Try stepping in another person's shoes.
Wait, what?
Oh, not literally, of course!

11. On the third mission, Dare commits suicide after checking her P.D.A only to find hundreds of thousands of messages asking how she obtained the helmet and if they can "has."

12. Grunts attempt to kill you by jumping off of tall buildings.

13. Grunts laugh at you and call you a "noob" when you die.

The Stig is dead to me
-Carrick

i cant believe some people have the audacity to think this is real...are your brains made from frigging copper?

14. Rick astley pops out of nowhere and teabags you when you die

Assguards are only important to people who run away from danger. Personally, I like to throw myself into danger facefirst, in a beautiful swan dive.

301. You find Romeo trying to score. You find him scoring.

344. You catch Dare in her "daring" acts. >.>

45. No BR

If I had one wish for Bungie.net, it would be to be able to change my username. Even if it cost me Microsoft Fun-Money, Space Bucks, or Stosh Dollars. That is all.

47. Every time you get shot a grunt gives a bandaid.
48. It ends with you in half of a ship flying towards a planet when the superintendent says those famose lines.

11. After you complete all vidmaster achievements and check to see your awesome new Recon, Its not there. Then Bungie says its a glitch that cannot be fixed.

12. Instead of being just the Halo 3 Multiplayer with all the maps, the secound disc is actually a disc to install the maps. But when you try to install any of the maps, an error occurs that stops you from doing so.

13. If you beat the game on Legendary, a scene occurs with Master Chief taking off his Helmet. And its the same like this video, but with better graphics and some different scenery.

14. Everytime you go toward an easter egg you die automatically, thus not allowing you to see what it is. If you try to do so in theater, it ends the film.

15. Skulls are replaced with with effects that make the game impossible. Such as, the floor below you disapears, making you fall to your death. Or everytime you damage an enemy, you damage yourself and heal the enemy.

16. When Bungie brings the Halo: Reach beta out, you go to extras and play it, only to find this popular video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0

At the end of the game the rookie gets in a ship and tells everyone that he is "Finishing this fight!"

  • 06.08.2009 3:18 PM PDT

1478: Bungie makes a last minute change to the fall damage and The Rookie dies every time he leaps from his drop pod in the beginning of the game.

17. Starting the game on easy makes it go back to the main menu with a message
"No noobs allowed." Sorry noobs. =(

18. If you survive Firefight for 11 minutes and 7 seconds, Master Chief spawns and kills you and your teammates.

19. The IWHBYD Skull doesn't work. =O

Go by the Store. Make sure you pick up Headlight Fluid and Elbow Grease. Hurry back.

44. At the end of the Capaign they take off thier helmets, and its just another helmet.

  • 06.08.2009 3:29 PM PDT

11. On the final mission you get to the LZ where a pelican is waiting. It has no pilot and your the only one who can fly it. So your like OMG i really get to fly it this time. NO. At this point it randomly blows up and you have to take the warthog...again....with the rick roll music playing the WHOLE TIME.

12. Everyone in the game has cliche names and callsigns. For example "Doc", "Johnson", "Mac", and 'Sarge". And Doc isnt even a corpsman.

13. The only person you have communication with playing as the rookie is Brucie. Cuz thats how we roll

Whats really screwed up is the idea of having to buy weapons via the XBL marketplace isn't that far fetched....

God I hope it never reaches that.

"Nothing is True, Everything is Permited."

333. An SI opperated ice cream truck follows you everywhere (even into buildings) while playing that awful song loudly. When and if you finally give in to temptation it will explode and be replaced by another one shortly thereafter.

Recon 111 was stationed nearby Voi, Kenya during the Second Battle of Earth and the Battle of Voi, and was tasked to report Covenant activity near a small section of Earth that had been glassed by Covenant warships.Recon 111 reported to Commander Miranda Keyes that the Covenant Cruisers had found something within the crater they were digging.

Of course this list is fictitious and feel free to add your own.

1. Bungie sells in-game real time advertising which is bought out for the first three months of the games launch by High School Musical and the Jonas Brothers

2. Your marine has a bumbling side-kick that knocks over trash cans, alerting every nearby enemy and says 'aye aye aye, mumma mia!'

3. Your marine cries 'YIPPIEEEEE' just like Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars Episode 1 every time he picks up a grenade which eventually makes you avoid picking them up.

4. Aside from the SMG, all other weapons can be unlocked via the xbox marketplace for 80MS points each.

5. The part where you challenge the Brutes to an illegal street race in order to free your marine buddy.

6. The part when the Brute chieftain loses the above mentioned race and takes off his helmet and starts jumping on it and cursing his Grunt pit-crew.

7. The horrible fishing mini-game you need to complete to unlock the final level.

8. To bring in sponsorship revenue, you marine gets health back by drinking Mountain Due and occasionally says things like 'Boy, the Covenant don't know what they are missing out on with Mountain Due's smooth refreshing taste'.

9. About 90% of the cut-scenes are sung.

10. The fact that you earn points for doing stunts on your Mongoose and that you can earn score multipliers by linking tricks together.

Edit: I've been laughing my guts up at your additions to the list. I haven't laughed this good in a forum in a long time. SUCCESS!!!

Also, I wish I had a dollar for every time someone typed 'fail' on bnet. It's just getting so old. Also, I like how the haters are totally outnumbered by people who enjoy this thread and that they have nothing that original or witty to say so they just end up looking desperate and cute. Keep it up, keep posting fail comments cause it's pretty funny in my opinion.

are even half of those things true?.....

20. Hunters Fuel Rod laser arms are replaced with Spartan Laser arms that keeps going for a few seconds.

21. Jackal Snipers are 100% accurate with thier shots.

22. The Rookie asks Dare if he can has Recon, she gets pissed that she is always asked that, and kills him. This causes you to lose. This happens in every difficulty except Legendary.

Actually I listened to the audio and he said something about the body rewarding social interaction because is was necessary to survive... well so was the appendix, and now all the appendix does is explode and kill you.
