good update, lots of nice answers but i wonder if you can spawn simple AI controlled characters in forge. i doubt it but it would be pretty cool to be playing CTF and have a team of respawning brutes who just go around trying to kill everyone.

i just wanted to be cool and have a sig like everyone else

YAY! If your playing campaign solo, you can kill the arbiter.


I'm sure you would go back to the last checkpoint if you kill him.

i was reading one guy's question about the water effects to frankie, and he replied that some end tweaks were being done on it - and i thought "HEY! wouldn't it be awesome if when a grenade went off in the water and didn't kill you - that it would splash water droplets on the visor like in metal gear solid 2?"

it would add so much to the immersive experience of multiplayer. of the whole game even.

PLEAASE bungie, if you haven't thought of this - or if its not in the game, there's still time!!!!!

How's life?

Takin' forever...

I'm wondering how people will play Co op in the first level if the Chief and the Arbiter have yet to meet up. Wasn't the point of the first/second/third levels to get to where Miranda's ship was dropping in? Maybe I misunderstood what I read in EGM....anyway, someone clear this up for me....pweeze?

just because the arbiter A.I. isnt invulnerable doesnt neccesarily mean he isn't immortal (i.e. he may be stunded, knocked around, made incapacitated for a few moments). if that is the case... whatev. but if he isn't immortal, is it a mission falure if he dies (ummmm... on accident or not)?

Gotta saw, this probably the best update ever.

Didn't answer the most important question: (ok exaggeration, but I want to know; they told about gender of voice, they can tell about this)

Can you make the character you play as left handed?!

There are no spoilers of any kind in the marketing. You have my guarantee, and Marty literally freaks out every time he reads any story content, such as when I mentioned that Spartan 117’s real name was “John.” Seriously.

LOL what a freak. Tell him to read or his brain will turn into an Ameoboid that feeds off the toes of babies.

Anyway, nice update, it seems that quite a few (unrelated?) questions that needed answering. Hoorah!

Comics look great, glad to hear things at Bungie are winding down...you guys deserve a break!

Hope Marty isn't too tired after the music/sound finishing to visit the Podcast like you guys mentioned before... Only a little over a month to go... :D

SPOILER-ish
so on egm there showing off the new flamethrower and flamebomb, and in halo fire effects you but in halo 2 fire doesnt so in halo 3 wouldnt it be very pointless if it only effected elites.
also master chiefs in his cool armour isnt that fire proof ( like come on it can withstand space )


YOU'RE AN IDIOT

  • 08.11.2007 2:03 AM PDT

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

Sweet update

really liked the artwork from the comic panels, the detail was awesome and so true to the game, so I’m guessing this comic depicts the chiefs escape from the forerunner ship seeing as I read recently in a mag that Halo 3 doesn’t directly pick up after the events of halo 2 so these comics must serve as a means to filling in the gaps in the story, ill pick the comic up when it comes out for sure because I really want to know how the heck he gets of that ship looks like he escapes in a covenant Seraph fighter in the hanger or something, I’m guessing the game will only touch on that part of the story and then get into the action on earth. Sweet can't wait for my copy of halo 3 to arrive in the mail next month! I

cheers Frankie, or Luke, not sure witch person did this update as it says Franky did the update then on the forum post it says Luke did it ?

Great update today. Cannot wait for September 25th.

The thing i'm most looking forward to is the unreleased Armour Perms, that idea for Halo was just killer. I don't know about you, but customisation is one of the most important features i look for in a game, but i'd never expected it in Halo, let alone any FPS.

Well done Bungie!!!

frankie talked about colors darker than black. explain.


He said that you can't make your character black, but that there are other dark colors to choose from.
