Fuh-Q - The Frequently Asked Questions on the Halo 3 Forum...
Everyone is talking about the trailer! Where is it?!?
It was in the Top Stories section of the News page, but as life moves on, has moved steadily away. For the very few of you that don't yet have the video, grab it here:
Small Versions
Windows Media Player Small
Quicktime (and other .mov compatible) Small
Large Versions
Windows Media Player Large
Quicktime (and other .mov compatible) Large
Does Cortana say Sword or Source?
Cortana says Sword - s-Marty, Frankie
Is he holding the Assault Rifle?
Not quite. s-Frankie
What are the rings in the background?
The remnants of the Space Elevator s-Frankie
Why do all the threads keep getting locked?
Because there has been a bombardment of spammy and repeated topics. Most of the distinct covered topics are in the Threads of Interest Sticky at the top of the forum. Please post a new thread only as a last resort. -s GameJunkieJim
But my topic is unique!
Everyone has a unique way of presenting a single idea. Sometimes it's different aspects of the same subject. Sometimes people just think that they can sneak one in, and be "the one" who thought of it. Well, we've got a job to do. We've been busting our butts to bring you a readable forum with a minimum of 5 second topics. When new things keep coming up, it bumps all the similar threads to the back. That's not fair either, so we lock the duplicates. Recently, the moderators made 4 main "Idea" threads. These are not any more official than your own, but it does keep them in a central location, and easy to find (Since they're in the sticky) Don't worry, we aren't trying to take credit for anything. Bungie isn't in the habit of grabbing direct ideas from the forums anyway. -s GameJunkieJim
Well, how come the Theory threads aren't getting locked?
That answer is a bit tricky. Some are being locked, but the majority are sufficiently different in their presentation or thought processes that they are not considered duplicate topics. However, encompassing or vague theories (I.E. It's Kelly/Sam/Fred because of the finger!) will be locked. s-GameJunkieJim
Wait the Spartan isn't Kelly/Sam/Fred?
No, the Spartan in the Announcement Trailer is the Chief. s-Frankie
Wait, what about the RTS that GI mentioned?
Well obviously it was a crock. Somebody probably played a joke on them. Or it was the worst/best April Fools joke ever. s-GameJunkieJim
Aha! But this Trailer isn't gameplay, it's a cutscene, it could be an RTS still, right?
The Halo 3 FAQ has stated that it will be a "story-driven action game, a first-person shooter". So the answer is 'No'. s- Halo 3 FAQ
So what about a Demo?
If they were gonna release a demo, they have it planned already. The moderators won't know until you do, one way or the other. So please stop asking. s-GameJunkieJim
Will Halo 3 be released for the old XBox as well as the 360?
We don't know. It seems doubtful. I don't count on Bungie coding a version of Halo 3 specifically for the old-Box. Halo 2 had a hard enough time running on it. Besides, you have over a year to save up for a 360. s-Great_Pretender
Is there anyplace for real time chat?
Sure is! Fire up your favorite IRC client and connect to:
irc.bungie.org and go to channel #H3. If you don't have a client, you can use chat.moap.net and join any room on the list, then type /join #H3 and then type /leave in the other room.
Keep an eye on this thread, as more things will be added to this list periodically as more facts become availiable.
Note to editing moderators, when editing, watch the links in the videos section.
