Interesting update. HaloClix is lookin' good, and it's also nice to hear a bit more about the Single-Player side of the game.

"Our Arrows will Blot out the sun." "Then we will fight in the shade"
This is my favorite line from 300 THAT MOVIE RULEZ ALL

Well I got on here just wanting to read the update and type a shot comment but now i have all of this i want to say.First off for those who have heard about custom games in H3 beta and saw the past 26 Maps thing.....that doesent mean it has 26 maps thats just the last 26 youve played on in the last 26 games you played.techinally your list could considt of 13 Highground 9 Snowbound and 4 Valhalla.Oh yea for the other people that say they wont be picking up the pistol until its "fixed" are insane I personally think that the way the pistol is now is a great improvement I mean the Pistol in Halo 2 was dissapointing to alot of people because it was ridiculously weak compared to Halo 1 I loved the Halo CE pistol it was amazing .Well it was amazing for anyone with skill anyways the only people tat complained about it were the ones who couldnt shoot you in the face with a pistol three times even if you were standing still. Seriously people the games not hard.Also id like to point out that i may be sounding like an a$$ but sorry its all true. Also with the whole Avoiding a player thing is not very hard what he ways saying was pick "AVOID PLAYER" then pick "SKILL" then pick"SKILL LEVEL TOO HIGH" that will have them be WAY less likely matched up to you but at the same time it will not have their actual rep to decrease actually to think about it logically its like Giving Good feedback and having the person your commenting avoided. Alot of people want that Zune...i already have mine paid off well actually i traded in a bunch of games and junk to pay for it but yea lol...if anyone with a capture card and all that can record me playing if they want footage for it ...Im pretty good Im a 41 in TS and Im a Major and i need like 60 points or something for next rank up...to tell the truth i could have like a 46 or 47 but i play with people that arent very good...nice guy i guess:-P anyways yea id be willing tto play for footage and you could enter and keep the Zune if you win it considering im already getting one i dont need it....actualloy i would be getting something from it maybe after you enter it whether it wins or not you could put it out on the Internet and get both are names seen within the gameing community.Oh Yea Feel free to look at my stats and what not hell look at my Halo 2 ones as well if you want...By the way i am a straight BEAST at H2 look at this tag SiN Odin thats me im a rapist......wow i totally just realized this is like a very long very gibberish little entry here. Oh well sorry people Oh yea and bungie nice update guys...hey how the heck do i get the pro team im on to play the bungie guys in a Humpday challenge..Seriously it would be great for getting our names out there before we go to MLG this year...in the works of sponsorship we have the resources to go and all but we want to be sponsored so it feels more official but anyways guys seriously wer want to play in a humpday challenge...help us get our names out there... wow this is so long wonder if anyone will actually read this....Hmmmmmmmm

A witty signature you say ! ? well at the moment i have nothing witty that springs to mind, so sory..................nope still nothing.......

Nice update

The haloclix figures look pretty detailed. Be interesting to see what Machinima Video's or multiplayer moves people put together for the halo 3 zune competition, I’m sure there will be some pretty cool stuff.

Cheers Frankie

well 4th page darn net went down but anyway i seen talking about the carbine and br well i think there fine i can out br people with battle rifle just as good as the carbine but if u feel that its to weak then i guess u right but my opinion its just fine and plz for the love of god dont add any auto aim to the weapons if so u might as well play halo 2 halo 3 takes skill to lead your enemy instead of just sitting there letting the auto aim do the work needler is very powerful but u learn the game its alot harder to hit someone with them if the foe knows what strafing is that why u wont let it daul weild all weapons feel very balance in the game. So plz for the love of god i say agin plz dont tweak the auto aim up in the final game leave it as it is the handgun is to slow have it shoot a hair faster it make the gun alot more lovable(what i have seen in video) carbine = good battlerifle = good still same 4 shots to kill with br and 6 with the carbine it just looks like the carbine is better becuase u dont have auto aim on the br u have to have skill to br with the battle rifle same as the carbine i can kill someone just as fast as the carbine with the battle rifle so plz dont change a thing ..... pz halo<halo 3

I'd be all over that in a second! I love chess! And to have a Halo Chess set would rule the universe!

I don't really play chess, but that would be an AWESOME collectible to have. Great idea.

Killing Spree!

Mwahahaha finally my rifle beefs taking notice. You rock Bungie!

