"F" could stand for.....

Frogs

Fire safety

Friends

Feelings

Flat Stanley Project

Franklin, Benjamin

Fractions

Flags

Food pyramid

Fireworks

Fish

Or Fernando, the talking Mexican.


I think the "f" stands for Floyd..... as in Pink Floyd.

Im going with the NEW Assault Rifle is going to have some kind of grenade launcher on it or some thing. In the new wallpaper with MC if you look close at his AR just above his finger it looks like a grenade canister slot. Just my 2 cents.

Oh yeah and new hand armor is for a better pimp slap. Plain and simple, instead of humiliating people by beating them down Bungie is taking it a step further. Now you can completely take away any dignity they may have other wise had left.

I did reply. and i also said i appreciate all your speculation... i made comments on editing for certain reasons.... not certain things you said. thanks again for bringing out the quote of me knocking you and not the quote of me saying i enjoyed your posts...once again... please reread your posts and edit if you feel necisary. i do want to point out i did give you alot of credit in your speculation and what you have to say, but you chose to use my constructive critisism as my quote instead of the praise i gave you. thats what im talking about. It's very easay to inflick pain.......but to be able to heal is unsurpassable...once again... sory if i offended you. reread my post and im sure if you read it, youll see it was a possitive posts towards you and not a negetive post like you quoted me on... thanks and Peace.

Doubt my question will ever be answered or maybe it already has been, but is there going to be a new rank system for Halo 3? I'm thinking that the rank system should extend to level 60 or higher to add in some new graphics for Halo icons. I guess doing such would allow the bridgers and standbyers chances to get even higher than their fake Halo's. I was thiking there also should be a change which allows a players vote to boot players. That way idle players in matchmaking could be booted with a team agreement or delevelers, I know this would cause problems with a party of 3 going in and getting matched with 1 random person who they decide to boot because the 3 of them are delevelers themselves. Or maybe an autoboot system for the delevelers, I donno I'm hoping for too much. I guess my hopes shoudl be that your game is soo good that noone wants to cheat because they are admiring its cool gameplay.

Thats an exelent idea! I hate people who are doing nothing, and just watching the rest of us play. If we could vote on the folks to boot, then that would be such a better thing then just letting them sit in the game and the enemy killing them.
I personally think that there should be a thing where if you want to go down 2 levels, you should, without deleveling. We all know it takes longer to quit contantly to lose rank, so if there was a way to restart our rank, we would rid 90% of the delevelers. Good idea slither9206!

You, like me, write so much, i have to edit it to the part I talk about the most. (In other words, i get to the point to replying to people) Also, o know you told me to edit things as i want to, but i dont see any reason to edit it. Unless there were some things that i wish halo 2 had that it already has for 360 owners. Thats what I asked of you. I also asked what you, in your mind, feel i should edit. I don't take offence to what you say, i just want detailed critizism. You made a statement, but never stated on what grounds. I am just trying to figure out what I might be doing wrong, and try and make it better.

Hey, I noticed MC has got some slightly modified armour. The BR seems to be the original BR yet has slight modifications to it. I wonder if MC has got that visor upgrade that the engineer in HALO 2 didnt have time to fit. What do the giant ribcage sort of structers come from in the trailer? They look like the super structure of a ship. Halo 3 is gonna be pretty amazing. Are we ever going to see that myth of an ATV that everyone goes on about. I heard it was ment to be in 2 but it got pushed aside. I know i will be up and early on the release date to get my pre orderd HALO 3 copy. Well i gotta get a 360 1st. Cya


Yea...nice stuff, i only have speculation from gameplay but.... Fankie said you save the cairo station in a recent update (that means within a month...lol..ill find it if you want proof). Im sure upon Mc's return to earth (while Cairo is under enormous unstoppable Attack). He Somehow gets to Cairo Station and saves it. After wards...or before he saves Cairo.. He's Upgrated with New Armour and Weapons. I know when MC left Cairo in Halo 2 during the tests... the technician said hes working on some sort of modification or adjustments to weapons and or gear .(I'll Play Cairo and return with the exact words if want ). Ah.. i guess at he end of the day.. who knows? Actually.... only Bungie knows.

I thought the AR looked a little more beefy. Maybe a grenade launche bundled in there? Nothing say's hello / goodbye faster. Just imagine the old "noob tube" with a room for of mushroom headed holligans aka flood.
I also thought the Armor looked like this wallpaper shot for H2..

Hey,

If since Halo 3 is now official, what was the article in Game Informer about Halo 3 Dead?

Hi,

I was wondering if you could elaborate on what you did for the select press members after the showing...

I hear you flew them around the environment of the trailer...

how was the framerate? how did the press react?


We flew them around the environment, flew out over the Forerunner structure, did a close-up of the Chief to show the realtime reflection of the visor (you could see the ammo counter running down in his faceplate) and showed off the unified lighting model we're using - particularly how other surfaces, such as sand, reflect light back up onto his armor. Frame rate was silky smooth, but to be fair, that was basically an empty environment with the Chief in it. However, we're obviously trying to make our finished game silky smooth too. I don't know how they reacted, but one journalist asked me if I had gotten any death threats.


Any chance of footage of this "flying" around the enviroment, or was it not reccorded/only done for the "select press members"

Well I am sorry you feel angsty. But I have stressed for the last 4 posts now about my 2 questions. What in your mind should I edit, and what things of the 360 has for the halo 2 UI, that i mentioned for my halo 3 wish list. Please stop dodging it and answer 1 opinion, and one informitve question. If you don't know, then just say it. Not replying to it is very annoying, because I am left here hanging, confused. I feel flusterd because i feel ignored. I am sorry again if i may have ailienated you in anyway, but my reason for quoting you was explained in the last post.

Thank you for making this a darker game. The halo series is all about despair.

In fact, I will be truely upset if the final mission of the game does not involve a timed level, or at least a story line leaving the whole fate of humanity on my sholders.

Unless we all die. That wold be acceptable.

Totally Agree

I think 2 endings would be badass... 1 showing what cortana predicts if the MC fails and Another If MC "Finishes The Fight" . And yes the timed ending would be sweet... i loved it in Combat Evolved. Very Intense Ending.
