Bungie, work on your German.

It is difficult to make video games, but it is NOT hard to put umlauts where they need to go.
The German word for over, great and about is correctly spelled: ÜBER.
Another gramaticly accepted version is ueber.

You can put those little dots above a u by typing in alt+0220 or for a lower case alt+0252.
You make it seem like it is as hard as making a time bubble.

MASTERPOO1: exactly! i meant that later on in the DOA series, we could see
master chief in there, and maybe even find out that she like a great great
great great grandaughter of 117

Okay. First of all, if anyone read any of the Halo books, they would know this couldn't be true.(and while I'm on that topic, let me say that unless Halo:First Strike becomes Halo 3 then that book was a major screwup.) Now I'm not flaming MASTERPOO1, but unless they cloned the Chief he probably wouldnt have kids, for the reason that he's not married and I doubt they would let him get together with someone just to have a kid, I mean, come on, he's a soldier, not an offspring machine.

De_Snake: "..and most deadly when fired acurately sidearm known as
"THE M6D PISTOL"..."

And I MUST agree here. Admit it guys, the Halo 1 pistol kicks butt over the Halo 2 pistol. Try getting a 3-shot kill on an Elite on Heroic with the Halo 2 pistol. No can do, huh? Now try the same with the Halo 1 pistol. Get's a lot easier doesn't it? Don't forget that besides the rocket launcher, the pistol is about the only weapon you can kill a Hunter with quickly on say, The Silent Cartographer. Now, back on topic.

DOA4 is gonna rock, but I wouldn't buy it just for the lady Spartan. Also, my understanding was that there were only 200 Spartans, numbered accordingly. Therefore the highest Spartan number would be SPARTAN-200 , which means SPARTAN-458 can't be right. Oh well. Doesn't really matter. One other thing: It would be nice to see the CQC in DOA4 added to Halo 3, because the melee in both Halo 1 and 2 really stinks.

Finally, someone who not only has time for the game but also time for the books! Congratulations, Smeee. And yes, Dr. Halsey did start the SPARTAN-II project, so good job on the facts there. And you're right (well, somewhat), there WOULD have been more Spartans had they not SUPPOSEDLY been killed in The Fall of Reach. However, along comes First Strike and overturns all that, making you fully right. One other thing: If the Chief did get married/have kids wouldn't it be him and Kelly? She always seems to be a match for the Chief in the books.

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe -CS

OK, I totaly understand the fact that a Spartan would -blam!- any ninja, but over that, I thought it said that she was stuck in the 21st century, so why is she fighting in a 26th century spaceship?

It's a good idea, but it will create problems for future Halo games. When, and if, they make a third Halo. They will need to incorperate the idea that the Spartans can fight without guns. For example, if you really like a certain move from DOA4 and then you play Halo3. You may want to be able to use that move, but if they don't add that to the arsenal of Master Chief. It may create problems and people might b***h and moan about how they really liked DOA4 and how they didn't like Halo3 because it didn't include the moves that you learned. The idea is good, I like the idea of a Spartan, beating the s**t out of one of those girls from DOA. xD!!!

Ok, I got the game, and I have to say, that Nicole kicks @$$. The game all around is great! But one question, for people who have the game, in the news for this here on Bungie, it says something about a secret in the casion level......any speculation on what they were talking about?

The "secret" is that if you select a Spartan in that level, a warthog will drive by occasionally.
(I got the game yesterday,and the Spartan is great).
The costumes are just different colors.

If you like fighting games, or just have to have any game with a Spartan in it, you should get this, but be warned-the AI is terribly hard (as in, easiest mode is normal, and normal mode, final boss can kill you in in 5 seconds, and counters 50-80% of the time). So if you're not committed, be warned-you have to beat the game 17 times to unlock the Spartan, and 5 times on a harder mode to get all costumes.

I must emphasize-this is not the typical complaints from a bad player-think Halo legendary difficulty for its normal mode equivalent (and about as many tries). You'll find yourself extremely pissed off, especially when you get killed by the comp. for the 50th time.

7 costumes, 1 is green, 2 is red, 3 is blue, 4 is shiny white-silver, 5 is light green or tan (can't remember), 6 is solid white, and 7 is black with red trim. From what I've found, you will never be able to see her face, but she is by far the best character. Not only because she is a Spartan, but she is the only one that speaks in English. (for those who don't know, DOA is traditionally in japanese voice with subtitles)

It is definitely not book/game accurate, as it takes more than one or two hits to kill people, and the other people actually damage you (and if another player that's a spartan sticks you, it only takes off 1/3 to 1/4 of your health.)
