lol i hated the brutes, so it was easy for me to sympathise with the arbiter.

His worst level? was the heratic leacder one.

granted i loved tha banshee bit, but otherwise- god it was boring.

i liked all his other levels though. And like otehrs have said, he WAS the number 1 covie bad guy in halo (albeit he was just behind the scenes).

Also about teh 7/7/7 release date? im no sales rep, but games are normally released on fridays. perhaps the 7/7/7 wil be a special map via live download?

These are the pale deaths...

You know, not to break up the arbiter love in here, but I dont really like the arbiter. For one thing, it was a bit of a surprise to me, and not the good kind. When I happened to kill my entirte team for the first time, and found the last, cowering grunt, and he said 'why you do that, arbiter', I was like, 'What?', and then I noticed the fingers on my gun. From that point on, it seemed 'run away' instead of 'mow em down,' because the Arbiter was too alien a character for me to sypathize. Im one of those players who stops to teabag every elite i have the pleasure of mowing down, regardless of difficulty, or SP/MP, because I just dont like them.
(And then there is the whole bit about the Arbiter having the worser of the levels, and the dumb 'bossfights; Heretic Leader, First Sentinel Guardian, Tartarus....the scarab does not count, the Chief had no bosses. It didnt seem like the Arbiter's plot was well laid out, to be honest.)
I played Halo: Combat Evolved for two years waiting for Halo 2, and I learneed a certain vicious blood lust when it came to the elites, and so when I was expected to sympathize with them, I was disappointed. I just cant do it. I cant stand playing as him.
Now, I will admit, as an author, that his story is very, very intiguing, being the commander of the Covenant fleet gathered around Halo, but I cannot understand why they forced it upon us in such a way. It would have made a great game on its own, to play as the Elite Commander through the CE Campaign, and then fail against all odds, and become the Arbiter (an excellent addition to the Halo mythos) and have to fight humans (yes, have an excuse to kill those moron marines) until you meet gravemind.
Had bungie done this, instead of forcing two campaigns into one, we fans could have had at least another game in the Halo-verse, and, we could have experienced Halo:CE in high def, better structured goodness, because it would have undoubtedly come after Halo 3.

I respect the Arbiter's plotline for one reason only: It is relevant to the Master Chief's, and therefore it is relevant to both Halo games, I just didnt enjoy seeing a game as well thought out as Halo 2 being 'delluded' with more than one campaign. It would have been better for a whole serperate game.

Why do you guys want bungie to show new screens, videos, ect??? Honestly, a LOT of the stuff that they showed off in halo 2 was taken off in the retail version of the game, so why look at previews of the game that may not even be in final version? These screenshots also only add to more hype on the game. I feel that halo 2 was way overhyped caused by bungie showing the world videos, demos, and screens, only then to take out a lot of the features that were shown in the videos, demos, and screens, or change the features dramatically. I feel that if they dont show anything till the game is released, people may actually be more suprised on how good of a game halo 3 will be, instead of saying "oh my god, look at that gun... this is gonna be sweet." Then when you get the game, the gun you wanted is taken out and the so called weather effects, plasma beams, and grenades, dont do as much as what they showed in the videos or trailers. I feel bungie shouldnt show anything.

I have to disagree...when something ISNT given enough info, people feel suspense, and people like that. More people come, more people feel suspense, more people come, more people feel suspense, and so the hype builds around it, but it stays quiet, and then, BANG! launch day comes, and you think this forum was busy on announcement day? If bungie doesnt give us information, bit by bit, every ten year old male on this earth will be posting their play-by play review of the entire game, modders will be posting the things they discovered, jumpers will be posting their first crazy jumps, and campaigner experts will be posting every little easter egg they find from the shape X amount of rocks make, to the actual shape of the Ark Crater in relativity to the Master Chief's skull.

Silence, my friends, builds hype like nothing else. Look what their silence has already done.

I'm looking foward to some info on the Arbiter.


thats what i want to see too. i dont get why everyone hates him.


Yeah for real, the Cov/arbitar story was the best to me...


i didn't really like most of the levels he was on but he was still cool. all i want to see is make his levels more like mc's levels


Has anyone noticed that when u r the Arbiter you never fight humans? Except on the lvl Sacred Icon, but u only get the chance to kill 1 human.

What is wrong with fighting the Flood? Seriously, are you just that bad at the game? If you want no flood, play something else.

  • 07.02.2006 5:32 AM PDT

"I'm hungry..."

I think alot of people don't like the Arbiter because, until the very end of the game, the Arbiter's goals and the player's goals are not the same.

People just don't like the flood because it gets repetitive, and it takes out all the tactical stuff. I like the flood though.

that and quanrinte zone. or however the hell you spell it.

i hate just fighting the flood
I'm with you on that. I'll be honest. When I played Halo: CE I didn't expect anything like the Flood. When I saw the popcorn freaks I was like: Holy -blam!-, what the -blam!- is that thing?!?! Then they started busting through doors and -blam!-. I'm not going to lie, I was frightened. Anyone who says they weren't is likely trying to imply they are macho or something. However as much as we hate it, you know you love it, too. Halo is epic. Besides, the the entire Halo series is basically about the Flood. Nothing else. No Flood, no Halo.


I wasn't scared and you wanna know why, because I got xbox and halo in 2003 and by then EVERYONE HAD ALREADY TOLD ME ABOUT THEM, MAN I HATE NOT BEING SURPRISED. (Sorry for the all caps I was just trying to emphasise the fact that I'm really mad)

OK, yes, it is very true that I'm a dumb ass. I'm not denying that. However, isn't the whole point of a beta to increase the amount of users until you get someone dumb enough to try something you haven't anticipated.

they will give us some new material, seven new things

I'm fine with new material, as long as people don't try to come up with theories from is.

The only two outcomes that could come from coming up with theories are:

1. The theory turns out to be wrong

OR

2. We end up playing the same game that we have been predicting for the past 18 months.

Friday is weekly update, they will always have something. Although I doubt it will be anything special just because of the coincidence of the date.

To be honest, I'm trying to forget Halo 3 and focus on Gears of War.

This helps me from driving myself mad with excitement and anticipation for Halo 3. I just want to try and forget about it as much as possible until we're closer to release!!!!

That's not the point of these forums though..... so I guess I am doomed to remain in a fever....

Actually 7/7 is the official Bungie day (really). Go see other years news and you'll see that Bungie celebrate that day.

A new screen of something not from teh trailer would be awesome. Because honestly, a desert isn't the best place to show off their new engine. The desert part actually looked somehwat curret gen (except for the draw distance) A screen from somewhere else would be great. Has Bungie released stuff on 7/7 in the past?

Dude its a videogame. What have the elites ever done to you to bring on a crazy bloodthirsty attitude of mowing everyone down ruthlessly like a lamb? Calm Down.

damn...
if you compare it to halo 2's media that we got during the development...
they really are keeping a lot unsaid...

halo 3 has been underwork right after halo 2...so that means over a year and a half...all we get is an announcement trailer, screens from the announcement trailer, and a documentry...

i know that in halo 2's process we knew A LOT more...

it keeps me on my toes though.

Well 7/7/07 is the release date of Halo 3.


you have no proof besides the 7's. and i will bet it wont happen because that is a Saturday. which is NOT a business day


Actually its a Friday.
No its not. Halo 3 will be released on a Tuesday, just like all other media. I just looked at a 2006 calender and the 7/7 was a Friday, but next year it is a Saturday. Halo
3 will be released on Tuesday like all other media.
