4 player CO-OP. Great. But what about a choice of who we play as and the intoduction of more human playable characters. I mean you have created a larger back story through the use of the halo novels, how about bringing in a character from there or at least an elite people know like half jaw.

Wouldn't it be great if it actually was 3-4 Spartans and Bungie just created these Elites as a way to announce 4player online co-op but without spoiling part of the story?

Either way, very happy and very proud of Bungie! Good work lads!

"Hey! I heard you fellas taste.... just like chicken!!"

Awesome news! In your face sangheili haters! Now you're gonna suffer, tards!
Now MC is stuck with 3 badass elite units! ;p

I like the spec ops sangheili N'tho (hes the sangheili on the left, right?) Reminds me of the cool ranger elites back in H2.
Love their biography, smoothly and elegant fits them into the story ;)
Awesome Bungi, big A!
To bad we cant play co-op with 4 offline on one console...but no motter, that just would be to tight and unorganized.
I just hope everyones HUD are different!!! and shield systems, I just doubt that everyone have the same shield strength like..lets say the Arbiter..or the Chief. One could have active camo, one run a bit faster, one allrounder without any clear ad/disadvantage but not a great one or bad one in any area. and one could have stronger shield. Who knows how its gonna be? =D


But why dosent the new elites..excuse me sangheili have "mee" last in their surenames? that were quite usual for the sangheili, or maybe that was a Covenant, Elite stricted right, when they were loyal to the prophets?

To repeat the first poster, I love you Bungie. This will raise the bar towards which all other 360 games will strive. I wouldn't be surprised if (just like Halo2) Halo3 ends up being the peak of the multiplayer experience on the XBox 360.

Well done guys, thanks to all the designers, developers, testers, managers and others who made this possible.

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

BAM! Indeed! Bam! Indeed!

That is awesome and I couldn't be happier about the employment of more Sangheli characters... the covenant side of the story is becoming deeper and deeper as we go...

From Wort Wort Wort to full fledged emotions and back ground stories... quite teh evolution.

A lime a day keeps teh scurvy at bay.

This is awesome news, Bungie, thanks. Of course, I'll have to spring for another xbox 360, but such is life.


I can't believe all the whining though. How disgusting. You guys realize that the ODSTs and regular marines not only lack shielding, but height, jumping height, and speed? Also, your weapons selection would be far more limited. good job. All this because the Hud color was purplish or because the Arbiter levels were too difficult for you. Geez, I couldn't soak up your tears with a dozen towels, you babies. Lame.

And to clear up the Spartan bit: Maria isn't active duty, though that may change in-game, if she's even survived the invasion force. Remember, we still have no idea what transpires in the up-coming comics. The remaining Spartan-IIIs (sans teams katana, gladius [KIA], the other one, and Team Foxtrot of Beta Company) may also be en-route. Again, they may have engaged forces elsewhere, or fought and possibly died in the comics, or show up later in the game. The Spartan-IIs sans Chief and Maria (and possibly Cassandra if she's one [check Conv. of the Universe]) are accounted for: inside the onyx dyson sphere thingy. Although there was open speculation on the elusive Gray Team (perhaps cassandra was a member of that team???); and Dr. Halsey commented on at least one other S-II missing, a male by some name I cannot recall. Really, though, the Master Chief is on his own in that regard. realistically (in terms of the story), the only options would logically be the elites to help him. although it is a shame not to be able to play as Sir Vadumee. :'(

Although i favour the aesthetic appeal of the blue-ish elite most (I'm thinking that's player 3), the other one's interesting nonetheless. A vacuum-ready suit (which is why i'm certain that's player four, as i'd suppose the covenant ship security detail may need such suits for whatever reason) that looks much like the Halo 2 ranger elites, minus the jetpack, as Sesa the Heretic Leader looked (and functioned) like one, minus the helmet. All-in-all, i likey, and cannot wait.

I can't believe that an old guy like me (64) can get so excited by a game. But, damn man! You've done it. I still play Halo 2 campaign at times, belong to and play with an active clan, and didn't think it could get any better. I was wrong. Halo 3 in its three types of gameplay should keep me occupied until I die! Way to go all you great folks at Bungie!!!!!!!

"I can't help that i'm custom-made...I can't help...But i'll tell ya this!..I cant help that I look good, feel good...WOO! Can dance all night long!"

Bungie, will you be the mother of my children? Thank you guys so much. September 25th seems soooo far away. i cannot wait!!!!

I've seen the face of Gawd...
Cheers.

And for the last time you UNGRATEFUL MOFO's that said "ohh I want ODST's"...
ODST's mah ass! Enjoy what your gonna get and quit askin for more than what your getting...

ok I've got a question, if the MC is already on the way to Earth on the Forunner Ship how is Arby and his buddies going to arrive at Earth in time to have 4 player co-op on level one? Does this open up the possibility of other playable charecters? By the way I'm excited about playing as Elites so this is not a complaint just an observation.

I work here: Sound Devices, LLC. We make bad-ass field audio gear, and you think that's awesome. My messy desk (With work-related items on the computer screen).

One does not simply grenade jump into Mordor...

Insanity! This constitutes maximum win, Bungie. Thanks!

  • 08.01.2007 7:25 AM PDT

Believe

im kinda bummed about there only being one spartan. i loved the H2 and H:CE where there were 2 spartans. i kinda miss that. maybe it can be an option that you can choose what you want to be. that'd be sweeet.

and if so, with the additional spartans, make them lighter and darker greens and such. that way you can tell them apart.

Oh this sucks I hate the elites, what about Sgt Johnson he's a Spartan I he should be a playable character not some dorky elite.
Slow down there...........Sgt Johnson is nota spartan....and even so, does he have an energy shield? No.


He IS a spartan.It was mentioned in halo graphic novel.However as you said, he does not have shields