  • 06.02.2007 1:49 AM PDT

Never been interested in this clix thing til now. Now if I could just get some master chief sheets. Then getting them past my wife and on my bed, now That would be a legendary fight! I have to admit I've quit a few games but only because I hate territories with a passion and when some jackhole "teammate" melees me for the sniper rifle when I would glad give to a capable user since I suck with it. But come on, territories?! Oh yeah, I just love standing in an open field where some can just come along and pick me off with a sniper round. Basic survival in a combat situation where projecticle weaponry is involved rule #1 Don't stand around like a tourist in an open field.

"Easy for us to say, since sometimes quitting is necessary (house is on fire) or desirable (your teammates are jerks.) "

Ok... I just wanted to point out that when I was in the middle of a Halo 2 game last week -AND- had a (small) house fire... hitting "Start -> Leave game" was the LAST thing on my mind! Needless to say I just dropped my controller and made a mad dash for the fire extinguisher.

(Lucky for me it was a custom game, but still... ranked or not.. I would have been standing in one spot instead of 'quitting'. ;P )


PS: No damage was done except to the oven and whatever dead animal that was being cooked inside it.

Wow. Long post Odin... :)
Thanks for the info on the skill avoid thing. I forgot about that. For some reason I thought that meant you were saying the person was cheating but now that doesn't make sense. It makes sense about avoiding simply because they are better than you. But like I said I usually only avoid the quitters and now and then the trash talkers/cursers.
Oh and I read up untill the avoid thing and the very last sentence....:) I skimed a few bits in between and if you want to get in a humpday...well 1) Get in line...and 2) Message Frankie. Although they haven't done a "real" humpday in quite some time. (I mean real as in a set group of players rather than random folks in matchmaking and other than internal humpdays against each other.) Also keep an eye on HBO. If a clan cancels at the last minute (check that: day before...if it is last minute, they simply don't have one for the week) Frankie will ask for random clans to play against. That's how I got my clan into a Humpday against them...and yes we lost miserably but that's only because we had zero time to practice (literally 8 hours) whilst most other clans have at least a month or 2 weeks to practice.

So we know the Halo 3 campaign is still called "Legendary" on its hardest setting. I'd never have guessed. Seriously, those are some spoilers there!

. Scavenging other people’s kills – if you didn’t kill him, you have no business crouching on him.

. Shooting me specifically, with the Needler – Stop it. I hate you.

And speaking of bad habits – here’s the top ten that we’d like to see eliminated:

10. Scavenging other people’s kills – if you didn’t kill him, you have no business crouching on him.

9. Vetoing casually – Think twice before vetoing a game you only half dislike. Murphy’s Law states that the next choice will be worse.

8. Taking off in the Hog alone – You may as well drive around in a huge magnetic target.

7. Talking trash to teammates – Yelling at strangers is bad enough, but do you think yelling at your compatriots will make them play better? Drink some chocolate milk and shut your cretinous noisehole.

6. Blasting your music at us – Yes, you’re hardcore. You love mad rhymes and phat beats. We don’t care. Turn it off. We already muted you, you spaz.

5. Insulting the room before the teams are chosen – Now I don’t want to cooperate with you.

4. Shooting me specifically, with the Needler – Stop it. I hate you.

3. Racism, abuse, foul language – We muted you already. So now you’re just a sad idiot yelling into a vacuum. Actually, go right ahead. Maybe a relative will smack you or get you the help you need.

2. Insulting Gamertags – Obviously Live can’t automatically detect every idiotic Gamertag you come up with, especially with your L337 combos, so how about this: Just quit being a moron.

1. Going to the bathroom while playing – this gem was found on a Halo 3 post in another forum. Names have been hidden to protect the guilty:


I never quit, but sometimes I have to poop, so I take the controller into the toilet with me. I move the sticks and press buttons, but I can't be held responsible for my actions during these brownouts.

Dude! I saw the new vehicles, maps, weapons, and customization for Halo 3. (From GamePro Magazine) They are absolutely amazing! I won’t spoil the fun, but I will say it’s completely shocking.

Sorry I just want to bring up a small complaint about Halo 3 Beta. (Very small but worth mentioning):

I’m sure Bungie will fix this or already has, but when 2 people are playing the Beta and someone wants to change their setting the pause screen disables both players to see and move. This is very frustrating when someone your partner accidentally pushes start and then you die because you couldn’t do anything.

Can I have confirmation on the 2 player start menu thing?


Other than that Halo 3 beta is a blast!
