If your up for fun community games forum chat/banter screenshot sharing or even a chance to be in one of the greated Halo 3 based mythtages (thats right a mythtage) then Join the Halo 3 Mythbusters community, using the URL below:
http://www.halo3mythbusters.com/forums/index.php?referrerid=2 142

A couple more questions: Will the ODST be editable, i.e. the colour and body armour segment, for the campaign? the reason i ask is because this will give the player some uniqueness (if that is a word) , and because having 4 of the exact same ODST running around would become boring and dull.Or will the character's appearance be fixed like the Master Chief was? to keep the atmosphere of a group of ODSTs rather than some rebelious troops that have painted themselves pink and orange. UNLESS there are just a few colours to choose from so the player can feel their freedom of choice but still keep with the atmosphere of the game or level,
e.g. a choice of shades of black, grey, white, brown, and green.
And will the players own emblem from Halo 3 Multiplayer, be shown on the ODST or will the troop has his own emblem and rank or non at all?
Also i have asked alot of people this and they agree, that there should be an option, both for Halo 3 and Halo3: Recon, for the player to toggle the display of their cumulative rank on the left shoulder of their Multiplayer Spartan or Elite.

Will there be new weapons for the game such as the silenced M7 that we see the protagonist holding in the recently released clip for Halo 3: Recon? (which i must ad looks amazing both the silenced M7 and the videoclip) because there are too many exploits of current weapons and glithes that alot of people find very annoying , for example when on team slayer i have experienced being killed with 2 bursts from a single BR which i'm pretty sure shouldn't happen!

if you can please reply, preferably as a message on xbox live or a personal message, as i'm not on this website 24/7 , even if your answer is no, and i hope that /i have given you some good ideas for any future games or Halo 3 patches/updates/realeases,

i hope i have hit a nail on the head for other Halo fans, too!

This is a reply to BOWENSCARFF's post
I may be completly wrong about this but after reading the book "Ghosts of Oynx" . Hold on let me explain the book 1st.
The reknowned spartan II blue team is sent on a mission. One of them is "kidnaped" by UNSC section 3 to train the next group of spartans. the Spartan III's. Oynex is a forruner "machine/world" built to protect them when Halo was actavated. I don't really rember the details but I know that the plot was going on during the events of Halo 2. Anyway in Halo 3 343 Guility Spark reveals that Humans and the Forrunners are the same race. The book tells of sentinals that are activated when the 2nd halo was activated. the remenants of Blue team and the remaining Spartan III's use Oynex as a "sheild world" They end up going into the real Oynex (the actual planet as opposed to the machine) which is protected by a slipspace field. Ok if ur still with me Halo 3 occurs a few hours after the end of Halo 2 so it makes sense that when the Chief and Cortana through the portal it would be at the same time as the "fake" Oynex (the machine) is being activated. That explains the change on the surface in Halo 3.

Is it true that when bungie was in the process of creating Halo 3 people from Microsoft and Epic and others helped out just to speed up the process of Halo 3 and release it faster? If YES then is that why bungie created a new one because they didnt want any help. So bungie made Halo 3: RECON.

So are we as Master Cheif fans ever going to know what exaclty happens to him? He's is going to be left just floating around in the middle of space or will someone actually find and if he is found is he going to be tied into the Recon somehow?

It's going to be kinda weird not playing as Master Chief in the campaign. Will we actually find out what happened to him?

They should bring back the vehicle ramping physics that were displayed in Halo: Combat Evolved. These were a pleasant feature. Also, there are way two many invisible walls in the most current Halo 3. I believe there was fun and excitement that all could share in finding new spots on the older less restricted maps from Halo 1 and 2. Also direct ports with just visual enhancement of the old levels would be the best. We dont need it to be changed in some weird way. We loved them then and we love them now. Directly port with graphics enhanced SIDEWINDER!

this sounds good...but if halo wars is 20 years befor the "halo" event...then what about the legendary ending...what planet is that...and i dont like the thought of not-firstperson....it is what makes halo well...;halo...i hope bungie dosent run halo into the ground...after the update to 1.2 i have had more lag...i dont know why it is...and i want the new maps soon for acievements...but i dont even know the topic of this blog....but if bungie is trying to replace master chief then well i think ill be done with halo...because master chief is what IS halo...who really like the idea of a marine taking thae palce of the chief and arby...its dumb...so please bungie make a good descision in doing what you think will make the halo story even more complete...case i see a huge hole at the end of H3 after the legendary ending...adn i think mankind still needs Spartan 117 even if is just to let him grow older....dont let it end with him is chyrostasis sleep...please i hope you plan a nother halo game that is 1st person and great like all three of the halos i think that if bungie could somehow incorperate master chief in to recon the thaey should because thats what give humanity hope for the future...what ever it may hold...look on the level IWHDYD...i think i counted 7 or something halo rings...the holographic ones...number 4 was the alpha halo i think what about the other 6....welll i hope its not over for the forever fun first person fighting...cause thats why theatre is there to watch and see how cool it is with-out having to play in 3rd person...think bungie about what has to be done...

Will it be possible to add recording and rewinding in theatre for the Recon campaign? Or is it the same deal as the original campaign?

I agree, you need to get people exited and at least release a new trailer to keep people interested.
