Subject: Typo or big NO NO from IGN? What do they know that we don't?

Halo 3 multiplayer is frustrating.

Typo.

Or I would say ignorance. Heres another "typo" from the same article... "As Cortana switches on and of screen, saying things like "I am your god, your feeling, your source," Saying what? What trailer did they watch?

And that is still up there.
IGN is a horible games publication. They have Ps2 and Xbox screens mixed in w/ 360 screens saying they all 360. Just plain bad jourlalism.

IGN has a ton of typos all over their website.

huh.....

I don't know if this is true but a while back I heard that some people got a 5 minute trailer, the ones that clicked it first or something. Its probably not true, and I hope that bungie will clear the IGN crack heads. Well, it might be true, but highly unluckly. man, im confuzing...lol

lol your all just reading it wrong. it just states that master chief is one of the two last spartins.
also, the other bit is just how that person interpreted what cortana says, which you ll have to admit, is hard to understand...

Maybe the Spartan in the trailer isn't Master Chief at all, maybe its a Spartan from the Spartan 2 program, I mean he's got new armor and an assault rifle so something has been changed up. Wouldn't make a whole lot of sense since they haven't really gone by the books storyline but I thought I'd say it anyways. And yes there are more than 2 Spartans left, someone out there should know each one by name, I don't know if I remember all of them or not, there was Linda, Kelly who went with Dr.Halsey to the Spartan 2 program at the end of First Strike and then Fred, I think Linda might have been too messed up though and was put in cryo-stasis, can't remember.

IGN flings stuff around that usually isn't true. Like the price of the Wii being $99, or Ninja Gaiden 2 being for PS3.

It is Master Chief. Want to know why? Because Bungie said it in a weekly update.

They probably read the books too.

We know for SURE that at least Kelly is alive, so IGN must be intrigued about Halo 3's Spartan count, since it was low in Halo 2.


I've read the books a lot, and I know for SURE that Fred, Linda, and Will are alive. We don't know what happened to Dr. Halsley or Kelly.....yet. (But Eric Nylund wouldn't have them die after leaving for some important reason; we'll find out in the next book he's writing right now.)

I'd have to go with the Crackhead intern theory on this one. At no point does the cameral lower to let you eye any two remaining spartans. That's why I don't read IGN. I read magazines, my favorite being EGM.


Aye, EGM 'tis a good magazine.

Your mother is so fat, she tried to jump through Halo and got stuck.

Go check out ma file share. plz? lol

WAIT !!!! Somebody go to about 1:40 into the trailer then pause it. Tell me what those 2 objects are behind MC, they are way back close to the left edge of the camera on the cliff behind MC. It could be me but it looks like there is 2 somethings standing thee. Someone else look if you have they bigger version of the trailer, I dl-ed the small one because of my dial-up.

I would take a screenshot of this but I don't know how, I tried to use the " print screen " button but it didn't work. They are in the top-left-hand corner of the video at 1:40.

You say tomato; I say potato.

Master Chief stops walking and the camera lowers, pointing up at one of two remaining Spartan soldiers , giving you the chance to eye all of the incredible detail from the new, next-generation super soldier."

My bet is that they're counting on there being a co-op campaign in Halo 3... thus two Spartans. They're probably right in thinking that... but it's still guesswork at this stage, with no information released yet.

-- Steve's thinking it's a pretty low tactic to use that phrasing. Sheesh, you'd think they were attention-starved or something.

  • 05.18.2006 8:43 PM PDT

I'll be on my own side.

IGN is very unreliable. Did you all forget that they said with certainty that Forerunner was Bungie's next project?

Anton, if they're starved for attention, they might want to actually do something that actually gets the favorable attention, rather that criticism over the accuracy of their questionable information.
