Regardless, I shouldn't pay $130 for a product and not get the whole package, especially when the missing component is a piece of blue plastic that costs them a nickel to manufacture.

The Legendary Edition is the full package, why include the piece of plastic geared towards the videophiles when it'll remain unused by nearly all of the Legendary buyers? Sell it separately, most won't want it, really.

not that bad of an update, It obvioulsy cant compare with the coop anouncement earlier this week, but it was informative.

GT: FatalxXxFrenzy -Check out my fileshare!! Map titled "Lagoon"

The flying base thing was cool, but probably wont be a good thing for a ranked skirmish match of capture the flag. It would be nearly impossible for the other team to get the flag if it was flying around. but i guess the fusion cores would have a longer time set for respawning.

I also am wondering about the whole being able to swap between male and female spartan characters for multiplayer. Would seem like a cool option for all the girl gamers out there. News about this needs to come out soon.

Yes, we Dutch talk with an accent, but so do Germans when speaking English, and so do French etc etc. But I guarantee you not a single Dutch person will talk with an accent like the one in Goldmember, we dont talk with "ish", but a normal "s". Oh and not to mention not only do we Dutch most of the time speak fluently Dutch and English, many of us also speak German and/or French, can't say fluently, but well enough. Can't say thats an embarrasing thing tough.

Anyways, nice update, but I think its time for some real nice updates. For instance, people outside the States will not buy EGM propably, so what the hell is Forge really about? Is it like you can actually build your own map, or do you modify excisting maps? Things like that.

the base doesnt fly, its a land base vehicle that can hold several smaller vehicles inside its bay, the reason it was flying in the air was a direct result of a continuous and cataclysmic explosion caused by the destruction of the barrels inside.

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

Nice update

Forge sounds sweet, look forward to using it and hearing more about it soon. Man there was so much text in that update I can only remember the bit about the forge map editor lol most of the stuff mentioned I already knew about though. But yeah sounds class. Only 51 one days to go till halo 3 !

Cheers Luke

"its vital that no1 feels like their getting mounted playing as an elite" I think mounted in that context means fealing like your getting stuck with a player that no one wants to be
no, mounted in this context means mounted by, say, someone or something that you wouldn't ordinarily permit to mount you. in other words, he's saying they don't want us to feel like we're getting screwed over.

Funkify your life!

Cool man, quite some Dutch people on these forums.

I think by typing "All of which is wrapped in the embarrassing fact that everyone there speaks at least two languages fluently." Frankie meant that it's more or less embarrassing for him (and everyone in the US perhaps) that almost all of the Dutch speak English. We (the Dutch) need to be able to speak foreign languages fluently because our country is so small and we need to trade with other countries. That's why there always has been an emphasis on English and for a smaller part also on French and German in our education system. The French, Germans and especially the people from the US don't need to be able to speak another language as much as we do.

So, I actually take his comment as a compliment. Also, most of the times German and French accents in English are way thicker than Dutch.

Here's some info about Forge.
It might also be possible to buy EGM in the Netherlands in a bigger bookstore. I've seen Edge a couple of times, but that's an UK magazine...

You splattered a dumb cat

I don't know much about this "dumb piece of transparent blue plastic" except that it helps to calibrate your display, but I believe it should be included in the Limited and Legendary Edition of the game. It would only be fair to include this with the AV calibration app that comes with the aforementioned editions of the game.

It's a piece of plastic. How expensive can it be to include it? I know this is asking for a lot and Luke/Frankie will likely not see this post, but I justed wanted to rant anyways.

--dumb cat

*wonders if piece of blue plastic is related...*

EDIT: Those blue filters are around $6.00 at specialty photography shops, probably similarly priced on the web. Bungie, if done correctly, can probably get them at a bulk price of around half off. I wouldn't mind spending an extra $3 or so on the game if I knew the blue filter was conveniently included with the game. It would save us a lot of time and effort (in finding the filter ourselves) if we wanted to use the AV calibration app to its fullest potential. With shipping, I don't know if this filter will be so competitively priced in the Bungie store.

Those that are unhappy with playing as Elites, suck it up, girlscouts. For all you know, maybe if you beat the game on certain difficulties you can unlock new people to play as if you're not first player. Even if that's not in there, it's gonna be fun, a lot of fun. Adding unlockables would only be one more new addition to the Halo trilogy, though I don't find it necessary, especially given there is oonly about a month left to work on this thing, maybe less. I wonder, what's it like there Bungie, are you guys really nervous like right before a race, or are you all sitting back in a chair and looking at the finished product proclaiming, "It is good"...

Others reminded me of something. Will there be a countdown thing on here like the Beta? It's not that big of a deal, just wondering...

Wow, I have to say. Making four-player co-op work is quite a feat. Didn't think it was possible, but I can't wait to see it in action.
