...only in The Flood

I think just MC and arby 'cause I'm a fan of the theory that in the clip, while MC stands there like a useless 'tard watching the 'ark' arby is inside shutting it down, and that's the next level.

I say the little flood things...
Think about it...
You could climb walls. You're small. And you can kill unshielded enemies instantly...

Yeah, and take control over whoever you infect. That would be crazy fun.

in halo 3, should there be any new playable characters, if any?
or would you people rather play as MC all the way through?

discuss!


I would like to play as MC the whole game but have the Arbiter and maybe some of the surviving spartans as allies on some of the missions. They should be AI-controlled but if one dies it would be the same as if you dies. And when you play cooperative the second guy should not be an identic clone but a complete different character like the Arbiter or Fred, Kelly, Linda or someone else. And one last thing: I hope that you could play four persons in co-op.

Maybe some of you have played the game in Multiplayer called "virus" or "Zombies" if you haven't or if you have another name for it let me tell you how it works... One player is all by himself and uses the sword... All the other players have pistols... There is no shields... Once the person with the sword kills someone that person must switch over to that persons team. That person that now switched over can use the sword also now until eventually there is one remaining human alive. Imagine being an infection form looking for a spartan that has no shields with perhaps a third person view to be able to look arround corners see people easier ect. and latch on to a spartan and turn him into a spartan flood form. That would be insane because now all the people left would have to bunch up together to survive but if one gets infected the rest could be goner's. I think that would be awsome... Just sitting in a room sweat dripping off my head and seeing tons upon tons of infected spartans coming at me at unreal speeds and I am squeezing of rounds with the pistol into each of there heads until finally I get over-run and become one myself. They gotta put that in halo 3

No.

It's all that should be said, but for those who don't see the blatantly obvious: In no way should you have to start over if someone in your "party" dies. All to often, that kind of stuff turns into, " how do I take out these baddies without that idiot AI on my side dying?"

Of course they would have to be as tough as you and controlled by some really smart AI. and maybe you could be able to give 'em some basic orders like "take cover", "stay with me" and the like.

Get off your computer, sell all your games.... Bash something with a stick.......

And yes, they should be smart, if the completion of your level requires that they stay alive....But in how many games have you played where the AI was as smart as you? NONE. Because all games can be beaten. (except Tetris; curse that game!)

Main Campaign:
Master Chief Petty Officer John-117
The Leader of the Covenant Seperatists

Co-Op (intersecting with and converging upon the main adventure):
Linda-058
Kelly-087
Fred
Will

Multiplayer:
Spartan (Male or Female)
Elite
Brute
Jackal
Grunt
Drone
Hunter
Prophet
The Flood

The last six would be available only in a machinima gametype for creative people to use.

Bungie is great, they can make smarter AI:s and they have got the computer power (Xbox 360 rulez) Imean this is the 21st century! And I agree with you about Tetris...

please stop writing until you have learned something about Halo, computers, games or anything like it!

Why is it the whole world is celebrating the release of Halo3 except Bungie's Halo 3 forums?

Posted by: WIZ16

brutes
jackles
grunts
elites
marines
M.C.

Yes I completely agree. Also, I think it would be cool to have the other Spartans to help you, but Bungie would have to create a better AI than they had in Halo 1, and H2. It would also help if you could give orders to the other soldiers (Marines/Covenant). Also I think it would be cool if they did put in the Arbiter as a playable character again. Also has anyone even ever seen a female Covenant anything in Halo, not even on High Charity. So why would they put a female MP character, though it would make the female players happy. Also on MP, Hunters: No, Jackels: No, Brutes: No, Grunts: No, Marines: Maybe (MC looks cooler), and Elites: Already have them.

Actually, we do know that there are female Covenant Seperatists.

Yeah and if you land on a shielded Elite its back to the Checkpoint.


That's where the black button comes in...
You reproduce and out comes 50 million flood infection forms and they break his shields. Then you move in for the kill...

I realize that there are female Covenant, othere wise there wouldn't be so many Covenant, and I just said you never see any thats all, though I guess you wouldn't really be able to figure them out from the other Covenant unless they looked different.

newbs do

  • 06.13.2006 2:52 PM PDT

MasterChief for the majority of the campaign, and a few missions showing the arbitor getting to the ark. NO NEW CHARACTERS though spartans and elites are perfect thats all i think they need. I love being an elite =)

Oh, and Gunshark i like that machinima(spelling?) gametype idea. You could do some cool things with that, and it'd be fun to screw around as a grunt for a little while after a tough game
