Wow! -Blam!- and Woot!

Before I continue I should say that I tried to read as much of this forum as I could however there are SO MANY STUPID COMMENTS IN THIS THREAD! that I lost patience and just had to post my thoughts, so please go easy on me with any flaming my post may or may not deserve. I watched the MP footage frame by frame and over and over because it looks so good (and that's only the Alpha build!) and I noticed a couple of things that got me really excited, I may be way out on some of these but bare with me.

- Climbable ladders? (see the concept sketch for Highground)

- Distance/ Elevation/ Wind on the sniper HUD, ergo affecting bullet trajectory? (see end of vid)

- New gametype 'Escort'? (look over Lars Bakken' right shoulder while they're having a post play-test analysis and you will see a pre-game screen saying 'GAME: Escort, MAP: Warthog Inc.' I'm speculating here but I think this suggests a bodyguard/ protect the primary style of game which would make sense if I'm right about the following)

- Warthog/ Mongoose friendly road map? (see above and I dont have a time index for it but when Chris Carney talks about scenarios that people will play over and over again there is a shot of a guy at a PC with 3 monitors, the monitor to his left shows a map that doesn't look like any of the 3 maps we've seen so far, it has a nice wide road and a warthog thereupon)

Too much free time? Maybe, Well yes actually, I only wish I could render an image of the white board in the office which says 'Top Secret'. Sorry to Bungie if I've pointed out stuff they maybe didn't realise was in the vid and to Frankie, dude, you are so right about that waterfall.

Ok, just noticed vidanalysis w/pics thread,

Kzhack! woot woot teabag time!

The only thing more exciting then waiting for the Halo 3 game to come out is, ofcoarse waiting for one of my ex freinds on Xbox live to get banned.. Send a real indepth message to h2cheats on the 29th of March. Nothing done yet. I'm sure a bunch of people have reported the cheating loser.

Will there be 4-player splitscreen action on live when the BETA comes out?

If there's one thing I have learned in working with you, it's that there is always margin for error.

LAZY, read Frankie's post on the 2nd page, or read the article before you make a comment, and watch the video first.

I sure hope there will be, I mean, Bungie has to somehow test the online guest function of the game. Plus, I already told 2 of my friends that they should come over and play, when I get it.

There's one thing i really dont like about halo 3 is the color of the blue and red team. The red team looks to be more pink then red and the blue team seems to be to light of a blue thats just my opinion also that the visior for the spartan helmet i dont like at all. but other than that it looks awsome. Trip mine, bubble shield and that other lift thing i think will just screw up the game.

X Button is DEPLOY EQUIPMENT

You saw three kinds in the vid.

It has nothing to do with nades or power ups.


All of you people who have been saying that the X button is not the bubble shield, trip mine and gravity lift, or for those of you who just skip to the forum, take a look at what Frankie posted on the first page. And if you're lazy enough not even to read what I have quoted above, just like your denial to carefully read the article, let me break it down for you: X Button is DEPLOY EQUIPMENT + You saw three kinds in the vid. = bubble shield, trip mine and gravity lift. In some parts of the video you see what looks like an image of your secondary weapon next to your equipment cache. This is possibly just where they have moved this image to, and it has nothing to do with equipment.

I cant wait to get down on H3 BETA!!!! People are so affraid of change....but i think the new gernade types, weapon class(dismountable hog turrets), and alternate camera angles will all be great additions to the already awsome gameplay! And about the above statement please refer to page two comment two! X button is to DEPLOY these new items!

*frankie knows what he's talking about!!! ;)

People keep saying that the X button is the mine and the shield but its not; they are pickup able weapons if u look tyhey are placed on maps and when they talk about the Assault rifle, look in the top left and it shows what he has and one is the shape of the mine. I believe the X button is used for something else.... and the ""powerups"" are just weps

At 3:01, the yellow player clearly jumps and grabs onto the top of the fence before being shot. You can tell the difference between a live player and a dead one, and it isn't until after his hands grab on and his feet assume a climbing position (hands on top railing, elbows bent, one leg higher trying to reach over) that he is killed. This might be the "cool, context-sensitive" function for the B button that Frankie mentioned a while ago in an update.

At 6:16, anybody have a clue as to what the yellow balls being fired are? Brute Shot?
Actually, I think that guy was just jumping. At first I thought, "He was right!" but he was actually facing the guy killing him. Look closely and you'll see that he throws a grenade at him.

Wait, wait, wait...why does a player have Halo 2 armor? Have you still only got the Halo 2 models in? Or is the armor actually THAT customoizable? (5:02) Whoa. (6:15) The driver of the Mongoose has Halo 3 armor. Does it look like H3 armor when you look at them, but it's H2 armor when you play first-person?

Also, in the back shot of 6:27, there's a person using the sword. I can't really see whether or not it has "ammo". I see a bright blue thing next to it, but I can't tell.
