Really Really awesome. If there was a way to show how Halo 3 will be this is it, I love it.

98% of Canadians have tried marijuana or some other drug at least once. Put this in your signature if you like bagels.

That was THE most sexiest thing ive ever saw. It blew my mind. And to think, the public is going to be "better" =O.... just gotta say.. holy -blam!-!
I am really really looking forward to this <3.

Good job Mr. Jukes for very nice editing ^_^

Has anyone noticed the 'Spoon' customising? Red armour + white helmet, cool!!! I had no idea this was being put in, and I hope it stays or gets embellished, one half white, the other blue, that'd look sick!!!! Or a mix of green & brown for people who think they wont be seen, even with the name tag above their head

All things being said, I suppose I can't say this.

I must admit to Frankie! You're spot on dude. The water/lake in the beginning of the video looked amazing! It looked like real water.! The video was awesome and I can't wait until Wednesday.

Damn, looks awesome. I love how the brokeback pony can hit the portable grav lift thingy, that should make for interesting times. I can't wait for May 16th! BTW that guy is good at halo....

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

Very nice! Really looking forward to playing it myself.

I know it all might have changed, but in the vid we had 6 shot shotguns, portable gravity lifts (I actually noticed that in the vidoc), a 6 shot brute shot, an unknown medal "killjoy" and a sniper that looked as if it was in scope but wasn't??

I have undoubtedly missed out on a bit, so please add.

EDIT: ah yeah, the white helmet on the red spartan, forgot to type that. Hope this means much more customisation.


Yea, that sniper scope thing seemed kinda strange, but I think I remember reading somewhere in one of the novels that the guns were linked to MC's HUD, so that could be why he can zoom in and not actually look through the scope, or it could just be that this is the alpha and they had not implemented that feature yet.

I dont think the helmet customization is for everyone. I would think if i had to guess its for some sort of gametype. Perhaps escort, and the guy with the white head is the one you are supposed to kill / protect.

my thoughts on that anyway

I am not sure about this but at around :50 when he uses the rocket laucher, it looks like he does NOT get the "lock on" option. What do you see? What do you think abou this if it has been taken out?

  • 05.11.2007 2:09 AM PDT

For the Glory of Cake!

What i'd like to know is how much of this vid was made using the tools built into the game/beta. The split screening, transitions and text... are they possible?

looks amazing guys, even though ive been dissin you for the playlists I take my hat off to you regards H3...will be placing my preorder for the legendary set today after seeing this.

One other thing, I think a 'killjoy' is when you end someone elses 'killing spree' etc. ~might be wrong but that's my take on it


thanks for releasing this Bungie.

That was aesome. If Halo 3 was lik ethat, with no change, I would be contempt.

Water falling, The spray and mist as it hits the the river (sexier than Frankie said) three flowers gently ruffled by a breeze on the shore of a giant lake - then BAM mongoose go BOOM!! ha ha awesome start to a sweet vid.

Who ever said about the no "lock on" for the rockets - it didnt lock on, you're right. Doesn't mean it Cant lock on though. maybe he just didnt want to?!?! IDK.

Oh yeah someone said this earlier too, the noise the sticky makes is different. It doesn'f fizz like like it used to it sounds way cooler!!

5 DAYS!!!!!!!!!

About skipping school at Halo 3 launch day

I'm going to school because I plan on having a life...
Yeah, only nerds skip school. Oh wait...

!!! AAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIII WAWAAAANNTTT IT SOO BADADDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KILL JOY = ENDING SOMEONES KILLING SPREE. Did anyone else notice the portable "gravity lift" It looks like you can carry one around with you and just deploy it when you need an extra boost up something! Insane! This game is going to kick ass! Mulitplayer will be fun! Also, I already think the Spartan laser is going to waaay to powerful. I don't know how they are going to balance that weapon. The targeting reticule is large in compairson to the sniper target ritcule. Also where is the sword? I have yet to see the sword in any Halo 3 footage? Does this mean its been removed?

Wow, that video gave me the same tingles that the E3 announcement trailer did. Sweet =)

New/Interesting things to take note of:

* Armor was different colours on one of the spartans. More advanced char customization now?
- Weird sniper scope-in could mean new equivalent of snipe-swipe.
* Trip mines can be triggered with 'nades (see 2 mins 7 secs - looked really powerful too!)
- Brute shot has 6 shots per round.
* Killjoy - awarded for ending someone's killing spree.
- Plasma 'nades make a new, AWESOME sound when detonating!
* Spike grenades don't really give any telltale signs of being stuck apart from a little click sound, until the enemy explodes =)
- Mêlée lunge is definitely no more. Hurrah!
* At 3:43 you see the plasma pistol being used. It's faster, but doesn't seem to have as much homing ability.
- Rocket doesn't seem to have the ability to home. True, he doesn't TRY to home in on the vehicle, but on H2 there's an indication that you can lock on. Shortly after the rocket is shot, the reticule goes over the vehicle with the spartans still on it, and there is no change.

"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can't accept not trying." - M. Jordan

Wow Frankie wasn't lying the water really does look great. Is Bungie really not making up things that Halo 3 will be, but actually telling the truth. This is only a beta too, which seems like a lie to me. I think the graphics are as good as they are going to get, except when they say beta graphics they mean models aren't perfect. Like on the plasma pistol the charge cirlce is drawn on the model so it goes of the guns surface. That should be fixed.

I might get a 360 if I don't see people righting on here that it's just like Halo 2, meaning it's not fun. I'm pretty impressed though, there is more work put into this game than Halo 2.

this probably aint much but it aint been mentioned yet..

when jukes blows up the trip mine with a plasma nade the guy he kills drops an item, some piece of equipment, this isnt much other than it confirms that there will be at least two pieces of equipment on valhalla (i think..*bites tongue)
