This may not be the right Forum, and I hope you acept my appoligies. But to go to another Forum would be like back stabing a friend. Anyway, Iam here because I saw the Halo 3 trailer. When I saw it, all I could say was, "wow", I was speechless. And the Music!

In the past year, I confess myself growing tired of Halo. Until, I said to myslef, "Hey, why don't I check up on the fam back at The Maw." Little did I know I would find myself watching what I would say, the best trailer I have ever saw. This little trailer has sparked my interest 'through the roof'. 2007 will be a Great year. Not only will Halo 3 come out, but Halo 2 for your computers.
I remember, a while back, I was perticipating in a Thread that was debating "Were is the Ark?". I guess we all know the truth now. :-). And that is why I am here. To find out what you liked most about the trailer, and what you think. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you do.

The Halo3 forums are getting a post about every 5 sec. so posting there is pointless until it calms down. Most topics and replies disappear off the first page in less then 5 min and they have a mod dedicated to locking duplicate topic posts.

I liked the music the best. It really didn't do anything for me because I haven't played Halo2 so I don't have the whole story so I didn't understand most of it. Chief was his handsome self, and it looks like Cortana got make-over, at least from HaloPC. It will be nice if the A/R is put back in. People have already started howling for the Halo1 pistol.

You. Haven't. Played. Halo2?

Come on, Igg! I thought you were cooler than that. I'm gonna have to get you a plane ticket to Idaho so you can come hang out at my place for a few days so I can learn you the joys of the H2 campaign.

Keyboard and mouse doesn't work on X-box. So no. I did try playing H2 on my nephew's X-box I got thru the first level and half of the second, but I couldn't do it. I didn't want the controller to ruin my enjoyment of the game and the story so I stopped playing.

My thumb is used for hitching rides not for trying to aim a FPS.

I love the trailer. And although I would criticize you for posting this in the Maw, I have to agree that the second you post a thread in the Halo 3 Forum it will just be banished to obscurity by all the other people posting their relentless redundant topics.

I can't wait for H3PC. I grew up with the keyboard, mouse, and controller, so I didn't mind playing Halo 2 with a controller. Still though, a mouse and keyboard could beat it anyday.

I'm glad they're going to put the assault rifle back but I hope that when Halo 3 comes out the assault rifle can actually hit people! Maybe the battle rifle will still be there, or Bungie'll drop the assault rifle idea, IDK.

As awesome as Halo 3 will be, I'm wondering if bungie will concentrate on H3, and continue to give the shaft to PC players.... and I mean H2 PC

The best thing about the trailer was that, well.... I want more! NOW!

Ya, the trailer was pretty sweet, the best graphics would have to be when the MC
steps out into the sunlight, that part was just beautiful with the sun reflection, gotta love that HDR, also the part with the visor reflection, and how can you forget the last part, when the huge structure just started to emerge, that scene waas good.

Music, sounded kinda weird at the beginning and end as it sounds like a sorta happy mood which isn't the mood of the Halo games. But the middle part of it was just plain awesome.

However the best thing is the plot, seriously some of you guys need to see some fanfics in the New Mombasa forum, they're excellent with crazy plots. How is bungie going to top those things. They'll 100 percent will top that so its exciting to see what bungie will do, so many things left unsolved, so many things in the story left unsolved, so many questions, the plot is gonna be crazy!

it can be accurate, It's called short, controlled bursts. God, doesn't anyone else know that?

of course we do. but the AR still could have been a better weapon and more balanced.

We figured that out the moment we saw "teh explosion". :)

The AR is still very inaccurate, and impractical to use compared to a sniper or shotgun.

Halo 3? Is Halo 3 for PC?

No, not yet. But we don't mind that this thread is posted here because it is pretty much pointless to post in the Halo 3 Forum.

It was pointless a year ago to post in zanzibar - but we didn't talk about H2 Live! in here either.

Not to gripe - it just seems inconsistent.

You guys don't know the value of the AR, for example, on BG if the enemy is raiding all your teammates are unloading clips after clips of pistol bullets. Right when they bring their shields down and are startign to retreat, just spray at close range and burst when they get farther and farther away, then single shot, then you'll take out the gunner or driver, and sometimes even both of them.

TIP: AR's are good for keeping enemy shields down, all it takes is one single hit and their shields will stall from regaining strength.

Please, also don't say the shotgun is better than the AR, if you calculate the amount of bullets the guns shoot every second, you'll see theere near the same in terms of power. Even though it says in the manual the shotgun uses buckshot, acutually in game its very different. Each shotgun shells 6 smaller bullets are like 6 AR bullets, so calculate the speed, amount of bullets, and you find they're the same.

I don't like the inconsistency of it either, aM Inspire, but did Zanzibar gather over 100 pages of threads in less than three days? I don't think so.

I think that the AR is a decent weapon of last resort, and I actually have gotten quite a number of kills with them. However, I just prefer to take down my enemies faster, and in close quarters combat, the shotgun can deal out more damage than the assault rifle can in a short amount of time. It's like comparing a brute plasma rifle to a plasma rifle. The brute plasma rifle dishes out more damage in a shorter amount of time than the plasma rifle. So in the end, I have to disagree, because the shotgun is in most circumstances a better weapon overall than the assault rifle.

Yeah, nothing wrong with posting this particular topic in here NOW...lets just make sure everyone doesn't flood the other forums with the same gripe...keep no more than one or two Halo 3 related topics in these forums at a time I think...

Anyway, if the AR makes a return, even as a secondary fire to a BR type weapon, I will be quite pleased. Even though it didn't RULE the game, the AR was the CALLING CARD of Halo CE. Which is what I think made the trailer that much more memorable...hearkening back to the old days of Halo. Its just nice...plus, the AR is really handy against the Flood if you didn't know already.

Yes, I must admit the assault rifle is an effective weapon in the flood half-way through the game.

I don't mind at all if they add in the assault rifle, I just hope it is a more balanced weapon in H3.

Anyways, although I don't like it when people don't post in the appropriate places, I don't mind this thread being here.

actually, the shotgun fires fifteen pellets, not just 6. (scroll down to the trivia section on the linked page.)

Well, I got the number 6 from the way you see 6 impacts on the ground when you fire it in sand or dirt.

Regardless, I would much rather see a shotty in Halo 3 more akin to the one in Halo CE...without a doubt. Such a great weapon! The randomized shot in Halo 2 gets VERY irritating. You know, when you've shot a guy at least 3 times near point-blank, and he finally turns around and one shot...BLAM...you dead. Nothing gets me so aggrivated as that.
