment weapons as the X-Button. I may be mistaken, but I'm just gonna assume that that's what X is. Oh, and I almost forgot... The water looks fantastic, even on this build. Great job Bungie, I can't wait for the Fall let alone May 16.

Im Canadian Eh!

I seen halo 3 on youtube, but not in high quality, it was the beta, you guys should check out who is leaking your stuff because probably most of the halo fans love surprises and some people are wrecking it.


Any who my jaw dropped watching the MP Video i can't wait until Halo 3 dudes.

I have been waiting, and waiting, and waiting for this exact update to appear. To solve all problems and tell us all the amazing features of Halo 3.

It was worth it.

About 1/3 of the way through the vi-doc you can see a custom games menu in the background. On the menu it clearly says,

"Game type - Escort"
"Map - Warthog Inc."

For the guy who saw the Yellow guy climb the fence, he didn't climb the fence. He jumped when the grenade exploded underneath his feet.

Frankie is a G-d amongst men for telling us what the X button did.

I have read the last seven pages and looked at everything everyone has said and OMG most of y'all are right. The man cannon/deployable 50 cal looks stunning. The trip mine is fine. I know that it Socom you had a satchel to plant but that was the objective and not a usable weapon.

I can't wait to play Beta.

Already took the 16th off and might take the 17th off as well. We will have to see.

I am a penguin. Every day I boogie on down to the water, and eat fish. Once, while fishing in the deepest depths, I saw great Cthulhu... And he said to me "Shine, to thine own self be true. They can't tell you what to do once you've gone guru." Also, I should tell you, "slide".

X-Button... Stops time... or drops bubble sheilds/ mines?

This is my best birthday present yet! Thanks Bungie!

  • 04.10.2007 2:09 PM PDT

The X-button feature is actually shown at 2:53 of the video. If you look closely, in this frame the guy lifts his thumb in a direction that appears away from the X-button and soon after presses the A-button. At 2:54, the bar in the middle of the screen starts to fill back up, and logically, based on earlier assumptions and this evidence, it can be concluded that the X-button feature is indeed a super-dash. Not like we didn't know that already, but hey just proving a point. :)

oh my freaking G-D! i try to be patient but i really cant this time. the bar is HIS SHIELD. The x-button DEPLOYS EQUIPMENT. READ POSTS BEFORE PUTTING UP YOUR STUPID SPECULATION THAT HAS NO BASIS IN ANYTHING. FRANKIE CONFIRMED WHAT THE X BUTTON DOES. IT ISNT A FREAKING DASH FOR THE LAST TIME.
