This is my favorite line from 300 THAT MOVIE RULEZ ALL

Great Update i have a few things to say though....First off why is everyone so suprised theyre bringing back the carbine??? also why were you using the carbine where u maybe THE ARBITER because he sucks as a playable character or maybe you were using the carbine because the BR has been replaced by the crappy AR because too many noobs get bxr'd in the face and complain about it hmm hmm....also if some of you were TRUIE fans of Halo youd be excited by ANY tidbit about Halo 3 even if it were just confirming that the master chief is still sage and youd also be EXCITED about information about the Novels i personally LOVE the novels i mean where else are you going to learn that captain keyes was actually there when Master Chief aka Spartan 117 aka John was chosen to participate in the spartan II program i mean learning about their training and everything they had to go through to become spartans is awesome(even with the losses of some of the chiefs comrades during the augmentations) also about the halo movie dont be so dissapointed about the lack of information i mean the movie is way farther off then Halo 3 and look at the limited info we are getting on it.....i am slightly shaken that the director is going to have the Halo Movie be his first REAL project...Hopefull he hes like the next steven spielberg but anyways sorry about my rant it will most likely either get me blacklisted or get edited and contain 3 words those words being "Halo is awesome" lol sry had a geek moment( even though i sense many people will think i have normal moments and the rest of my life is filled with geekdom)but yea sorry again if i think of anything else ill edit my post heh

Cant wait for the novels! Ooh, sneak preview in the next month.

He said that he was using the Carbine to shoot Grunts. I doubt that he would be shooting Grunts as the Arbiter. Also, the Master Chief could use the Carbine in Halo 2, also.

or maybe you were using the carbine because the BR has been replaced by the crappy AR because too many noobs get bxr'd in the face and complain about it hmm hmm....

You can use button combinations with the Carbine as well as with the Battle Rifle. Players can also use some button combinations with every weapon, and I doubt that Bungie replaced the Battle Rifle with the Assault Rifle just so that players wouldn't use button combinations with the Battle Rifle when Bungie could simply remove the button combinations from Halo 3.

At least tyhere is three levels in Halo 3. Maybe another level is playing golf as chief to decide the fate of the earth.

Halo Crazy Golf!

Halo: Reach Beta Player (Soon)
Halo 3 Beta Player

Ahh, geez, Frankie I think you are right. The update is almost erotic, lol. I just bought H2, I've been sharing H2 with my brother, but now I have my own. Funny thing is...

I had the H2 strat guide, before I had the game...
Now I have H2 before H1, but I did rent it, and I'll be getting it for the story part/

Just so I'm not lost on H3. I give you guys mad props on making a game so good that even after years and years, it's still the most played xbox title. I do hope to see more info on the movie, I heard on team xbox that the official director was Neill Blomkamp. I hope he is good, I searched for a filmography of him and didnt get a hit. But I know Peter Jackson will keep him in line. If he doesnt how about me and you and all the other xboxers, go and pwn them on H2...just untill we can do it in HD. Thanks for the update.^_^

Thanks Frank, I like it!

Why is it, that expensive CRT HD televisions have so few options for geometry adjustments while even a common $99 computer monitor offers the gamut??

The angst of adjusting your display can be summed up by the following:

At first, it's like racing across an artic tundra on a snowmobile. Suddenly, the snowmobile flips over, pinning your beneath. At night, the ice weasels come.

A lime a day keeps teh scurvy at bay.

Nice update, Frankie, Ol' Bean. I relish the novels; so i look forward to the upcoming release of the next one. The graphic novel was sweetness personified, so I was happy to read in a previous article that more's a-comeing. I've played Halo, Halo PC, and Halo 2, and I'm thoroughly enthralled with the franchise (good for Bungie, bad for my private life). I must say, however, that i hope the arbiter's story does continue. unlike some, I understand his need to be in the mythology. I also understand why some of his missions were tougher than the chief's (sans Gravemind level, IMHO), as he did have allies with shielding, unlike poor Chief-boy. It added depth and character to the story, instead of leaving the elites as zealous, mindless prats that would eventually be driven to extinction by their own maddened hands. they were obviously deceived by the prophet race and now they've dropped the yoke. anyway, my point is this: i like both protagonists. :D


Also, if the flood reaches earth (and i hope they do), will we get to see infected beasts like whales and elephants and bugs and -blam!-? that would make for some awesome moments.

speaking of graphics: There needs to be a splash when things fall in the water! Not just for explosions and bullets but for times when you drive the warthog into the depths on relic. I don't like just being absorbed by the water, it needs to be a violent splash when I'm taken to my wet death by a Benidict warthog driver.

  • 08.12.2006 8:31 AM PDT

that is awesome! and that golf thing would be a fun minigame for Halo 3, the people making that game should consider that.

I doubt that Bungie started working on Halo 3 as soon as they released Halo 2.


They announced they were working on a new project soon after Halo 2 release, just never said what it was, and anyway the game isn't in that much development for the last few months, that is all fine tuning and putting everything together like sound files and sending the game to be mass produced.

I was reading the dialoge for the Marines and I came to a question. Can the Marines and MC trade and or give eachother grenades?
By the way, very nice pic. GS deserves what he gets.
