Seems right. That is when your shield just gets a ripple from the flame.

What I mean is that 13.4 meters doesn't convert to 8 feet.

Oh. Your right! lol my bad. Very true.

How's life?

Takin' forever...

This is the closest I've ever come to doubting Bungie.
Sure, It's a war and all...but this is a whole hell of a lot of weapons to introduce into an ending series. And with the equipment, grenades, and vehicles....maybe we're in over our heads here.
I'm not saying they'll ruin the game, or even take away from its infinitude of win...but I'm just afraid that I'm not going to be able to grasp all of this new stuff at once....The multiplayer community is going to pass me by. [frowny face]

I'll have a coke.

everyone knows why UNSC put the flamethrower back in right? and the addition of the incendiary grenade? THE FLOOD!!! no one has seemed to talk about the usefullness that these two new weapons for halo 3 will bring. obviously bungie is not going to acknowledge that the flood is going to be there however by announcing these weapons, we are in for another battle with the flood and the flamethrower is going to be the human variant to the sentinel beam, and of course there are two weapons that i know of that bungie hasn't announced as of yet, the excavator unless that is now the mauler (dual wielded shotgun [brute]) and of course that big ass plasma looking gun in the EGM mag, which just might be a plasma turret (support weapon) but then again every weapon we have the covenant have some sort of variant of, so i wonder what variant the covenant are going to come up with for our spartan laser. anyways that is just my opinion on weapons, but the flamethrower and incendiary grenades are gonna be very useful against the flood.

I must agree with this guy, well part of what he's written anyway if you put too many new things your just going to alienate the old. Remember you can still only carry two of this huge arsenal of weapons at a time! But good work anyway Bungie i would though next like to here a lot more about the FLOOD as nothing is being released so far about them apart from those weird videos on halo3.com but it still doesn't explain that much.

I also would like to hear more about the Flood, i posted a question in the podcast thread on them, i guess i just have to wait and see if it is answered or not, doubt it.

Seems as if it uses a 3 second burst, instead of like halo pc where it keeps burning until it overheats then you gotta wait.
